2 a.m. and I'm blogging 'cause I'm still awake...

I've got a bit on insomnia going again. This of course throws my whole routine into disarray. Instead of operating during normal working hours, I spend half the night puttering around and half the day pushing the snooze button on my mobile.

It wouldn't be so bad if I were in any way productive during these late night hours. I could be cleaning my room, working for my job, commenting on the countless blogs I read/stalk, blogging myself, or plowing through an inch or two of the immense stack of reading I need to catch up on. (Remember how I'm going to graduate school?)

But no.

Instead, I clock an embarrassing number of hours on Facebook, IMDB, Google Reader, and the BBC iPlayer.

I know this bad habit I'm forming is mostly my fault, but as was helpfully pointed out to me yesterday in Sunday school, passing the buck was one of the natural man's tendencies from pretty much the very beginning...

So I'm more than happy to split the blame with the fact that there's basically perpetual darkness in London this time of year. The weather man says it's getting a little lighter every day, but until I can kick this habit and see for myself what can I say? I suppose only this:

I don't believe him. And winter just isn't my season...

I picked the wrong time of year to transfer to school. This is my third semester straight of school, and I'm pretty burned out. I drive myself nuts with all the time I waste. But at least you waste your time on great sites like IMDB. One of my favorites.

I figure if the sun isn't up, I shouldn't be either. I'm totally with you.

This one time, I re-read my comment and I meant to say "but not as much as I adore YOU!!!"

Just so you know.

:P

Just rereading this post and thinking... you wouldn't REALLY be in school if you used ALL your time productively, would you? Then again, I'm not in school and have the same issue...

And therefore we're friends.
