Life For Dummies

Here's the thing about summer here. It seems to be better suited for insomniacs. I mean, while sunshine is beautiful and all, you get 100 degree rays blaring down at you for a few hours a day and the sunshine doesn't seem so beautiful anymore. You hibernate in your cool home because even spending a few seconds outside is an experience you never want to have. And to go where anyways? The mall? Again? The movie theatre? Again? The bookstore? Well, yes, the bookstore. Always yes to the bookstore.

Anyways, going out and exploring the world is for summer nights in my world. The day is for graduation parties and parents and sometimes, but rarely work. I take the graveyard shift of life now. To me, nothing good happens before 7:00pm. Well, unless you still haven't slept yet and the adventure is still going.

What sucks is when someone asks you to drag your butt out of bed and take the daytime shift like the unadapted humans of this world. It feels like you need people to tell you what the ABC's are and how to put on your shoes. You have to remember how to get dressed and look for the day, not just the night. It's much easier getting ready for the night.

Anyways, seeing as I am slowly becoming the very definition of an insomniac, I no longer care if I update this blog frequently. Maybe, if I wake up during normal human hours or if there's nothing to do that night, but I am sleepy and groggy and feel like I must of spent the night going on wild adventures when really all I did was talk, jump on a trampoline and watch a bunch of movies. Now it is time to get ready for the daytime shift. Gotta shower for the parents, ya know?

I can't think of anything witty to say about nighttime/ daytime/ sleep here, so make something up, my lovelies.

(Short aside. Emily Dickinson once wrote, "This is my letter to the world that never wrote to me." Likewise, the world never wrote me a letter, but I am writing it a letter, in the form of this blog. So whenever I write this, I think, that at the most, five- okay, two- people are reading it, but I'm writing it for everyone. That's all.)
