Sleep

The darkness consumes me as I sink down into sleep, like black water closing in over my head. I breathe evenly, I imagine, and my subconscious takes over as a dream starts to materialize...And then I turn over, a screeching, clicking spring snaps my eyes open...once again. I'm awake. For the past week my sleep cycle has been destroyed by this little coil of evil metal. I drift in a plane of semi-consciousness for much of the night, neither fully asleep, not fully awake. I've checked to see if the spring that causing my troubled nights is in the steel trundle that my mattress rests on, and its not. So its in my mattress...I can't possibly ask my parents to buy a new one, its expensive, and seems like a petty matter compared to others. If the spring keeps making noise after I flip the mattress, I might just start sleeping in The Room With The Futon. Great.

I'm in the process of writing and scripting out my first short! The last post I made, titles Remember, is what its based off of. I'm excited to start making the costumes, my friend Hannah is going to come over later today and help me plan them out. Its been a while since we've had time to see each other, she is a great friend, and an amazing artist, getting her illustrations published in a children's book not too long ago. I think she is going to be a really beneficial part of my project, because not only can she help me with the creative aspect of things, she is a talented actress.

Amidst the planning of that short film, I'm going to recruit Connor and maybe some other friends in another phase of my project, dealing with street art...We'll see how that comes out.
