Valentines and Sleeping Habits
I think the most annoying thing about Valentines Day, is that people get annoyed with it (contradiction..?). Granted I agree it’s just another commercialized holiday, and that if you’re going to do something special with/for someone, it should be all the time, not just one day a year. But I don’t really understand why people get so depressed around Valentines Day. Christmas/Yule I can understand, because that’s supposed to be more of a family thing, but I don’t really get Valentines. It might be because I consider all of my friends my Valentines, and spent it with them. I guess people just get lonely. So go out and have fun 
Watched Braveheart last night. Man….., if I ever do get signed, I am definitely having a house in Scotland.
My friend Borlak and I were talking about sleeping patterns today. Apparently I listen when I sleep. Like every morning when my dad lets my dog loose, and then he leaves to go to this country restaurant to hang out with some old farmers, I listen, even while sleeping, to make sure my dog isn’t getting into anything. If I hear his toenails on the kitchen floor, I know he might get into some food, so I get up. If I don’t hear him barking for a length of time, I get paranoid he might have gotten out, so I get up. And this morning, I heard a loud thump outside, and since it’s icey, I thought my dad might have fallen, so I got up.
It’s probably nice to be able to do that for safety reasons, but it really fucks up my sleeping.
Also, and apparently a lot of people do this, if I’m really excited or anxious about getting up at a certain time the next day, like a job interview or something, my body will actually wake itself up without an alarm clock. Or if I do set the alarm, it’ll wake up just before it goes off. Again useful, but annoying, because I’m one of those people that likes the sacred extra minute or two of sleeping.

i don’t get depressed; i just get bitter. why? because all the focus is on couples; and if you’re a singleton like me, you can get quite jaded. *nod*

My issue with Valentine’s day.. it’s just another commerical holiday with -WAY- too much hype. This applies to those attached and non.. I wholly agree with the don’t just focus on one day to do something special.. make ever yday special idea.
Scotland.. woo-ha. Maybe we’ll be neighbours one day.
