So yeah, it was almost 1:30 a.m. by the time I made it to bed last night. Which resulted in a major zombie-state this morning.:/ Had to take Excedrin to wake myself up (I would have put up with the headache, but I don't normally drink coffee, so there isn't any to be found in my kitchen cabinets - and Excedrin has more or less the effect of an espresso shot). It did keep me awake for most of the day at work, but also made me queasy. So much for healthy lifestyle.:/ How many times do I have to tell myself not to do this? I KNOW that getting enough sleep is absolutely crucial. It is actually more important than a nutritious diet or exercise. It should also be easier to accomplish than either of the above - just drag your stupid ass to bed at a reasonable time each night, and you're done. Except I can't seem to get the hang of that, somehow.:|

It's Teh Evil Internetz, of course. I should check into rehab or something - lock myself up in a room with no computer for a week, perhaps. I bet I would get plenty of sleep then - out of sheer boredom, if for no other reason. Or maybe I would find a notebook and a pen and write down my thoughts anyway, because I can't seem to function without doing that - whether I am actually expecting anyone to read them or not. It's a very narcissistic habit, probably. I mean, it's not like I'm spouting Pulitzer material on a daily basis.:P

Also, why does LJ feel like such a dead zone of late?... I know people have lives and all, but there was a time when I could spend hours checking my flist - now I don't see more than 2-3 new entries a day. I need to join some new comms or something. Or find a fandom that is actually less than half-dead at the moment.:| Except I'm not too crazy about following stuff that EVERYONE is into, just because that's where all the activity seems to be. I am perfectly happy interacting with just a few people on a common topic of interest - except most of the people I really enjoy interacting with seem to have disappeared, and I don't know how to go about finding new ones. I keep telling myself I don't care if anyone reads this journal anymore - but if it were so, I would just scribble in a notebook and keep it in a drawer, wouldn't I?... Ah, the pointless exhibitionism of "private people" with broadband access.

Jeez, I really need to catch up on my sleep, pronto. Grey matter malfunction has occurred. Must recharge. *slinks sluggishly towards the bathroom*

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I've made notes of the movies you mentioned but I haven't read any further or commented so I can avoid being spoiled. They all sound intriguing and I hope I can find a couple of them soon.

I hope you can recharge a little -- I spend *way* too much time online; for me going to bed at 2am or later is not conductive to waking up before noon, lol.

Yeah, I know I am notorious with the spoilers.;)

Hah! It isn't for me, either - that's why I had to artificially create a state of wakefulness through the use of chemicals.:P

LJ *is* a dead zone, even when you have an active fandom. :| I think a lot of people are elsewhere on the internet now--tumblr, facebook, DW, whatever. Sigh. :(

Blergh. I hate Facebook. As for other blogging sites, I don't really have the time to keep up two separate journals, and I am too attached to this one to just let it go. Besides, starting from scratch somewhere else would mean not knowing anyone at first either, so what's the difference? Might just as well keep feeling lonely here. *snort*

Well I'm here and you're here and that makes me happy. :) I actually quite like that it's quieter in some ways because it makes it easier for me to keep on top of things. That's a bad reason.

I suppose I'm not really much into fandomy things at the moment and mostly want to hear about my friends lives. As an aside though, I am currently pining for LotR. I miss it, even though it's still vivid and alive in my head, if that makes any kind of sense.

*hugs*

I know what you're saying. If I ever got as many comments to an average post as you used to get back in the day, I would be utterly overwhelmed. But my journal has always been a quiet place, and now it feels like no one even reads it anymore (except for you and maybe two or three other kind souls, who leave a comment every now and then out of politeness... LOL).

It makes all kinds of sense, because I feel the same way.:) *hugs back*

I still keep getting behind, but I'm working on it. :) I did find it overwhelming before, but I do miss LotR fandom. I suppose we can never have it all.

I think you're a wonderful and interesting and quirky person and I love talking to you. I can't think even for a moment that I'm alone in that. *hugs*

I am thinking about making a journal or community for pics and talking and sharing stuff about LotR, because I know we both miss it. I don't know, what do you think? It would be a small thing, but I would like to have a place for it. Hmm. Just a thought.

Thank you so, so much for saying this. *squishes* You have no idea how much I needed to hear something like this right now.:)

I think that's a great idea!!! And if it's a small thing, it will be easier for me to participate, because I am often intimidated by large crowds.;) For example, I usually just lurk at some of the comms where I don't know most of the other people who have joined (like

viggo_daily etc.). If it's a tiny little place started by someone I know & like, I might feel safe enough to release my chatty side.;P

*big hugs*

I like our small LotR place and I hope it works for you. I am too daunted by new fandoms and large communities and all that. Small, friendly places. That's what I like. ♥
