Sometimes Falling Off the Planet Sounds Fine
So I was recently on a website, nothing special or important to me, just somewhere I landed to look up something, as often happens. On the right sidebar of this site is a quotes widget, kind of like mine except with more general, popular quotes and it refreshed like every two seconds — fast enough that you had to work to keep up with reading them.
Naturally this would be an exercise my brain (especially in its current depleted state — more on that in a minute) would enjoy, so I stared at the thing for a minute, watching the wisdom go by.
Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
A room without books is like a body without a soul.
You know you're in love when you don't want to sleep because finally, reality is better than your dreams.
He's like a drug to you, Bella.
…Wait, what?
What's that simple sentence doing there? It's a plain, ineloquent statement made to some character, with no context, no profundity, and no poetry. Why is that quotable?
My eyes latch onto it long enough to get the name.
…Oh god. Really? Really?
Some days it's an actual, difficult chore to maintain any faith in humanity.
(In other news, I'm working pretty much constantly for a month, so please forgive me falling off the planet. Things changed radically again, now I'm moving again, and I really need the money so I took on a ton of work to help pay for it. It's going to be a crazy few months! But good crazy, progress-crazy. At the moment I don't even have a sleep-schedule, and "stimulants" are my new middle name, so I apologize to all the sleepers for whom I'm being a horrible example right now; I assure you it's temporary, and I'm very excited about finding out where I can fit polyphasic sleep in my new lifestyle, once I settle into it. Thank you all for your support and comments and questions and attention, and I will post again when I can. –I know I said weekends, but now I'm working the next three or four, so unfortunately now I'm no longer sure. But I will absolutely try. Thank you again!!)
