So my story dropped in the rankings on wattpad, but watcha gonna do? the correlation between comments and votes is hard to understand. Its funny to think that when comments feel so important, that in actuality it might be the votes that are. Oh well. Regardless, the bright side it: I have had tons of reads, and awesome feedback! Which has been greatly appreciated. I haven't had the time to write today because, well, I had to catch up on life! My friends know I write but I don't think they realize how much time I would rather be devoting to it. Ha. Well, it was good catching up with friends, making dinner, drinking whipped cream vodka, and YES: playing donkey kong.

I want to give the time my story deserves but I am also eager to get it out there -but ah yes! Patience is a virtue, so i am told.

This past week has been absolutely dreadful due to the fact I have not been able to sleep. I have been only managing to fall into a restless sleep at 2AM and then wake up at 6AM from tossing and turning for 4 hours. It has been terrible since I love sleeping (like, its one of my most favorite things to do. Seriously). BUT NOW...after a little SoCal remedy I am eager to climb into bed, anticipating a wonderfully calm, fulfilling sleep. I feel it... The soldiers that are the hours of sleep lost wandering The Valley of Rumination, have been released from their ivory tower within my cavernous brain, cast away to be free and live out their lives fulfilling their mission through my passage unto slumberland, but don't forget to pay the toll. The sandman is waiting like the troll under the bridge. Think hard for his riddle will surely test you. Only the worthy shall pass....what the fuck just happened?
