I went tubing on the river today. It was ridiculously fun. I was there with six of my friends. We giggled and acted silly. Then we went down the tube chute a bunch of times. It was fun. My current (I don't really know how to refer to him... Crush? Squish? I dunno... I like him, for one reason or another, just leave it at that, okay?) was there, and we had a lot of fun together. We even went down the tube chute together, holding onto each other's tubes. It made me feel good.
Although it kinda felt like he liked one of my other friends, and was merely indulging my wishes. I dunno what to feel about that.
But he also has put me in charge of getting him to do stuff with the group when he's back in town (he's going off to college in exactly a week, dunno how I feel about that). I'm getting a lot of mixed signals from this guy... But I really am interested in him. I just want to hug him and cuddle with him all the time. It's weird. I never want to hug people. And I just want to wrap my arms around him, and pull him really close and smell his scent (I identify people by their smells, and I think he'd smell really warm and... nice). I think I'm going to have to start talking to him over Facebook. But he's definitely the person who I am most afraid of talking to... What if he couldn't give a fuck about me, and totally ignored me? Yes, I know I'm now getting into the "what if" spiral, but that's how my brain works, so leave me alone...
We actually have a lot in common. He reads all the same books as I do. We watch the same TV shows. It's perfect, right?
Ugh. I dunno. I'm scared of failure, so I'll probably never try to see what he thinks about me...

Heh. This turned from a "what I did today; blah, blah, blah" post into a "I'm gonna talk about the guy I'm interested in" post. Haha...
Oh... I'm such a teenage girl... ^^;;;;

Last night I didn't sleep (not really because I wanted to, but because I just couldn't for some reason). Once the clock hit 6am, I just gave up on trying and decided that being awake was an acceptable alternative. That worked out fine for quite a while. I felt nice and awake, and I even rekindled some of my lost joy of reading books. I reread most of a book to see if it could hold my attention for long. It did. I felt so happy knowing that I hadn't completely lost all interest in books, and that it was merely that the Internet got in the way of my focus. I miss reading dearly, so I may actually start cutting down on my Internet time to try to give me some more time to read in peace. That'll be an even harder goal than trying to keep up with writing here. And might possibly make that goal harder to reach... Hmmm... Dilemma.

However, that was not actually why I was going to write this post. I kinda got off on a tangent (it just clicked for me on why it's called getting off on a tangent, but I'm not getting off on that, because that would be yet another tangent to get off on...) there. I was going to talk about how I seem to have found the limit to how long I can stay awake before my body decides it can't take any more. I appear to only be able to handle 24hrs. Which is weird. I know people who can stay up way longer than that and still be fine. However, I have slept for 24+hrs before, as well, which is kinda an oddity in and of itself (the time that I did that, I ended up going for ~40hrs without food, because I was awake at all the wrong times, and my dad didn't try to wake me when he cooked for himself and my brother (please don't judge my family based off of this... they generally don't try to wake me because I am hard to wake up, not because they're cruel and don't want to feed me... I sleep very soundly, and rarely wake up for reasons other than my body decides that it's time to wake up, which usually takes ~12hrs before it decides it's sated).

Haha... Look at all that rambling. I think that I've said more than enough for the day.

Thanks to aceeccentric I have an epic way to introduce myself and talk a little about myself without being the complete fail that I am when it comes to talking about myself. If that statement made complete and utter sense to you, congratulations, your brain works like mine (possibly not a good thing).

*giggle* That was fun! I hope that if you read that, you got to learn a little bit about me.
If you managed to see this before I fixed my technology fail, please don't think I'm completely incompetent... I'm just forgetful, okay?
