seraphcelene | in which we remember the joys of fic and that sleep is a good thing (Reply)

Today I am sleepy. Oh, how sleepy I am. Of course it is my fault, completely my fault as these sorts of things usually are. There always seems to be a point at which I say, "It is late, young lady, go to bed". That point is swiftly followed by, "Okay, but just one more" page, chapter, half hour of kdrama, song, trailer, paragraph. And then it's later than the last time I checked the clock, until it is so late that I have to give in to knowing that tomorrow will be a worse bitch than it should be if I do not go to bed Right Now.

So, ~~yesterday~~ this morning, around 12.30am I finally crawled into bed after red velvet cupcakes covered in cream cheese frosting and a glass of Silk. After falling asleep on the couch for just a little while, only to be woken and ousted by my baby brother who was less concerned that I should be in bed then that he wanted to stretch out instead. And really, shouldn't I be in bed anyway.

I went to my room. I prepared for bed. I checked my email one more time and then realized that I hadn't been on Apple Quicktime in a few weeks. Such is the allure of the internets, there's just so much to do. So I went to Apple Quicktime and watched a handful of trailers. Then, because I am so in love with it, I went and re-read

yahtzee63's Spock/Uhura "in the beginning" masterpiece, Break. If you love Spock/Uhura the way that I now love Spock/Uhura, Break is a must. If you're open or just not sure, Break could totally change your religion on this one. It's a print it out and keep it under your pillow kind of fic. I've re-read it from start to finish, maybe, four times. We're not even counting how often I've re-read my favorite bits.

Tonight, I am not reading fic. Tonight I am finishing up Neil Gaiman's Anansi Boys and then going to bed at a decent hour. I've got spin tomorrow and Scott Westerfeld's So Yesterday. I've got plans. I can't conquer the world if I'm sleepy. It just doesn't work that way.
