The time is 15.06 on Wednesday 14th March 2012. It is Origami Day. Seems like a perfect time for 66) Make origami on my list. Yet I thought I was going to post this list in order...No, it seems not. I am creating a list. This is why I am posting. I have 83 things on my list so far. It began with a question that appeared in my mind a few weeks ago: How am I going to kill time while I wait? Even I don't fully understand what the context of this question was.
And then, a few days later, Frank came along. He merely was an imaginary character I created in my head, same as all the rest I have ever created. Soon to fly away with the rest. And yet, he stayed. I found him when I came home the next day. Hanging about in the closet. This was a Tuesday, and yet his presence was around me often. And so, I tried conversing with him on Wednesday. I felt so pointless at the time, had no clue with what all the mess swimming inside my skull. I talked to a friend about it on an eve following, and speaking about him I could literally feel his body rise and fall with his breathing under my bed.
Only on Friday did I realize I was sleep-deprived. After coming home I had a two-hour nap on my parents' quilt covers, shattered from the late nights and work stress following me as I went throughout the week. So, in the end, basically I was hallucinating this guy. But even though I've had my lack of slumber sorted out, Frank is still here. Together we have come up with a way to work with each other, calling it the 'Operation'. So it starts, with a list.
Please contribute any ideas I could add to my list, children of the world. Otherwise I'll have to invent more imaginary friends to do it for me.
