its 304 am. im on the couch with my sisters head on my shoulder. (dont worry, the rest of her body is attached.) shes asleep and i am nowhere near my rem cycles.
its interesting what happens when i sit in silence for an extended period of time. i can hear more. like the hum of my centralized fan, the drone of my laptop, the tick tock of the click clock.. i can feel more. like my right shoulder slowly going numb from the weight of mary kates head, the pre-arthritic pains in my knees due to poor genes, the choppy air flow from the aforementioned fan. its interesting what happens when you step back from always talking, always hustling, always moving lifestyle that so many of us lead and simply.. sit. just be. its relaxing and refreshing. and the longer i participate in nonparticpation, the more and more tired i become. hey, this is better than lunesta! (then again, this might just be time taking its toll. i mean, it is 3am for the saviors sake..)
haaanyways..
i decorated the apartment for christmas today. i listened to bing crosby while sprucing up the place. may i mention that i am deeply in love with him? yes, it may be slightly creepy to profess love for a dead man, but my lord, his voice is butter. its better than butter. it has no calories, something that butter simply cannot claim. so after the christmafacation, i went to work and work i did. five hours of confusing cashier duties and no breaks. however, i did recieve a bowl of soup in return (theres that silver lining.) so alls well that ends well.
speaking of ending well, im going to end this post with a happy thought.
