So good to see our sweet, immaculate dawn again.

What was that about being able to take care of myself?

1. Remind me not to pull all-nighters.
2. Failing #1, make sure I eat some breakfast with all that coffee I'll need to make it through class.
3. Failing #1 & 2, take away any heeled shoes and nudge me occasionally so I don't fall asleep upright while taking a test/writing an article/etc.
4. Failing #1-3, make sure you send me straight to bed for more than two hours of sleep before I have to be awake again.

My body is so good to me, and I'm a failure at taking care of it. I've since acted on #2 and #4, eating lunch and sleeping 4 hours so my equilibrium is mostly returned, my heartrate isn't alternately rabbiting and slogging through the motions, my stomach is back in place, my vision isn't swimming, and I seem to be generating my own body heat again.

However, copy is done and the spot news speech tonight promises to be interesting. The pre-meeting is at Coldstone, and that ain't bad either. grrleloquence says it's ski season, and it's all I can do not to go running. Plans are in place for Schiz and Port Orleans hotel and Joey! In! Grease! Mother Nature, however, missed an inter-office memo somewhere in there because the weather is back in the humid high 80s. Uh, no, not even in Florida this time of year.

This is your daily reminder to vote! Apparently a few others have caught on so we get to spread the cheerleading around. *readies pom poms*

Quote of the Day:
"I'm focused on proving that my success wasn't an accident. And when I play onstage, I want to get twice as good as I am now. Why? Because fuck everyone else. I don't care what you could possibly have to say about me, because I will always work hard enough that you will have to follow it up with, 'But, boy, that kid can play."
-John Mayer (from an article posted by afropuff)

[ETA: That mood icon is perfect for conveying just how I feel. Maybe I should change it to smug now. ;)]

Oooh! You get to see my Joey bear! *squee* I hope you have a blast sweets!

And dude, get some sleep. :)

I'll get to more than see him - Schiz and I got backstage passes, so it's just going to be the best kind of madness. *g* I really really cannot wait at all, so exciting! I mean, Grease! I'm on record somewhere saying that it would be the perfect musical for Joey to do.

Heh. *salutes* Truer words, man. And yet, here I am planning to go back out...

I really should be jealous but I can't be. I'm just get too darn happy when these kind of things happen to people. I'm sitting here bouncing because I'm so excited for you!

Grease is so the musical for Joey to be doing. And it's taking me everything I got not to empty my bank account like I did with RENT to go see him. Dude, just wow for you.

No I hear with the sleep thing. I try to convince myself to get in earlier. Right. Easier said than done I'm afraid.

I know what you mean about feeling like you should be jealous but just being happy. That's how I feel reading people's concert reviews (I've never seen them perform live) and all the random meet-ups during Challenge weekend, from the elevator rides to actual conversations at the VIP party. Just pure excitement and grateful that they're sharing their excitement with the rest of us.

Grease! It's such a dream, you know? Too surreal and perfect to be true, like the way people talk about how they should cover a certain song but we all know the chances are next to none but this is actually happening.

God, my bank account still hasn't quite recovered from the damage that RENT caused. But, again, so beyond worth it.
