Ughhhh. Why am I still AWAKE?!

Oh, right. School. And procrastination. FML.

But the good news is I'm DONE with work until I come back from break! All I have left to do now is pack and fold my laundry that's been sitting in the hamper for the past 2 days. And pfft, I have plenty of time for that. After I get some sleep, that is.

Anyway, I was going to do a long post about TV and crap, but now I don't have time. Seeing as I'm about to pass out, and I'm leaving on a jet plane tomorrow for a week without internet and all that. I guess all that will have to wait for another day. Namely, the day I make my triumphant return to an Internet-ful existence.

Before I go, 2 things. I finally caved and bought 100 icon spaces, yay. I still have about 30 left open, DOUBLE yay. And I get to have lots and lots of pretty icons now, ones I never got to use before! Even when I had the 35 icon spaces. I thought that would be enough, but it totally wasn't. I think 100 is plenty, though. Shocker.

And my second thing is me wishing all of you a very happy Thanksgiving. Because I am so immensely thankful for all of you, that I met you and know you and that you deign to talk to me and be my online BFFLs. Other things I am thankful for: my family, NPH, 100 icon spaces, the ability to stay awake all night without things like caffeine or cheap speed, having all my limbs, good TV shows, and chocolate.

Oh, and happy Slapsgiving as well. But giving slaps isn't as nice as giving thanks.

Peace out, suckers. Here, while I'm gone, watch this Thanksgiving video and think of me.

Typically, I have several thousand tabs open at a time. Well, more like 10, depending on what I'm working on/using to procrastinate with. As of right now, I have 14 tabs open, although two are the same picture of Noah from As the World Turns, aka My Glorious Gay Angst-Ridden Temporarily (?!?!) Blind Husband. Click for the pretty.

First tab open is always Facebook. I flip back and forth between mine and Ted's several times a day. Next is usually LJ, which I check CONSTANTLY. Then I have my Elon webmail, since that works better than my regular email, usually. Also because it has the emails that are most important. These three tabs are refreshed constantly, and probably constitute the majority of my internet routine. Sometimes I'll have multiple LJ tabs open, as well (such as the flist, the RP comm, and assorted fics). And I wish I could have both Facebook accounts open at once, but sadly, I cannot.

And then there are the random tabs I open all the time with Youtube videos, Wikipedia articles, Google searches, random things people send me, and the like. I also regularly check TWOP, EW, imdb, and homestarrunner.com, though I tend to forget this last one exists. Except for when there are finals, in which case I tend to watch all 500-something web cartoons over again. Oh, and most recently, Twitter stays open in my tabs, since I just got one and keep checking it.

This is fascinating stuff, I know.

( Real life stuff! )

I would really, really love to go to sleep right about now.

Sadly, I'm too busy writing a movie about zombie angst. 6-12 pages, due tomorrow, only 3 1/3 pages done so far.

Lalalalalalalalala.

In other news... I hate my life. I think insomnia makes me emo. That and deadlines.

You thought I was up early? Nooooope. I'm up LATE. Very late. =D

I saw the sun set, and I saw the sun come up, which has only ever happened to me once, and back when that happened, I wanted to die. I don't now, though. I'm just more reluctant to start sleeping because... well, it's morning now.

Anyway, I haven't had an actual update for... a while? My journal got taken over by the RP for a while there. Just like my life was! Um, I mean... is. But my journal's returning to normal service now, since we created the himym_roleplay community, which has been my home for the past, oh, twelve hours.

I'm just going to keep babbling now until I pass out. So excuse me while I'm being random. Because I feel... like being random. What?

( It's just r-random! )

My latest and greatest way to procrastinate: get an alter ego.

( RP fun and school YAYZ under the cut! )

I HEART INSOMNIA.

...Except that I don't. I really, really don't.

Fricking school.


**EDIT, 9:24 AM**
Grammar essay in literally one (count it!) minute under the wire. Know why? Cause I'm AWESOME!!!

...Unless it was four days under the wire, if the prof gave us an extension to Friday without telling me about it. In which case I'm going to have to smash some TVs. After I get some sleep, that is.

( I'm not weeping cause you won't be here to hold my hand... )

I almost never do memes, but I'm kind of interested to see what I get back with this one.

Stolen from lukecanwaltz88:

THE CHARACTER MEME!

Everyone has a character they feel connected to, whether it be in a book, movie, show or video game. But how do others perceive you? Have your f-list tell you a character they see you as, and maybe even explain why.

Let me hear it! =)

( Real life busyness... )

...And yet, I keep sticking around to see if something does. Apparently.

So right now it's 2:15 AM. I've spent all day being ridiculously tired (after going to bed around 3 last night and waking up at 9-ish), and only 15 minutes ago I could not WAIT to finally go to bed.

Only, funny story: the second I put my PJs on and brushed my teeth and all that fun stuff, I was instantly wide awake. And now I have absolutely no idea when I'm going to end up falling asleep.

I hate insomnia.

The funny thing (except for how it's not funny) is that this hasn't just lasted for a month or so, though I think it's been getting worse since my cousin died. I've had really weird sleeping patterns ever since I started college, always staying up for crazy hours with no real reason to do so. It's just that before I could always get to sleep at a normal hour (like 1:30) if I wanted to. Now? I can't.

Maybe I'll channel my newfound not-sleepness toward something productive. Like FINALLY finishing that next part of Barely Coping (no, idioticonion, I haven't forgotten about it! I'm just really slow, and it's being really difficult, and... enhhhhhh.).

Oh, and I showed my friend Dr. Horrible tonight for the first time! But it was coming right after an MST3K screening of Sweeney Todd (her new favorite thing) so she kept comparing it to that (which I kind of wish she hadn't kept doing because she missed the best parts that way, KELLY). But another girl who was there had also seen it a million times, and I'd never seen Dr. Horrible with someone who loved it too, so that part was exciting! Of course, our combined spazzing/reciting/sing-alonging was probably another reason Kelly missed some things. Eh.

Edit: Quick random question: is it McLaren's or MacLaren's? Or is there even an apostrophe? Or random capitalization of the letter L?

Sorry if it's a stupid question. My brain's falling apart, and I've run out of duct tape.
