Last night

10:00 Think to myself: I'll just stay up for another hour or so. I'm not tired at all!!

10:30 I'll get into bed and watch Arrested Development. Or maybe be a rebel and watch two.

11:00 Open book. Can't find place. Read three pages. Seems vaguely familiar.

11:03 Realize already read those three pages last night. Nothing more annoying than when you want to read and can't remember where you were, and read three pages and realize you already read it.

11:11 I'll watch more Arrested Development and knit. Yes, that's right: KNIT. I'm making a trendy, fashionable scarf. It's currently two inches long. Go me!!

11:37 Consider turning off the TV and going to bed. Have school tomorrow. Should be well-rested.

12:01 Or whatever.

12:15 Have now watched entire disc. Will either have to get out of bed to switch to the next disc or turn Arrested Development off.

12:16 Turn TV off. Still not feeling tired, so decide to read.

12:20 Finally find correct spot in book. Tell self will only read for 20 minutes.

1:01 Look at clock. Marvel at how time flies when you've got to get up in six hours and don't want to go to sleep.

1:02 Turn out light.

1:03 Yawn.

1:04 Try to play the ABC game with myself to get mind to settle down. Topic: Characters on television shows I watch.
A is for Ana Lucia
B is for Barbara Walters (she counts as a character, right? Surely that can't really be her personality!
C is for ...

1:05 Am stuck. And bored.

1:06 Abandon game.

1:07 Wonder if anyone has actually ever counted sheep.

1:08 Get up and turn heat down.

1:09 Decide while I'm up, might as well pick out clothes to wear for tomorrow.

1:32 Decide on brown cropped pants and short sleeved T-shirt if it is going to be nice; black pants, black boots, and sweater if it's going to be like I think it will be tomorrow

1:33 Check weather. Supposed to be 56 degrees and rainy. Reluctantly hang the cropped pants and short sleeved shirt back in the closet, knowing full well will pull them out again and wear them in the morning regardless of the weather.

1:36 Go back to bed.

1:38 Get out of bed to drink glass of water.

1:44 Decide must seriously concentrate on getting to sleep.

1:57 Have to pee. Bad. Damn water.

1:59 Do the math: if I fall asleep now, I can still get five hours of sleep.

2:18 Have to pee. Again. Damn water.

2:21 Figure as long as I'm up ...

2:22 Do some online research. Check all my favorite sites: tvguide.com, stephen colbert's site, jennifer crusie's site, meg cabot's site, imdb.com, sister's blog, read an article by Tom Hanks about his make-up artist, read an article about the Daytime Emmy results, veronica mars site, etc.

3:02 Have checked all the sites, and oddly, none have been updated since I last checked (about five hours previous)

3:03 Check own blog to see if it was magically updated by someone other than me.

3:04 Sadly, no.

3:05 Ponder what else I can research.

3:26 End up reading telepathic stories about identical twins. Freaky!!

3:27 Drink a mug of warm milk.

3:32 Begin to feel sleepy.

3:33 Go back to bed. If I fall asleep now, I can get three and a half hours of sleep.

3:45 If I fall asleep now, I can still get three hours of sleep.

3:54 If I fall asleep now, I can ...

still get three hours of sleep. Open eyes to look at clock. 6:54. DAMMIT!!!
