say it like ya' mean it

WHY can't i get to bed at a reasonable hour AND when my body is clearly telling me it is tired?? i just barely made it to work on time today and my ass is dragging big-time. i'm supposed to go walking tonight, but i don't know how i'm gonna manage.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
paranoia is high here. i am hearing more sirens than normal, and it gets me all stressed out. last night, ALL night, i heard this loud, low, mechanical rumbling sound. it wasn't coming from the highway or airport, as it was constant, not moving. i don't think it's anyone's air conditioner. it reminds me of helicopters, but i know it's not. sleep-robbing and stress-causing mystery sounds do not make for a happy crazylady.

a famous warrior on a public hill who doesn't have a f*cking clue about her ancestors?!

i share a last name with a famous athlete, perfume and opera singer. oh, and i was named after dad's HS sweetheart after mom was convinced i would be a boy (see #5), and then due to complications during my birth, she had to be knocked out cold. i had no idea that they were so spiteful *rolling eyes*
