My mum keeps asking me on the phone how things are between OG and me. I find it very hard to explain the situation, somehow... For the time being, I'm staying as evasive as I can, but when I'm coming home on Friday, I know there will be no way to avoid the Great Maternal Inquisition. I need to work out a plausible story which makes me look respectable, and preferably -well, absolutely- not involving too much sleeping around. Hmm...

I've got until Friday, and, anyway, despite the copious amount of coffee, my brain is working way too slowly this morning to be used properly. I spent another sleepless night. Not an hour, not a minute, not even a second of sleep since Monday morning.
It's not that I had fun last night. I didn't go clubbing. I didn't attend any house party. I didn't go to the pub. I didn't even spend the night at home drinking with the usual suspects. I didn't spend the night with someone who kept me awake for good reasons either (sigh).

Insomnia. Or the great pleasures of being unable to sleep for no reason.

At 4:30, I gave up trying, and came downstairs where I watched most the DVD collection whilst playing sudoku. Pretty much until now, if you don't take in account my 7am trip to the corner shop to get another pack of cigarettes.
I live a great and exiting life.

That probably explains why I decided to give it another shot with Hihes and emailed him this morning. No, that doesn't explain anything. But I need to blame that impulsive self-destructive act of mine on something, and insomnia seems like a great excuse. Let's say that if I don't get any reply, I won't blame myself entirely, but rather blame the lack of sleep. Makes life so much simpler.

Not that it was anything too explicit either. I just asked how he was, how were the gigs going, and invited him to our New Year's Eve party. Nothing foolish. (well I did say that it would be good to see him, "whenever"...) I calculated he would read my mail either in state of great drunkenness, either with a terrible hangover, as I learnt by a common accointance that he is attending quite a big Christmas party tonight. Either option, that pretty much guarantee me a honest answer.
If there's no answer, again, well, I guess I'll know where to stand...
