How? What? How? Three excellent questions.
So, yesterday after I completed signing up for this blog i decided it was time to go to bed. So off to bed i went seeing as how i had to be up at 7:30 a.m. to be at work at 8:30 a.m. which is an hour earlier than i usually go in on Tuesdays. I always say i'll have to be a bartender or something because i simply cannot go to sleep early i think i am physically incapable of doing that. Take this whole situation right now as an example of this.
Let’s go back to me going to bed last night after i finished this stuff up. It was about 2 a.m. i believe and i thought sleep would come normally. Well, so i hooked up my iPod up to my nifty little pillow with a speaker inside of it (my mom bought this for me) and laid down to listen to the playlist i listen to almost every night. It's called "Eat, SLEEP, and Breathe Buffy", with an emphasis on the sleep because i have at least two other playlists dealing with Buffy songs, most directly from the show itself, a few just felt like they would have been at home on Buffy so they are on the playlists too.
Anyway this sleepy playlist starts out with a podcast about Spike. I have listened to it almost 200 times but the man's voice is soothing so i listen to it every night. Then it plays "Warning Sign" by Coldplay, which btw is my all time favorite song and i shall be posting about that sometime soon. After that it goes on to play other quiet, soft, soothing, sleepy songs up until song 10 and then the "Once More With Feeling" Soundtrack starts but i put these here because my theory was that by the time the podcast and 9 other songs were over i would be asleep and not woken up by the more lively songs from "OMWF". And i am usually asleep by the time those songs come on. After that it goes back to soft, soothing quiet songs, then towards the end i have a few audio sound bytes from Spike and then a couple more songs and the playlist just starts back over.
Anyway last night i stayed awake through the entire podcast, which i dont do very often, then through all the songs after that until "OMWF" was about to start. I was worried. By then it was already after 3 a.m. and i was not in the least bit sleepy. So i got up, got back on the computer and basically did nothing for an hour or so. Then i went back to my room, tried to sleep again and just could not. I woke up and put in "Wild At Heart" a BtVS episode from Season 4, a very sad one where Oz leaves Willow, (my second favorite character), with the commentary track running, which included Joss Whedon, (cue the reverential music and god-like awe), Marti Noxon and Seth Green. I had never watched this episode with the commentary and it was pretty funny. After that was over it was now about 5 a.m. give or take and i had pretty much come to terms with the fact that sleep would not be happening. So i put in another episode "Reptile Boy" from Season 2 and listened to the directors commentary on the episode since i had never heard that one before either.
So of course at around 6:45 a.m i start to get sleepy and actually start falling asleep. By then its too late to go to bed and i just had to get up and get ready to go. So all day today or rather yesterday to be precise, i was more sleepy than i have been in a long time. But now here it is 3:30 a.m. again and i am still up. Not a nap to be had all day long and i am still here. I got my second wind but dammit i should be tired. I suspect that as soon as i lay down i'll be asleep before i know it.
The title of this post is a snippet of dialouge from my second favorite episode in the entire series of Buffy. It's from "Something Blue". This episode revolves around Willow, who is a blossoming witch who is heartbroken and tries to do a spell to have her will be done so she can make her heartache go away. But the spell backfires and leaves everything hilarious. I absolutely love it. Well now i think i have devolped carpal tunnel syndrome and must go to bed, or at the very least try.
