"Hell, I'll kill a man in a fair fight... or if I think he's gonna start a fair fight, or if he bothers me, or if there's a woman, or if I'm gettin' paid - mostly only when I'm gettin' paid." - Jayne, Firefly

"I am like a being thrown from another planet on this dark terrestrial ball, an alien, a pilgrim among its possessors." - Thomas Carlyle

notes (favourites 2024)
  • agitated, stilted breathing; tightening chest
    • coupled with tingling numbness and burning of extremities - fingertips, toes, legs, hands.
  • general fatigue
  • cold causes aches in the bones, humidity improves the situation, the tropics are preferable
  • mental fatigue, dizziness, headaches/migraines
  • lack of motor control, muscle spasms, kinetic Turrets
  • persistent odor of chemical fumes, independent of location
  • intermittent sleep, chronic insomnia
  • rash that feels as though something is crawling on you
  • anxiety which causes fainting
  • persistent low-grade nausea
  • the brain ripples, it does not travel the interstate. a stimuli drops into the pool and emits sweeping radial projections across the hemispheres, and in a hyperstimulatory environment, it is, in effect, flooded, washing away any hope of linear coherency, all parts connected as through through meditation, but accordingly superlinguistic, internal sensations are inexpressible for their simultaneity. This connectedness is a higher level of awareness, perhaps, but it is also very lonely, because you are out of range of earthly transmissions as you float in the stratosphere, immersed in white noise. Perhaps only emotion and physical sensations can communicate from this place, but perhaps there is too much to communicate.
  • gradual un-sexing
  • fingers melting into flippers
  • lengthening ears
  • floppy feet
  • sense of being watched by 'a presence'
  • churning stomach, explosive bouts of indigestion
