Lock-In ex post facto (the mountain dew hangover)

Before I start, I'd just like to tell you that I typed the title of this and published it without actually typing anything. Let me explain my otherwise blonde moment with a bit of a back story.

Think of last 25 things that someone would do at 3 in the morning. Now throw in a group of crazy teens with the freedom of the entire Geneseo community center.

It looks like you've gots yourself a lock-in.

From ten last night to six this morning, the only time I felt tired was when I was sitting down. They did everything short of injecting us with pure caffeine to keep us awake. No joke. Whether it was swimming, eating baby food and lemons, chugging as much Pepsi as possible, tackling each other in games, or crumpling up newspaper to make piles at the other end of the gym floor, that was only the beginning of my night/morning.

I got home at a little before 7 and totally crashed. I just slept in my jeans and oversized purple event shirt. My parents woke me up at 1 this morning and I felt like I had been run over.

Because (of course) know what that feels like....

anyways. I have major bruised everywhere from
a) the girls volleyball tournement,b) playing "123 American Eagle" (One of those try not to get tackled/be the last person standing games)or,c) sliding in to other people in a running game.

to top it all off, we played a game with newspapers, so my hand were black. This made my face black. This also gave me unaccounted for "bruises" in odd places like my foot or something.

I can barely keep my eyes open. So why am I blogging? Just a way to try to stay awake. I slept through a movie today and for some reason, I feel like I'm still in motion. I feel like my head is throbbing. I even asked someone if it looked like it was growing, but it wasn't. This morning, the only word I knew was "nu." I tried to get out of bed on the side of my bed that is right up against my wall. I'm a bit impared.

a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep....
