I should be unconscious right now. I’m not. It’s something like five thirty in the morning. I’ve just read my comics (not many update on Sundays) and putzed around on Etsy some more. Kitty’s asleep (or trying to be) behind me. Ian’s totally conked out on the bed where he has been for hours. I tried to go to sleep around three. After about two hours of lying there thinking about stuff like “One of my novels’ main characters doesn’t have a last name” and “What if I make glow-in-the-dark snails” and the like, I gave up on being in bed and came out here. True, my heartburn was acting up a little, but not as much as it could have been. True, I slept in until about eleven yesterday, but that was after going to bed at four. Dunno. I’m just not tired. I mean, I’m tired, but I’m not sleepy. Does that make sense? I doubt it. Little makes sense to most people at this hour. I’m thinking about playing WoW until about eight thirty then throwing all my stuff together, filling up the tank in the van, and heading up to the parents’ so I can ride up to Katie’s with them for Kyle’s birthday party. Maybe playing WoW will make me sleepy. Maybe I should just plan on sleeping in the Blazer on the way up.

Since I’m not moving, and haven’t had the presence of mind to stop typing and do something else to conk myself out, I’m going to muse about what I should use as the last name for one of my main characters. The main main character in my novel series is named Solennelle Woods. She goes by Sol for short. It’s French for dirt or ground. Solennelle is French for sullen or solemn. Guess what “woods” means? Yeah, I’m not funny at five thirty in the morning. At any rate, the other main character goes by the name O. Just the letter O. His name isn’t actually O, but since he doesn’t like his full name, he just got people to start calling him O and it stuck. O has no last name. I’m thinking about making his last name Bois, which is French for woods. Haha, I’m so goofy. Actually–in my blathering musings while I was failing at sleeping–it occured to me that if you think of his first name as a ring (’cause an O is round with a hole in the middle) then his name would basically be the same as Ringwald. I had also in my mentally deficient state considered using the word “bague” from Frnch as his last name. A bague is a ring, so his last name plus Sol’s last name would be Ringwald. But then if you translated his name from French into English it’d be O Ring, and that’s just silly. What’s really silly is that my ass is still up and on the couch when it should be in bed sleeping. Me, all of me sleeping, not just my derrière.

Well, I’ve taken the post on a turn for the worse, as usual. I’m curious as to how many typing mistakes I’ve made throughout this missive since there are no lights on in the house and I can’t see the screen real well from the distance I’m at. It’s too bright in a room too dark. Of course, the sun’ll be up relatively soon. Maybe in an hour. Then again, the sun has been getting up later and later lately, much like me. Silly Day Star. I bet I could crochet a sun. It wouldn’t be warm or made out of gases or anything. Just yarn. Oooookay. Time to wander off and try something else as a means of passing out. I think we have some vodka around here. And a hammer. I could always just take some allergy medicine as well, hehe. Let’s take this post into unhealthy ways to fall asleep! Oh wait, we just did that. Time to leave, seriously. Bye bye!
