Wrong sort of title

I think I'm starting to get depressed now. It's this constant lack of sleep that's doing it. I've been taking Melatonin at 10pm but it only makes me drowsy enough to sleep for three hours and then I'm up again. Like clockwork. And my clock doesn't work, that's another thing. The little battery seems to have fallen out the back, so I'm afraid I'll oversleep (ha-ha-ha) in the morning. I'm supposed to go looking for new glasses frames with Shannon.

What I really need are new lenses. The left lens in my glasses is badly scratched. I have no idea why it's so much worse than the right one, but the difference is incredible. I have a little cloud of scratches that follows me wherever I go, directly in front of my left eye.

This morning my mother made me a peanut butter and banana sandwich on a toasted bagel for me to eat on the way to class. This is very unusual behavior for her. I think she might be worried about me.

You know that song that goes "You don't drink, don't smoke, what DO you do?" It's an idiotic song and I've always hated it. Now I keep hearing it at night, but the lyrics have changed to "You don't sleep, don't sleep, what DO you do?" It's also sped up substantially, like I've got an LP on the 45 setting. Like Alvin and the Chipmunks are sitting on my pillow and screaming it into my head.

Nobody ever names their kid Alvin anymore. I WONDER WHY.

Edit: I just ordered a $30 magazine from Magic Pony. It's 3:04 am. Make her stop.

Sadness and despair! Have you tried, em, fresh air? Fresh autumn air always makes me sleepy? This isn't helping, is it?

Perhaps the after effects of the canned coffee?

That song sounds horrid. It's enough to have insomnia, but you don't need chipmunks taunting you about it.

And...what is this magazine? Is it all about vinyl figures?

I already posted this comment the other day, but apparently blogger ate it.

Every night I had been having a delicious hot cocoa and every night I was having major problems sleeping...especially waking up a lot and then it occured to me that CHOCOLATE HAS CAFFEINE! And if you are eating solid chocolate, the effects would be delayed, thus waking you up in the wee hours.

Anyhow, just a thought.

I am here for you if me you need support (verses bossyboots advice).

I'm the worst. I feel SO BAD about being a moron on the phone. I'm sorry nernie!

Sachi - At first I thought it MIGHT be the after effects of the canned coffee, but it’s gone on for too long now. Even Mr. Brown doesn’t have that kind of staying power. And how can fresh autumn air make you sleepy? Unless you’re working really hard at being a lumberjack or something. And yes, the magazine is all about vinyl figures. At least I hope it is. For all I know, it could be about vinyl figures and hip hop, or vinyl figures and street racing. We shall see. I obviously bought it for the Mori Chack.

Kimi - I can't believe Blogger is eating comments from my site. It should pick on somebody popular. Like Orson Scott Card. And I haven't been imbibing any chocolate lately, but sleeplessness in exchange for delicious hot cocoa sounds like a good trade-off.

Narns - You weren't a moron on the phone! You were a very companionable nernie. I’m seeing you tomorrow evening, right?

Moron!

But yes, I'll head to your place after class, still. If that's ok.
