My kingdom for sleep. zzzzz

[thistlechaser]

I have no idea what's going on with my so-called sleep lately. I "sleep" for 10-15 minutes then wake up for 20. Over and over and over again. Stay asleep, stupid brain! I'm tired! Three nights of this so far!

FFXI: I've made up for all my good COR parties. Tonight's had every single sign of a bad party:

1) Drunk puller.
2) lol drinking iz funz! The whole party talked about how much they drank, how cool it was, etc.
3) No tank. 'lol sam cn tank'. The taru SAM with level 10 armor. She died the first fight.
4) When we eventually got a NIN he alternated between talking about drinking (supposedly his mother told him he had to drink a whole bottle of something or she'd throw it out) and going AFK to take care of his daughter. o.O
5) Fart jokes. By the end of the night, fart jokes/comments were in say and emote for pulls, WSs, etc. I was ready to stab people.
6) One guy asked me by /tell if I knew where he could buy drugs.

Unfortunately it was this party or nothing. There were no other parties formed in our range and only one to two other DDs seeking the whole time. Somehow I clawed my way to getting one whole level with them. Three hours for less than 3K XP. Ended the night at COR 23. Had hoped to hit 24 so I could get out of there and go to the Jungle, but in the end it was me leaving the party or screaming at the idiots.

Plus a Besieged was about to happen! Yay! One early this morning and one late tonight. After not catching them for so long I'm suddenly getting lots! I might switch and start going as DRK again, BRDing (mostly curing) is getting boring.

Chocobo racing was introduced to the game today. As expected, it does nothing for me (to me, it's about as exciting as watching cars or horses race). Other than picking the plan before the race, you do nothing, just sit back and watch. I didn't get a great screenshot of the one time I tried, mostly because I didn't take many shots. The racing bird I trained long ago won!

From a few days ago: Besieged: Near loss. Fighting in the Hall.

While the RL part of me twitches every single time I think this: I love love love my COR gun so much! Guns are so cool! (*twitch twitch*) It's so darned satisfying shooting things! (*TWITCH TWITCH*) I really boggle at me being able to think/type those statements. I don't want to hurt/shoot/kill anything RL. :/ (Edit: Oops, I should say that the party in that screenshot is NOT the bad party from tonight.)

Totally by chance, I got my soonest-login-ever after maintence.

I was the 13th person on the server! I stopped and got gas on the way home, changed, got a drink, checked the answering machine, then sat down thinking it would be too early to get on. Heh!

And lastly, I should have asked for a million gil or to be COR 75 or something better:


Tomorrow is Nz-whatever Assault (just two tags), then I'll probably XP COR (because I suck at moderation even more than I suck at not getting lost).

Have you ever been diagnosed for Fibromyalgia, the fatigue & pain syndrome? I have it, and one of the main things is the inability to maintain a deep sleep. I've not slept for over an hour without waking up in YEARS.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Huh, nope. But I generally don't have random pain. When I'm fatigued, it's for a "reasonable" reason (not sleeping). So that's a good guess, but I suspect it's not it. :/

Gah, I am sorry to hear that. I can't imagine what you have to do to stay sane...

I am a notorious light sleeper, too. But even so I don't get interrupted to that extent. Not even remotely.

I don't really like for people to feel bad for me and what not, but it is pretty bad with how much my back/knees/arms hurt on top of my lack of sleep. I just lay in the bed and ache, takes me forever to fall asleep, and when I finally do fall asleep, I will just wake up at random or at the slightest sound. Air kicking on, heat kicking on, doors closing or opening, toilets flushing, I'll wake up to about any of that... I've woke up to hearing my mother snoring through my door, the living room, and her door, haha.

Out of curiousity, what happens when you're deprived of sleep for a few days?

I've been a light sleeper for years- mostly paranoia. I've woken up and thrown knives at people who entered my room without knocking or other announcement of arrival. Once upon a time, I was diagnosed with acute paranoid personality disorder (not the delusional/schizophrenic kind), so slept lately because I wasn't sure my roommate wasn't trying to kill me. Those thoughts still pop up, though I have much better control and understanding of their origins now.

sleep deprivation for me = more bitchy than usual (and I'm already quite the bitchy one). really, I am the type who could lay down at any time because I constantly stay tired, I can just never fall sleep or wake up 10 times per sleep session..

I'll stop cluttering up thistle's LJ with nonsense though lol

No worries, it's all good! :)

I really do like your 75BRD outfit. It's very stylish. ^^

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

That's only because you're a DRG. My shoes do piercing damage, that's what's attracting ya.

Should have offered to sell the drug guy some hydrocyanic acid. Technically, that's a drug.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Heh! That'd be amusing.
