Now here we have an excellent story that details the odd ways of my mind. You see, I've got this tradition going on. As of last year, that is. The day before school, my body decides 'oh, we aren't gonna fall asleep today, because it's oh so entertaining to see what she thinks of when she gets real tired!' So i end up lying awake in my bed for hours and hours and hours. Last night was a particularly interesting night. I attempted to go to sleep at around 9:30. So i'm lying there awake, thinking 'oh tomorrow will be fun. i better not think of it though, otherwise i won't be able to sleep'. So after awhile i started feeling really drowzy, and in the back of my mind i was thinking secretly 'ooh success! i'm not gonna stay up late tonight!' but it's quite impossible to keep a secret from your own mind. So of course, i didn't actually end up falling asleep. So i thought "oh i'll listen to some music, that makes me tired sometimes" so i listened to some Lily Allen (latest obsession and all that.) and then i was feeling tired, so i turned off the music and thought, well, that's that and now i can sleep. But of course i couldn't. So i'm lying awake for awhile and i'm thinking "hm, i'm kinda hungry." so i go into the kitchen and find what my heart desired, which happened to be these little cheese cubes. Seriously, they're delicious. And also i got some sour cream n onion pringles. Now, at this time it was probably, oh midnight i'd say. not like i'd been up THAT long yet. I go back into my room and decide, hey, why not read. Reading makes me tired sometimes. So i got out the fourth bloody jack book and dived right on into it. by about one i'm feeling tired again so i put away the book and i'm thinking i'm actually gonna fall asleep this time. but nooo. So i end up lying awake for awhile longer. probably another fourty five minutes. Then i decide that i'd really like some blueberry yogurt, because my stomache's still growling and it won't shut up, gosh darn it. So i go into the kitchen and get some yogurt. and it's delicious, as predicted. Then i go back to my room and i read some more. then i decide, okay, i am GOING TO FALL ASLEEP. I MEAN IT! so. I'm lying awake thinking What will make me fall asleep? and you know how people say "oh i count sheep and blah blah blah" and it's supposed to work. So i'm thinking, ah what the hell. bring on the sheep. So in my mind it starts out with these really puffy sheep jumping over a fence. The first ten or so are doing just fine and keep on jumping. Then one of them doesn't quite make it, and it falls on the fence and it's just hanging there, and it's kinda funny because these sheep looked really fat, but i guess it was all fluff because it sunk down in it's fluff and it looks like it's almost cut in half, but it's not. It's just all the fluff. So the other sheep keep jumping over the sheep, and over the fence. And then one of those sheep was a ninja, apparently, because it flipped in the air over the fence. and then things went all downhill from there. Those sheep were cartweeling and backflipping and it looked like they were having a grand old time. And i was kind of entertained too. But then another sheep missed it's mark, and it's flip failed, and it just fell right after the fence and it just flopped there. So there's this puffy sheep just lying there dead like, but i dont' think they were really dead. So then another sheep jumps the fence, trips on the not-quite-dead sheep, and falls right next to him. And they keep going like that, so there's this row of not-quite-dead sheep just sitting there. and the other sheep and up rolling down the row. And then a cliff comes outta nowhere. No idea where it came from. it just DID. So the sheep start rolling down the line and off of the cliff and there's so many of them rolling off of the cliff that they stack up really high, so there's like a whole stack of sheep that have fallen off of the cliff, and they just keep on falling and i'm thinking Dear lord, i'm losing it. So i stop counting the sheep. I made it to 107, if you're wondering. Then i just kinda sit there in bed for awhile, go back to the kitchen to have a little bit of italian soda, because i was getting thirsty. And yeah, i know soda doesnt help thirst, but i was craving it. And then eventually sometime between 3 and 4 i fell asleep. and i woke back up at 5 30. and i never bothered even trying going back to sleep after that cause it was useless. Then i went to school, which wasn't as fantastic as i'd hoped. Maybe i'll like it once the drama stuff kicks in again. Anyways, that concludes my night and day. I'm gonna go now
