yeah especially on a desk at school. I've come to find that teachers don't like it when you fall asleep in their classes for some reason.

That's dangerous territory for me because if I can't fall asleep, I just roll over and watch tv.

Very true. Or watching minutes on a clock. That's painful.

Good morning, sleepythread!

When I was younger, I always used to go to sleep with the TV on - it was usually Nick at Nite, or baseball if the Mets were playing on the west coast. The only problem was that sometimes I forgot to take my glasses off before I fell asleep, and my mom would get kinda pissed when she woke me up the next morning and saw that (not as pissed as when my brother "forgets" to set the sleep timer on his TV, though).

Now, I need total darkness in order to be able to sleep (not just fall asleep, sleep. Once the sun starts shining through the window, that's it for me). I've also become too familiar with the crashing point - I figure if I'm not going to be able to fall asleep right away, why should I waste valuable Internet time lying awake in my bed?

Ugh, cramps suck.

Yikes. I tend to have the opposite problem - for most of last semester, I woke up about 20 minutes before my alarm went off. I think that on some subconscious level I just felt unsettled by hearing it go off and my body woke up early so that I could shut it off without having to hear it first. I wonder if that'll still happen this semester now that I'll be setting it for 6 AM twice a week. I guess I'll find out in two weeks.

---

Yikes, you start early. *hug*

Good... afternoon, everyone.

What book?

---

What book was it, Fantabulous?

I'm not much of a crying person (my mom is, though - she cries over the sappiest things and I'm always making fun of her for that), but I cried like a baby at the end of A Tree Grows In Brooklyn the first time I read it.

---

I haven't finished reading it yet. I wanted to do so without distraction, and when I finally was about to read it (at 3 am, mind you) I heard some noise, thought my parents might be up and scrambled to get ready for bed.

"If you can't fix it, you've gotta stand it."

---

I think I like "who's the smiley blonde?" better.

---

Or the mopey guy.

---

I will, when my parents stop walking in and out asking me to carry out mundane tasks. gr.

"I just keep telling myself that I only have to deal with high school for five more months."

Heh, I remember telling my parents I only had to deal with living with them for [insert number here] more months almost every day during my senior year of high school as part of our too-frequent fights.
