I'm Awake...

It's almost 1am and I'm awake... this isn't unusual really.
What is unusual is that I got up again... usually I try to stay in bed because then if I am not sleeping I am at least resting.

I am actually very tired... which is odd because I pretty much sat on my ass all day messing around online, playing with and posting digital photos, printing stuff for my "real" journal and generally being lazy.

Right now I am reading one of those terribly interesting books that make you think. Thinking is BAD when you are trying to sleep. What is this book? It's Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott. It's a book about writing. I didn't seek this book out, rather, it found me.

Books often find me when I least expect them or when I most need them. I can't tell you which instance this is this time. I do not think of myself as a writer, but considering I wrote this here blog entry and you are reading it, maybe I am.

So I can't sleep. I bet if I keep reading I'll have this book finished within the hour, but then what? I will probably still be awake trying to make sense of what I just read and how it applies to me. I should probably find a less interesting book to read for the remainder of my awakeness and hopefully it will be dull enough to put me to sleep... or at the very least a book that does not make me think... at least not too hard anyway.
