hello.

howdy doody. Remind me not to have naps in the afternoons

'evening. I'm tired right now but I sometimes get bursts of manic energy late at night. I've been cleaning / sorting my room for a few hours.

don't have naps in the afternoons!
i did that yesterday. missed summer winds because of it. dang.
today i almost did again. but i forced myself to get up and go to the cinema. which sucked too. but not as bad as napping my life away. :(

What did you watch?

borat. it was really disappointing, although when the credits rolled i realised i wasn't really in the mood for a comedy. i always thought comedies were my evergreen flavour! i wanted to watch something european and sombre. oh well. haha.

yeah i like spanish cinema alot. I'm divided on whether to see Borat...last movie I saw was Shortbus.

was it any good? i wanted to see volver or something. guess i just picked my mood all wrong.

Yeah it a pretty explicit movie, lots of live sex. Good for a perv in some respects I guess. Good story line and Yo La Tengo did the soundtrack.

hahaha. oh dear. i'm going on a friend date to see that i think. ooh la la...

No sleep till 5... great for brewing renewed disgust for the universe and everything in it. Negative waves, negative waves...

must of been the night for it, was at least 4 for me, ugh.

i got to sleep about 4. Of course i've been flat chat all day and I've run out of money for sleeping pills till wednesday. If I dont sleep tonight I will be nervous. Don't need a manic episode this time of year.

Morning folks. Just got up . I got to sleep about 11.30 but woke up with the cat smothering me. I've been tending to write in my live journal to give me something meaningful to do in the twilight hours. Really looking forward to getting some stilnox though.

I couldn't sleep to save myself last night, should have got up to chat to you freaks.

its a bitch, but hey suffering makes us appreciate happy times

the helpful chemist lady showed me valerian forte.

though i probably would've got by without it.

I don't think I could ever take something just to sleep...I'm really not that fond of sleep in any case.

yeah i've tried valerian, it relaxes me but doesn't make me sleep. I'll be right once I get some stilnox so I can reset my body clock. As long as it doesn't go longer than a couple of weeks, then i start hallucinating hehe.

yeah, its just more a relaxant then a sleeping thing, but it doesn't have the addiction problems that straight medical solutions have.

I don't have insomnia, but I am probably going to stay up all night because once again I'm determined to finish something off.

wasp, that actually sounds kinda fun. i love staying up when i want to. or need to. that's fine.

chewbacca, thanks. i might try to talk to a doc about it if it keeps going. i don't think that i am having any stress/anxiety in particular. my brain/body has long kept me awake through general over-thinking (it's just how my brain works) and it does tend to go through cycles - there are sometimes weeks when i sleep great... i wonder whether doing my phd is going to fuck with my head and sleep cycles though, as it means that i am thinking professionally, and it gets harder to turn my brain off... having said that, i often have my greatest breakthroughs at 4am or whatever time i am lying awake, so i also cannot be too mad at my body for being like this. it is both productive and counter productive in different measures. it's just frustrating, i guess.

Much empathy shines. Shit is brutal for me right now too.

I don't have insomnia, but I've been waking up so unbearably tired lately that something must be wrong with my sleep.

I usually like to finish 'em off doggy.

To be fair, it's been a long while since I've had sleep probs, so thankful for that. But fuck, brain, switch off!

meh

I got through overnight with half an hour done.

i should post this at 3am tomorrow but oh well now's a good as time as any.

Have you not slept at all?

not yet :(

it'll pass

If this was a work day I'd be sound asleep and not able to get up in time and probably late. Fuck. That said, I have slept, I just can't get back there. Do you have plans to go to a BBQ or invade some Aboriginals today?

no plans. I might sleep at some stage I tho :P

FFFUUUUUUUUUUU

time to read those discarded novels.

well i WAS asleep, but then one of the kids came into our bed and it woke me up. Getting sleepy again, might try and go back...

Arthurly has a baby goat! I am so jealous
