The other day I had trouble falling asleep. This was because I kept on having random thoughts on all sorts of topics, and I felt compelled to pick up my pen and notebook, turn on the light, and jot them down (I started doing this years ago when I realized how many thoughts I had lying awake at night, all of which were forgotten come morning). And I just couldn't get to sleep - it was almost frustrating. This is a fairly constant thing (i.e. happens at times other than this), especially when I'm not with other people.
And that, in a way, is what this blog is about: keeping track of all the things I think of. As it happens, a lot of them never make it here. It takes too much time to write these posts - and also, sometimes, too much work to get a thought (esp. a very fragmentary one) into something I feel okay about posting. I should lower my standards - better that than nothing.
It's late. I should go to sleep.
