11/14/2005: "Rantings of an insomniac"

Currently Feeling: I just want to sleep

I just want to sleep. Is that seriously too much to ask? I even went to sleep early tonight, like a good little boy should, and then spent the next few hours lying in bed, constantly checking the clock and staring at the insides of my eyelids. I had such grand plans, too! Go to bed early, wake up early, get my homework and reading done before school (instead of in the library 30 minutes before class starts, as I usually do) before heading off to school in a more awakened state, instead of the half-awake stupor I usually find myself in on the way to the bus stop.

I'm not sure when I last wrote and I'm not really in the best state to summarize what's been going on as of late (nothing too eventful, anyway), so I'll probably just leave it at this. Make another go at the whole 'sleep' thing and see what happens. I'll likely set my alarm for later and just do the same thing I usually do. Might as well try to catch as much sleep as I can, if it's possible.

Will be going to WA sometime over Winter break to visit family, so I'll be gone for about a week or so. No dates or anything set yet, but I should have those by early this week (ideally).

Can't think of anything else to say, so I'll just leave it here and write later.

Oh, I scanned in the newspaper article of me in uniform. I went to school dressed up for Halloween day and had my picture taken for the school newspaper. Kinda interesting. I wasn't able to get any other photo, so this is the best I have for now. Nothing too interesting, but figured I'd upload it. Click "more.." to view the image.

No, no.. I'm not smiling. But this is military bearing here, so you don't smile (I have an excuse for not smiling for once.. yay!). I was going to edit it DoD/Pentagon-style, with big, black lines through information (all stuff that can be readily found out about me anyway), but it's more fun to photoshop it. Besides, I think it looks better/less distracting this way, with large chucks just seemingly not printed. I also have a picture of me taken at Chuck E Cheese (it was someone's birthday, so I was dragged there), mayhaps I'll upload that later.

I'd rant/rave/whatever some more.. but I seriously need to go find that 'bed' thing. We'll see where it goes from there.
