Tired.

I had my morning coffee today. ...And my afternoon coffee.... and my six o'clock coffee.

I can hear my watch ticking, but I don't know where it is. It is a very loud watch. And it is older than I am. I had an alarm clock once... I mean a real alarm clock -- the kind with bells on the top that you see in cartoons. That was the loudest f--ing clock. It ticked so loud that I had to keep it in my closet underneath all of my socks at night because I couldn't sleep with it ticking. That, and when it went off it pretty much stopped my heart every morning. The danger of keeping it in the closet, though, was that sometimes a sock would get stuck in between the bells, and so the mallet in the middle couldn't move to ring them in the morning. I was late to school too many times because of it, so I had to buy a new alarm clock. It's the nicest alarm clock in the world. It's shaped like Hello Kitty, and it is so soft and so gentle... It's as if Hello Kitty is sitting next to my bed petting my cheek and whispering, "Okay, it's time to get up now, dear." I bought it online from Japan, so I had to learn how to use it by trial and error. All the buttons are labeled with characters.

I'm so done.
