Kidney stone pain, the taste of stale donuts, and the knowledge that my body wants me to go back to sleep... that's what I've got right now. So why am I up at noon, onlin before 12:30?

'Cos I'm tired of missing Alex, mostly. I would also like to catch a few other people online, most of whom seem to show up at exactly the times I am trying to sleep.

However, being insanely tired, I am tempted (as often happens) to go back to bed.

Today, I will resist temptation.

Tomorrow? Who knows... *grin*

I got a letter from a friend, an 'open letter to a terrorist'... full of threats and violence and talk of nukes... gods. I thought I knew her. Nope... apparently not. This is nuts. Why do people seem so determined to start a war?
