Sleeeeeeep

Oct 15, 2010 03:23

I wanna do what my userpic does but my body doesn't comply with what I want.

I really find myself in an odd predicament. Truth is, it is already three in the morning right now and still, sleep doesn't come to me at all. Clearly, I have been in bed all day, lying around lazily with The Gardens of Kyoto keeping me occupied but not  a yawn had left my lips.

Sad to say, I am becoming nocturnal.

It's just so odd that sleep evaded me right when the semester ended, all the while I hungered for sleep during school. Architecture really scrapes off my youth for, what, a year or two? and apparently sleep is a craving I had for four months. And now that I have an extensive hold on it, it just wouldn't ENTER MY FREAKING SYSTEM.

My body's working oddly. Shall I consider this a bad sign?

People say that if a person saw another yawning, their body would follow the gesture and soon feel their drooping eyelids. I had been staring at my userpic for a few minutes now, and still, nothing happens.

Maybe it really does only work within the same species. That, or I really am becoming a nocturnal.

I have tried counting in my head, picturing a multitude copies of my dog as she bounced atop my head or bit my toes. I couldn't picture a sheep, after all, I haven't seen one in my entire life. My dog had been a welcoming, however annoying, presence in my life and for some time, I thought that thinking about her fuzzy little self would bring me into dreamland.

I'm really not surprised that it didn't work, though. After all, the little minx is the one who wakes me up every single day.

I've tried, really, but my trials ended up with me watching Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant, writing a note in Facebook, chatting with my fellow arkimate who, as it seemed, can't sleep either and eventually, writing this entry and staring at my userpic. Again.

Well, even if I couldn't get a wink out of the life of me, I would still love to relish this sembreak for what it's worth. After all, hell begins again after a month and I'm not entering UP without the much needed rest an Arki student needs and that preparedness for my next bout of majors (I'm having four next semester). For even if my userpic feels sleepy and I'm not, I might as well relish the other things, aside from sleep, that I would eventually miss out on the next months.

The semester is over, anyway. Sembreak is about relaxing, and I'm well-bent on doing that, thank you very much.

...

I just tried yawning, only to hurt my jaw. Really, these retainers are killing me.

This will be a long break. A long one, yet never uneventful.

musings, ramblings
