Eek! My very first blog post. I'd like to start off by saying that I have something very important to share. It's a secret, one that I've never told anyone. I'm finally willing to come clean.
I am an insomniaholic.
In all seriousness, I've come to the conclusion that I am either: a) A vampire, b) Some other creature of the night, or c) Just a weirdo who gets some sick thrill out of staying up until 4:30 AM for no reason. 4:30, really? Is it really that late? Do I really have class at 10 in the morning? Is it really a class I am willing to sleep through for no good reason? (That's the only question I can easily answer - with a resounding YES, if you were wondering.)
Anyway, back to the point at hand. There are many good things about my condition. Let me count them all. (Please. I really enjoy simple math, and it makes me feel good about myself.)
1. I never complain about having forgotten my sunglasses.
2. There are rarely lines at the restaurants which are open this late.
3. I can compose this in peace, knowing that nothing/no one else is expecting my attention at five in the morning.
I must admit, though, that the perks are nearly overshadowed by the related downsides.
1. I spent a crap-ton of money on those dang sunglasses.
2. Those restaurants have made me fat.
3. It took me over thirty minutes to come up with this sentence precisely BECAUSE it is five in the morning.
In light of that last note, and in the interest of finishing before class begins, I'll start wrapping this up now. I leave you with the lyrics to a song I've always loved, one that fits the theme of my new online "home away from home."
Mama Cass Elliot - "Dream a Little Dream of Me"
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper, "I love you"
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me
Say "Nighty-night," and kiss me
Just hold me tight, and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone, blue as can be,
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading, but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger til dawn, dear
Just saying this...
Sweet dreams til sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries far behind you
But in your dreams, whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading, but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger til dawn, dear
Just saying this...
Sweet dreams til sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries far behind you
But in your dreams, whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
