After The Collage
*Sigh* Well last night sure was cool.
It was...pretty miserable I guess at the time...but I kind of look back fondly. I had to stay up late and finish this collage about a book I read for my English class. It was a very indepth collage: I not only had to represent the book, but I had to hook all my pictures into one of eight or nine literary elements. To make matters worse, I didn't know if I'd have a printer to print up the pictures. I had to hunt down what I needed (luckily I made a list) on Lil Doodoo's computer, which is newer and much faster than mine. Then I went through a lot, probably just because of my impatience, in order to e-mail the pics to myself so I could access them on MY computer, download them, and print them.
It all worked out in the end. I had some trouble with getting the mail to send without it being weighed down by the attachments, and my mom was mad becaue she had to get up early and I was messing up her sleep. Which, really, I don't delight in doing. then AOL kept kicking me off every two minutes, on the dot, as I tried frantically to download the pictures from my e-mail address.
But other than the initial frustration, heightened by my cold (which made me really tired), I enjoyed staying up late on a school night, laughing with Kouji about the feverish things that come out of one's mouth at 2 AM. Cutting out Chinese things and surrepticiously stealing glue out of Lil Doodoo's art drawer, whining about things in a comical fashion, and being too exhausted to worry about what I'd said. There was no sleep till half-past three, but while 6:30 came fast, I did feel refreshed by the rest.
If it helps me relax so much, maybe I should just stay up as long as I can. I certainly don't mind. I'm always looking for a good reason to stay awake.
And today was surprisingly coherent. I finished my geometry work, even tho I missed the first part of the lesson (*mumbles* stupid pep-rally schedual messin' up my bells and tardies...if they'd just keep things uniform...*mumblemumble*)
Not to say I'm not exhausted. I ate some food and now I'm feeling a bit more sluggish, but my desire to sleep is nonexistant. I wish I hadn't eaten because I'm in a wonderful situation these past few days: Due to the amount of sinus drainage I'e had to swallow, in order to keep it out of my lungs, my stomach is always full. Full of bile, but still full. Not necessarily healthy, but the mild hungry symptoms are still there. The best of which is that, since the body has no food in it, it isn't comfortable enough to sleep. However, since my stomach is full of snot, I don't feel emptily, painfully hungry. There's no health logic in this at all, but it helps me stay up late so what do I care? It's only for a day or so, because I'm not disciplined enough to make a choice and follow through with it on somthing like staying up or going ot bed early. I like to keep things spontaneous.
Ugh.
Hey, if you have Kazaa, go out and look up the AMV for Hubba Hubba Zoot Zoot. If you don't, your life is empty.
I accomplished things this week by:
Helping my yoga teacher repair a broken video tape
Helping more by being more pyrotechnically versed than my peers, and lighting the match in order to start the incense.
Singing well enough to get some sincere praise from Menger Sensei ^_^
I also wore these shoes that are fun to walk in.
Isn't it funny how my normal energy, duller-sounding now because of my lethargic mood, is balanced so closely to my depleted, sleep-deprived energy, enervated by my sunny disposition?
If that makes any sense. Whee!
