i can't #$%&! sleep !!!

... an antipodean rant

hello fellow ju bloggers who are presently going about your daily business. i just thought i would take a moment to inform you that i cannot sleep.

aaaaaaaaaaarrrghhhhhh. it's driving me demented. i'm so tired i could cry. it's 3.45am. nothing in my suburb (including my husband) has moved for the past 5 hours.

these country people, are creepy, dammit, with their whole early to bed early to rise palaver. the whole village is out like a light by 10.30pm. it's sinister. they're all so healthy. at least in the city i had some lone twinking lights, or the perennially-insomniac marco to turn to.

here i have a frog. a rather large, loud, busy and frankly bloody annoying frog who says 'reebit' through the bathroom wall vent as soon as i have forgotten he is there. i also have a flatulent dog determined to keep me company. brilliant. my life is so exciting i can hardly stand it.

you'd think i'd at least have bored myself to sleep by now wouldn't you ?. no such luck. and despite the fact that i have been awake for what feels like about a week, i am not even remotely tired. i am in fact now even further stupidly and uselessly inspired to go and look up the guinness world record for staying awake.

hey, maybe i've got a chance, right ?.


ew. life on planet miggy. a nice place for a holiday, but you'd never buy a house there ;)

When I was in school I had a mild case of insomnia, but I also found it to be the most creative period of my life so far. I used to write poetry every day, and I think this had to do with the fact that I could not shut my mind off, which is why I couldn't sleep very easily. Now that I am working I sleep like a baby because I have trained my brain to just shut off, but, of course, this is all at the expense of my creativity. I haven't written in a while and I feel completely drained of one single creative thought. Maybe you should start writing a story or poetry when you can't sleep.
