Tactfully deficient

[illusionofjoy]

As I was walking to WAIH this morning, I passed by one of my classmates who asked me if I was "going to fall asleep in class today."

"Of course," I replied with veiled sarcasm. It's not that I mean to fall asleep in any class - and certainly not while one of my classmates is making a presentation, however sometimes I can't help it. Given the heat index and the fact that my sleep patterns have been buggered for ages, there are times I can't escape. It's like a stalker at my back, I'm aware it's there, I know it's coming. I try to fight it - I try to escape. Sometimes I think I've won but then it overtakes me and I have no idea I've lost until I snap back to reality.

In any case, I am fully aware of my shortcomings. I need them neither highlighted nor made light of by others. In this case, it would appear that I will be continuing to feed the vending machine my dwindling cash resources in exchange for a caffeinated elixir.

I probably do have some sort of sleep disorder, but it's nothing I likely didn't give myself. Going to college has a way of messing up your body in various ways, most of which I prefer not to discuss at the moment.

I'm glad you took the time to visit the main journal. It's really the place place to go if you want to "pry into my mind." The Livejournal is where all the random crap, or the "edited clippings," get thrown. As for my music - it's not everyone's cup of tea. I'll understand if you don't dig it.

Actually I was very impressed with the music. I think the music is brilliant, and if you wrote it, you're talented IMHO. BUT, I hope you don't mind me saying this....the lead vocal could be better because sometimes it sounds off key.
I've said my two cents worth about the sleeping. Even if you do drugs and/or alcohol (which I did alcohol) don't think that you couldn't have a sleeping disorder. You can screw up your body, but that doesn't mean it's perfect to begin with. See what I mean?
I know learning does take a lot out of you though. It can make you physically tired using your brain.
