30 hours left: i feel like i’m either gonna have a heartattack or throwup, things must be going well

i have a paragraph and apparently some sort of heart condition.

why do i do this to myself?

i told myself i’d have the first draft done by five and then i have a few (ok one so far, but i am not above recruiting) first readers. so then i can fix the story again before class. now if i can just invent some scenes, a plot, and a point, i’ll be all set.

"I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you can't see from the center."

"What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured."
-- Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., November 11, 1922 – April 11, 2007 [+]

50 years of popular songs condensed into single sentences. My favorite: Frank Sinatra, "Strangers in the Night" -- I'm drunk and I want to do it with you. {via} [+]
