sleep is for wimps

Halp!! I have once again failed at sleeping. I'm trying to stay awake until at least early evening so I can try and knock myself back on some kind of schedule that makes sense. But I'm TIRED. Need distractions. Talk to me. About anything. Please?

Possible random topics of conversation from the slush pile of thoughts currently in my head:

1. Eleventy and his faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace. I have not had a good squee fest about my Eleventy in forever (in part due to pure jealousy that I still haven't been able to see his appearance on Sarah Jane). I love him you guys. Still. Always. I have such great reserves of love stored up that he could probably kick a puppy in the Christmas special and my first reaction would be to assume the puppy was evil. Except even if the puppy was evil he wouldn't kick it. He'd be sad the puppy was evil and find a way to redeem it so it could travel with him, and take it for playdates with K9 an then the (formerly) evil puppy would somehow be key in defeating aliens and we'd all learn a Valuable Lesson about being kind to evil puppies.

2. Driving on ice. Last night I managed to get stuck at the bottom of a grade with no traction and then wedged against a tree when I tried to back up and had to hike all the way back down to the main house so my sister in law could come push my car with her jeep to get it out. WTF? How have icy roads/hills betrayed you?

3. The second Nightmare On Elm Street movie is fucking awful. And not awful in the way that some of the others are, in which I still love them despite their flaws. Awful in that it doesn't fit at all and doesn't even...like, the rest of them have moments that mash on my buttons hard even when they are ridiculous. The second one? I hate it. I made myself rewatch it when I was clipping for the vid and I resented every second of it.

4. Are you working on anything fannishly? Are you having fun with it? I am still chipping away at my festivid. It is going slower than I thought it would when I got my assignment, but I think I am making actual progress. And trying to remember that every vid has that point where you are staring at chunks of the timeline that you haven't figured out what to do with yet and it always feels like there is NO SOLUTION, and there always is a solution, and then you feel downright silly for declaring that you are giving up vidding forever in favor of knitting, because now the timeline is full and you MADE A VID and hey, there's this idea and a song...

5. Choose Your Own Adventure. Not the books, though damn did I love those things when I was 8, and I should totally get some for my niece and nephew, and if you want to pimp your favorites that you think I should get for them, that's cool. Just, I meant...whatever topic is on your mind.

via brynnmck OMFG THERE MIGHT BE A HEADSTONES REUNION CONCERT? IN FEBRUARY? WHAT? CANT. BREATHE.

I must be there. This is coming at an absolute crap time in terms of my being able to be there. EXCUSE ME WHILE MY HEAD EXPLODES.

::hyperventilates and flails::

YOU GUYS.

::shakes entire f'list until you have whiplash::

YOU GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUYS!!!

HUGH. HEADSTONES.

(no, I did not make it the entire day without sleeping, but I think now that it is a good thing and my body realized I needed some cushion to deal with this)
