I decided today that I’m going to
spend every waking moment hanging out
for the next 29 days. Basically being
around people, whether in person or
online, for everything that I do, nonstop.
The idea was inspired by autofiction
writer Megan Boyle’s Liveblog, a book
that I’ve been enjoying the past few
days. Like Liveblog, this project is an
experiment in being observed and honesty.
I hope that it will also become an
experience of positivity and growth.

I woke up at 9am, browsed twitter in bed
for 20 minutes, washed my hair over the
tub with the shower head, and headed to
Dalida for my brunch shift. Hanging out
on the clock was no problem, it’s
basically what I’m being paid to do and
there were few moments where I wasn’t
talking to someone or at least being
observed by managers. I got off work
around 4pm and went straight home to
hang out with Zachary, who I found in bed
browsing twitter on their macbook. We went
outside to smoke a cigarette and after I’d
filled Zachary in on my plan, they offered to
let me accompany them on their walk to
buy some zynns. We set out for the gas
station on Arguello and Geary and talked
about autofiction. We talked about the
influence alt lit had on Zachary
experimenting with drugs in high school,
comparing their experience to that of
teenagers playing Modern Warfare 3 and
committing school shootings. We talked
about various other things I don’t
remember. Zachary bought three packs of
zynns and walking back we smoked another
cigarette which made me nauseous. I’d only
had about 5 hours of sleep before my
brunch shift and I was beginning to feel
helpless and without the energy or
motivation to determine my future. I let
Zachary know I was feeling nauseous and
tired and we agreed that I would need to
sleep at some point anyways and it would
be okay for me to take a nap. I woke up
two hours later and browsed twitter for 1
hour. I decided I like being alone and read
Liveblog in bed for about 3 hours.

One time I was hunched over carrying
some things and noelle was walking
alongside me standing all tall and we
started laughing because it was like
I was her henchman and then I started
laughing extra more because I was her
henchman and it was my duty to curry
favor with her

One of my favorite parts of serving
is the challenge of successfully lying to
customers when answering their questions
about the dishes. For example, the other
day I told a customer they were eating cow
brains but later I looked it up on my phone
and it was pancreas. For those moments, in
a way, I'm controlling the guests' reality.
This is good.

moral failings dressed in lazy fatigues,
fortified myths built around our enemies,
partners resting in tunnels beneath their sheets,
everyone can do it, but no one does.
go ahead as we work to protect our borders,
clown societies, corporate circuses, airport-security,
pious fighters' knowledge turning them against their families,
it’s in the air, or it’s in the trees.

The other day playing basketball alone, I
fell and rolled my foot, producing a loud
cracking noise. Dropping to the court on my
back, I felt pirouetting throbs and pangs
down my ankle. After a minute or two, the
noon sun heat joined with the disturbing
worry I’d splintered bones or distorted
tissue, made me feel like I was going to
throw up. I moved my body under the
partial shade of the acrylic backboard,
deciding not to think about my ankle.
Eventually the pain subsided enough for my
foot to carry the weight necessary to limp.
Light headed, I grabbed my bag and
hobbled the four blocks home.

You wake up, exhausted. Feeling thin and
weak. It’s 1am and you must go to work.
You crawl out of the mattress and begin
your commute up a long smooth leg.
Scuttling at a regular pace you think about
your family. Not more than 10 days ago you
were a third stage nymph, laying low in
harborage with your kinsfolk. Although you
were born in Japan, today you find yourself
on the leg of a tourist in Sanford, Florida,
just under 28 miles outside Orlando! You
bite down into ankle, feeling wistful as your
abdomen expands.
