On a more serious note

Posted on May 14, 2004 By admin 100 Comments on On a more serious note

I'm not sleeping well.

Again, last night, I woke up at 4:30, heart racing, because of nightmares. They're becoming a regular, yet unwanted, occurrence in my sleep. Last night was a doozie, influenced by the D&D quest I'm playing with the boys. I always only remember vague images when I wake up, but while I'm there, they're crisp, vivid and really disturbing. Last night's involved skulking around a very claustrophobic room, trying to go to the bathroom (why, I don't know). For reasons I can't fathom, old coworkers and old friends were there, barring the way. There there was the bit where PO was playing dentist on my back molars, and I woke up in a flash when the pain hit. Niiiiice. Aren't dreams normally supposed to be a reflection of things in your life? Your brain ordering thoughts from short term storage to long term memory? I'd really like to know what the heck is going on though, because I”m really tired of waking up at ungodly hours of the night and being so tense that my shoulders are always painful and sore. Bleh.

The only good dream I had, that I can still vaguely remember, was winning the lottery and meeting up with Tia in Scotland. Now considering that she lives in Vienna, I can't explain Scotland save to say that I've always wanted to go there. Prophetic dream? We'll find out in a few days, as I bought a 6/49 quick pick last night before going to see the boys.

Anyway, I actually need to get some work done today, so I might as well get cracking.

    Somebody already had salmonberry??? You mean there's somebody as weird as us?

    Actually, if you've read some of the comments people leave on my blog, you'll see there's a whole bunch of weirdos lurking in the shadows :) They're great folk though, so it's all good :P

    *groan* that almost deserves a pillow twack. And I'm sure there's no way I can prevent you two from introducing each other and saying things to make me blush, so I won't even try.

    Any time spent in the presence of eniran and her girl is interesting by default. I can't wait to see those two in that sort of shop ;)

    I was just trying to form a mental image. I hardly think I deserved a thwack.

    Besides, if you must thwack me… the least you could do is use something a bit harder than a pillow.. sheesh! I'm not as wussy as you, remember?

    Well, you've got the weekend to prepare her… although I don't think all the preparation in the world can prepare her for something like this, when we got into shooting each other for the benefits of hospitals, prisons, and women in uniform.

    Will you stop it with the bad german accent? You're making me think of Arte Johnson, the character from the old TV show Laugh-In, who used to hide behind a plant and mutter “veeerrry interestink, but schtupid”

    Nah, not really. But it'll be a good lithmus test to see if you can stand the level of insanity I usually live in.

    I'm not sure even I was prepared for that one…

Quote of the day

In the second scroll of Wen the Eternally Surprised a story is written concerning one day when the apprentice Clodpool, in a rebellious mood, approached Wen and spake thusly: "Master, what is the difference between a humanistic, monastic system of belief in which wisdom is sought by means of an apparently nonsensical system of questions and answers, and a lot of mystic gibberish made up on the spur of the moment?" Wen considered this for some time, and at last said: "A fish!" And Clodpool went away, satisfied.
--(Terry Pratchett, Thief of Time)
