my surroundings: beside my bed are, among many other less important things, a thermos of turkish black tea, a small spoon, a medium-sized tea cup, and a small cup filled halfway with sugar.
for a moment, a few very intense seconds, i contemplated actually pouring the tea into the sugar cup. in contrast to adding a scoop or two of sugar to some tea which i'd pour in the cup.
and i really considered doing it. i don't think it's the thought(s) itself that surprise(s) me, it's the fact that i consciously singled the event out in my thought stream and now can analyze it.
i know i spent at least a split second debating whether or not there was room enough for the tea and sufficiently hot enough tea for dissolving the sugar in the cup entirely into solution. could it be done?
i remembered then for another split second my AP chemistry teacher ms. hosseini, how wonderful of an instructor she was, and the chapters and chapters in our chemistry books devoted to acids bases polarity and all things in solution.
i think it was when i was contemplating 'will there be enough tea in the thermos to fill the sugar cup?' when the thought struck me that the only two things i'd immediately accomplish would be to spoil and probably liquefy my entire supply of sugar and to (provided there is enough tea remaining) answer my question from a second and a half ago.
and what was i going to do with a cup of 3:2 sugar:tea? probably not drink it and enjoy it knowing i'd think it to be too sweet, without diluting it some. so, again, is there even sufficient tea in the thermos to be considering dilution?
since then i've just been diping and licking my right index finger in the cup of sugar while typing out my thoughts remembered.
and actually, i can say now that i'm 100% sure if i poured the tea -- after a quick shake i've determined there is enough left in the thermos -- into the cup of sugar, the sugar would dissolve completely.
but i know i would still find it too sweet.
ahhhhhh, fuck.. the end.
