I am now conditioned in a way I never imagined I could be. From the depths of deep deaming my eyelids shot open and I reached directly for my clock (also, sometimes, a phone). It took me a couple directionless seconds to realize that clock read 8:25 and my alarm was not set to go off until 8:30. It has taken me weeks of this type of behavior to finally accept that this is what I am now. I am a human alarm clock. Always set for before 9.
My neighbor's alarm wasn't stopping, so I trespassed in the interest of sanity. My my, people live in such ugly, disordered rooms here. The only commonality, so far as I've seen, is bottles of liquor in various states of viability.
I had a dream last night that an evil white male in a very high building was experimenting with surgery to turn people into horses (or something else four-legged) by splitting their ass/hips in such a way that they could never again walk upright. I had just looked into the face of the man who had just woken up from the surgery and was discovering his fate, when my internal alarm went off and my eyelids forced me from the hospital premises into another ugly, disordered room. Pass the booze, I guess.
