Resting Your Eyes...

"Daddy? Daaaaaaaddy?"
"Mmmm?"
"Don't go sleepybyes."
"I'm not...i'm resting my eyes."

How many times have I heard that one before?
There is a great danger in closing your eyes and thinking. That said sometimes it is necessary. I think that it only become dangerous when you know that you will, without a doubt, drift off to sleep. For example, when you are on a train and the journey is going to last for no more than 45 minutes and your stop is not the last. To fall asleep would be inadvisable indeed as it tempts the chance of you missing your stop and then having to pay a rather nasty fine of £20.

Other times falling asleep randomly can cause you other problems, like neck ache. There have been a few times, although I do try to avoid them, when I have fallen asleep at my desk or leaning over a book and the dull throb you receive when you first wake up is not something pleasant.

Right! So i'm shattered at the moment. Completely and utterly knackered. I have been packing all day for a departure in *finds calender and counts* 18 days. Woah...i'm leaving home in 18 days. That's pretty scary if you ask me. I didn't actually think it was so soon. At least I know now. I leave for University pretty early as you can see. It all seems too fast. Sometimes I feel like this is what I've been waiting for, and other times I don't beleive that I am yet old enough to be going to Uni. Never the less the 11 boxes are sitting, happily packed up for the looming event and so I must get used to the fact that I shall be leaving the hugs and security of home behind.

I'm drifting upwards and leaving the comfort of living so close to LOndon behind. Manchester is a big place...and around 4 hours car journey away from home. But it's a new life for me to start and so I shall grasp it will gusto!

Time for me to contiue the packing process. God help me when it comes to clothes.

Pulling All Nighters

I don't think people plan to pull an all nighter until they actually have.

You sit there talking and talking or mucking around and doing crazy things and then suddenly it's light outside and someone mentions that they have to be up in 2 hours. You check the time and 'Hey!' it's 5.30am and the milkman is coming round.

Such a thing happened to me last night. As I am sure most people are aware it was results day yesterday. A magical day of happiness and utter misery. It's like the luck of the draw. Sometimes you win and other times you lose. I had no chance of losing but I still wanted to do well for prides sake. I managed this quite well :D

So in celebration I went to a party. It was a party where I knew the host and his brother but no one else! These kinds of parties can be the BEST kinds of parties as no one there has any pre-formed opinion of you and therefore you can almost make yourself up for an evening. Being a happy enough person in my own personality I didn't need to do this but anyway...I digress.

I hadnt consumed alcohol and I was still in a perfect frame of mind. Which was funnier I think than if i'd got drunk. Watching can be more amusing - plus you don't get the after effects. Ergh.

My only hangover lasted 72 hours. This was enough to put me off heavy drinking for LIFE! Shame :'(

So yes...anyway...

It got to 5 in the morning and I realised that I probably wasn't going to sleep much. I did infact manage to sleep for the hour and a half before a certain persons alarm went off. *sigh* but then crawled into their bed as it was far superior to mine and fell asleep for another few hours.

Now for some people this type of party is hell. No sleep, up in the morning still. Yet for me it marked one hell of a bash. There weren't many of us, about 10 i'd say and yet the company was stimulating and very fun. There wasn't much alcohol consumed (although there were other subsances around) *cough cough* and actually that made it better.

So i'm sitting here now, feeling like it's the morning because I got home and slept till 10pm. I'm drinking Diet Coke and wishing that sleeepiness would overcome me soon so that I might get back on track with my sleeping patterns. It's not going to happen I know but I ight as well try.

I realise i'm not updating this as often as I should. In fact it has been a whole month by my recollection. I do apologise. Once i'm at Uni i'm sure the sleepless nights will increase and you'll find me on here more. Not that anyone reads this surely.

But a vent or outlet of passion or just random tat is useful.

So i'll go now and count some llamas in the hope that i'll be sent to the sweet realms of sleep.

Adieu.
