why do I keep counting?
My body has this cool new trick it does. It wakes up at 3:30 am and refuses to go back to sleep until dawn, my mind almost frantic in its sleepless, wandering thought. This leaves me with dark circles under my eyes that make me look older and mysterious.
For months now Ali and I have been looking forward to tomorrow night's HP book 7 release. We planned to have a nice, long dinner someplace special, catch a late-ish showing of a fun movie and then head over to Barnes and Noble for the midnight sale of the book. Yesterday, after a long day of work and many nights of my body's new sleeplessness, I mentioned the approaching night of fun and Ali said "oh, no, I can't. It's movie night at the dojang. I have to be there til 10:30, remember?" And I didn't remember. So I burst into tears. This made me look younger and not mysterious.
I might take Mom out for a pedicure and a movie tonight. Really I need to get lots of work done tonight but I'm uninspired.
I feel so badly for people when they force a smile, or fake a laugh.
