We can send it a virus

Third consecutive night with no sleep! No sleep! No sleep!

It's not that I haven't been sleeping at all. I've been sleeping from around 7:00am to 1:00pm. It's not conducive to good personal feelings, let me tell you. Last night I was the most depressed I've been since I was last Depressed, due, I'm sure, to the rampant chemical imbalances all up in my shit. I'm seriously considering going back on the sweet Ativan. If I kicked the habit once, I can do it again. Right?

Benefits of no sleep three times over: At exactly 4:36am there was a very small earthquake. I'm pretty sure. The bed jiggled in a peculiar fashion. I got up and googled earthquakes but I couldn't find the appropriate obsessive quake watching forum to verify my observations. I was desperate to alert the world. Like Jeff Goldblum in Independence Day, when his laptop tells him about aliens and he's like "Checkmate. Ah! Uh!" And he gets his saucy Jewish father to drive him to the White House on the wrong side of the road. I think? In any case, that's what I wanted to be doing with my 0.1 earthquake information. The big one is coming! I mean, we've known that for years, but now you should think about it the next time you're driving over a bridge or through a tunnel. I know I do!

What else... No sleep, yeah, and earthquakes, and I haven't had any caffeine since the tinned Japanese coffee incident on Wednesday afternoon, so that can't be blamed. I could do with some caffeine right now, actually. Some latte. Some serious latte with the foam and everything. Bless the foam. I want to curl up in the foam and go to sleep. That should happen.

I'm always feeling what seem like tiny earthquakes in my apartment, so often that I have to assume they're something else. The whole place rattles, though. The bed, and the cups on the nighstand, and everything.

Tiny earthquakes. Baby angels. Poor puppies.

Hmmm. This information chastens me. But my room has never been prone to jiggles before...

OOUDAS!

Marian said...

Nernie, when's a good day for me to come draw more?

And do you feel any better? Hopefully you didn't catch what I had, in terms of its duration.

xyqjpua!

Dude, it was probably a truck driving by? Or, the nerves driving by? In a slightly related note, when I stay up late, I start picking up the radio. I hear songs, then turn on the radio and that song is playing MID SONG. This has happened enough that it's not a coincidence. I HAVE CONDUSIVE POWERS OR SOMETHING...OF...THAT SORT.

wsxvjwkm.

I don't think it was a truck or a plane because I'd have heard it? I had the window open and there was no sound other than a slight rattling of the panes. It was either an earthquake or aliens deciding against abducting me at the last second. Which I could understand. I wouldn't blame them at all.

Hmmm. Good day for narnie drawings... Soon I hope. How about I find out when my oceanography midterm is taking place, and then I'll get back to you. I'd say tomorrow if tomorrow wasn't my day to write a thing for creative writing. Jitter jitter jitter.

I do feel a little better, sicky-wise. My throat hurts on and off but it isn't terrible. I'm really just crazy from the lack of sleep.

Sachi, the radio thing freaks me out. You should write in to Fortean Times with that shit. Fo reals.

And cnhyjj.

condusive?! Conductive.

Claire said...

Hey, you're right.

Claire said...

No wait, you aren't right. Conductive relates to electricity. Conducive means helpful or favorable.

S said...

Exactly. I am conductive.
