Oh, blah.

I'm way tired.

Yesterday morning the dogs woke me up at around 6:00, so I got up and let them out. I really should've gone back to bed, because I was a zombie for most of the day. I tried to sleep in the afternoon, but for some reason my brain wouldn't shut off completely. I decided to put off going to the library until the next day (today), because I didn't feel like going much.

And, as usual, I forgot that I had books due yesterday in addition to CDs. Guess who has fines to pay? :p

Anyway, last night I got really tired. I kept nodding off when Mom and I were watching Gene Simmons' Family Jewels, so after watching five minutes or so of Letterman, I went to bed.

And then this morning, I woke up twice. I heard the dogs and thought, "No way am I getting up this early again!" Fortunately, Mom got up with them, so I fell back to sleep. I woke up again at... I think it was nine-ish. I still feel like a zombie, but not as much as last night.

I think I'm making a cup of coffee today.

A Touch of Narcolepsy

Okay, so technically I don't have narcolepsy, but I'm quite tired today. There are two possible reasons for this: 1) I took an Aleve last night to relieve a sore shoulder, or 2) the weather went from average October weather to crazy winds. I'm thinking it might be due to the wind, because I sometimes feel tired or get headaches from the weather changing.

I still managed to get things done despite my tiredness, though. I did a couple of exercises in my GED book, read a little bit of my library book, went over some stuff in my Japanese book to refresh my memory, and did some laundry.

That's all for now. I probably shouldn't blog when I'm this tired :p

Sleepy

I'm yawning a lot today. Probably because I woke up twice this morning. I first woke at around 7, and heard dogs running around. Then I heard Mom upstairs, so I thought, 'Okay, I can go back to sleep.' I realized I was cold, so I grabbed the knit afghan I got from Value Village when we went there with Justin, and fell back asleep. I woke up again at around five minutes before 9:00.

Didn't feel like eating this morning, so I had a cup of hot chocolate and read Fruits Basket #6 for a bit whilst watching a program on Oasis HD. Then I put The View on because Yoko Ono and Sean Lennon were on. I ate the last of the chili and watched The View, and was just going to start working on my hat when Mom and Dad came home from the doctor's. They also went to the British imports shop and got chocolate and crisps. Yum. I wonder where they put the bag.

They went out again to look for some more pillows at Sears, and I stayed up here on my computer and watched a video of Anthony Stewart Head (aka Giles from Buffy) performing 'Planet Schmanet Janet' from Rocky Horror. Then I watched the video for a U2 song called 'Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me', which was part of the soundtrack from a Batman movie. I think it was Batman Forever. I've been listening to the song since yesterday, but didn't watch the video all the way through. It's cool. The first line, which is spoken-word, is greatness. I think it goes: "Riddle me this, riddle me that. Who's afraid of the big, black Bat?" That song makes me want to watch Batman movies. The only Batman movie I remember watching is Batman and Robin, and I only saw part of it. It's the one with Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy and Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze.

I vaguely remember the various Batman animated series that ran over the years. I used to watch them with Nathan (my brother) occasionally, but I was more into the Spider-Man animated series, because I thought Doc-Oc was boss, lols. Nathan said once that there was a Batman series that got cancelled after one or two seasons because it was dark and slightly controversial for family viewing, but I can't remember what it was called. Nathan said the story was something like Bruce Wayne developed a heart condition. I've got Wikipedia open, and I'm gonna look for it.

...Well, I can't seem to find one Batman series with Bruce Wayne having a heart condition, only Batman Beyond, where Bruce passes the torch to a young crime-fighter-to-be or something. I remember Batman Beyond, it was a pretty good series. Then there was The Batman, which was cool, but pretty dark. The Joker had green dreadlocks, which was pretty neat.

Oh yeah - is anyone else kinda weirded out by the fact that they changed Catwoman to a hero for the movie? She was originally a villain. I remember my mom was like, "That's not right, Catwoman is supposed to be a villain!" when the movie came out. I haven't seen the movie yet, though.

I think I'm going to check the library for movies based on comic books, because I haven't seen any of the X-Men movies from start to finish, and I haven't seen the second and third Spider-Man movies all the way through. And I haven't seen a Batman movie in years.

Oh yeah. I wanna see The Green Hornet when it comes out, 'cause Seth Rogen is playing The Green Hornet. Heck yes :) I remember Book TV used to run the TV series, as well as the live-action Batman series. I miss Book TV...

I'm yawning less now, but I still think I'm just going to focus on finishing my hat and hand in my neckwarmer as unfinished. I don't feel like blocking it and sewing buttons on it today. blech.

Off to the library site...

I should be doing schoolwork

...But instead I'm on Blogger. I'm really weirded out, still. And my eating habits aren't as Hobbit-like as before - I'm not eating as much. In fact, I don't think I ate anything for breakfast, but I had a glass of juice. And I don't think I woke up until 10-ish. I'm starting to feel hungry, though, which is a plus.

So, last night I reserved My Neighbor Totoro and the second InuYasha movie. The InuYasha movie is in transit now, and I probably won't have to wait too long for Totoro either.

In addition to my weird eating habits, I've been really tired, too. Some days I feel like going back to bed and not coming out until dinnertime. I don't know if I'm going to youth group tonight, because Mom and Dad might visit Grandma tonight. Part of me wants to go to youth group, because I'd be getting out of the house, but another part of me feels like staying home and watching movies.

That's all I've felt like doing lately - watching movies. That, and reading, writing and knitting. I haven't done math for two days straight, partly because of headaches.

I did go to the library yesterday, though. Luxury Yarn One-Skein Wonders is pretty good, although I'm not entirely sure what to knit from it. Maybe the 'Berry Jewellery Bag' thing. But that requires reading a lace chart. eep.

I should probably go eat now.

Getting better

I had a headache this morning/afternoon, though, which was annoying. I was pretty tired earlier, too, so when I was doing biology I felt like crap. Then I opened the writing program on my computer to read the bit about writing a resume, then I watched Let's Learn Japanese on YouTube. I was so groggy that, when I needed to click on the link to part 2 of episode 9, I accidentally clicked on a link for a part of episode 8. Yes, I was that tired.

I'm better now, though. I didn't do any algebra, but I got a tiny bit of writing done, and I read the first chapter of Dewey: the small-town library cat who touched the world. It's quite good thus far.

I hope I'll be okay to go to the knitting meet-up this week...

One more thing - we're going for burgers tonight! YAY!

Youth group was AWESOME.

Youth group was pretty cool last night. I haven't seen Sela in a while. We're not exactly bosom buddies, but I'm jsut curious as to why I haven't seen her at meetings.

We're going to paint the loft. I'm a bit sad about this, but it really does need to be painted. We had to sand down the rough edges from where past members of the youth group had stenciled on designs, because the whole surface needed to be a bit smoother for when the primer goes on the walls. We're keeping the wall to the right plain so that we can project stuff on it, but the other walls are probably going to be an apple green. I won't be able to bring music because, by the sound of it, it'll all be mp3 players because someone has an iPod dock thingy, and I have no iPod. So.... yeah. Dammit. Emma won't be there by the sound of it because of soccer stuff. I don't know if I'll be going yet, but I hope I can go. We're also going to help with the other painting in the church.

Gah, I slept in until 11-ish this morning, and I didn't actually come upstairs until close to 12:00. I was on my computer at 4-ish, and I didn't even realise what time it really was until I heard my dad come home, and I was like, holy crap, it feels like noon, but it's 4-ish!

graaaaaagh.

I have to finish Justin's scarf tomorrow. And my hood. And my fingerless gloves.

Woo-hoo.

I think I'm getting sick.

I've been drinking a lot of water today - at first I thought it was because I've been eating a lot of salt lately, but I feel tired too, and, well, let's just say that my nose is full of pretty colours. If this continues, I'm not going to youth group tonight, because not only will I get other people sick, I might fall asleep partway through the meeting.

I read my library book for a bit, then I knit, then I tried to sleep but couldn't so I came up here and fired up my computer. I watched InuYasha on Youtube, checked my e-mail, went on Ravelry, and now I'm writing this and I'm still on Ravelry. But I'm exhausted. Then again, I am a bit warm wearing this bathrobe...

I did do some schoolwork, but not much.

Here's one of the songs I listened to via YouTube today. Because my music collection is lacking, I've been listening to my favourite songs through YouTube.

So much for regaining lost sleep...

I couldn't drift off again, so I put on my R.E.M. CD and went through some of my knitting magazines, looking for baby patterns. I'm hooked on baby knits. They're just so darn cute! The cardigan I'm working on is coming along nicely, although I'll have to block it because of some loose spots. I finished the increases, and next I have to cast on some stitches (eight, I think) on each end for the cuffs. Yep, it's knit in one piece.

My mom and I keep quoting from Rocky Horror. Like the other night. Mom was cooking dinner on the stove, and I was heating up some leftover pork chop to go with my potatoes - mom was cooking the rest of the pork chop pieces in saurkraut and onions, and I don't like saurkraut and onions most of the time, so she set aside some meat for me to heat up in the microwave. I can't remember what we were talking about, but I said, "It's ASTOUNDING..." and she continued, "Time is FLEETING..." Also, earlier tonight, I was talking to her about something (again, I can't remember what... maybe something knitting-related???), and I began, "I remember..." and my mom added, "Doing the TIME WARP...." It was so funny.

And since my mom has corners of her Flair board on Facebook devoted to certain themes (like Meatloaf and Rocky Horror), I decided to do the same thing with my Rocky Horror Flair and my Robert Plant Flair.

I hate it when I feel tired, but I can't go to sleep. Drives me nuts. I think it'll happen again tonight.

Not a very good morning...

It started early this morning. I couldn't get to sleep because the cat was playing with a mouse. Yes, I said 'playing'. I kept a light on in my room so that I could keep an eye on her - after all, who wants their cat to drop a mouse on their bed?

I somehow fell asleep and had the weirdest dream about going for a run, going to a yard sale and phoning Q107 to try out for their Joe Bloe Radio Show (basically, once a month, they pick someone from the phone-in auditions to co-host an hour of the evening show). Oh, and the dream also involved my mom meditating, if I remember correctly.

I woke up to find Smiles licking a dead mouse. Ugh. So I had to dispose of the mouse, then I had a shower.

So, not only am I feeling fatigued, but I also have a headache. I have to talk to my friends, Erica and Holly, about a shopping trip. But I'm too tired to suggest any dates to them, so I'll e-mail them later. I really do need to get out of the house more often - I rarely go shopping, and I never really shop with friends. I just never seemed interested in that sort of thing until now. But after all the crap with certain people, I need some retail therapy.

At leastI managed half a page of algebra yesterday. I don't know if I'll finish the page today... maybe after having a snooze to regain the sleep I lost.
