Some brilliant quote about insomnia. (Did I mention I'm too tired to think cleverly today?)

[sinkwriter]

Due to horrible insomnia last night (and a resulting bed time of around 4 AM), I'm feeling overtired, mildly crabby, and a bit argumentative.

I'm thinking it's probably not a good idea for me to be on the internet today.

I might flatten some poor, unsuspecting person with my unintentional intensity. Not a good thing. Unless they say something totally moronic. In which case they deserve it.

I'm kidding, I'm kidding!

Maybe.

;)

Seriously though, it's probably best I steer clear of the LJ communities today. Especially the Bones community. They probably wouldn't know what hit them.

Instead, I'll just finish my homework and look forward to seeing the latest episode of Merlin tonight, even though it looks absurdly silly. Then again, after only getting about four hours of decent sleep last night, perhaps silly and absurd is exactly what I need.

Hope you all are well, and well-rested, and having a marvelous weekend.

I hope you get some better sleep soon.

Your choice of user pic is very comforting.

:)

Thanks for the cheer. And I hope your ankle is feeling better as well.

Feel better!

Yeah, yesterday I was in bitch mode and I was trying to decide what to rant about. Fortunately I managed to keep myself from ranting about anything, but some days I'm just so tempted to.

It didn't work for me last night, unfortunately. I decided to get up in someone's face for posting argumentative statements about a book on Amazon dot com... a book the poster readily admitted she has not even READ.

She was there to state her own opinion, but it wasn't even based on knowledge of the book she was dissing. She was only making her opinions based on how she doesn't like or agree with the subject of the book and because she doesn't like the author of the book (based on reading some of the author's web site blog). But the thing was, she was bitching about the author and disagreeing with everyone on a discussion post about the book, which she hadn't read. Which seems hypocritical and lacking in complete facts, in my opinion. I had to say something. It ticked me off. Sometimes you just have to take a stand.

*GRIN*

Thanks for the comfort. And the awesome Scully user pic. I love that scene. Makes me laugh just reading the words on your icon. ♥

SCULLY: What the hell happened to you?
MULDER: (narrating) Finally... you left.
SCULLY: Don't you touch that bed.

Heeee.

Oh yeah, Amazon. I am curious what the book was about, though. I got pissed off at some dude who wanted to call the book Speak pornography just because it's about rape and all sex, even rape, is porn. GRR. No. Just no.

My topics of discussion were pretty much: why writers writing for fanservice makes a show start to suck, why the fuck do periods always come when you LEAST WANT THEM TO (seriously. In the middle of marching in a parade. WTF), why Bones and Merlin bother me when things like Buffy and Castle don't, why I think Xander is a douchebag in Buffy season 3, why even though I don't always like Buffy, she was actually written pretty well.

Though actually, all of those rant topics sound kind of appealing. Who knows? I might still do rant posts. :)

And yes! I love that X-Files episode. Always cracks me up, and I love how very different Mulder's story vs Scully's story was.

It was a book about finding ways to accept yourself (and your body), no matter what size you are.

The person who objected to the book -- the same person who admitted she has not actually even READ the book -- was bitching about it, saying it's telling people it's okay to be fat. Um... NO. As I understand it, it's about taking care of yourself and feeling good about yourself no matter what your size. Why should you only do that if you're a skinny person? Or feel like you have to put your whole life on hold, and hate yourself, until you lose a bunch of weight? That's not a good thing. So this person just seemed ridiculous, and she was stirring up shit in the discussion thread of the book reviews, which seemed ludicrous to me seeing as SHE HASN'T EVEN READ THE BOOK! I told her to come back to discuss it with me after she's actually read the book. Then I'll take her opinion more seriously. (Only I used more words than that. LOL.)

I've not read that book you mention, but it sounds like the guy is totally misinterpreting the message of the book. I don't like it when people get all judgmental and self-righteous about something, and want to prevent others from being able to make up their own minds. GRR.

Hey, some of those discussion topics sound interesting, Sophie! If you feel the urge to write about any of them, why not? ;)

P.S. I love your Castle user pic. :)

Hee! But think how much fun it could be, unleashing such intensity on the poor, unsuspecting internets. :D

*hugs* In all seriousness, I hope you break the cycle and manage some decent sleep soon.

[sinkwriter.livejournal.com]

Heeee.

*walls begin to shake*

They will kneel before me and FEEL. MY. WRATH.

;D

Thanks for the hugs and cheer. I hope I sleep better tonight, too. I just couldn't stop worrying about everything last night -- homework, a web site project, finding a job, thinking about my life. It got me all wound up.

But I just watched an episode of Leverage and that made me smile and helped me to chill out a bit. Now I'm going to tackle that homework.

*HUGS back*

[krazykitkat.livejournal.com]

Hope you sleep better.

[sinkwriter.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Kat. And I send you massive HUGS -- I just read your latest post. I wish I could do something to help.

*hugs again*

[krazykitkat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Hon. I've blown it a bit out of proportion, just going through a frustrated period. I think I'm going to need to talk to my old boss about possibility of a job at her company.
