Title: Tired-ass geek
Reading: The Jon-Jon

Drinking: Coke
Hearing: The hum of the air conditioner
Feeling: Running on 3.5 hours sleep -- again. This insomnia is killing me.
What's up with June being almost over? This is freaking me out. It's almost the Fourth of July already. Talk to me, people.
Speaking of the Fourth, I'm planning on celebrating my independence by repeating my escapades of last year and get arrested at the Episcopal General Convention with SoulForce. SoulForce is a gay rights group who does non-violent protests, specifically aimed at the injustice of excluding gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgendered people from the church at large. I am all over that, since the church and I have had a very dysfunctional relationship the last couple of years. Getting arrested isn't my idea of a good time or anything (the good times I had with Jefferson County last year notwithstanding, of course), and I don't particularly want a police record. But, well, sometimes you just have to take a stand for what you believe in. Or a sit, in this case.
Counting the Damn Sheep:
I have been suffering from insomnia the last few nights. Normally I don't suffer from it -- I enjoy every minute of the night time -- but I really do have to be up for class and work and such at a respectable hour these days. Silly thing, being a grown-up. Last night I went to bed at midnight, with every good intention of being asleep by one, but it was not to be. Three episodes of Star Trek later, I was no closer to sleep than when I lay down. I drank some hot tea. I read for a while to tire myself out. I cuddled the cat. I thought soothing thoughts. Nothing helped. Dammit. I'm tired of being tired; this is the fourth night in a row. Anyone got any suggestions for getting to sleep? I'm open.
All right, it's a quarter to seven and I'm still at Sun. Time to jet.
-- marcie.
