I, I live among the creatures of the night. I haven’t got the will to try and fight. Another day, another 4-something-am. I just had a nice two hours of lying in the darkness rolling around. You know, if I was Tyler Durden, my Edward Norton would wake up each morning wondering how all his laundry and dishes were getting done because instead of setting up fight clubs, all my Brad Pitt does is clean. I’m living in the forest of my dream. I know the night is not as it would seem.
Maybe I’ll try making that tea. I know nothing of tea though. What’s caffeinated or what…. all right, found a pouch of sweet apple cider. Sounds soothing enough…. I shocked my grandparents (Nana and Papa!) this evening by phoning them. I’m rotten at keeping in contact with my family and am totally undeserving of the star status I enjoy within it. I called because I finally found out that I am officially graduating. (there was some concern due to a class I dropped first term blah blah blah) My grandpa was more excited when I told him that I was seriously considering getting back into hockey though. He still plays in hockey tournaments and seriously weightlifts. He’s in phenomenal shape. Nana informed me of the existence of cousins I never knew I had and all kinds of stuff only the matriarch would know. It was good to call. Now that I’m on a roll, maybe I’ll surprise some old friends this week too. (Yes, I consider one call a roll.)
Doesn’t tea ever cool down? My sensitive lips can’t handle this. I just tried to name all my first cousins and scored seven, maybe eight, out of eleven. Not too good. On the plus side, the tea is delicious. The soothing action, action, action probably isn’t working though. Maybe I’ll go scrub the tub. And by tub I mean penis. No I don’t. What is wrong with me. I need sleep, that’s what.

Hehe, ‘And by tub I mean penis.’
As much as lack of sleep brings me down, I don’t think I’d want it any other way. I don’t know. There is something about the lonely dark of the night that soothes me. It’s become a necessity to who I am and what I do. Oh, now I’m sounding way too poetic.
But don’t you somewhat agree?

I cheat with tea, I only make the water warm and not boiling when I warm it up . It still comes out pretty strong too.

Did you have apple cider or tea? The Stash tea was still on sale this week down here. SO happy. The husband got some decaf earl grey. You are so good stay in touch with your gparents. Your grandpa ROCKS!!!! That’s the kind of senior citizen I want to be. I want to live a REALLY long time as long as I am healthy enough to take care of myself and still remember my name (and lines). That is good you are reflecting on your family. All those cliche’s are exactly right, time flies and life is precious. If you have any spare time to spend with your family, do it. My motivation to get this data entry done is that I told myself if I get this done on time and done well, I’m going to let myself spend a full week back home. That way I can do some projects around my grandma’s house with her (if she wants) and the rest of my family. Congratulations on your graduation news! What a big relief!! Remind me…did you get any credit towards a masters degree this go round?

movie: Love at First Bite. “Creatures of the night.. shut up!”That’s why God made ice, to put in hot tea. You have a small family. I have at least 23 first cousins, possibly more. With what would one scrub a penis, exactly?

I’ve learned that when you make anything hot, if you want it to taste the best, make it and let it cool for about 20 min. Just about then is when it’s perfect :)I get odd when I’m sleep deprived too, but it’s so fun to go back and see what I was thinking!Hockey? Good luck…hope you don’t like your teeth…

Living in the forest of my dream…. wow… that describes where I am so well.
Actually this whole post describes emotion that I have had a difficult time describing. Matriacal longings, and tea… and sensitive lips and the sensuousness of that, while at the same time not being in that kind of mood at all.. I don’t know.
I did get the wrong London… I had a friend who lived there for what seemed like forever, and I have gotten quite good at the time differences… now he’s stuck in Nebraska… and while I shouldn’t laugh……… mwuhahahahaha!!!
I am glad you are actually getting to graduate, and I don’t care what anyone says…. one call is a roll!!!
