nnyI need someone to tell me to sleep, occasionally.
More than that, 'cos I'm an argumentative sod. I need someone to make me sleep, occasionally. I'm tired of being aware that I'm making myself miserable.
Sometimes it's good to think about things, and some things there's nothing you can do to change, so you're better off just not thinking about them. And the more time I spend awake, the more time I have to think.
Because in Inuktitut, 'Alone' isn't a descriptive, it's a verb. It's not
something one IS, it is something one DOES. To be alone - to make oneself
alone. And verbs in Inuktatut always require a subject. No infinitive, no
way to say just 'alone'. No impersonal construction, no way to say 'one is
alone'. No way to talk about 'alone' without identifying the who:
kissimi 'he's alone'; kissipi 'you're alone' - kissima 'I'm alone', 'I make
myself alone'.
From 'Alone is a Verb' by Otsoko.
And yes, thank you. I'm aware I'm being melodramatic.
I told you, I'm tired.

If, on the other hand, you have slept, consider this message a report that people have been giggling lots and lots over the Edmund-Aziraphael-Kitty(-Derry) thread. Because they have been. So. That's good!
*hugs you more*

Date: 2005-06-11 02:48 pm (UTC)This is you and me both I'm talking about.
I can tell from your mood when you haven't slept enough. It's plain as day.
And I'm sure you've been able to tell from my moods the last seven or eight months too.
If you want me to, I'll poke you about it.
