Well, here I sit at my desk after fruitlessly trying to get to bed early for the first time in months. Why the sudden attempt? Some kind creature decided that I needed to get sick right before school started and right before the concert on Saturday. Mean. It's a stupid chest cold, the kind where I lose my appetite and get all dizzy and apparently where I also am unable to sleep. And so I remain the leper that I am, social leper, political leper, whatever. Sometimes it's a little depressing to be me.
