Fact Of The Day

"On this day in 1305 William Wallace was executed in London. Wallace was charged with treason for taking up arms against the English occupation of Scotland. His death fuelled the Scots' drive for independence under Robert The Bruce."
And one other thing; if you ever hear a very loud alarm around noon on Mondays coming from the direction of the refineries, it's probably AEF's plant alarm. They test it every Monday at noon. Just thought I'd mention that cuz whever I hear a refinery alarm I totally freak out and lock myself in the house and close all the windows to stop myself from dying of toxic fumes. Although, sometimes it happens really early in the morning which is especiall freaky. Which reminds me of the time that there was such a loud engine noise at like 6 in the morning that I seriously thought a jet was crashing nearby. I could picture it...it had to crash into the 'swamp' where there were no innocent bystanders of course. But it was still freakish. But then, I also imagine planes crashing into my house. And people coming into the house and shooting everyone. Don't even roll your eyes at me, I have no control over the way my brain works...I imagine so many things happening. Always the worst case scenario though, so when that doesn't happen it's quite a relief. I think it's the leftovers of my fear of dying when I was a child. And everyone else dying. It's very hard to go to sleep when you're afraid you'll never wake up again. But that doesn't happen anymore, so s'all good. I'm sure someday someone I know wont wake up. It's so wierd. I mean, suddenly someone is just not there anymore. No wonder it's such a hard concept to explain to a child. I mean, I don't even really get it when I actually take the time to think about it. Anywho, I'm sure we've all had enough of deathly thoughts. Unfortunately, these are often the things I think about when left to ponder. It's either that or daydream. And daydreaming is fabulous. Speaking of dreams, I had an awesome dream last night. It surprises me that I even remember it considering I don't usually remember dreams when I have such a pitiful amount of sleep. Especially if it's a good dream...
