I can't sleep!!!

I went to visit my uncle earlier tonight - the one with colon cancer. My aunt had said he was depressed and nobody has been visiting him, so I sat and talked to him for about two hours. I felt so sad when I left - it was like a wave of depression swept over me. I can remember a show where a character had this power to suck an illness or disease from another person - but then it would overcome him unless he transferred it to another person (something like that). The point is I felt like I had siphoned some of my uncle's sadness or maybe I'm just a nut?

Afterward, I went to a poetry reading/author thing at the university, but I guess I'm just not a poetry person. Some of the stuff he read was good/interesting, but I've never gotten into reading much of it. I wandered around campus when it was over, the fresh air was good for me. I was going to invite you to the reading, but you seemed busy and I didn't think you liked poetry much ... then again, I wasn't sure if I should be inviting you anywhere.

Oh well, I guess I'll go read to invite sleepiness.
