character.

Character, then, isn’t what we think it is or, rather, what we want it to be. It isn’t a stable, easily identifiable set of closely related traits, and it only seems that way because of a glitch in the way our brains are organized. Character is more like a bundle of habits and tendencies and interests, loosely bound together and dependent, at certain times, on circumstance and context.
— from "The Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell

this room...

only planned on blogging once tonight, but this room is so quiet that it's impossible to sleep. I can hear every thought in my head. I can hear every click on my phone, & my phone is on silent. 

 

thought I'd be used to my new spot in oakland by now, but... it's been 3 weeks and I'm still restless. and now I think I'm hearing things. I swear someone just tapped on the window. fuck man, I'm trippin.
