insomnia

So, I've been on a bit of a Stephen King thing lately. I found one of his books in the Free Book Box at the beach this summer and realized it had been a good 13 years or so since I read his stuff and needed some good summer reading. I had forgotten how much I like his writing style and how insane his imagination is so I got on a bit of an S.K. tangent.

Tonight I have insomnia. It's 4:16am and I've been wide-the-hell awake since 3am.

Ironically enough, the book I'm reading by S.K. right now is called Insomnia and about...you guessed it....not being able to sleep.

The main character, poor guy, starts getting on this pattern of going to bed and then waking up at 3am, 2am...1am...and that's it--he's done for the night. Eventually he starts hallucinating [or maybe not--tbd] people's auras which would be a really cool skill to have.

Happy people have pink or white or yellow glows around them--evil people have black auras...angry people flicker green or red.

I'm staring at Michia [the cat] sleeping on the floor and she seemingly does not have one. Just a lot of fur. If she did have one, it would probably be Orange. With Stripes.

Maybe I need some more sleeplessness. I'll see what happens by Sunday.
