My head... is killing me

[whiskyinmind]

Why is it that a phrase I say a lot - and have done all my life - now sounds like Billie Piper in my head... (and is immediately echoed by an eye-roll inducing "I think you need a doctor..."). *le sigh* Fandom is taking over my life.

I have a headache because I have had insanely little sleep. Got home from the gig around quarter to midnight and was a good girl and just went pretty much straight to bed. And didn't sleep. And was still awake at 2am. Finally got to sleep and then woke up again at around... 4.30 ish I think it was. And got up an hour later to get into work. So... I'm insanely tired right now and, in the words of La Piper, "My head is killing me."

Still - gig was a lot of fun - Divine Comedy who I've always kinda liked but never enthused over. Now? I must own every album and EP. :) Epitome of cool, it has to be said, much enjoyment had and a perfect cure for the doldrums I was veering into yesterday. I am so much better now, still ratty at certain people. Ahem. Sorry. Rant avoided...and I really am determined to have something written today and sent to be beta read. No, really. Next chapter of Final Straw is around 2,000 words already with a lot of story still to go (I'm already at 5,096 words of my 10,000 target and with this chapter being the *huge* story chapter it may end up taking me to the target on its own... *g*) And I really, really, really want to get back into the _dontcomehome_ story again. I kinda left them in a bit of a pickle (a phrase I have never used before and hopefully never will again...) and it's been bugging me for a little while now. :)

Now I'm going to make my headache worse by drinking coffee. Can't remember if it causes the brain to swell or shrink - either way, it can't be good. :)

Sorry about your head, mate. I'd go with the coffee mainly because I can't manage anything without. Hedge your bets and take paracetamol with it :D

Btw are you a Wonderfalls fan?, because I have a lovely little vid rec for you which made me smile.

Think I may have overdone it a little on the caffeine - my head currently feels like it's a balloon which might just float away at any moment.

*wonders if she can get away with putting her head on the desk and sleeping for an hour or so...*

And I love Wonderfalls!

Is that the Red Bull effect?

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

It gives you wings.

*nods sagely*

*remembers the only time she ever drank Red Bull and swore never to drink "that donkey urine" ever again*

*grins*

Hey, don't knock it! :)

Drinking that stuff almost like it was water got me through a weekend in Madrid, with little sleep.

So, tell me, you get your caffeine how? With the usually poor excuses for coffee people in most of Europe have? :) Buckets of coffee?

Coke? Hey, a friend of mine drinks the stuff like there's no tomorrow, it adds up!

Also? Hum... I think you could increase the font size in your icon, just a wee, you have room for it, and the "Kindred spirits" ain't easy to read as is.

Have you tried coffe with a few drops of lemon? It's supposed to be good when you're all headachy...

Coffee. More coffee. Even more coffee. And maybe some Irn Bru if needed.

And decent coffee at that - although right now I'm settling for Tesco's 'fair trade' rich roast granules 'cause I'm at work. Normally it's fresh ground percolated stuff at home.

Can't stand Red Bull at all - just makes me shudder to think about it to be honest!

Also? It's not very good for your liver. :)

Go you! Just a few more hours, and then you'll sleep.

Just under three hours left (and then an hour in the car) - I can make it that long. No really, I can.

*yawns widely*

*wonders why she has that stupid song in her head "I... want candy..."?!*

Cool! Thanks - I'll check it out tonight!

(I may have found my second wind - I actually seem to be able to keep my eyes open now!)
