Keep me awake

sleepy time

Imagine waking up crying, not really remembering why you were sobbing so hard you roused yourself from sleep.

Now imagine that happening everyday for a week.

Welcome to my life.

Now I don’t know if it’s the coming back from vacation(was in Palawan for five days), the incessant tea drinking, or the Gossip Girl marathon, but something’s been causing these crazy, disturbing, but unmemorable dreams. I seldom remember dreams, but I usually just jerk awake coz I dream I was running or something like that. Nothing to this extreme. I mean I never really cried much until this year, and now I’m waking up to tears on my pillow?

Come.effing.on.

According to a friend, it’s unexpressed emotions trying to work their way out when I’m not controlling them. So after all those drinking sessions and journal entries and crying over movies I didn’t even care about before, I stil have unexpressed emotions?

Bullshoot.

To be fair, I’m not exactly the usual I want to talk this out person. I’m tired. I don’t want to talk about things. I actually feel better listening to other people’s problems now. The feeling of helping them just by being there, soothes me. And even if sometimes you just want to bonk them on the head for not doing the right thing, or continuing on an insane path that’s leading them to destruction.

Yes I am being mother hen-y again and trying to protect the people I love from the world and other people. I know I’m trying to do too much and just bringing stress and heartache to myself, but hey, when they hurt, I feel the pain too.

(Here I go again, forgetting the original thought and running down paths to the unknown)

But yeah, keep me awake. The dreams are scary, and not in a “There’s a ghost behind you!” way. They’re effing visiting a prison and get stuck there,  relatives dying scary. (From what I remember)

And it’s a crappy dappy way to wake up. I get crying yourself to sleep coz you know what’s happening, but jeez.

So keep me awake. Or at least, wipe away the freaking dreams.

Coz really, they’re not helping.

Nerds are <3.

nerds

I remember a professor said in a conference I attended lately, that the geeks are taking/will take over the world.

Can us nerds/dorks rule with them?

Yes I am a self-proclaimed nerd.

But perhaps I’m more of a dork. I possess the coordination of one (or lack thereof).

And how cool am I, bringing a box to Central while the others were knocking back beers and smoking.

There I was sipping on my coke and tapping out Nerds.

Peace.

Bee

Love beetles. I keep saying when I get a car of my own I want a vw bug.

And spend time on the road with me, you’ll get a bonk on the head with a grin, a peace sign, and a point in the direction of the beetle.

What can I say, I like the concept.

I always wonder if the owners notice people when they do that.

So, about last night…

Yesterday I was a jerk.

A full blown, who gives a crap, total jerk.

I guess I was tired. Of being politically correct. Of making sure everyone had it great. Of putting up with things I really didn’t want to.

I jerked it up.

It was so out of character. For me, who usually wants everything and everyone to be fine, for everything to be smooth.

I put myself first.
I did what I wanted to do.
I didn’t care about the consequences of what I did.

No, I didn’t do anything totally radical.
I didn’t commit any crimes, no irreperable damage.

I just was different.

And it felt good.

For several hours I acted my age. 23 and with no cares in the world. No drama of the week.

I felt free. I felt like a huge weight was off my shoulders.

I am so close to being like this 24/7.

But I don’t wanna be a jerk forever. 🙂
