Disbelief *shaking head*
I can't believe I did it again! I'm so ludircous, this is incredibly stupid. Oh jeez I'm so stupid its laughable. How laughable, if I recorded myself doing what I did, you'd laugh too. What am I talking about you ask? OK. Here's my epic tale of madness:
Actually wait, you know what, just because I feel like it, I'm going to tell this story as I do with my other stories: in prose form. Yup, I'm going to write this as though it were a story I'm writing - simply because its fun. Ok? yes. Ok. Cool.
I checked the clock, concerned about the time and my unscrupulous allocation of it. Deciding I couldn't care less, yet being my structured self, I absent-mindedly set my phone alarm to exactly one hour and two minutes proceeding. I lay my head down onto the large and worn couch, and cast from my mind any concern that threatened to impede the zen I needed to create. As slumber crept upon my senses it deviously seized my limbs and soon my appendages felt like a tonne of cement. My eyes drifted shut and the world washed away...
My eyes snapped open. The dream-like delirium fled from my senses instantly. I jolted upwards, shaken with absolute fear as I spied the pre-dawn light streaking through the window, preternaturally filtered through the whisp of curtin. If this were any other occasion, I would have stopped and admired the sensuality of it, however this was not such an occasion. I cursed loudly and sprang upright, wondering frantically the excuses I could produce for not completeing the abundance of homework I promised to complete tonight. Impatiently I yanked up my sleeve and checked my watch.
A quarter to seven.
Suffering a wild paroxysm, my brain fizzled out into an eletric fit of spasms, worry shocking my mind like twitching cockroach legs. A quarter to seven, a quarter to seven in the morning! WHY DID ANYONE NOT WAKE ME? My bus was to come in fifteen minutes! Panic seized my entire being and forced me to move. Move. Move. Move! I ran upstairs, screaming. It's a quarter to seven, I need to move, I need an excuse, I need to do my homework. Priority: Catch that bus! As I bounded up the stairs, three at a time, the sound of the TV halted me.
Neighbours was on TV.
The epiphany suddenly slammed into my brain. It was like Optus Prime in truck form barraging straight into Megatron. It was not pre-dawn light that I had spied through the window - it was pre-sunset. It was dusk. It was night! Alleluia! Relief coursed through me like the sleep that grasped me just a few hours before. I was delirious with relief as a lazy grin washed over my face. Retrieving the bits of dignity that I had unprohibitedly splattered across the floor a few minutes earlier, I inconscpicuously crept down the stairs and back to my beloved couch. Sick with relief, I lay down to fall asleep once more. If only that were reality. Mum and Pa came through the door, shouting sbout eating dinner. I didn't think I'd be able to eat after the noodlebox yesterday, but I was hungry.

Yeah. That's the long version of it.
LOL the busbays was funny today. Ah Stef, I love her she's so funny. I sat with her at the busbays today and we were having some nice conversation, and then the guys rocked up with a very enthusiastic hello. Stef's eyebrows raised suddenly with a suggestive curve. Michael asked me if I was attending the diocesan free breakfast on saturday, simply referring to it as "Saturday." To which Stef replied, "Oooh, what's happening on Saturday Dana?" With that suggestive smirk of hers. Ah she's so speculative, that girl. She's so funny. It was nice having a conversation with them though.
What else? I need more sleep. Have heaps of homework though, don't want to go to school tomorrow.
I love my cardigan. :D
Yes I'm very random.
I better go now, So You Think You Can Dance is almost over (Who came up with such a long title?).
I need to do my homework.
