Turns out my vampire love is flaring up again

...I blame Kamijo?
I've always had a giant vampire fetish, and I don't think I really even need to justify it, so I won't. We all know vampires are hot with a capital H, O and T.
I noticed it flaring up again, though, after watching an ad for True Blood (which I have yet to see) and then an episode of Supernatural (yes, I have sort of started

Rambles in Response

I read/obsessed over Dracula (and drew Mina-chan's Video Diaries in parody of Tomoyo-chan's Video Diaries) in high school. I preferred reading Dracula to Frankenstein, even if the latter had been more scientific. I have not watched the D/F movies. (Just Young Frankenstein)

We've both crashed Hondas :D! And survived! Hardy little cars. ♥

Guitars are relatively cheap. Violins... not so much. Best way to learn guitar is to pick one up and pluck a little. Lessons & such would take commitment. If you were committed, I'd recommend hunting down a guitar teacher to formally teach you. One does not necessarily have to study just classical music!

Violin would entirely need to be formally taught to you, and then you would need to hunt down a violin teacher.

sorry how early have you been going to bed?
if its early enough to clash with sleep rhythms it can stop you from sleep

is annoying because I would love to be able to know i'm getting up early, go to bed at 9pm or so,.. but it doesn't work cause I won't fall asleep
a suggestion if you cannot figure out sleeping patterns? try meditation style relaxation? can be more refreshing than sleep, not quite as good as deep rem but meh

Mmm, do me a favour? google search cajon
So cool, so so cool. Honestly tempted to try and learn to play it.

Very much agree with the above comment of hunting down a teacher, although your problem of lacking funds comes up, a lot of people will go through basics with you for free, then just catching up, jamming a bit.. treating it as a social session is a great way for friends to teach and to have fun

oh, or if you want incredibly cheap lessons or to experience being part of a band (not rockband sort of thing) I know a group who'd be glad to have you along at practices

Between 10.30-11.30, so no, not early enough to clash.
(apart from last night, when I was dying by 8, and dragged myself to bed at 10).

and still couldn't sleep? gah

maybe try sleeping in a different bed? different room temperature?

thoughts on meditation idea?

oh also my recent experience is regular meals and balanced vitamins seem to help me sleep
