Cleo opened her eyes at 5:44 PM My apologies for not posting before now. School and life have been hectic, to say the least. Valentine's had its moments, game has been interesting, and Mardi Gras last night was a blast (I ended up with four strands of beads.) To make up for my tardiness, a recent study found that aromatherapy can helpm you sleep, even affect your dreams. Scents like chamomile and lavender are calming and relaxing (place a spritz on your pillow or light a candle in your room), while essences like ginger or eucalyptus stimulate your brain's imaging cortex and cause vivid, vibrant dreams. Try it out and let me know how it works for you; my zonkboard should be up soon. Til next post. Cleo opened her eyes at 5:37 PM Friday, February 13, 2004 while I love Friday the 13th, my joy is tainted by the pink tinted horror and impending doom that is Valentine's Day (dubbed by my hallmates as Singles' Awareness Day). A day for card companies to exploit all lonelyhearts and a time to gorge yourself on chocolate and sappy chick flicks. oh how I have come to despise the red and pink menace that is February the 14th. and yet hope springs eternal for this hopeless romantic, in the form of friends and new acquaintances, a secret admirer and smashing party invite, and a huge Hershey's kiss. if you have someone to share the day with, do it and enjoy by all means. to my fellow single slumber- seekers, I offer this advice for surviving tomorrow: take a hot bath or long shower, eat a turkey sandwich for dinner, make a banana split for dessert, get some chocolate, watch a movie you love or listen to a soothing cd, and relax; treat yourself- you deserve it. (and there's enough trytophan in those collective foods to knock you out if you're in the mood... for sleep. *winks*) sweet dreams be yours, if dreams there be... til next post. Cleo opened her eyes at 12:52 PM Monday, February 09, 2004 This is a pretty fun quiz. Makes you think about yourself, and gives you a song to listen to when you can't sleep.  what's your cowboy bebop theme song? Cleo opened her eyes at 10:49 AM Sunday, February 08, 2004 My apologies to my fellow insomniacs if the following post upsets you (I'll have a comment board up soon so you can yell at me.) After returning home last night, I pulled on some fuzzy pajamas, turned on a sleep mix and climbed into bed. what ensued was one of the best night's sleep I've had in quite a while; perhaps one of the best in my life. It was deep and dreamless, and brought with it a penultimate, lingering peace. It seems that nearly all is right with the world, and although I know the feeling probably won't last (college life is far too stressful) I am glad I experienced it. I wish the same sleep, and peace, for all my readers. Til next post. Cleo opened her eyes at 11:26 AM Friday, February 06, 2004 Today is my 19th birthday. Please hold your applause until I blow out my candles. game tonight should be interesting; with any luck the Nightshade and Dark Adventuring Co. will finish its most recent contract with time to spare for cake. will let you know tomorrow if I got anything good. :) Cleo opened her eyes at 8:33 AM Wednesday, February 04, 2004 today it snowed. the world is covered in a glittering blanket of white and, though walking is made treacherous by 2 foot deep snowdrifts, there is a serene beauty and an atmosphere of peace which makes rest seem attainable. afternoon classes were cancelled, and I took advantage of the respite to catch a nap and visit some friends; realized I have weirder friends than originally thought. got a birthday present from the family which just made me miss them; I resolve to call and tell them how much I love them and all that jazz. try to get some sleep... unless you just want to stay up. ^^ that's always an option. Cleo opened her eyes at 3:21 AM Monday, February 02, 2004 so here we go. my first official post. as an insomniac, I have spent hours riding the information superhighway in search of something to knock me out or make staying up worth it-- with very little success. Therefore, I, Cleopetra, do hereby promise a fun, informative, semi- interesting substance free den of iniquity for all freshly detoxed participants in moral turpitude. thank you and have a nice day. or night.
