it doesn’t work. having a crazy scedule where you are up from 11 to 6 and sleep from 6 to 9 and then are up from 9 until 6 is insane. it creates ghosts in my head. I was hanging out at work yesterday morning - about 24hrs ago - and I thought I heard voices calling my name. I scurried off home. full of fear of zombies and demons. it ruled. I even took a cab. cuz I didn’t trust the train. place i…

while I was at home my dad gave me this weird japanese thing that shocks you. it claims that it is an “electronic nerve stimulus” and it made by the advance company. so we went and hooked it up to ourselves and shocked the hell out of each other. it was really fun getting three people in a row and setting the unit rather high. it …
