the rain is deadly. i have a paper or two to write tonight but the rain is stealing the words from me! just want to sleep, but can't, because the papers will not get written on their own. tommorow i have to set a date to get my wisdom teeth removed (brutal). i havent been on a date in so long. im writing an entry right now as a way to stall writing this paper, which i already have an extension on and i can't even do it with the extension. maybe because it's for civil right's class. an upside to this is that after the paper is finished, i can wander off to sleep tonight without the soothing sounds from my sound-machine because of the natural sounds of rain pouring down on the roof. whenever i hear scratching on the roof outside my room or the sounds of rain or thunder i always freak out and think that someone is looking at me through my window or trying to break into my house. a terrible thing happened-- a very close family to my family's house burned down in wayland. luckily the four kids and the dog and the parents got out but their house is gone. i dont even know what they are going to do. rent a house i guess? where do you start when such a big chunk of your life has been erased? i can't even imagine that happening. thank god they all made it out safely. maybe ill go write a paper about house-burning in the south, and how that doesn't relate at all to classism or malcolm x or the black panthers. balls.
