So, the fire alarm went off again. That's the upteenth time. Its mad. Its very nearly every night.

And I'm worried I'm going to become desensitised to the whole fiasco.

I'm probably going to end up sitting at the kitchen table, which is on fire, sitting there going "Chuh.... not again".

I think fire drills are more of a hazard that a help. I mean, if it didn't happen all the time, we'd get scared fuckless. If someone had never heard a fire alram before, and some student has started a chip pan whilst microwaving some frozen peas, and its 2am and he's really drunk, and everyone is sleeping. He sets the alarm off, and everyone rolls out of bed going "Shit fuck what!? Run away!" and they get the fuck out of there.

It is disturbing to know that it is everyone's knowledge that a fire alarm noise is designed intentionally to make you not be able to tolerate it. Gardeners use sounds to stop cats shitting on the lawn. This alarm will do that and more. It will shift people who are stoned out, only because if they don't leave, they'll have a freak out. It will shift comatose drunks. The only thing it won't shift is two people going at it like rabbits.

God knows, science definitely can't possibly change that fact.
