Half an Hour

I am operating on 30 minutes of sleep right now. Not even kidding.
Last night, I was over at a friend's, and even though I knew I had to be up at 6 for a fitness test, I could not, for the life of me, fall asleep. I spent the next 3 hours staring out the window and listening to the ceiling fan. I really liked looking out the window, the view was gorgeous.
My friend lives on a farm (this is Hicktown, after all) so because of the lack of street and city lights, you can see about a bazillion stars on a clear night like last night. Even though half of the window was shrouded by tree, it was really beautiful to just be able to gaze at the sky like that. The gorgeous sky here in CO is definitely something I'm going to miss when I graduate and get out. On clear, cloudless days, you can look up and the sky is just blue and blue and blue and opaque and awesome. It's like being inside a marble. I love it!
Also, I really like the sound of a ceiling fan at night. The rythmic swish and occasional click are the best ambiant noise ever. I think that's the best soundtrack for thinking, which is basically all I could do last night.
Although it was really fucking frustrating to not be able to sleep, I did kind of like that it gave me time to just chill and think for a few hours. Sometimes my life seems so ridiculous, it's nice to have a few hours of chill time sometimes. Plus, I thought about a bunch of stuff that was bothering me. Mwb, Ex, cheer, my lack of art lately, this blog, the fact that I'm starting to like one of my friends but I don't know how she'd react if I told her. Just kind of everything, I don't know I feel really zen now.
btw, I totally owned my fitness test, so hopefully I can promote next week at work. I get shiny new insignia if I promote, and not only will I look like a badass, but I'll get to look like a badass at the airshow I'm working in August. I'm pretty pumped :)
Hah, this post was kinda all over the place, but whatever it's ok, I'm kinda all over the place too.

  1. Jealous.
    I live in a pretty good sized town, maybe a smallish city.
    So saying that, I rarely ever see the stars.
    I'm glad you're grateful for them.

    If you don't mind me asking, what is your job?
