sleep deprivation fuels random thoughts

you would think that a medical doctor would have the presence of mind to remember his commitments and arrive on time. or arrive at all. that said, apparently getting my body up at 5:00 this a.m. was all for naught. granted I got paid to sit around and wait for a couple hours, but I would have much rather spent that time snuggled in my flannel sheeted bed, enjoying my somewhat bizarre REM sleep. (not helped at all by my strange imagination from yesterday wondering, "What if the traffic lights were transformers and just up and started walking around?" I think it would be a cross between transformers and war of the worlds, but with eyes on every side, alternating between red, yellow and green, I would think to communicate the general mood of the being.

wouldn't that be fun? what if our eyes changed color to show what kind of mood we're in? that could be bad, because then you couldn't pretend to be calm when really you're frustrated and angry inside. would it be better to know how people are really feeling? I'm not sure. plus, it would probably be really creepy to have people walking around with bright, solid eyes.

I wish my eyes were green, by the way. I always thought that would be really pretty. or violet. but mostly green. with a slit like a dragon. have I mentioned I like dragons? I like dragons. do I have a dragon tattoo? the answer is 'not yet.'
