Lately, I've been waking up early all the time. It's bizarre because I've always slept like a rock and never woke up unless someone came into my room and purposely roused me. Today was my first obligation-free day in a long time and I was looking forward to sleeping in. However, I woke up and got out of bed sometime before the sun was up. All I remember is walking towards the bathroom to get in the shower before looking at the clock and remembering that I didn't have to work. Then I went back to bed. Apparently, I was more out of it than I remembered because my dad said he saw the door leading from my hall into the garage open and shut as he was pulling into the garage (he gets home at 6:30 am when he's on midnights). Weird. Even weirder is what I accidentally found a minute ago. I went to Impiety's diary and clicked on the "wurg" link, then clicked on whatever link was on that page (there's only one) and it was a blog. And what did it detail? Well, there wasn't actually much detail, but the person just came to Clearlake a few days ago. Clearlake being right by where I live. You see, when people from this area go out of town, we don't identify ourselves as from a certain city or town, because no one has ever heard of any of them. We all say we're from "Lake County." It's just like one really spread-out city. There's Lakeport, which is like uptown, and Clearlake, which is like the hood, and a variety of intermediate areas. SOo, someone coming to Clearlake is just like a bizarre thing to happen across. Especially because I also happened to be in Clearlake (an executive trip to Wal Mart for work) the day this person arrived. I heard once that each of us is only six people away from knowing every other person in the world. That seems a bit extreme, but there is probably some truth in the idea. |
