this must be one of those pressure headaches. i thought it was a too-far-into-dreamland headache (because i must've been--too far--since i know i was busy busy dreaming, but i can remember very little.. just a car) but i've had the coffee and a little more sleep, a shower, and i've been here for a few hours and my headache continues to eat the ibuprofen i feed it and laugh back at my menial attempts to keep it at bay.

i want to cut off the top of my head and let it out to bother someone else, but that is irrational and no one around here wants to clean up all that blood.
