meemees

i think it's needless to say that i like to sleep. whenever, wherever, even with justin's snoring, sleep comes to me pretty easily. i have earplugs and an eyemask so i'm disturbed by next to nothing. the problem is waking up. today, at 6 am, the fire alarm goes off in the dorms. my roommate shakes me up perhaps a half an hour later (i don't know, i was sleeping!). the r.a. has already made her rounds waking people up and getting everyone out of the building. she doesn't make another round to make sure all the rooms are cleared out though. so after sleeping through the alarm, we make our way down the seven flights of stairs and by the time i reach the second floor, the alarm stops ringing. i never made it outside, not even out of the stairwell. good thing because i think it was cold outside.

"meemees"
blankets surround us,
arms and legs entwined like one.
morning never comes.

(justin calls sleeping "meemees." you know, when you sleep, you make the sound "meee meee.")
