9/8/9, Part Deux
Friday, September 25, 2009 at 12:00PM Another excerpt from my little book:
This book is my Twitter account when I forget my damn phone. It might also be my Twitter account if my fucking house burns down--animals inside--because I didnt' turn off my stupid straightener. The stupid pink thing that melts brown holes in white Formica.
I hate that I've been forgetting everything lately: names, events, faces..."I think I saw you--". The paranoid hypochondriac in me imagines the worst...I have early onset Alzheimer's, a tumor, a rare disease. The kind of nasty illness that will cause people to remark about how brave I am. "What a survivor." And really, I'd still just be me. Kind of insecure, but grossly overconfident in my own mediocrity, living day to day like anyone else. I wouldn't suddenly be a "better" person...just someone who is a little pudgy, flat chested, and oh yeah, NOW I'M DYING.
Silly.
