I function perfectly well without sleep.

I function perfectly well without sleep.

no, seriously.

okay, so i am not much of a night person (though im CERTAINLY not a morning person).
so im rarely up past midnight, which is when i just....drop.

it is 3:30 AM now.

i got tired, then more tired, then less tired, then not tired at all. like, zero coffee, zero soda or sugar, but i feel like i am ready for tomorrow without even closing my eyes.

why am i so late you ask?

well, my cousin is coming to town!
you know how in class, teachers sometimes ask you to write a paper or something about your role model, the person you look up to?

well my cousin is my role model.

i mean, i don't really respect my parents enough, and few other people fit the bill.

she just graduated from college in as a film major.

she is fluent in Chinese.

she already has a job working for Sony.

you know the TV series Elementary? yeah, that's her.

shes one of the few people that i can honestly love her, that i look forward to seeing her whenever shes over.
unfortunately, i usually try to impress her, which generally makes he look like an idiot.

so im just sitting here, watching a horror thing on Netflix, texting my relationship hopeless friend, eating raspberries, and typing this.

Nirvana.

no way would i be allowed to do this if my parents were 'here.'

you see, if im not a night person, then both my parents are REALLY not night people.

so im on cousin watching duty while they sleep.

AND IM STILL. NOT. TIRED.


UPDATE

so she came.

perhaps she forgot to mention that she was also coming with her boyfriend and two Czech friends who speak limited English.

-_-

im supposed to be their tour guide tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes.

im going to try to get some sleep.

(but im not tired)


UPDATE AGAIN

its only about 8 in the morning right now, so i got maybe five hours of sleep, but i just woke up and couldn't go back to sleep.

UGH.

at least I knw those future high school all-nighters will be easy.

i actually did my homework at around 2:30, so.

 I'm going to a Labor Day thing with some OTHER people who came out of town to visit us, so I'll be on my way.

Thank you all for reading (all four of you) and have a wonderful Labor Day.
