Blogs and consciousness.

// November 22nd, 2009 // 11 Comments » // Challenges, NaBloPoMo, November 2009

Your eyes pop open. You’re shivering, your hair is matted, and you’re covered in sweat. Shaking your head and sore limbs out vigorously, you soon become more and more conscious.

Instead of reflecting on what made your sleeping self so scared, your first waking thoughts are, “CRAP! I haven’t written a blog post for NaBloPoMo yet! I don’t know what to blog about! And I haven’t left enough comments on other people’s blogs for IComLeavWe or Comment for a Comment!”
Yes, all thoughts were made with exclamations on the end. And because you’re not fully awake yet, you’re thinking in Thai. Thai is the language you use when you’re sad, pissed off, or too out of it to realise.

You check the time. It’s 4AM, and already, you’re obsessing about blog-related activities.
The same time last month, you couldn’t give a flying fuck as to what happened to your blog.

Your priorities are screwed.

Tomorrow, you’ll be having hallucinations (for you haven’t had a proper dream since you were a toddler) of an event from someone’s blog post or a chapter from someone’s NaNoWriMo novel.

But at least this blog post is done. You shall now try to get your lack of skills in commenting on others’ blogs out of your subconscious for the few hours you have left until the morning.
