the world is a vampire

I have become nocturnal, but at least I am not craving blood yet. It's about 7:00 am UAE time and I am finally feeling tired enough to go to bed. Ever since Sassafrass' mom left I have been gradually staying up later and later and it has become a routine to surf the internet and watch TV until the wee hours of the morning before going to bed. I feel guilty for wasting away the time I have here, but I can't seem to get back onto a normal schedule. I am looking for a graphic design job, but I have not found many openings in Abu Dhabi. I am considering looking for a position in Dubai, but I am not excited about having to commute an hour each way...again.

Even my own mind is against me. Last night I wasn't tired but went to bed earlier than usual, so I could wake up and get some stuff done to make myself feel more useful. I set my alarm but still slept until I woke up in the early afternoon. Sass said that she heard my alarm go off and then immediately get shut off. I don't have any memory of waking up to turn it off, so I must have done it while I was asleep!

I'm not looking for pity for having the privelege of being able to do nothing and stay up all night. I'm sure you are all saying, "Poor you! You have to stay home and do nothing all day and night!" I am just writing out my thoughts which will hopefully provide motivation to get off my ass and DO something. But be careful of what you wish for, because you might get it.

Despite all your rage, do you still feel like a rat in a cage? (sorry I had to add to that clever title of yours)
