Metaphors lived in the Space of an Hour
metaphors lived in the space of an hour, for things I can not write about here any other way:
I still have the habit of walking into the living room and putting things down where the couch used to be. Every time the object falls to the floor I say “oh… right.” And I wonder how long it will take me, not seeing it, not having it there, to stop acting like it is.
When I took off my brace last night I decided to check out my foot. I rubbed it gently, wiggled it a little. I started to flex it and was immediately stopped by the shock of pain I felt. The words that came were, “It really is that fucked up.” The way things moved inside felt all wrong and twisted. And I have to believe what I already know to be true; it will not be better for a while.
I start my new job January 5th. Very exciting!
Maria‘s hair is so cool and pretty.
No one is getting anything for Christmas from me, with the exception of a few people. doh! Form letters all around.
Me (4:01:45 PM): eek the ground just shook
Them (4:02:08 PM): yeah?
Me (4:02:18 PM): yeah everybody just prairie dogged
Me (4:02:23 PM): “did you feel that?”
Turns out we had ourselves a little 4.5
I think in about 2 weeks you should be able to rid yourself of those phantom couch habits.
Bummer about the foot. :(
heheee
just so long as i don’t go to sit right? :)
...or left, for that matter. ;P
where’s megan? fire him!
Calvo...welcome to the unemployment line. You’re fired.
crap...I was gunning for tenure, too.
I didn’t feel the quake at all.
I’m new to this...how do these things work, can you only feel them at ground level?
I’m on the fifth floor and, while it’s possible that I’m just a tad oblivious, I felt nothing.
I am on the 4th floor and we all felt it and saw things move a little. The society has 4 underground levels. I’m thinking because we are so deeply rooted in the ground we were more sensitive.
Maria and some others I imd in DC didn’t feel it either.
