    If you're anywhere near the north end of the strip, keep fcuking quiet for a wee while!

    The pain in my heart, I honestly don't know why it's there. It feels like sadness but I'm not sad, it's like heartache and it's weird because I can't figure it out. I ate a tub of caramel chew chew earlier though so it could be indigestion (but its not, it just feels like my heart got broked).

    Stretch your quads and hips.

    You are not likely to be having a heart attack though! :)

    All this Vegas talk reminds me, overhead a woman in a queue earlier saying to her friend 'apparently they're doing the Black Friday thing in America this year. Mad how things catch on'.
    Not too much going on in her head to keep her awake at night I suspect :D

    na, it's definitely an emotional pain. I'm not used to emotions and I suspect it's because I've been bottling some things up over the last week or so. It being Friday means I don't have to go to bed early so I'm just feeling things instead. It's like a lump in the throat kind of pain, only in the heart area. It's funny that's where we feel things. Sure a stretch might help anyway ;)

    I was going to make a bad joke here. But I won't.

    Feelings are fluid they change and flushing out the bad ones is good it makes room for the better ones.:)

    The voices, they're quite conflicting, I've got this one guy who keeps changing his mind on me, he might not be real.

    Then there is the leprechaun who keeps telling me to burn things, oh and the ****ing clown who wants to eat me.

    dammit, I need to put a name on this emotion. I'm going with mourning. Possibly grieving, although the latter sounds a bit harsh.

    That reminds me of a poem.
    The Tavern All day I think about it, then at night I say it. Where did I come from, and what am I supposed to be doing? I have no idea. My soul is from elsewhere, I'm sure of that, And I intend to end up there. This drunkenness began in some other tavern. When I get back around to that place, I'll be completely sober. Meanwhile, I'm like a bird from another continent, sitting in this aviary. The day is coming when I fly off, But who is it now in my ear who hears my voice? Who says words with my mouth? Who looks out with my eyes? What is the soul? I cannot stop asking. If I could taste one sip of an answer, I could break out of this prison for drunks. I didn't come here of my own accord, and I can't leave that way. Whoever brought me here will have to take me home. This poetry. I never know what I'm going to say. I don't plan it. When I'm outside the saying of it, I get very quiet and rarely speak at all. We have a huge barrel of wine, but no cups. That's fine with us. Every morning We glow and in the evening we glow again. They say there's no future for us. They're right. Which is fine with us. Jalāl ad-Dīn Rumi

    The alternative isn't worth thinking about.
    Sounds trite, but happy thoughts. Things for which you are grateful. Happy fuzzy think yourself to sleep. I have been known to make a list (insert embarrased emoticon here)
