Cat's Word for the Day

night bags (noun): 1. eye-bags; 2. burdens one carries throughout the night as one sleeps

I suppose I've never been one for sleeping.

Fact is, Croyd Crenson, a.k.a. the Sleeper of Wild Cards fame, would have been proud of me. (In the story, Crenson had been infected by a genetic virus that had swept the world, giving him the power to change shape or power when he sleeps. Unfortunately for Crenson, he hated sleeping before he had become infected and even more so afterwards. After all, when it's a fifty-fifty chance that he'll turn either into a superhuman being or a mutated freak when he wakes up, what's to be happy about his situation? But I digress...)

Like him, I thought that there was too much to do instead of lying on a soft bed asleep. Not in a "take Life by the balls" kind of thing, more like "things to do, people to see." So when I sometimes say I lack sleep, it's usually for a good cause.

Usually.

(It also doesn't help that the times I do sleep, my subconscious is screaming at 100 mph like a madman on speed and I wake up even more tired. Gah.)

Wala lang.
