There's nothing more frustrating then having some nagging idea - or a problem or whatever - that you just can't figure out the solution to. And I'm not saying this as a cry for help about the stuff I'm stuck on or anything, or making some comment about life on the good ship Barge right now, and it could easily just be that I haven't gotten more then like, three hours sleep a night in a good week at this point, but there are things I just kind of can't seem to let go of, and I'm starting to feel a little worn out.

So basically, if anyone's got any fun new suggestions for dealing with insomnia while stuck in a pretty contained environment, I'd be happy to hear them.

[Private to Jason]

[He was... very seriously considering not saying anything, but. This is called making an effort. :|]

So I took some Benadryl.

[Private to Howie]

I never really apologized for losing my temper with you the other day, so, I'm sorry I lost my temper over something kind of ridiculous.

[Private to Arthur]

I know this is a potentially extremely stupid question, but do you need anything while you're on babysitting duty?

[Private to Tim]

You're waiting for a train. You don't know where it will take you, but it doesn't matter. Why?

[Private to Costigan]

How's Rex doing?

Only if Howie gets to play the bagpipes.

Fine. But we still need someone on guitar.

[batmanschmatman]

This is the weirdest air band I've ever heard of.

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

You're the one playing the cowbell, weirdo.

private;

[batmanschmatman]

You're the one who came up with it.

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Are your facetious sensors broken or something? You couldn't come up with a counter-proposal?

private;

[batmanschmatman]

Did you miss the "I haven't gotten more then three hours of sleep a night" for a week memo?

And so we're clear, three hours was when I knocked myself out with some cold medicine, because I'm probably coming down with something on top of all this. The rest of it has been like, power naps.

Then maybe you should be using this awake time to get your brain on the ball.

Or you could always man up and take the sleeping pills.

private;

[batmanschmatman]

I'll be okay. I'm probably going to crash in a while for at least an hour or two anyway.

private;

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Just, if you start hallucinating or anything crazy, promise me you'll talk to a doctor?

private;

[batmanschmatman]

But what if I like hallucinating?

private;

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Then promise me you'll go to a psychiatrist.

private;

[batmanschmatman]

Don't worry, even if I didn't do it myself, I have utmost faith that one of you would knock me unconscious and hogtie me to a bed somewhere.

private;

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Or both of us. If we ever talk again.

private;

[batmanschmatman]

... What?

[Dick no function sleep well without. :c]

private;

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Oh, I guess I'm not really that mad at him anymore but it's kind of awkward to un-do the cold shoulder.

private;

[batmanschmatman]

... Bruce?

private;

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

...Tim? Why would Bruce have a problem with you developing insomnia? I mean, apart from stealing his shtick.

private;

[batmanschmatman]

I didn't know you were mad at him.

And I've been a highly functioning insomniac since I was eight. Bruce is used to it.

private;

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Neither did he. That's why I'm so pissed.

Exactly.

private;

[batmanschmatman]

... Sooo?

[Explain plz.]

private;

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

So he's a massive hypocrite! And that's all I have to say on the matter. Now I'm angry again. Thanks a lot.

private;

[batmanschmatman]

Sorry, I was just... confused.

private;

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

You wouldn't get it anyway.

private;

[batmanschmatman]

You don't know that until you explain.
