And the problem with this love of sleep? Every time I have good ideas about how this essay's all going to fit together and how I can articulate that, I fall asleep. When I wake up, my mind is a blank slate.
I ended up needing a nap this afternoon, because my head was really hurting. Before I went to sleep, Chris made me talk out my essay to him. At first it was a jumble, and then I started figuring things out. I decided that I'n only have a short nap, so that I could get back to work. As I drifted off, things really started making sense. And then my ideas started mixing with my dreams, and then I woke up two hours later. My mind emptied out by the sleep.
My final thought, as I drifted off: "I wish there was a cord that I could attach from my brain to my computer, so that I could download all these thoughts directly without having to remember them and type them out." Then I realised I already couldn't remember any of my ideas. Then I was asleep.
Now I sit here, mind all jumbled, trying to write an essay.

Poor Maryanne. All sleepy and muddled. You should get Chris working on one of those brain download cords...of course, then the computers might start getting uppity, and pushing us around, trying to take over the place. Maybe that isn't such a good idea...
Yes, I'm kind of rambly and strange, but I'll be praying for you, so that's got to count for something.
Good luck!
Hey, if you invent that cord, you won't ever have to write essays again!
I should see if Chris has any ideas for inventing that cord. There's a reason I married a Mad Scientist.
Yes! Yes! You must get Chris to invent the cord! Put me at the top of the order list. ;)
Hey, if you invented that cord, it would be pretty cool - except that for me, my thoughts would all be scrambled up with random things like ladybugs and people and chocolate and stuff, and I'd just have to sort it all out anyway. And I think it would be kind of interesting to use it at night and see if it would help remember dreams afterward. But I don't think I'd like people to be able to hook me up to something and figure out what I'm thinking about. That's scary. I think Chris should invent something else.
Like one of those things that takes you instantly from one place to another place that's far way. I'd like that.
p.s. My word identification was ogeez. Huzzah.
I love Ariann. She's special. And I believe what you were referring to was a teleport device. Yes, I am a geek.
Where do I send my check for a cord? I would like the thoughts to also sort themselves out to my blog, web site, porn and directly to the CEO's e-mail.
