Practicing brinksmanship with myself. (Thoughts of Doomsday Devices and running amok floating through my head.) Freedom is just another word for “nothing to lose.”

I Dreamt That My Sister Was Getting Married

I dreamt that my sister was getting married, and I couldn't decide what I wanted to wear. The time was running out (the ever ticking clock is a recurring theme in my dreams, and maybe even my life…) and I kept looking in the closet for a tie that I didn't own, and I couldn't get my shirt and my pants to match—I think they may have been changing colors without me realizing it. Then my mom started hassling me about running out of time, and all these depressing thoughts started to fill my head, and I got pissed off and yelled at my mom. And despite the fact that the wedding was within hours, we ended up going to Lake Elizabeth to pick up my aunt and godfather, and it didn't look like we'd make it to the wedding on time. And I remember my last conscious thought before waking up was: "Why can I never make it anywhere on time?"

In reality, nothing ever fits right, and the words all come out wrong, but you’ve got to try anyway.

Debacle

Self-pity at 4 a.m. Yes, I could’ve gone home, and none of this would’ve ever happened.

Last Days

More sophistry and philosophy. I guess I really am depressed. ECT, here I come.
