#bedtime ramble

I think Tumblr just told me to STFU because every Ask box everywhere is gone

Even on blogs I know have asks open

Even on my own blog bdkebdj

Tumblr what did I do

What is love?

Baby don’t hurt me

Don’t hurt me

Please don’t hurt me

Bedtime, methinks.

Though that just means delving into another book, then slowly drift into the madness that is my subconscious. What will I see tonight? I can only speculate something to do with either the current circumstances with my family or one of the many fictional worlds I have either made up or become a part of in my head. I'm hoping the latter. Because maybe then, I won't wake up in three hours wishing I'd never slept. Though I will likely wish to not wake up, I will. I will face the bleak reality in front of me and I will persevere. All so that maybe in the future, I will not look to my fantasies as such a drastically preferable subconscious abyss.

"There are two kinds of people, those who like to sleep next to the wall, and those who like to sleep next to the people who push them off the bed." - Etgar Keret (Translated by Dayla Bilu)

Been reading "The Bus Driver Who Wanted to Be God" and other short stories written by Etger Keret. The above is an excerpt from this one short story Missing Kissinger. I am rather attached to all of the stories in one way or another, but for some reason the end of Missing Kissinger which is all about this man in a relationship whom is told by his lover that she doesn't believe he actually loves her it just stuck with me. He goes through this story being asked to prove it to her and I'm pretty sure the extremity behind asking for the heart of his mother is a metaphor (or not because some of the stories or obviously alternate universe, non-real life based) and yet it seems this man has to prove to those he cares for that he loves them. And he just seems astounded and more just off put that something that was supposed to be so simple got muddled and twisted into such a mess.

I started this because of the desire to read "Kneller's Happy Campers" which is what the movie Wristcutters: A Love Story is based off of. I wasn't disappointed, although in true film behavior somethings were altered and added or changed. But I can say I appreciate both movie and story as separate things. I highly suggest as a read. It's been keeping me busy on my commutes :3
