Sleep

Hello there, haven't seen you in a while. Funny how time is forever changing, undulating and twisting. It is forever unpredictable yet so predictably monotonous, which I guess, is what makes it unpredictable.

“The very existence of flame throwers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves, ‘You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I’m just not close enough to get the job done.’” – George Carlin

Life is well here. Cross country practice is slowly coming to a close, we got lots of books in English today and watched Helena Bonham Carter play a wonderfully crazy Ophelia in Hamlet, Spirit Week and Coronation are coming up quite rapidly and my club (DFTBA club) is meeting for the second time on Friday.

"Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself." – John Green.

Sleep, its grasp is too tight. Its tendrils of temptation have wound themselves around me and I must give in. Although it is not with a heavy heart that I leave, I welcome its call. As it has been too long since I last heard it.

"We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love." - Dr Seuss

I am not sorry for the obscurity of this post. I feel like it reflects how I feel at the moment quite well. How was your day, week, existence?
