Only have 30 mins. left.

[tainted_chimp]

4. 30 mins left?

hope they fly by, and you find yourself back home and comfy and ready for sleep.

mmmm.....sleep......goood!

[enigmatic]

2. Me

Got back from a trip and too wired to sleep...

Nice pic of Louise Brooks, by the way..

[tainted_chimp]

3. thanks

louise brooks is too beautiful for words. smart too.

where'd you come back from?

[enigmatic]

5. Calgary, w/ my wife...

I had to go down to the American Counsul to get a passport for immigration purposes; I'm becoming a permanent resident of Canada. I'm living in Edmonton, but I was born in Cleveland..

[tainted_chimp]

7. wow

besides mexico, i think canada would be such a great escape of a place to live.

(i know, completely different climes)

still....congrats on your new journey!

are you ready for the cold?

[enigmatic]

9. Oh yeah!

I've been here 3 years; I lived in Phoenix for a number of years before coming up here. i literally went from living in 115F to -30F in about 4 months!

Mexico's cool, too; Traveled all through Baja and live in Juarez for awhile..

11. sounds like you are the

type of person who could acclimate to anything.

lovely!

how much fun you'll have!

[enigmatic]

15. I love Canada....

I'll always be an American, but I love it here...

6. Me.

Couldn't sleep, and I have an 8am class in about 85 minutes. I'm still not tired.

So I'm gonna drink some caffeine, have breakfast and start my day.

[tainted_chimp]

8. sometimes

facing the day with no sleep can be a liberating feeling.

life looks and feels different through the lens of sleeplessness. enjoy all the strange and wonderful sensations!

[SmileyBoy]

10. Believe me, the feeling is not new to me.

I have a sleep-cycle disturbance disorder, and the severity of it ebbs and flows. It's ebbing right now, I guess.

[tainted_chimp]

12. i think i might have something similar.

i just go with it, and hope my body can function without too much bother.

Dont you just love those mornings when you realize that youve slept for 10 hours?

what a crazy gift.

[Guaranteed]

13. What is that?

I very well could have it. My body seems to run on a 27 hour clock.

[SmileyBoy]

18. Yeah, I know what you mean.

It's like a 27-28 hour clock for me. If I'm not careful each night, I could end up insomniac for a night, or sleeping for 12 hours.

[enigmatic]

20. My sleep cycle has been screwed up for years..

Thank God I don't have a 9 to 5 job, or I'd be in deep, deep trouble..

[demnan]

14. Me

I really need to relax this weekend. I guess the Republicans have been getting to me lately. I need lots of classical music and rest. I was trying to read some of Bill Clinton's "My Life" last night and I got drawn in. It's really quite an interesting book.

[enigmatic]

16. Too much political stuff, even in an election..

burns me out mentally; I have to step away from it for a couple of days...

[tainted_chimp]

17. hard not to let them get to you.

how can anyone be so fucking blind, numb, and clueless.

i get so angry, i stew my insides into something gelatinous and irrationally bitter.

classical music helps.

i especially love Erik Satie's Gnossienes.

beauty and musical irony helps.

[tainted_chimp]

19. i feel like i'll never sleep tonight.

my mind is positively reeling

[enigmatic]

21. Have you tried herbal tea?

chamomile works for me sometimes..

[tainted_chimp]

22. yes

in the morning, after sleeping.

guess i should rethink my tea experience.

(thank you for the suggestion!)
