The fact that I'm awake right now is pretty ridiculous, considering the lack of sleep that came from this weekend. I don't want my body having a freak out after depriving it of it's favorite thing: hours and hours of shut eye. However, I feel like I can't sleep until I write something. Anything.
I watched Meerkat Manor this evening. One of the meerkats died from an infection. While he was cradling his little head in his palms, his partner stood diligently by his side. She knew what was coming. They made little crying noises, grieving what was inevitable. One of my roommates was doing her homework in the living room, unaware of the situation.
I made a trip to the hospital last night. Walking down the streets and making various phone calls under the fluorescent light was odd. Walking into the E.R., my emotions were all over the place, seeing the blood that covered my friend's collar, hair and neck. I rubbed some of it off and had crimson flecks all over my hand. Friendship is one of those intangible feelings...the lengths others go for their friends. As my friend and I walked to the hospital to retrieve our friend, we didn't think anything of it. I'm glad he's alright, but wow, this kid is really going to give us all an ulcer.
This trip to Austin is becoming a huge pain. I almost don't even want to go anymore, and I didn't want for it to get to that point. Money and bills and groceries are rough.
I don't think I'll ever be able to listen to Calexico without thinking about that incredibly early morning drive to Atlanta.
Time to sleep.

Allie,
Don't let money get in the way of a good time. It's the source of all problems. I'm in debt too right now, and I have a huge sum to pay back before I got to Europe with my sister this summer. Before then I have to buy at least 5-6 cards, and protective covering for my cameras. All that aside, I'm sure it's going to be the best time the two of us have ever had together.
