I have finally figured out the cure to my insomnia .
I think that the cure to my insomnia would be if my internet connection just shuts down every night at 1:30 am , I would have no choice but to go to bed because its the only thing that keeps me up . There has to be a "HighSpeedInternet Annoymous " support group somewhere . Also my digital cable should go off at the same time as well at 1:30 am . I am pathethic LOL - but if those two things went off , I would have no choice but to go to bed and actually sleep . Did I mention that I was pathetic ? I need someone to rock me to sleep . Any volunteers ? I'm cute ?!?!?!

1. It's hard to turn off the brain and the "Brain" sometimes

My computer and Internet connection is like a part of my extended Id and Ego family...

4. then you'd start buying, checking out, whatever- more books!
at least I would. I get lost in them for days on end. I can't function in the real world if I am into a book.

7. I not only check out books . I buy them all the time .
I have a joke with my mom that there is a red light with a siren that goes off and amazon.com whenever I order books because I order them so often . I read entirely too fast I don't know when to put the book down . Maybe I am just hyperactive .

9. I have to physically remove the books from my presence to do things
like shower, go to the bathroom, brush my teeth, eat, etc... I have been late to work because I had to finish a book.

way worse than tv or the internet. I guess that's a good thing, right?

12. I am the same way.
I love tv and the internet. I sat here this evening and recorded Boston Legal, which I will watch soon, then there's the second run of Daily Show and Colbert. That puts me in bed at 3am-ish. brilliant!

13. Here's the cure:
Get up at 5:30 and drive from Santa Barbara to Redding, CA, including the ENTIRE LENGTH of the Central Valley.

I had to stop WAY too often because I was totally losing focus on the road.

14. You know what , that gives me an idea .
When I finally get some vacation days I am going on a road trip . I am taking some clothes , and my cellphone just for emergencies and my music I am just going to drive to the North Carolina coast all by myself and sit on the beach - oh yes ! Don't mind me , you were talking about driving to Santa Barbara , hell I might just drive to California . I want to see the Pacific .

18. ROFLOL! Yep, you have a bad case of it. Maybe we...
could get a support group started, but that would only be feeding the addiction.
