The Long Road

12/04/2006 Archived Entry: "I'm so screwed up!"

More than usual, I mean.

After getting up at 6-7am China-time for 3 weeks, my hours in Ontario are all out of whack. I've been waking at 6, 5, even 4am for the last week and crashing around 6pm and going to bed around 11pm. Add to this my new dedication to staying away from coffee (drinking expensive green tea, instead) and I've been living a really strange week.

It's gotten so bad that while watching the 10pm showing of The Fountain, a movie I've been anticipating for YEARS, I made the conscious decision to close my eye and take a nap. Luckily, the movie was engrossing enough that I didn't manage to sleep and was awake to be thoroughly confounded by its ending.

Will I ever go back to normal? Is this the shape of things to come? Is this it for Dota? Will my friends on the Pacific coast no longer have an Ontarian to talk to at all hours of the night? Come back next week, same bat-time, same bat-channel to find out!

Oh no! No more DOTA!?!

You sound like The Machinist...soon you'll be hanging with imaginary friends.

Don't worry Thai...you'll be back to your old self-destructing behaviour in no time :) Dota and all...but perhaps your imaginary friends will still creep their ways into your life regardless of how much sleep you get :P
