Ah, nothing beats the thrill of sitting in your living room wondering if a piece of the high-rise...
... on the other side of the street won't smash into your windows.
In an attempt to match my inner storm, the weather here has taken a turn for the violent. The combination of both causes me to sleep deeply, with intense dreams that want to pull me back into their world for the rest of the day.
Last night, I dreamt of Thomas, my high-school crush. He had half-long hair and dressed as a woman one carnival Tuesday and man, he had good legs. He's bald now and has a son. In my dream though, he told me he was a teacher, and that he had shown his pupils old high-school photographs. They identified my straight-away as "the one who could always see right through him."
Tonight is the second night I shouldn't have spent here.
Anyone who has spent a few nights in a tent during a storm can tell you: The world doesn't care all that much if you live or die.
