astro_noms | "Self," I said to myself

My sleep cycle is already fucked up as it is, and then I had to go and turn "I'm going to lie down for a bit, I don't feel too well" into a three hour nap. *facepalm* Which mean there I was, still awake at 1am. *sigh* Actually going to bed and lying down did help, but I couldn't shake the feeling that there's something else I should be doing instead.

I'm feeling super crappy today, which means I'm probably going to give up on the trip to Cardiff with Marta and her friend, because when my throat gets like this, it's a sign that ~~winter~~ plague is coming. So I think I'm going to stay home, and putter around here, maybe get my brain in gear and do some writing. Plus there's laundry to be done and packing to be started, so I might as well make myself useful. There are renovation dudes coming to finish up with the bathroom and put in a new toilet, so I don't know how conducive that'll be to anything than random poking at words and possibly catching up a bit more on tv.

Happy first day of spring!

Ugghhh.. plague is not fun. I had the late winter plague moonlighting as a cold type thing about 2 weeks ago. Was not fun at all. Hope you feel much better soon! Maybe with some rest you can ward it off. :)

I seem to have killed the sore throat with honey and lemon water, but I have to go outside today anyway, so we'll see how well I do after that. :)

I have an off sleep cycle naturally, which makes being on a schedule for work murder.

I hope you start feeling better.

You'd think almost three years after I quit my night shift job in Canada and moved to Poland to live on a "normal" schedule, my night owl tendencies wouldn't be so strong anymore. But alas, I still tend to do my best work at around midnight and slightly later.

I know right? There isn't a shift that's better or worse for me as far as sleep. I'm screwed @ any time. Wow you've lived a lot of places!

but I couldn't shake the feeling that there's something else I should be doing instead.

I always get this feeling whenever I go to bed before 1AM. :|

Urgh, sorry to hear you're getting sick. Maybe that explains the 3-hour nap. I hope it doesn't lay you out for too long.

I've been having this feeling the last few days. I finished all my essays in a marathon session last week, but my roommate was still writing hers. So I was supposed to be resting my brain and relaxing, but seeing her working on her stuff kept making me think there was something I was forgetting. Not a pleasant feeling.

I'm feeling a bit better physically now, but I'm still writing the day off as shitty what with all the school-related bullshit. :|

Ugh. Maybe try distracting yourself with something? Like reading or a movie or TV? Just something so you're not so aware of her working. Maybe that'll trick your brain into relaxing a bit.

*pets* I'm sorry your day's been so crappy.

(Btw, your icons is hilarious because I rp members of a fake rock band called Sans Pants.)

:D FAKE BANDS ARE THE BEST. All the Atomic Vaudeville stuff I post is actually fake band stuff, except I kinda get distracted by AUs, so I haven't written/posted a lot of the main 'verse lately.

The guilty feeling is so strong that it doesn't help. She's done now, so I'm hoping it'll ease up, but given how I've felt yesterday and today, it might not be so easy. To make it worse, I can't seem to make my brain reboot itself to actually work on stuff I want to work on, like writing.

They're so much fun! I've another fake band called Bags of Veronica, and now I'm interested in this Atomic Vaudeville of yours. I'd seen it mentioned, but I hadn't any idea what it was.

Ffff. That is the worst! Now that you're feeling better, maybe try to get out of the house? Out of sight, out of mind? And maybe you'll see/hear something that'll kickstart the creative juices. Oh, and maybe listen to some music, too!

I've got all the AV stories (main 'verse and AUs) posted to

atomicvaudeville, with a master list at the top, if you're interested in checking it out. And there's also

fbandom, which has some stories from other people linked, as well as in-universe "fan" written primers on a couple of the bands.

kjdhfkjd So much stuff! :D This is making me want to do Things~ for Sans Pants. >.> There's the added fun of the band members being actual gods (mostly). You've got Loki singing lead, Dionysus on drums, Hylas on guitar, and Ganymede on bass.

Om nom nom, delicious band.

fbandom is totally open to new people, if you want to post things there. The more the merrier!

Sweeeeet! I'm going to let

mysticshell know (she's who I write with). :D

Oh, I hope you'll get better.

Happy first day of spring? We still have snow on the streets...

I live in Wales right now, there's been about 4-5 days of winter this year. Back home in Poland, there's tons of snow right now, too.

ETA: And lol, obviously you know that. *facepalm* I need to pay more attention to the usernames of people who comment.

Right :)

The worst thing is it was supposed to be warm this week and then it started snowing on Monday. Ugh, I hate everything.

Everyone's saying "oh, it'll be really warm here in April!" and it's like FFFFFUUUUU DO NOT TELL ME THAT RIGHT BEFORE I LEAVE.

I don't want to leave.

You're going to die of boredom here. Seriously, there's nothing to do and the classes are a joke.

Which seminars did you choose?

Modernism/post-modernism and contemporary theories of literature and culture.

It's actually been really boring here, too. I had four classes a week last term, and three classes a week this term. Granted, there's a lot more reading and the essays took up a bit of time, but I think I'll actually be glad for a bit more of a routine.

Hey, I meant to ask, can you check if there are any ads for rooms for rent on the bulletin board at IFA? I'm kinda floundering right now but I need to find something ASAP. Thanks from the mountain. ;)

Those are probably the only classes that require any reading. The girls chose the Modernism/post-modernism one and it seems fine. But the normal classes suck - why do we still need Integrated skills? WHY?

And, yeah, sure, I'll check it :)

awww i hope you feel better!

The plaguey feeling has mostly gone away, but my day's still pretty shit, so I'm applying booze and RDJ's Sherlock Holmes to hopefully soothe a little bit of the suck.

well that sounds delightful!

Man, naps are evil. They take up more time than you ever intend, and then they make you stay up later than you want.

They *are evil! But they are also awesome. DILEMMAS.

I'm particularly bad at naps, myself, so awesome isn't a word I lay on them. I generally wake up grumpy and unhappy if I happen to take one.
