Ahem. So, there comes a point when you've been up for nearly 30 hours straight and you're lying in bed trying to sleep. But, all you can do is lie there and think about all of the things you did wrong on your paper and the better arguments you could have made, etc., etc. Suddenly, you start comparing yourself to John Crichton. And not in the good, 'he's a smokin' hot hero' kind of way, no, in the bad, 'long-haired, crazy, living on a dying leviathan with only 1812 for company' kind of way. That's when you realize that you need to take a sleeping pill and end the madness.

This, my friends, is why I'm a fan. Otherwise I fear I'd be that crazy OCD person all of the time. And I'm not terribly fond of that person, she scares me.

I think she scares my parents, too. Because they've been calling me a lot wanting to know that I'm okay. It's funny now. It wasn't so funny a couple days ago. But, you know, this is how I'm like Sam Winchester: one second I seem like a nice, friendly person and the next I'm all tunnel-visioned and creepy. Or something. ;-)

Tonight it's off to Ann Arbor to see the UMS yearly production of Handel's Messiah. The Big Lug actually got us tickets to that. The fact that my little brothers can actually act like thoughtful adults at times should not be as shocking as it feels. They are kind of stuck at the ages of 11 and 8 in my head, sometimes. I know they've grown up, really I do. I swear.

Also have to clean ye olde apartment today cause the stupid bastards are coming around to "inspect" it again. I think I'm going to dig up my lease. If it doesn't say anything about letting them in for a second inspection then I may keep them out, purely on principle. I know my rights as a tenant and if there's nothing in my lease then this is my property and they can't come in. So there. Course, taking a stand like that requires more energy than I'll probably have. Oh well, I should clean my sty anyway.

So it appears that in my tunnel vision I've been missing some kind of wank, both lj and spn related? You know who I blame? The studios who caused the writers' strike. They'd better not cancel Christmas 'cause that would make me mad.

Hee. I love that the law student in you comes out when the apartment people try to stomp on your rights. Go you!

As someone who is currently CLEANING like a mad thing, getting ready for the arrival of Christmas and the wayward offspring and the boyfriend of DOOM, I'd be kinda okay with the whole cancel Christmas thing. Ya know?

Only wank I know of is the "Jensen is fat, omg, no he isn't, why would you post that?,RPF is bad, RPF is okay, except for FatJensen, and what about wincest, dammit," wanking.

Back to cleaning carpets.

Kill me now.

Yeah, the inner law student comes out, all right. She rants and raves but then she takes a nap and inspections happen anyway. Oh well.

Oh, that was the wank? Well, there's nothing really new there. Oh, fandom, one eternal wank after another.

I hear you on the cleaning thing. *big sigh* Good luck with your own Christmas of DOOM. Hope it's full of not not-dying and other assorted non-tragic things. =D

uh-oh...

You turning into crazy Crichton? Not a good sign. Of course you, on very little sleep? Often entertaining. Hmmm...it's a quandary, me thinks.

Here's to hoping the sleeping pills work their magic and you have a lovely time in A2. As for me? I'm hunkering in for some not so great (okay, downright yucky) weather.

Oh, this was definitely nowhere near the good, whacky kind of sleep deprivation. Though I did tend to ramble a lot at the few people who talked to me. So that may have been semi-entertaining, to them, at least.

But mostly crazy Crichton-esque. ;-)

Have since recuperated, for the most part, and A2 was very nice. Hope you survived the crappy weather and that all is well in Whoville.

Well, since there's no more rain in my apartment, I guess all is good :) Still have the blower blowing, and all my furniture piled high in the living room. Made watching Tin Man difficult, but possible.
