You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

"Wouldn't climbing Everest be so amazing?"

If by, "amazing," you mean, "killer blizzards, pulmonary edema, oxygen deprivation, physical exhaustion, and temperatures similar to those in Antarctica," then yes, I suppose climbing Everest would indeed be "amazing."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thanks. Got into another argument with Road Runner customer service. They really do tarnish their profession with a patina of hyena dung. Apparently my cable modem is giving invalid IP addresses to the machines on my home network. Which is so weird, because that's not its job. It's my router's job, and since it's to blame it's also why road runner head office couldn't get to livejournal.com.

Talk about placing power in the hands of the consumer.

Ah, eff it. Monstrously emotionally horrible evening. I'm kind of scared to try sleeping.

Yuck. Can you aim at "resting"? I save up DVD commentaries for when I can't/won't sleep. It gives me something distracting to listen to and I can turn the lights down and close my eyes, at least.

That sucks, ita.

I'm up, too. Woke up with a bad cramp; scared me enough I'm wide awake now. Probably from being on the road all day two days in a row. (Dropped off all our instruments to our former coworkers so they can put on their arts & music camp this summer.)

Tired now, but awake.

I've been waking up with dreams I don't quite want to write down. They're not nightmares, they are just uncomfortable and I don't want them around anymore.

Such is now. I can sleep forever. I'm just scared to.

Good DVD commentary idea.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh dear, ita. I hope DVD commentary will provide a good distraction. Sweet dreams.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Hope you slept well, ita.

Oh! Just saw photos from China. So upsetting. The buildings just crumbled, it must have been terrifying.

Awful, isn't it. We did get an email from our CEO yesterday that our offices in Chengdu were damaged, but that no employees or their family members were injured. Seems kind of incredible.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The epicentre was (I think) over 60 km away from Chengdu, so it missed the brunt. But near the epicentre, a township of 10,000 lost about 75% of the population (current count), most of the other 25% are injured.
