i finally found someone else who heard the loud ass planes last night. i finally stopped the phone tag with kate and we talked a good 2 hours on the phone tonight. at around 2:30am last night, i started hearing a weird humming sound. so i open the window and realize it's coming from outside. i hear airplane noises. i'm almost positive they're airplanes. i used to live near this golf course and we always had helicopters fly over our house looking for escaped criminals at night. and i know it wasn't the same sound. anyway, the airplanes or whatever were flying LOUDLY for what had to be 45 minutes. i wanted to go outside and make sure they weren't dropping things, or crashing down, or if they were independent day style UFO's and covering my view of the sky. but i stayed in my room, with my window half open and listened to the rumbling, the humming. i was shocked no one woke up from the noise. but i'm the only fool who would think to stay up this late. i've been asking around to see if anyone else heard it, and until i had talked to kate no one had. kate was also as freaked out as i was by the sounds. now i know i'm not the only crazy lunatic. i like to say it's because i've lived through air raids and i feel like i'm living through them again. that i have a right to be a wimp. but i'm just another scared crazy with an excuse. my brother got his nose probed by a cotton swab or q-tip. he said it tickled and made him tear up and he had to wait in a long line to get it done. he walked by the mail room that is said to be contaminated now, this is why he asked to be nose probed. soon more americans are going to get their nose cleaned out. i just keep thinking of gattaca. your mate doesn't have anthrax. i keep wanting to show my brother funny things, but he won't look at them because he doesn't want to make light of the situation. i think he's just scared to laugh. shit, someone said something brilliant to me one time. i think it was "humor is the sword for the defeated fighter who has been backed into the corner." i totally fucked up the brilliant quote. and i wish i still had it. but maybe my brother doesn't want to be defeated. who knows. all i know is i'd be walking the streets in my red dress with snow stains if i didn't have humor. |
