#fevers
I don’t stream a lot of TV but once I’m in that mode, I’m down and I can’t get up. Best pickup line I heard this week: “You could be my emergency contact.” A girl recently called me “weird people.” She was effusive and I was put in my place. Apparently, good grammar isn’t legally enforceable. Her friend apologized, saying—and wrote it down. “She lives on her phone; it’s a claustrophobic place.” “Ooo!” I’d said, "Can I use that?” She gave me a blank look. Leong, lisa and I were walking to class when a lone goose flew over, honking incessantly, like a New York taxi in heavy traffic. “That must be a Canadian goose,” I said, because my uninformed comments seem forever welcome—and we are pretty far north. “I know what it was saying,” Leong offered, in her most inscrutable Asian way. Lisa and I waited to hear some Chinese wisdom, but what she finally said was, “Where IS everyone? I knew I shouldn’t have stopped to *** There’s a song that goes, “We got married in a fever.” That line seems so point-on to me. That’s how it happens.

Lost Sight of the Sun
I'll be okay if you aren't here to hold me I'll be just fine because my blood keeps me warm I'll keep breathing if I can't feel your skin against mine, I promise I'll be just fine If you won't be mine The world screeches to a grinding halt and my heart breaks again Everything pulsing Everything Pulsing My blood throbs behind my eyes Skewing my vision Shaking my foundations A scream, was that my voice? A vibrato of pain and an all-encompassing dark shroud of guilty pain I welcome thee M83 and another sober night I reach for her knife, but my hand stills. Can I stop the flow for mere moments? A semblance of normality would cheer my little shaking soul. I want to appear as a white beast with dark auras, not a dead thing by the wayside Grasping my quivering hand, can you feel the hate? Good night to my soul, I put you to sleep before I frighten you with songs of death
