when i get what i want, i never want it again

Feb 15, 2012 10:04

I did that thing last night again where I could feel myself falling asleep in front of the tv, so I just went to bed at 9:30, and shockingly, I slept all the way through to my alarm. I woke up once at 3:10, but closed my eyes and went right back to sleep. I love it when that happens! Though I really wish I didn't get to the point where I'm tired enough to sleep for ten hours without waking up.

I'm working on this story, and now I'm wondering if I should fold it into this other story I'm working on, since they cover some of the same emotional territory, and this was supposed to be more of a focused first time thing rather than some kind of intense exploration of ~feelings~. I need to think about it.
