Have you ever had the feeling that you were doing something in vain? If you haven’t and are interested in trying it, I have a suggestion. Would you be interested in taking Physics 2 for an entire month for six hours a day? You’ll learn aaaalll sorts of things! Including electromagnetic fields! You’ll learn how to calculate many many things, including how much energy is being exerted on a single particle! It’s great. I will use this EVERY single day in my architecture career. Because architecture is JUST like electrical engineering. Not.
So last night I was sleeping and I was woken up by a text message on my cell phone. It scared the beejeezuz out of me. I’m serious. I was just being a peaceful little Regner, minding my own dreams and then BAM!
~tingling sound~
This is my face at this point:
=*O
It was so freaking loud, I don’t understand it. Then I replied to it, fell asleep again and BAM! Again. I LOVE text messages, I promise you I do. But last night was scary for me. What? It was. You know what else can be scary? Alarm clocks. I think it’s a mixture of things, alarm clocks. I think it’s a combination of “I HATE waking up.” and dreading it mixed with the actual sound. I have come to the conclusion that there is just no pleasant alarm sound. Why? Because people hate waking up. It’s the truth. I don’t care if the alarm clock sounds like the magical twinkling of stars or of it sounds like an agonizing cat. Alarms. Aren’t. Cool.
I think that perhaps the only alarm sound that can be a bit more easy to deal with, is waking up with music. But then it’s just a mess and you have to be careful. Because you know what? Sometimes the actual music fuses together with your dream and you dream you’re playing the violin in front of your school church and people are delighted at your natural born talent, and then you don’t wake up. Because, hell, you don’t know you’re supposed to wake up. You’re thinking you’re playing the freaking violin in your school and all is right in the world. How are you supposed to know that Sarah McLachlan’s “Building A Mystery” is your alarm for the day?
Whatever. Wake up however you want to wake up. Truth is, most of us humans don’t like to wake up to crazy sounds. But you know what? Crazy sounds get the job done, I guess. The louder and more abrubt, the sooner you’ll find yourself at your feet. I guess for those of us who have things to do, this is a good thing. Sarah McLachlan invading my dreams again, simply won’t do it.
But if any of you feel like text messaging me or calling me in the middle of the night, I seriously don’t mind. It might scare me a little bit, I won’t lie, but psht. That’s a part of life. It actually helps life. Your heart starts pumping that blood faster and your circulation starts doing its job really really really well. All of a sudden your complexion is porcelain-like. So yeah, I guess call me and make me beautiful.
