*Sigh* this is getting out of hand, I really thought i'd gotten over my chronic insomnia but it has returned with a vengence. Its been four days without sleep and I can tell it's going to be another sleepless night. And what do you know, im imune to sleeping tablets. *pouts* Did I piss off the Sandman? Perhaps mumble something offencive in my sleep? I will bake him sugar cookies if he will permit me rest. Im honestly considering a friends offer of Chloroform.....but that's of questionable sorcing, trust him as I may. I wonder if it would be a restful sleep or just make you horribly groggy? Anyone know how long till insanity sets in further? A week? Two weeks? Well if anyone has any miracle cures i'd be terribly greatful, none of that infomercial stuff though lol. Aaaaaaaand now im ranting....I'll just shut u.....*gets shot* X_X

It's disturbing that chloroform seems like an ok idea......@_@
