So, here it is, almost 5 in the morning and I can't sleep again.  I didn't have any caffeine after about 10, cleaned the house, worked on some writing.  Yet, I can't sleep.  Some days, I feel just like my dermis-lacking friend in the picture.  Mmmm, brains...

I have run on the idea that my insomnia stems from stress, but I don't have a ton of that right now either.  I guess some days, I am not really meant to sleep a whole lot.  I have a lot of thoughts running through my head; where I am, where I am going in the future.  I am really looking forward to the summer winding down and fall weather setting in.  It's always a great time of year.  Halloween isn't far around the corner, and I have plenty of plans to keep me occupied.  School starts in a week, and I am excited for that as well.  Not nervous, just excited.

I was going through my old saved files from Word tonight, and I ran across a letter written to a very good friend of mine... well, good friend once upon a time.  We had a lot in common, everything from our stand on the paranormal, family, life, love.  We are both writers, and although his stems from another of his hobbies, he creates incredible flash fiction, poetry and long, languorous stories when the mood strikes.  He used to keep a blog, but he no longer does so.  I haven't talked to him in almost two years, as our friendship kind of... well, basically crashed and burned.  I'm missing our late night conversations tonight, the way he used to make me constantly be on my toes just to keep up with what was going on.  I guess that's also got me thinking, mostly about lost connections.

Brain going 90 miles an hour...mmmm brains.....

Anyone else up this late, and if so, what keeps you awake?
