A Race

A small smile played on my lips as I pressed the pedal to the floor, aiming to catch up to my opponent racing off in the distance. 

It was only a matter of time. I was a master at speed and my opponent...well they had a fair shot at it I supposed.

But even with my slight hiccup with the start of our face, I remained confident that I would catch up to them before the race ended. 

I'd done it before.

I would easily do it again. 

-Inspiration from driving.

Brain: *working diligently on story*
Me: *suspicious stare*
Brain: What?
Me: *blinks* Nothing....just....
Brain: ???
Me: You're not going to try and distract me? You actually...want to see this story to the end?
Brain: Ye-es? Unless you want me to distract you with another idea, of course I can--
Me: NO! No. Carry on! I'm good. ^^;;
Brain: >.> *shrugs* *resumes diligently working on story* 

Me: Alright! Let's finish this story!
Brain: *distracted*
Me: >.> What?
Brain: NEW IDEA!!!! *sparkle sparkle* 
Me: But our current.
Brain: Gotta write it now!!! *zooms off* 
Me: *exhales* Whhyyyy?!

Never Forget

The skyline hasn't been the same.
It can't be the same.
Not after everything.
Yet, still. I want it to be the same. I want to return to the time before the skyline changed, and with it the world.
I exhale, turning back from the double spotlights in the sky.
Returning into the apartment we had bought together.
That we were supposed to be....together.
If only...if only the skyline hadn't changed. 

-Inspiration from 9/11

Ended up with another headache today. 
Mostly due to spending like four or so hours staring at Yu-gi-oh cards, shuffling through them.
But the hot dry heat that I'm not as used to, and the lack of food and water during that time period probably also influenced the pulsing ache that moved up behind my eyes.

As a bit of time lying down, some meds, and food & water definitely helped it to go away. Woot. 

Me: Huh, this story is going pretty well. 
Brain: You know what that means?
Me: ()_() Oh no.
Brain: Let's...COMPLICATE IT!
Me: *exhales* -_- how about no? How about we keep it simple.
Brain: Complicate!
Me: Simple!
Brain: Complicate!
Me: Simple!
Brain: *complicates story* 
*story sits half written forever*
Me: >.> *whispers* Simple. *finishes story* Ha! 
Brain: *pouts* *throws hands up in the air* I gueeess! 

It's probably the stress of a) being in a new place and b) having to deal with hotter temperatures than I'm used to.
But I ended up with an ache behind my eyes again.
The sort of ache of either I need to drink more water or I got the wrong amount of sleep.

I didn't end up taking any meds for it though.
A bit of rest, a slight massage, and some food seem to have helped it go away. So yay!
