Wake up dead*

You're entitled to a night or two in bed*

It's 2:20 pm and I've been studying for approximately half an hour. Shit. I seriously tried to wake up round 10, or even 10:30, but doing so was like crawling out a grave. A very comfortable grave. That sucked back. Ugh. It felt like waking up a zombie (and I've contemplated that enough to write about it - scroll to Epilogue - so this isn't really a crack metaphor).

I'm currently learning irregular-in-the-past-tense verbs, although "irregular" usually just means "exactly like in German, biatch". (Does this make me feel better equipped for the exam? Hell no.)

I'm incredibly amused that raden means both to guess and to advise.

ETA: From yesterday's exercises: Ik mis mijn familie.***
ETA2: It's 3:20 pm. I have a summarized list of irregular verbs. I'm sorely tempted to throw my notes into the fireplace give up lie on the floor moping take a small break, make lunch and watch Lost. *sigh*

Yesterday whilst**** watching Lost, I really wanted to ruffle Ben's^ hair. And put him back into those striped PJ's. Oh, Ben, why do I like you? I mean, yeah, Manipulative Evil Bastard^^, but apart from that? The giant hamster joke? Not enough, really. And besides, he's eeevil manupilative, for no reason, whereas Sylar's manipulation have a very obvious, very sexy purpose. Self, stop liking Ben! He creaps us out!

Also, Locke (whom we no longer find cool, just disturbingly "Hear the higher calling" crazy). When he said, all puppy-eyed, "You said I was special," I thought, "Hmm, sounds so familiar..." Half an hour later I get up bug-eyed from my bed and realize he was channelling Sylar-cakes. And that's where the brain broke down, because the last thing we want it to find points of comparism between Sylar and Locke. Just no.

* "Wake Up Dead"**, Veruca Salt
** Which is also, curiously, a song by Megadeth, a song by Arlo Gunthrie, a movie and a common phrase.
*** "I miss my family," which is true.
**** Is there a difference between while and whilst, or can they be used interchangeably?
^ Not, as my last few rereads of this would suggest, ursulav's Ben. Aw, now I can't take crazy Ben seriously! He shares a name with a cat! And jokes about hamsters! (Seriously, I'll never find that joke and it's delivery not funny.)
^^ He was also in the short glimpse I watched of Saw (probably the first one). Boy does Creepy Evil Manipulative Bastard damn well.

...I did what I had to do.*

ZOMG!!! Ben's a sick BASTARD!

ETA: If your current plan of action for studying causes you to exclaim "Fuck that's boring" the moment it's conceived, you may not be doing it right. :(
ETA2: Sneezing whilst trying not to spit out gum, resulting in said sneeze coming out the ears, is now on my list of Bad Things That Ought Not Happen to Me (But Still Do).
