insomnia goes swimmingly.

I couldn't sleep earlier, when I tried, so I stayed awake until the gym opened and went for a swim. Today I found that I'm a more confident swimmer with goggles on, more willing to have my face in the water, but I still had breathing problems and ended up standing in the middle of the lane a few times, sputtering because I'd inhaled a little bit of water. I still can't even do a single lap of proper crawl. I have to roll over onto my back a lot. The guy next to me had a snorkel and flippers and was swimming low on the bottom of the pool, which was strange to see. Another strange thing was when I realized that my backstroke kicking technique needed modification, so I hooked my ankles out further and really pushed - which was great, I was doing the kick correctly, BUT - both my hip joints cracked right in the crotch joint area, a deep twingey crack. It wasn't so much painful as just plain weird.

I wanted to go bead shopping this morning, but the store doesn't open for another hour and I figure I ought to grab my sleep when I can... I've been home from the gym for perhaps half an hour, and I'm starting to get tired enough again. I could pull out the Heidegger I'm reading and that should be the finishing touch on knocking my ass out for a few hours. Later today hyper_ballad and I are supposed to hang out again and attempt to watch Donnie Darko & perhaps Bubble Boy as well.

Oh, yeah, I took that "Who's Your Daddy" quiz that people are posting. Darth Vader was my result. I really wanted OZZY, though. Rock.
