synaesthesia

made a cup of strong coffee and poured it in my sumo wrestler tea mug. en route to school: drove to mcdownalds: purchased a one dollar sausage biscuit. asked the woman at the register for creamer. she was genuinely taken aback: didn't buy coffee, is asking for creamer. what's going on. i may have ruined her day.

absent-mindedly carried the mug with me into class. after the fact, i felt it separated me further from my Majority Middle American Classmates of Varying Ethnic Backgrounds. who drink their coffee from paper cups. and Me, who would normally be drinking from a paper cup. look at us, we come from all parts of the world and due to cultural osmosis (/depletion) the American/rush-rush environment assimilates us into one being that drinks from an endless paper cup. this is not a criticism.

in class: synaesthesia is when people cross their senses: see music, taste what they touch. i want to invent a drug that induces temporary synaesthesia. then i could be drinking coffee and secretly listening to music, not thinking about paper cups and stuff.

7:24 am friday the day after thursday an always good day

my tongue is stilled burned from a latte two days ago, my bottom lip recovering from a mild bee sting. my face is sore because i slept on my stomach without moving all night. my stomach is empty im tired of filling it everday with things that probably arent good for me but i like the freedom of it.
my coffee maker is still not cleaned and my milk will expire in 9 days.
this hum outside is so noisey with planes landing and highway swooshing and drilling. my furnance constantly hissing too but its not bad.
my roomate is asleep and her alarm parade has not started yet.
and its chilly in the room
(roomates alarm has started)
but i have 2 blankets.
what i'd like to do now is lay straight on my backk wrapped and tucked in these blakets but thats for another day
