Up! I'm Up!

I set my clock for 7:30 so that I have an hour or so of cushion-time before I really oh truly need to get up for class.

Today, I turned my alarm off and went back to bed until about twenty minutes before my class started. It took me several moments of staring at the time for that to really register with me. Then I looked out the window, guessed at what the weather would be like, and burrowed back under my covers.

Ten minutes later, the fire alarm went off.

Apparently God wanted me to get up after all.

Now it would have taken direct divine intervention at that point to actually make me go to class, since I'd already negotiated with myself for more sleepy-time. So Beachy¹ and I spent an enjoyable hour at the library instead.

1. Beachcomber is my bright blue iPod Nano, and he is small and lovely. And no, M-chan, his bright pink carrying case is not named Elita One.

It's not God, it's Professor Xavier. Quoth the Silver Age - "They can walk in the sunshine, feel the wind striking their faces, while I am confined to this wheelchair - a hopeless cripple!" And that means he's going to damn well _force_ you to go outside to feel the wind _for_ him, whether you like it or not.

(He could just wheel his wheelchair outside, but the X-Men clamped it for a laugh.)
