Does lying down in a dark room help? I know it helps me rest and zone out even when I'm being attacked by insomnia and can't sleep.
Speaking of... I should go to bed.
BTW LAistas, is it raining? Or am I just hearing leaves falling on the roof?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'ma try lying down. I'm finished posting the two pics I've drawn tonight--if I start another, I'll never go to sleep.
I can't hear rain from where I'm sitting, Burrell.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Also, not sleepy.
What is UP with this? Me neither.
He's crushtastic.
So darling.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'd like to offer "piece of suck" as an alternate to more common oaths.
Thanks for all the travel-ma. It worked! I had clear roads for 8:45 of the 9 hour drive. It just started to sprinkle when I got off I-70 in KC. The only problem was that my iPod died.
Tomorrow I get to see my Dad's office throw him a party.

Yikes, Hil. Take all the drugs!
Now all I can remember is "fitte-kittie" and "hellavurtur". I have no idea how they're spelled or what they mean, but apparently they're very bad.
'Fitte' is probably cunt. I'm not familiar with Norwegian swearing, but in Swedish 'fite' (no clue how to spell these) is cunt, and it's 'vitu' in Finnish (same root apparently even though Swedish and Finnish are generally super different). The 'kittie' bit I don't know. In Swedish it's usually fure-fite, which means 'sheep's cunt', or maybe 'hest-fite' which is horse's cunt. In Finnish it's normally 'vitu perkele' which I think either means devil's cunt or cunting devil. I use 'vitu perkele' a lot.
If I want to say 'Jesus Christ' but am worried about offending people I just say it in Irish, which is Iosa Criosd (pronounced sort of ee-uh-suh cree-uhsed), it hits all the right sweary syllables but isn’t recognisable.
That's a lot of swearing for very early in the morning, but there you go. Merry fucking Christmas and all that.

Blargh. Fourth night in a row of crap sleep. Work will be fun today.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Waves back.
I fell asleep, then woke up when my sister got here, and that might be all for the night.

Ooh. Insomnia plus icy roads. I'm thinking telecommuting and/or calling in sick today may be a good idea.
