I stayed up last night until 5 am, with the intent of seeing the frelling sunrise. I didn't know quite when it has been rising, but i figured sometime around 5 or so. However, five o'clock rolled around and the sky was still just lightening with the approach of dawn. I could have stayed up longer, as I wasn't terribly tired, but I figured I should at least get a few hours of sleep so I could basically function today. I was rather disappointed to have missed the sun coming up, but I'm a rather avid sleeper.

So besides the letdown of going to bed before dawn, my night (or morning, I suppose) was enjoyable. I sat on my bed and spent most of the time watching TV shows or doing dren online. However, I have a habit of talking to myself, and found myself whispering stuff as I watched the shows. I had to keep my voice down because of my sleeping roomate and others, but that didn't stop me from talking quietly--though I did have to hold back my laughter. I realized I tend to comment on things or answer the characters on shows while I'm watching, although I try to tell myself not to. I get a bit crazy in the wee hours of the morning, loaded up with caffeine and the only one awake.

Sometime around 4 am I put my laptop away and started reading. Then I went and sat in the family/living/room-with-tv-and-couches and waited for the sun. But, like I said before, it got to be 5 and I decided I should go to sleep. Easier said than done, however. I fell asleep for about 40 minutes or so, then woke up and went back to sleep. Sometime before 8 I woke up feeling sick, but I had nothing to throw up. I went back to bed. A short time later I repeated this proccess.

I have this thing when I'm feeling nauseas where I have really weird half-dreams, where I know I'm dreaming and it just feels off. The dreams themselves aren't technically all that different from the norm, but there is a feeling about them that makes them strange. And, try as I might, I can't change the dream, despite the fact that I know I'm dreaming. I try thinking of something else, but that doesn't work. And, of course considering my obssessiveness, I always have sick-half-dreams about TV shows or movies. This time the dream featured the Band of Brothers men during a mission (probably due to the fact that I watched a couple episodes yesterday). And it switched back and forth between characters, but I also got the sense that I was almost reading what was happening. I dislike my sick-dreams as they feel wrong. Even when starring the Band of Brothers cast.

So of course, my first (that I can recall) Band of Brothers dream and I have it while I'm not feeling well! Disappointing and very annoying. Although, the other day I did wake up and the first thought that crossed my mind was not my own. It was "suppressing fire!" yelled by a BoB man. Don't ask which one, as I don't know.

All in all, the night/morning was good, and I am feeling better now. Everyone else writes blogs, so I figured I would chronicle my (mis)adventures for fun.

Thank you for joining me, and have a fantastic day. Or night. Hell, have them both.
