i only slept six hours last night and i didn't doze off at any time until, oh, like. now. um. and i was online, i know, when
wax_jism got on before work, but i didn't notice. how did that happen, i want to know? i wondered if i was having a reverse sleep-debt kind of thing, but it's caught up with me and i'm wilting now, at about the normal time! yay! tomorrow i will take a nap, or go to bed early. ::delicate yawn::
and make some icons, i think.
earlier tonight i was thinking about this great divide i feel between the old me and the me i know now. i'm not on speaking terms with the girl i was growing up. i like her, rather, but she's alien. if we met neither of us would have strong enough inclination, nor guts, to speak to the other, and i'd probably think her interesting and then dismiss the thought entirely, and she'd be intimidated by me in a peculiar way. i was thinking, too, about how painful the, shall i say, watershed? was. i fell over a cliff and lost consciousness and i'm now still in the process of slowly, slowly waking up at the bottom, with shreds of dream fleeing like tattered clouds from me. i'm grimy and sticky and muddy, with shards of the shattered shell of a little girl around me. and the name my parents gave me, the name everyone in RL calls me by, is painted all over the porcelain. >.< i think of myself as 'cim.' (
thelionforreal, when i told her this, was extremely surprised.)
surreality finally reaches a kind of watershed too. i feel like quiet music has been building towards a crescendo for a long, long time, and it's not there yet, and for a while it was too faint to make out but now i hear it, but i can't make out the theme. all these horrible coincidences, i mean, and good coincidences too, and life just going on in the midst of them. ordinary things are here--fruit flies on pieces of fruit, and newspapers lying crumpled on the floor, naked barbie dolls underfoot. in the face of so much surreality they're obscenely quotidian. but everything's a cycle, isn't it? and i'm at the horrific nadir where the frenzy of the surreal becomes the horribly commonplace.
i want to go read northrop frye. i want to write or analyze a novel. i've been dreaming for months and i want to wake up.
