Where do they go?

I know where the socks go. They're little and you miss them. Or you drop them.
I know where the bobby pins go. You drop them where you take them out. Or the fall out of you hair.
But, where do the hair ties go? You take them out of your hair and put them around your wrist. So, why is it that when you really need a hair tie you don't have any?
Where do they gooooooo?!

where is the void?

where is the mystical place where all of my bobby pins go?

you buy them in packs fo 60-80, no?

you use them, you set them down, and then they disappear.

today, i only have one.

in my whole apartment,

i could only find one.

freak. where do they go?

there's only one thing to blame.

i have a headache. it's there, throbbing on the side of my head. like a little tiny man with a little tiny pick axe has decided that there is nothing he'd like more than to get his little tiny self out of my head.

there is a reason. i know what it is.

it's not because there are only 5 weeks of classes left in the semester.
it's not because my portfolio's due in april.
it's not because i was in class for 6 hours today.
it's not because the testing center is charging me $25 dollars for a calculator i know i turned in.
it's not because i miss my family.
it's not because i want it to be spring time.
it's not because i need a job.
it's not because i need more sleep.
it's not because i have a mosquito bite on the side of my head that looks like a second face.
it's not because i hit myself in the head with both my racket and ball today in racquetball class.

no. all of these things that could be giving me a headache are true. all have caused me headaches in the past and probably will many times to come.

no. there's only one thing causing this blasted headache.
it's a bobby pin headache.
