More Insomnia
I was hoping that I might be able to not be a wild insomniac during the work week, but it looks like that just isn't in the cards for me tonight. My ipod is out of juice, and despite how tired I was when I was doing homework before bed, as soon as the lights are out and the room is quiet I just can't sleep. My brain goes crazy, thinking about everything there is to think about...all the work I have coming up and how I'm going to divide it so that it all gets done...getting myself a used bike so that I can sleep later in the morning and get lots of exercise riding to school, and how I'm going to decorate said bike if I end up getting one that's an ugly color...how the weeks are flying by so fast, and how I'm not sure I'm ready for this semester to suddenly be almost over...what I'm going to write my final papers on...when I'm going to get a new tattoo and whether I'll wear something at New Years that will show it off...whether riding a bike will make me fit and thin in time for New Years, or at least speed me along the way...angsty things, and nice things, and things that just don't need to be clogging my head right now when I should be sleeping. I wish I knew how to turn my brain off. Is this what it feels like for people who are diagnosed insomniacs? Or do I just have too much on my mind? I'm unsure.
In other news, I was introduced to an interesting website today, Craftster. Looks like fun, and I'm sure I'll get really into it when I have more free time and I'm not gearing up for presentations and final papers and junk like that. Maybe I'll even enter the monthly craft challenge thing, once they post a new challenge. I could always pretend I have time for crafts.... (when in reality, I've been crocheting the same scarf for something like a full month now, and haven't gotten even halfway done with the thing)
I guess that's all from the sleepless peanut gallery.... Tune in next week, same Danger time, same Danger station. Brownie points if you know what I'm quoting.

It's been happening to me, too, the inability to turn off my mind. Like last night, I went to bed at 2 after attempting to finish my paper, and expected to be able to fall asleep pretty quickly because I was tired. But no, 3 am rolls around and I'm still awake, my mind already jumping ahead to the next project. I don't understand how people can function when this happens to them chronically and they still have to get up early and go to work as usual.
You need a hug. I'm providing a bundle of virtual hugs to be sent you and unwrapped at times like this! They are completely renewable too!
Wow! Renewable hug bundles! That sounds almost like something that would come out of the Wonka factory.
