Elegante y brilliante
I think I hate the alarm my phone plays to wake me up. Which is fantastic, considering I picked it out myself.
I actually chose the sound specifically for being so very jarring. When I'm not buzzing with insomnia, I tend to sleep *absurdly* deeply, and I need a truly horrific noise to drag me back to the land of the living. And generally my alarm has done very well by me in that regard.
Sadly, however, I was not sleeping deeply this morning. I was flailing and cursing my way through a very unpleasant nightmare. Which, in combination with the sudden jangling of the alarm, led to me spasming awake with such violence that the headboard of my bed slammed resoundingly against the wall, leaving me blinking and bewildered and wondering what on earth that banging noise had been.
And then I decided (after my pulse had slowed down a bit) that I was really very tired yet. And so I set the alarm ahead half an hour, managed to fall right back into nightmare territory, and in thirty minutes time I fish-flopped and startled my way back into horrible-alarm-induced consciousness yet again. Brilliant. Well and truly brilliant.
I'll be expecting my suavity trophy any day now.
