ahoy there sparky!

i'm feeling kind of spooked out tonight. i don't really like it. and the episodes of Veronica Mars that i watched didn't really help any. i REALLY didn't like seeing the school bus after it was brought up from the dive it took off the cliff. (there was a school bus crash) that was disturbing to see the bus all crushed and broken. it reminded me of the scene (that i hate) in The Dark Knight when we see the fire engine ablaze. that also really disturbs me every time i see it.

the other part in Veronica Mars that i really didn't like (and made me teary) was when they opened up the closet to find the girl sitting there. WOW that was freaky. and HORRIBLE. omg i hated that. (it was a child abuse case)

tough stuff tonight.

but man do i love Keith Mars. he reminds me of someone and i can never figure out who. he's such a great guy!

in other news...let's see. i took a nap today. i got off work at 5:30pm. came upstairs. called my mom. had a bowl of cereal. talked to kerianne on the phone for a while! i hadn't talked to her since ireland! and then i got off the phone and after some texting to kara i said, i think i'll take a nap. and so i slept from 8pm to 9:35.

then i went downstairs to check in. all is well.

and! this is great news for me - i DO NOT have to wake up early ANYMORE! our resident who i was getting up for schoo with, is no longer going to school at that early hour! AND, there will now be an 8am staff coming in everyday, meaning i don't have to cover 8-9am.

i know this was a few extra hours a week that i was picking up. but it just made sleeping so weird. or, weirder than it already is for me.

today in birthing class we were talking about newborn sleep schedules. and the staff who teaches the class, also named Julie, was saying that newborns tend to be more awake at night, and sleep during the day. and sometimes it takes a little while to get them on a "normal" schedule.

so, i asked her why this was. and she gave us her own theory, and that's because before a baby is born, many women say that the baby is most active at nighttime, and there is less movement during the day. Julie thinks this is because when a mother is up and walking around, the baby inside is like, being swayed and rocked as they move around. so, it puts them to sleep.

but when the mother say, lays down to go to sleep, the movment stops, and the baby wakes up.

she also said that babies don't usually like bright lights or loud noises, so they go to sleep during the day and prefer to be awake at night because it takes them a while to realize that dark means sleep and light means awake.

and i thought to myself, "wow. i am just like a newborn baby!" sleep during the day. awake at night. either a newborn or a vampire. but i also don't like bright lights and loud noises. i also thought to myself, "i wonder how long it takes a baby to realize that dark means sleep and light means awake? does it take, say, 23 years?"

so, while on the phone with my mom tonight i asked her what my sleeping schedules were like when i was a newborn. and she replied with, "oh, you were up all the time." apparently i never wanted to go to sleep. until i was about 10 weeks old, and then i started sleeping in longer amounts of time.

but my mom said that i have always had trouble sleeping and my sleep schedule has always been messed up, even since i was a baby.

IN CONCLUSION, it's currently 3am and i am officially self-diagnosing myself with DSPS. or, delayed sleep phase syndrome. it occurs in about 3 out of 2000 people.

yep. there it is. i read through it all and pretty much everything sounds about right. here are some of the jobs people with DSPS would be good at:

"security work, work in theater, the entertainment industry, hospitality work in restaurants, hotels or bars, call center work, nursing, taxi or truck driving, the media, and freelance writing, translation, IT work, or medical transcription."

medical transcription!! taxi driving! call centers!! i have found my calling. um, but please notice the first: security work. like, my dream job to be a security guard at a major hollywood studio lot? YEP. although, i bet you see the most celebs in the daytime. CRAP.

also! i've been meaning to tell you about this other job that i think i want to have. OK, so you know how if you buy a tv series on dvd the episodes are split up over a certain amount of discs? right. and you know how they always leave the super big cliff hangers for the last episode on the disc? I WANT TO BE THE GUY who decides where to leave the viewers hanging!

be like, "yeah, make this episode the last one. that'll kill them!" UGH. person who decides that - i hate you, but i want to be you. it MUST be a person. i don't think they just break it down by simple math. 4 episodes per disc, over 6 discs, at 45 minutes at episode.....or whatever. NO!! there must be some.....Cliffhanger Conspiracy. yes! that's what i'll do my freelance writing about. the Cliffhanger Conspiracy.

what was the other conspiracy book i was going to write? ah yes,

The Shutter Island Scandal and the Effect is Has on the Future of the Academy Awards as it is related to American Cinema today.

Hollywood Scandels and the American Public.

wow, that's like, three books. i'll write books about made up hollywood scandels that i invent in my head while i cannot sleep due to my sleep disorder. great! bestseller!

the entry about the Shutter Island scandel was the entry where i layed out my plan to become president. of both the country, and "the academy."

doesn't hurt to dream big, am i right?

what else can i tell you.

i was in Hartford, Vermont today, which is a place that technically i have never been too. i'll tell you why this is 'technically.' BECAUSE, the creepiest and more curious town in the whole world, White River Junction, VT, is a little town INSIDE Hartford, Vermont. and, i have been to WRJ, but never actually been to the outside town of Hartford.

so actually, maybe i have technically been to Hartford. or, i technically haven't. ??? i don't know.

EITHER WAY, i went there today. and i had never been there before. and to get to the place i was going, you had to drive past this motel. The Shady Lawn Motel. we drove past it and all i could say was, "wooowwww....look at that place.." it looks like the creepiest place in the world. the name of the motel, is featured on stilts built onto the roof. it's amazing.

and, you just kind of come upon this place. it's like, we were driving down this tiny vermont road, with leaves blowing in the streets and all these cute country houses. and then there's this place! crazy.

and then! even better than this place - is the highway overpass that pretty much runs above it. you probably can't tell from those pictures on the website. there are the most giant overpasses i have ever seen in my life. they were probably like, 15 stories in the air. again, out of nowhere.

and then after this brief creeper section of road, it returned to it's normal cute country image.

so strange.

Vermont, however awesome it may be, is kind of a strange place. odd happenings in vermont are no surprise to me. and hey, we love them for that, right?

anyways. it was very blustery today. and cold. but now i am hott. my feet are really hott and i have them in front of the air conditioner. it feels really nice.

Ruby just woke up from her little snooze. she'll have something to eat now and then go back to sleep when i do. which, will be soon. it's 3:36am.

i had a nice nap. it was even nicer because i kept forgetting to hit snooze, so the alarm would go off like, 4 times. then it would stop for ten minutes. then go off 4 times. repeat. because i had my cell phone alarm clock instead of my normal ipod one. and, it plays my ringtone, which is West Coast. it was nice. i got to hear the chorus like, 80 times. because i had originally set my alarm for 8:40pm. but, didn't actually get up until 9:35pm. eh, that's okay.

tomorrow night i have Freaks and Geeks. and then the next night more VM. what a great week!

ok. i can't tell if i'm getting tired. but i think i'll go to bed. i'm working wednesday night 3:30-10pm. same on thursday. i'm happy because i am working with Courtney both nights. and the intern Jamie will also be there. she's really nice too. from Colby Sawyer.

alright friends! what have you been up to??? anything fun and exciting? or, everything fun and exciting??

have a great mid-week!!!! talk to you all later!
