2002-12-19 & 1:42 p.m. : flip the switch and disappear
i feel lousy. physically and non-physically. i am tired, achey, cranky and ashamed. i treated a friend badly. i didn't sleep long enough. i have to clean my apt. i am still sick. this adds up to ashamed, tired, cranky and achey. when i get home i will have to take a nap before i clean. i hope the nap makes the difference. if not, it's going to be a long night. all i need is like 20 min. i would try to sleep in my car, but it's too cold for that and besides i would sleep for hours. sometimes i wish i were someone else entirely. that i could do some sort of switch, have all my memories and personality traits and talents and flaws, everything, erased and wake up as someone entirely new. when i am really sad, i like to imagine i don't exist at all, that i am a brain in a vat somewhere, that what i am experiencing is not real, that they are manipulations by the ones keeping the brain alive. the idea of being nowhere is very appealing when i am this tired. |
