Did you just wake up? It's 8:30 p.m. and I don't work nights, so... no. Been up 15 hours at this point.

What is one thing you've learned about life? Whatever's going on, it's going to change. Guaranteed. Not necessarily the way you want.

Do you open up to people easily? On some (ok, most) topics, yes. Others, no.

How did you sleep last night? I slept great till I woke up--wide awake--at 5.

What was the first thing you thought this morning? "Yeah, I need to be awake at 5 to get to church at 9:30...why??" Followed by a GREAT deal of trying to get back to sleep before I gave up so that I wouldn't disturb Beast. Apparently, I was supposed to disturb him enough to get him moving before 9. Not that I knew that, of course. Gah.
