'mr. sandman, bring me a dream.'
don'tcha just fuckin' hate it when you can't sleep? especially when the other person's all snuggled up and comfy and dead to the world. it's worth something when they entertain you, though.
10ish: off to bed. snuggle.
past 10ish: i'm clearly not going to sleep, get up to watch Sweet Home Alabama.
past 11ish: movie not working, back to bed for more snuggling. get the unconscious elbow. ow.
past past 11ish: more movie.
12ish: back to bed. oops, forgot to pee. up. awake again. dammit. getting really pissy. no pun intended (this time, anyway).
past 12ish: more movie. still not working. i've seen this movie hundreds of times, how can i possibly care what happens next?
1ish: back to bed. wantin' that snuggle now. slide in (under the elbow) get wrapped up and petted. then, he speaks... in some unrecognizable accent from the land of dreams: "I see you walk in, I don't see you walk out."
past 1ish: "huh?"
past past 1ish: "That's what my grandmother always said. Collectible salt and pepper shakers." the roll over, the blanket adjust, the settle, the mumble. "I see you walk in, I don't see you walk out."
past past past 1ish: i'm laughing so fucking hard i have to leave the room.
1:30ish: this is no longer cute or entertaining. i want to go to sleep. i'm pissed. i message anyone in my phone book who won't get pissed about getting messaged at 1:30 on a monday morning. they're all sleeping, whaddaya know...
2ish: oj and a cig on the porch. another pee break. to bed, in sheer determination. either i'm sleepin, or -nobody- is.
past 2ish: the stroke, the shake, the whine: "Baby, I can't sleep."
past past 2ish: "Your body or your brain?" so stunned by a coherent reaction, i can only manage, "huh?" a purely masculine moan of exasperation, followed by the roll over... the blanket adjust... the settle...
this time it was mutual.
g'night, kids.

People who can lie down and fall asleep annoy me.
