Narcolepsy
Posted in Uncategorized on July 8, 2008 by everestwu
I don’t remember if I wrote about this or not, but I’ll do it again.
I think I’ve got a problem with sleeping.
I’m the type of person who, if tired, WILL fall asleep, regardless of whatever it is I’m doing. I could be in class, playing a game, driving (yeah, it’s scary), anything at all.
It’s not even a question of willpower. If I HAVE to stay up, the only way I can do it is through pumping large amounts of energy drinks into my bloodstream, typically red bull or amp.
If I don’t submit myself to the power of caffeine and B vitamins, I might as well be a giant stuffed animal with drool stains.
And this sleepiness occurs whether or not I’ve had enough sleep (yes, I’ve experimented by getting the same exact number of hours of sleep: 7, 8, 9, and 10 hours for 2 weeks, no difference). The only thing that getting more sleep affects is how moody I am.
The worst part is if I’m in the middle of doi…
Tubing
Posted in About Me, Rant with tags tubing on July 7, 2008 by everestwu
I went tubing for the first time last weekend.
For someone who typically doesn’t spend much time outdoors other than for jogging or parkour, I really enjoyed it, but to understand exactly why it’s odd for me to even remotely like tubing, you have to know a couple things:
First of all, I’m not very keen on lakes.
They’re murky deathtraps filled with monsters, killer moss, and who knows what else that’s just sitting on the bottom of the lake, waiting for some pair of unsuspecting legs to dangle into its territory before ripping it to shreds.
Second, I’m just not very water-activity inclined.
I’m a horrible swimmer (childhood asthma really gets to me when I have to breathe in odd rhythms), dislike the taste of salty water, and generally get shoved and kicked around waves like I’m the towelboy at a Laker’s game.
Third is my general disdain towards nature.
I mean, I like seeing nature and hearing nature, as long as there’s a glass shield separating me from it. Call me spoiled, but I enjoy my A/C far too much to step out into the now ninety-fucking-seven degree weather we’ve been having only to immediately be attacked by some over-sized beetle that feels the need to find my foot, regardless of how much I move it, and try to crawl up my leg as fast as possible. In the meantime, its mosquito and spider friends are trying to piss in my face, and no matter how much I try to get away, that fucking spiderweb is STILL on me 3 hours later.
But anyways, I like tubing.
