[i]

1:25pm I wake up to my roommate Emily’s annoying cell phone alarm.


IN MY DREAM: I’m with Emily in our room. We’re lying on the floor and talking about how bad of an idea it would be if we kissed or had sex because we live together. “Well…you need it,” she says. She gets on top of me and tries to kiss me. I try to avoid her lips by just nuzzling because I’m very unsure about all of it. Edwin is roaming around the house on the phone. One of his friends is there and I hear Edwin say, “Oh. You’re going to Italy?” Emily is concerned about someone popping in our room. I tell her, “When has anyone ever just barged in the room?” I notice a tattoo just below her left shoulder. It looks like a color photo. It’s of me wearing my brown striped shirt with the lightening bolt along with two other friends I used to know a few years ago. I thought it was strange but I didn’t make mention of it because I figured she didn’t want me to see it.


For breakfast: hot Oat Bran Cereal with Cinnamon and Blueberries along with Orange Juice. I also take Zinc and Vitamin E


I watch a little bit of The Arrival [1996].


I eat a Tuna Sandwich with Baked Lay’s Chips and Avocado.


I work at China Wok 4 to 8.


For dinner: DiGorno Pizza Supreme and Carrots.


I go to my mother’s friend Tammy’s house to retrieve a few more things to sell on Craigslist. She moved out and the house is vacant. While I’m taking apart the treadmill I stop and think about how empty the house is. No life. No presence. It’s a sad feeling.


I have a major headache.


Ambrotious (the cat) lies right beside my face and I listen to his motor run while I finish watching The Arrival.


My eyes feel heavy.


I brush and floss my teeth. Sleep.
