open all night: the aftermath.

you may remember that i wrote a post yesterday, wherein i was quite excited and high from the eureka moments i experienced in staying up all night.

i was blissful. so much so that i pulled out the dusty flat iron, and did my hair! that's right. my hair is long enough to do such things to it. also, i allowed vanessa to photograph me in a booby tanktop, playing my guitar, badly. she makes me look like a guitar player, however, because of her skills of an artist.

and ginger came over, and we rocked the stifling afternoon with bloody marys and wine, the latter of which i drank too much. of course. everyone knows i wouldn't touch a bloody mary (b.m.) with a 10 foot pole.

naturally, my manic, loud self annoyed an equally sleep deprived helen, who was only awake so early yesterday for schoolful reasons. she retreated to the green muse for a very long time. and i had to apologize with tail between my legs. yes. i was loud. you were sleeping. i am sorry.

night fell once again, and though i was beyond exhausted, i couldn't fall asleep. brain was on. mind was racing. tummy was grumbly. and so i munched on some crackers and hummus, chatted with vee and lawrence, and played with my pictures.

as one o'clock came around, one of my nostrils stopped working. oh no. not a cold. it's too hot for a cold, i thought. so i went to bed. and slept for a very long time.

now, it's thursday afternoon. i can breathe, but i've got a fever. and my eyes burn. ah, crap.

let this be a public service announcement: eight hours' sleep, every night, is conducive to good health. skipping a night may result in languishing with a cold in one hundred degree heat.

(but i'm still gonna write that book.)
