Zombie Amy is Zombified this morning. Uhhnnnnnnnn....
*sighs* I've been struggling with insomnia off and on for a long time. Last night wasn't as bad as some nights, but it wasn't exactly one of the better ones either, especially given that damned nightmare I had. And the disorientation I experienced when I woke from it didn't help either. There are only a few dreams that can shake me up enough to call them nightmares-- usually, if there's a monster in my dream, I turn around and fight it. I'm like a Dream Buffy, seriously. But there are a few things that truly disturb me. Dreaming of family members trying to kill me is one of them. (just so you know, my family would never do anything like that in waking life. There's some sort of metaphorical imagery here, something unresolved, but nothing like that--they were never physically abusive)
But, in short, all this means is that Coffee is a Very Good Thing. Very Good Indeed.
I have some amusing friends. Being the constant wanderer that I am, I have lots of good friends all over the world, and we often keep in touch via internet chats. Well, last night, one of our friends entered our private chat and immediately said, "I'm not really here." She was going outside for a smoke before joining us in conversation. Then I said, "It's okay. I'm not really here either," because I was about to go get a shower before coming back, but it was occupied at the moment. And then my other friend said she wasn't here either. So I said it was a very existential chat. Then I said, "Or is it soloipism" or something completely misspelled like that... hah... then I looked it up and said, "Solipsism. That's it. The theory that all minds but your own aren't real, that everything's a dream." And then, somehow... we all started twisting the word "solipsism" into strange and deranged things. It ended up being morphed into "Silly-Putty-Pism" in the end. Don't ask. A thousand academics just groaned in unison.
I think I am going to work on a project today, but I'm going to focus on Glass Veil, my personal graphic novella project. I may play around with something fan-related later, but I'm not sure.
