"Some people grow up, and some just grow older."
I had insomnia like you wouldn't BELIEVE last night. I was jumping up and down out of bed, back and forth, for awhile (getting a drink of water, playing with the thermostat, running to the bathroom, all that good stuff) ... but even after I finally started to hold still, I could *not* get to sleep. I was tossing and turning for two or three or four hours, trying to get comfortable, then trying to shut my brain off enough to actually SLEEP. I tried everything -- the Alphabet Game, Ray Romano's "Fudge Suitcase" Game, watching old episodes of MST3K and "Everybody Loves Ray," all sorts of things ... nothing was helping. It was after one a.m., and then after two a.m. ...
Finally, I reached over to the side of my bed, grabbed onto Plushie Jack (where he had been sitting to the side of my pillow), and curled up with him in my arms.
Within five minutes, I was asleep.
That was all it took. Hugging onto Plushie Jack. And I haven't even been in much of a Jack Sparrow Mood lately.
Incredible.
... Man. Twenty three years old and I still need a security blan-- pirate. Security Pirate. That'll be an LJ icon for me some day.
