it could be debated that sleep is necessary and therefore i should make a regular habit of doing it. especially if i really want to go out tomorrow night. especially if i want to go to madeline and spend the night on saturday. especially if i plan on doing well in ld tomorrow. although i’m sure ld won’t be a problem. afterall, you all know how i talk when i’m tired. let this be known as exhibit A. hah. plus i won’t really be tired until sometime tomorrow and there should be plenty of downtime in which to sleep at the tournament or something. i don’t know what there would ever be downtime at a tournament but you know, it happens. i’m writing cases on the way there. because i didn’t get them perfected before i got there. i will probably actually only run through what i plan on saying once or twice (be honest, once). and then i’ll just go in to rounds and see what happens. i’m sure it’ll be okay. and i’m not too obsessed with how i do this weekend. just going is a lot of money that we’ll have to raise so at least i can save myself the trouble. eh.
i talked to madeline on the phone for like 4 hours tonight. whee. like 3:40 to be exact. wow. it was fun though. we talked about a lot. of course she was asleep-ish the last hour or so. but still. it was nice. i was all mushy. grin. i like being mushy.. and having someone to be mushy with someone that doesn’t mind my mushiness.
yeah so i spent my whole night awake working on this layout. which i believe i began sometime around 6 this evening.. although i was working on it in my head for the past week at least. goodness. i still need to change the “what layout this is” business and all of that shit but still. i’m close and that’s what really matters. i’m also close to having earthfire done. i have the layout done now i just have to find some time to be online and figure out templates. because i don’t know what variables do what thing. i assume i’ll figure it out. and if not, oh well, we had a good run. or something.
when i was on the phone with madsee, mom picked up. at like 2 in the morning. which is kind of late to be on the phone. and i couldn’t just say “oh well i’m on because i took some medicine and now i can’t sleep so i’m forcing my late-night babble on madeline.” so instead we were both just perfectly quiet. and then she hung up so i told mads i had to go. and she got off the phone and mom came in my room and looked at me (good thing i have all my lights off and the only thing that’s on is the computer or else oh fuck, who knows. so i had the computer shut and i was emergency sleeping and doing a good job at it. so she comes in (i had left the phone off the hook so that it didn’t look like someone had heard her get on and then get off). so mom comes in, sees me asleep, hushes the dogs, and leaves. at this point the dogs throw a hissy fit and start jumping all over me so i get out of bed and put lucky in devon’s room so that i can put muffin and lucky outside. mom is like “hey.” and i said “they were jumping all over me. so i’m putting them out” and then she was like “have you checked the phone because i picked it up and there wasn’t a dialtone which means someone is on it. and i was like “maybe i left it off the hook. i’ll go check.” so i went back to my room and turned the phone off and then told her the story and so that was all. i put the dogs in again and smuggled my cellphone to my room and called madsee to tell her that there was no trouble that had been spotted. go me.
scott called tonight. well he called last night. and then i haven’t been home to return his call. so i got another message and i called him back. he’s persistant. so i called him and we talked for a while. he’s a wannabe emo kid. emo kids are nice. we might go hang out tomorrow. apparently he used to date sam. which is just funny. she and i hang out with the same type of people. she seems like a cool enough girl though.
i want to finish the greg palast book soon. i bought Dantes’ Inferno, Salinger’s Catcher in the Rye, and Knowles’ A Seperate Peace at the book store last night. (is it really last night yet? i think i should sleep if only to not have to worry about defining what time of day it was or where that time of day relates to this time of day. hm.) they’re such great books. i haven’t read Inferno yet but Catcher in the Rye and A Seperate Peace are two of my favorite books. I could read them one million times over. Maybe. by that time i could probably just be saying them outloud. it would be the same thing. they just say so much though. mm. and i heart gene, phineas, and holden. rock.
