Can't sleep. Clown'll eat me.

As I start this post, it's 2:30am Sunday. I've been awake since 7am Saturday. That's 19.5 hours of awakeness, with probably another 15 ahead--or more. Why, you ask? Well, I'll tell you.

I've gotten into that mood again. The mood where I want to be in a relationship. When I put down my book at around 9:30 to try to sleep, I started thinking about which one of the awesome women at Veritas I would want to ask out. Why my mind seemed to want to make this decision when I'm trying to sleep, I don't know. Anyway, I'm no closer to an answer on that than I was when I started. I ended that thinking at around 12:30 with "It doesn't really matter anyway. I'm not at a very good point in my life to be thinking about a relationship."

Well, my mind didn't want to let me sleep, so it simply changed the problem it would focus on. At that point, I started worrying about the upcoming move. Mostly because I have about 30 hours less than I had thought when I made plans. I had thought I only had to be out by noon on the 27th. Nope. 7am on the 26th. And I hadn't heard back from my mom about her helping out--and her boyfriend is the one with the truck, so the big stuff would not be easy without them. So I was running through my list of friends (and their vehicles) trying to figure out who would have a truck and might have spare time. At 2, I got up with my only intention being to complain about not being able to sleep on Facebook. It was then that I got the response from my mom. She couldn't make it on the days I had asked her about--the 25th and 26th. She would have to come two days before that. I told her that would be great, then completed my task of complaining about being awake at 2am, and decided to get off the computer.

However, as I've mentioned before, I wake up easily. Even though I hadn't really slept, just coming out to get on my computer was enough to get my "second wind" of wakefulness. So I gave up on sleep and hopped in the shower, before coming back out here.

So why would I be awake for the next 15 hours? Well, church setup starts in about 3 hours. Even though I'm not on the schedule, my roommate is, so I'll go to avoid having to ask someone for a ride--it's just easier to me that way. Then there's the band practice, where I'll probably just mess around on my iPod or read the bible. After that is church, then teardown. And of course, at 1:45 this afternoon--which will be shortly after teardown ends--the USA Women's soccer team plays in the World Cup Final.

Anyway, it's now 3am, and being awake for 20 hours really makes a guy hungry. But before I go, one last note: my longest awake streak stands at about 32 hours. I'll probably beat that today, but we'll see.
