    Insomnia

    I am a narcoleptic.

    I can nap anytime, anywhere. I’m always tired and get migraines when I ignore my body’s call for sleep (thus, migraines are pretty frequent). I take medication to help me stay awake, but I still fall asleep at the drop of a hat. I spend more time in REM than the average bear and have intense, vivid dreams. I’ve fallen asleep at the wheel and crashed into a street lamp, and slept through my own graduation.

    Anyway, point is, I’m a sleepy person, and I fall asleep very, very quickly.

    But every now and then I go through bouts of insomnia. Accustomed as I am to falling asleep in 3 minutes flat, this whole counting sheep thing is severely overrated. I hate laying in bed doing nothing, yet my brain is too jittery to do anything productive. Ten minutes of lying awake is an eternity to me…thirty minutes, an hour is beyond eternity. I grow more and more impatient which in turn prevents me from relaxing enough to sleep.

    During these bouts I find myself reaching for my sleeping pills just to get through the night. I’m pushing an hour now, and it’s killing me because I know how tired I’ll be tomorrow. I took one about 20 minutes ago and I’m waiting for it to work its magic…

    What triggers these insomnia attacks? I don’t know. Stress, probably. I’m an easily stressed person and get anxiety dreams like its my job.

    I just want to sleep.

    Something new

    I want to start a new blog, one that focuses solely on my life as a pharmacy tech at your friendly neighborhood McDruggies.

    You can find it at gracerex.tumblr.com.

    I’m tired of getting hit by cars.

    I’m no longer the fearless road warrior I once was.

    I hope this is a sign of good things to come.

    Things I want but do not have

    1. Jean Schlumberger diamond flower pendant: $175,000 

    Although this isn’t a jewelry style I generally go for, I find this pendant remarkably beautiful. I like the little tulips on the chain, too! The whole thing is exquisite. 

    -> 1a) Though, speaking of Tiffany jewelry, I want this opal necklace! 

    I saw it several weeks ago in the Smithsonian’s Gem Collection. Pretty much every opal piece there is to die for but this Tiffany necklace caught my eye. The fire and colors, so beautiful.

    2. Pom pom hat

    I love pom poms very much.

    Confession: Even though I’m half-Asian myself, I still think halfies look weird. Not necessarily ugly…but my brain wants to tell them, “Pick one side or the other!”

    OMG I WANT THIS NOW PLEASE. It even rotates! 

    I need a job. Maybe I’ll get it to commemorate my first steps into the adult world. I wonder what finger I’ll get it on…thumb? middle?

    TIME TO FIND OUT MY RING SIZE

    ————————————————————

    My thumb is a size 8; first finger is a size 8; and middle finger is a size 7. I used an online ring size printout guide, though, so I’ll probably go to a real jewelry store and find out if it’s accurate. 

    I need a jerrrrbbbbb >_<

    ———————————————-

    Update: went to a jewelry store and got my fingers officially sized.

    6: thumbs, middles
    6.5: indexes

    That printout guide was terribly off.

    I got the Atomic Otterbox case in honor of my beloved Creative Zen Vision: M’s memory.
