Six Degrees of Soreness

there is a major difference between 7 miles and 10 miles. i learned that lesson earlier today. i'll be in a bathtub of ice until monday, in case you need me.

the fire alarm bandit struck again on friday night. 1:35 in the morning, woken by the piercing shrieks of our alarm, forced to stand out in the cold and watch the sullen firemen trod into the complex to reset the system. i don't understand how people with such low maturity levels have managed to stay in school here. maybe i'm giving usc a little too much credit.

something weird happened last night while i was falling asleep. i was in that halfway state of drowsiness, just on the precipice of deep sleep, yet still vaguely aware of my surroundings. at that moment, i heard a sound that i can only describe as two bricks being slapped together in a stone hallway; almost a gunshot, but not quite as loud, yet with that cold, steely nuance of metal or stone striking stone. it seemed to start in that space in my head where the music seems to emanate from when i have headphones on, and then strangely seemed to effuse itself quickly down through my body and into my hands and feet, almost as if the sound was a wave of liquid tonality that rushed through my bloodstream. i'd like to stress at this point that i was not under the influence of any psychotropic substances. it was just such a strange experience to seemingly feel a sound, especially being that it was one that i believe was conceived within my own being.
