Quiver he/him Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 I didn't get much sleep last night. I woke up at 2 o'clock, and spent the next four hours unable to sleep because I was afraid I'd oversleep and be late to work. ...Or, I thought I ddin't sleep. When I was at work, it suddenly occured to me that I had to have slept for some of that time, because i very clearly remembered stuff that was absolutely impossible. Like there being a clock in my house where it shouldn't have been... and all the clocks in my house showing different times. ... But I also know I didn't sleep the whole time because I did end up getting up at certain points to get somehting to eat, drink, and so on, and I was exhausted today. So I slept, sometimes, and when I slept, I had dreams about how I couldn't sleep. My mind is a broken kaleidoscope. 3

And you dream you woke up and fell asleep again and was awake and remembering the dream but really none of it was real. They're the weirdest.

So I slept, sometimes, and when I slept, I had dreams about how I couldn't sleep. My mind is a broken kaleidoscope. A beautiful, rainbow hued, nine and three quarters dimensional, impressively well designed kaleidoscope, and one that just so happens to hold the personality and (in my opinion) soul of someone whome I consider a friend and whose writing I admire. Anyone else agree with this statement? I do whole heartedly. 7

Quiver he/him Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 Sweet Celestia. Another sleepless night. About to start another 12 hour shift. At this point, I think the question is 'when' I'll collapse, not 'if'. 3

Straw he/him Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 Very similar usernames. Both come from the idea for a fantasy novel that ShadowLord_Lith is writing.
