Insomnia is a bitch.
Jan. 16th, 2006 03:41 am3:30 in the morning and I can't sleep. Might be the three orgasms I had. Who knows. Or it could be the fact that I slept in till 1:30 and then had another nap from 5:30 to about 7:30. My sleeping is all screwed up. I usually sleep when I'm in pain. I was up really late on Saturday night, so that didn't help.
The other thing is that the Muse is with me. I'm feeling creative. It's poking me, poking, poking, poking. The Muse wants me to make something really good. Something I can be really proud of. It's something big and I'm as fidgety as a kid on his first day at school.
I might tool around on the computer a bit, then go sketch for a while. Don't know if I'll do much - I'm too tired for that. God I hate this state - too awake to sleep, to tired to actualy DO anything. Finished the book on the Kings and Queens of England. That was a good read, I enjoyed it. Pity it only went up to 2002, cause it ended on a rather sombre note, and I think Prince William and Prince Harry have lifted the public image just a tad. It helps that millions of British girls want to have randy sex with them. Instead it was all, "Australia nearly got rid of the monarchy. Di died and everyone hated the Royals and blamed it on them, and Mag and the Old Mum bought the farm. Bit of a shit time of it for Liz II, really." I think, in the face of such huge societal, economic and political changes, the British Monarchy has done pretty well.
I'm not even sure why I like the monarchy so much. Maybe it's the old romantic in me, loving the fact that an institution over a thousand years old still goes on. Maybe it's my Mum's upbringing, when in my youth there was a poster on the wall of a portrait of the royal family. Or maybe I just relate to a woman with more bling than she knows what to do with. Who knows. I just accept it. Then again, I'm pretty laid back about the whole thing because it doesn't really directly affect me. Those living in Britain, where the Monarchy actually might have some sort of impact on the way things are, might have a vastly different opinion to me.
Mainly, I enjoyed the bit where the King of Scotland was the King of England too. I could just hear ol' Longshanks spinning like a lathe in his grave at that point. Giggle-fest!
And a hello to Tom Povey. I love you, poofta.
