We'll Never Sleep (An After-Midnight Thread)

Now to change the subject...

I really, really love "Phineas and Ferb."

(Also I like Heather's new icon.)

It's midnight already?! Augh. I have a hunch I won't be going to bed anytime soon, either. I've have a remarkable amount of energy this evening. I sat on my porch and worked on a new story idea for a couple of hours. Now I'm chilling on the couch listening to Mumford and Sons, and I'm thinking it's about time for a midnight snack, and then maybe I'll read for a while...
...Yeah, work is going to be difficult tomorrow.

A store near my place is going out of business, and I made some very important purchases there today, including a Slinky. I'm quite excited about that.

Edited to add:

I'm back! I think I need to cut it out with the long naps on Sunday afternoons. I end up staying up waaayyy too late, and then Mondays end up being like torture.

12:30 and I'm wide awake. Oh dear. I do work late on Mondays, so I suppose it's good that this usually happens to me on Sunday nights. I think it's partly a denial that the weekend is over. The huge burrito and chocolate bar that I had for dinner aren't helping either. Lately I have been observing that I sleep better and have an overall more cheerful outlook on life when I eat well. But those damn burritos, friend dough balls, chocolate carmel bars and greek french fries are just so tempting. Yes, those are all things I consumed this weekend. Don't judge me.

Apparantly I'm the only night owl on rknet lately. I just got home from a Hanson concert, and I'm wide awake. Oh Hanson...How I love you...so very, very, very, VERY much. That's pretty much all I have to say right now - that, and after 15 long years of dreaming, I finally got to meet them...well, I KINDA met Taylor a few years ago, got his autograph at least. But this time I got to shake hands and get a picture with them...but there were like 10 other people in the picture...lame...anyways, I am rambling, because being around Taylor Hanson for so many hours straight has fried my brain a little...pretty much in love with him, still.

On the one hand, I kind of hate winter, and my bedroom at my parents' is the coldest room in the house. On the other, the colder weather means I can start wearing my coziest, unsexiest nightgowns and sleeping with my heating pad.

Bring it on, Chicago.

You guys are nuts. As soon as daily highs are below freezing, I'm in a perpetually foul mood and just marking time until spring rolls around. Winter can fuck off.

Apparently I added "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" to my Netflix queue at one point (don't remember doing so, but sometimes I go through spurts of adding a bunch of random shit Netflix thinks I might like). It somehow crept its way to the top without me noticing, so I watched it tonight. Very...odd movie. I expected it to be odd in a good way, but I'm pretty sure it was mostly just odd in an odd way. I think I would have been okay with it aside from Hedwig's singing voice being god awful...and singing voices are kind of important in musicals.

Anyway, the point of the story is that it is now after midnight and I'm still awake. Eck, got to try to get some sleep so I can function tomorrow.

PS: The lyrics in the movie were awful as well.

PPS: Goodnight.

Saw a longer video about this on Facebook, courtesy of Heather (not our Heather, the old Heather -- IHeartJenny -- for those who remember her).

Open Youtube Page

This looks like it'll be speaking to so many ways in which I identify myself: a television/media junkie/scholar, a feminist, an actress, a writer, and even just a young woman of debatable attractiveness. I'm psyched. Gotta find a screening I can go to.

I demand to know why this topic has been neglected for so long. I am bringing it back from the dead. Technically it is only 11:40 right now, but I'm living life on the edge and posting here anyway. I have been all emotional tonight because my best friend is officially gone, and I watched I heart Huckabees, then I read some old journals. All three of those, separately and combined, made me emotional. I had this really weird twilight zone moment where I put on a song I haven't listened to in like 5 years (In Other Words by Ben Kweller) tonight, and then in a journal entry I was reading from like 2004 I quoted that song plus talked about how daylight savings time was fucking with me. It was really weird.
Anyways, doubt I'll be able to sleep tonight. Maybe I'll see if there are any cooking shows on TV.
Also didn't sleep much the past 3 nights at all...I think it's starting to get to me, I'm feeling a little delirious.

This should maybe go under dreams, because I might have been sleepwalking!

Edit: after writing this it seemed a lot more bizarre when it happened than it does now.

I'm seeing this weird band at a late night venue in SF tonight. But last night I suddenly wake up in the dark and panic that I need to get to the show. I'm trying to get dressed and am cold and sleepy and just think, 'no way I'm making it up to the city, it wouldn't be safe'.

So I go through a long back-and-forth about whether I'm really blowing off the show or trying to get going. I pretty quickly give up and get back in bed. Laying there, I know I made the right decision, but can't stop thinking about it.

I turn on the radio to hear the time and it is 2:30. So instead of figuring out that I was a day off, I start thinking I had entirely missed it . It wasn't until about a half an hour later that it finally occured to me that it was the next night.

Now I have paranoia about how it will go with me not even arriving until 11 tonight. Bees

So last night at like 1AM I was awoken by the sound of my neighbors having sex. Puke

This would be bad enough if they were random strangers. But the girl is a friend of mine, who I met through my boyfriend, who used to be friends with her and her (now ex) husband. Now she lives with her new boyfriend. the whole thing is just weird, and i was sleeping peacefully and woke up to that. ick.

Haven't posted here in forever. Still come check it out pretty regularly though. Currently avoiding doing hw -- so much shit to do -- so I thought I'd waste time with you all. Hope you are having a more productive night than I am!
