It's been a while since I last posted (apart from the one from a few minutes ago!) so I figured I would make another entry since I don't seem to be falling asleep yet.
As some might have figured from the previous paragraph, my "insomnia" is still in full swing. A mate of mine suggested that perhaps it's something called Delayed Phase Sleep Syndrome, which quite frankly, sounds like what I have. For those too lazy to click the link, it's basically a disorder where one sleeps the usual 8 to 10 hours, just not at night, regardless of the previous days' activities. For example, I will often stay awake until 5am, get up at 12 noon the same day, go to an appointment or go shopping, come home at around 4pm, go to bed, but still not fall asleep until around 5am the next morning. It's irritating as hell as it means I'm cranky when I get up early (any time before noon is early). I have a doctor's appointment on the 29th, so hopefully he'll have suggestions as to what to do...
The other week, I was reading my friend Dani's blog on MySpace. She mentioned that she was hanging out to see a movie named Twilight and that it was about vampires. I had no idea what she was talking about, so I found the trailer on YouTube and watched it. It looked pretty awesome. Then, I read the comments. Someone mentioned that it was based on a series of books by an author named Stephenie Meyer. I figured that as I need new things to read, I'd see if they were available for download anywhere. They were. I downloaded them and started reading the first of the series, Twilight. I, figuratively speaking, couldn't put it down! This series is possibly one of the most intriguing, thrilling, thought-provoking story I have ever read. It may not be for some, but it is definitely for me! Unfortunately, there are only four books in the series (Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn) and there's part of another book (Midnight Sun), which is Twilight but from a different characters point of view.
I'm not going to go into detail about the books, but be warned, there are serious spoilers on the links posted.
Christmas is a week away! Yay! As mentioned in an earlier post, we had a bit of a drama regarding what we were doing for lunch on the day. After around $20 of phone calls and quite a few tears, Mum and I are now travelling to Murray Bridge for lunch at a pub. Hopefully it's nice as it's going to take us six hours to get there and back, not including eating time. For dinner, we're going to Kathy's house (one of Mum's best friends). That should be great, she usually goes a little overboard with the food, plus, I actually like her family!
All in all, Christmas day is going to be HECTIC! Thankfully, on Boxing Day, I'll be going to Abe's house to spend a few days there. I'm already looking forward to it! And for New Year's Eve, I'll be there (possibly still there, lol), as it's his Dad's birthday too. Should be fun!
I probably won't post again until after Christmas (unless something major happens, or I just get bored, lol), so Merry Christmas all, and if I don't post before then, Happy New Year!
Bye!
