Instead, as I wake, it reminds me of my tumbling stomach and the basic human need for food. I want to go tear out the throat of a rabbit and drink its life like an angsty neo-sapien. That I&#8217;m going to be paid to hit on girls in front of a camera isn&#8217;t really impacting. My hair is 80&#8217;s rock star huge and I&#8217;m trying to care enough to debate make-up. <i>Which begs my asking if I even have any that&#8217;s appropriate. It&#8217;s unlikely.<\/i> There&#8217;s tiny spots of blood crusted in my hair, which tell me I was wounded at some random point last night, <i>there must be a cut somewhere<\/i>, the company I was expecting for part way has abandoned me, <i>I suspect that as an adult, I should get used to hit and run<\/i>, and I&#8217;ve yet to have a proper meal in two days.

I&#8217;m going to blame emotional instability. It&#8217;s rare but when it hits, oh my stars and garters, does it pull deep. &#8220;The scary thing about you is that you mean to do all you&#8217;re doing.&#8221; I&#8217;m still not doing well. The brain is loathing all that hurt piling up. My heart isn&#8217;t as sturdy as I&#8217;m good at making it be. The damned world has been throwing me bones with splinters in. I don&#8217;t ask for anything fair, I ask there to be balance and redress. I ask that we try some before we refuse to buy on the basis of cold winter nights. It&#8217;s been a month since I was kept up at night by anyone interesting, I&#8217;m obviously failing at being young again. The youngest centennial, that isn&#8217;t me. I sit on the curb after getting out of the cab and speak words alone into warm early morning. <i>Why is there nobody here?
