It'll hurt if I swallow, but hurt worse if I choke.

Why am I awake??

I fell asleep around 10:30 or so, woke up at 3 am to piss, and now I feel too uncomfortable to lie down and sleep. And I'm dehydrated, so I'm drinking lots of water, which will probably only cause me to wake up again in a couple hours to go to the bathroom again. It's a neverending cycle.

Last night/earlier this evening, we watched the final episode of Daria, which we didn't realize was the final episode until it was over. I think we were too shocked to enjoy the montage at the end. Frankly, I'm surprised MTV didn't drop it long ago, but I'm still sad there will be no more. Next time I shall pour a little liquor out for my dear friends of the Daria show.

I'm going to try to sleep again.

Don't let it get to the point where you piss blood. That's bad.

"I guess I can't be picky, because you know what they say about beggars."
"What, that they'll spend it all on booze?"

My head's just full of one-liners today.

A few additional updates I forgot to post about:

1) On Saturday evening at the Ball, I saw one of the women I had JUST posted about on Friday. Not Hanson, but the one who later got involved with her. I managed to avoid her, and actually on one occasion she walked right by me and made eye contact but no flash of recognition appeared. Of course, this didn't stop me from later nearly blowing my cover by knocking over an easel sign while attempting to hide behind it while waiting for her to leave the foyer. Hilarity would have ensued had I been a sitcom character.

2) I had a dream the night before last involving Jeffrey Dahmer. It was a bizarre time travel dream where I was back in undergrad, as was MelRo, but we were undergrad together and also dating. And Jeffrey Dahmer was a classmate. The dream involved us hanging out at his on-campus apartment and not putting the pieces together until halfway through the dream. Then we tried to figure out a way to discreetly get the hell out without being chopped up. We both rationalized that he probably hadn't started any murdering yet, since he was so young, but we didn't want to take any chances. MelRo's Law School Friend was also in the dream, and we actually left her behind in the house because she was in the bedroom with him, and we figured she was either dead or having sex with him. Either way we reasoned it would be a lost cause to try to intervene. Sorry, Law School Friend. Hopefully I'd be more noble in real-life and try a rescue mission.

3) I was pleased to learn in my reading last night that there aren't strict categorical imperatives when it comes to "right action" and regarding morality, according to budhha-dharma.

4) I'm currently on the hunt for the perfect next tattoo. I have some ideas, but none that fit right now.

5) I love VH1's Insomniac Music Theater, which I watched off and on last night, during my period of wakefulness (3 am to 6 am). But I hate that is switches to "Cardio Video" after 5 am. How cruel.

That's about it for now.
