Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

I will do half when I'm too tense to sleep and it just relaxes me enough but I don't feel impaired. 10mg, on the other hand will knock me on my ass. I haven't found that happy in-between yet.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I got a private tour of Hearst Castle today. I expected a crazy big, ostentatious place but I was not prepared for how mind blowingly much it is. Wow.

I also saw elephant seals. They are ginormous! And they sound like burps, farts, and bad plumbing.

Oops, double post. Spotty connection looked like it wasn't posting.

A private tour? That's pretty cool! Did you have a connection or were you the only one to show up or what?

Ate the second half of the cookie about an hour ago. Am in the midst of a book so will be awake a bit longer but...so far "maybe kinda makes me feel like my ears need to pop" is not anything that convinces me this is worth paying money for.

(Possibly I'm failing by being boring and reading a book home alone, a not super funny book? Maybe I should be watching a stupid movie. ...eh)

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

That sounds awesome, aurelia. I saw it when I was a kid and unfortunately came away with achievable life goals.

(Also, randomly, I had a dream last night that you and I were...detectives, maybe? We didn't have guns, that's for sure. But we drove around solving crimes. One involved a car overturned on the freeway with a dude standing on the car in a bear suit. No, really. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS.)

Was the dude in the bear suit played by Taye Diggs?

meara, Paul has the same issue. Which he solved with, umm, a pack of prerolls.

Which were much more effective for him, I gotta say.

(I tend to stick to the high CBD edibles for myself.)

I...don't know what prerolls are? Pre-rolled joints? I have never been a smoker, so the one time I tried to smoke pot, I basically just coughed a lot and hated the smell.

I got a private tour of Hearst Castle today.

I would love to see the backstage of a big house like that.

Well, boo. It's now been almost four hours since my first dose and two since my second. What a waste of $8 and an evening (I mean, I suppose I probably would've chilled at home with a book anyway, but I would've had a beer or two?)
