What, going to sleep, or waking up?

both.......still feel the same.. i suppose at least i didn't have to think for a while..

But it did work:

you succeeded in going to sleep, and

you succeeded in waking up again.

You have to give yourself credit for what does work. :-)

Otherwise, anyone's life would feel like it was full of failures.

that made me smile

you always read in between the lines:)

See? Smiling is easy. I know it doesn't last, but then you can just ... do it again.

(I usually find that I feel worse after an unplanned nap, but that may just be me.)

Have you thought about any of the other alternatives, while you were shleeping?

it's not easy to make me smile.

(yeah i always feel worse too...)

no but i had a really exciting dream where there were 2 men in my room and they jumped out the window and then i was a fashion designer and my cousin and neighbour were doing a fashion course with me but my cousin wouldn't speak to me and my neighbour made me feel bad. but we were wearing really cool clothes...!

I didn't say you were easy, sweety.

But you're worth it. :-)

Most of the time, I forget my dreams. So, um, what kind of cool clothes? You might have some fashion ideas you can use.

really unusual clothes... too bad fashion is over!!!

i just remembered!!! i was on a bus and this old lady got on and she was having a heartattack!!! and i had to look after her. and then she got better and she looked young again!!!

Okay. No telling me you have no imagination, okay? :-P

i only have an imagination when i don't feel bad. when i'm asleep i don't feel bad.

I bet you have an imagination the whole time; feeling bad just makes it hard to get to. Maybe you're getting distracted by the feeling bad. We both know it's not permanent. Maybe there's something different you can do with the feeling bad, so that you still get to have an imagination.

i wish it wasn't so compliiiiiiiiiiicated:)

how was your weekend fairy godfather?

It has to be complicated, or some your 100 billion neurones would be made redundant, and you don't want that.

Saturday was pretty good; I got out and ran some errands. Do you know what a recorder is? The musical wind instrument? Well, I bought one. I used to play, and I'm going to take it up again.

Sunday, not so good. I slept a fair amount of it, but I did get up in the afternoon and try to make something of it. I fixed my wireless router, if that counts as something.

How was yours?

oh my sister used to play the recorder!!!

that's cool:) maybe you can join a band?

all i did was i worked and i slept. nothing very exciting..

I played in a couple of groups after high school (around the time you were born, I think.)

So far, I'm just doing it to help me go right-brained some more.

You should use your imagination to make your work exciting. Pretend your next customer is your dream prince, and your job will be to sell him underwear. :-)

OH NO!!!! BUT THEY'RE ALL OOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe your prince will come in shopping for undies for his dad, the king. This is your imagination, remember.

oh..maybe!!! i wish i really had a prince..

all the lads in my college are gay:(

"All" is unlikely. Perhaps more than the average school. But you might find a real gem, that way. Someone with the same interests, for instance. No, I don't mean that you could share outfits. :-P

maybe!!!

it would be kinda cool if we could share outfits:)!!!

i got a really funny customer on saturday.. he looked about 50 and he randomly walked up to me and started telling me how he had just dyed his hair and then he kept talking for about 10 minutes:D

Now tell me he dyed it pink or blue. :-)

When the top finally goes bald, I'm just going to say I dyed my hair pink.

nah it was black..he was funny though.. he made me laugh:D!!

do all men go bald?

did ya hear? i might be shaving my head!!!

I did hear you might do that. It seems like a waste of some perfectly fine ginger hair, but at least it's less permanent than tattoos. Personally, I'd want something that would piss her off, but would be removable. She doesn't have to know that it's removable, after all.

Not all men, but most do, eventually. Many women get very thin, too, in old age. "Pattern baldness", like I and most early-balding men have, is genetic, though. Luck of the draw, just like my incredible good looks. ;-)

you could get hair extensions..!!

some men look better bald i think..

... Scalp extensions. :-)

In my case, I just look like me, but with less hair. Seriously, I'm quite happy to look my age.
