he: hello. how are you?

me: fine, thanks for asking.

we ask each other how we are - but do we really care? i insist that i am doing fine, even when my boots are on fire and my arms are being eaten off by crocodiles. i dont really tell anybody how i feel - and then i wonder why no one understands me! ha. for quite a while now, i've been suppressing a powerful emotion. but its getting stronger everyday! i have to examine it, confront it, understand it, deal with it and act out the drama its urging me to play a part in.
