::I'm actually quite pleasant until I'm awake:::

You guessed it...another bit of insomnia. It always happens when I'm supposed to open at work. Some sadistic part of my brain says "she's supposed to be up early, so let's keep her up all night...muahahahahahah!" So now I'm sipping some extra stout coffee and have abandoned any thoughts of sleep. 1.15 hours of sleep is just not enough. Better to stay up than get to sleep and wake up to the damned, obnoxious alarm clock.

Let's see, what's new....?

Jason left on wednesday to head back to Benning. Jason took him out there, and they are staying with his cousin's, Charlotte and Alan. They are nice people. We stayed with them when we went to Alabama.

Jason will be leaving for Germany soon I think. I wasn't really expecting it honestly. I kind of thought (or perhaps hoped) they would end up giving him a state-side post. *for a moment ponders if state-side should really be hyphenated...shrugs*

After Jason being home for a while, it seems quiet with both him and Jason gone. (egads, having two Jason's is confusing...O_o)

Work has been going pretty good. I finally got full-time, and they moved me to special services. I like it, though it's hard adjusing to a new position. I'm used to knowing everything, and though I like a challenge, it's hard for me to have to ask so many questions.
My first few days I felt like I was more of a hindrance than a help. They are all really nice, and seem to think I am catching on fairly quick.

The past few days I've been reading alot. That and working on the story at the Tomb.

http://www.geocities.com/tombofthelastheroes

It's a Yahoo (may it reside in the 43rd level of the abyss forever..amen) dragonlance group. It's basically a series of ongoing stories.
I really enjoy it. I've been doing it for about 2 1/2 years. There are alot of talented writers who participate, and it helps me to be more creative.

But I digress...though from what I'm not sure. My thoughts tend to be a jumbled mess when I don't sleep, and I babble alot. (newsflash..heh)

And now, since I lack anything better to do...

Recent books:
Avalon, by Anya Seton

Fire Sea: Deathgate Cycle, by Hickman and Weis

Serpent Mage: Deathgate Cycle, by H&W

Movies:
Vanilla Sky (just weird O_o)

Hackers (I must be the only peron alive who hasn't seen this movie until now)

Kung Pow: Enter the Fist (funniest damn movie I've seen since Holy Grail)

and

Lord of the Rings (again..and again ^_^)
And I just want to say that seeing the characters from LotR out of makeup and or costume is really odd. Legolas has a mowhawk!? Pretty damn funny if you ask me. The previews for the Two Towers looks absolutely amazing. *can't wait*

CRAP! 1 hour before I have to get ready for work. It's NOT FAIR! *stamps 'er feet* (okay, so I'm a little brat when I don't get any sleep...it's gonna be a long day) What I want to know is why the hell do I got so damn tired when I've been wide awake up to this point.
I need a vacation. *urfs*

Anyway, I guess I'll go take a cold shower to wake up. Maybe fix a sandwhich for lunch. yeah...
