Dogs' lives are too short. Their only fault, really.*

I had the most aweful night ever and the day isn't turning out shiny either. The radiators in my room are wily evil little bastards. Some fifteen minutes into my snuggle-under-the-bedcovers routine, just as my brain's relaxing and conjuring up disparate throughts, like penguins with uzis jumping into jello, thinking this makes so much sense, and I'm thisclose to falling asleep, my radiators waggle their fingers at me. "Oh no you don't," they say, all Master-like. Only they say this with very loud, very obnoxious clicks. One single click that jerks you out of the happy sleepy zone and into mmrfgl-I'm-in-bed zone, then blissful silence. Except the radiators are ninjas and time it so that the silence is juuuust long enough to relax once more and see what those penguins are up to, when click!, you're harpooned back out into wakefullness.

This went on and on and on. Oh, believe me, I tried to shut it up. I prodded, pushed and pulled at the radiator's click-zone, wedged towels between it and the creaky wood-wall, kicked it, each attempt preceeded and followed by a five to ten minute "Ah, now it's stopped. Let's get comfy..." Click 0.0 I eventually got up - huffing, flinging the sheets back - and turned the heating off. I think it worked. By then I'd probably been at it for an hour.

But then, this morning, somewhere round 7:30, I wake up feeling aboslutely horrible because I'd just had a dream where ( omg puppies got hurt! )

So I wandered about the room a bit and then snuggled back into bed, trying to make my way into my latest little daydream-scape where I might feel less like a puppy-killer. I really needed a break.

Guess what?

Click. 0.0 ... -.- Click. 0.0 ... -.- Click "Gaaaaaaah!" *Cue reenactment of previous night's prodding, poking, kicking and all-around "What do you want from me?!?" wails.* That again lasted an hour. So I woke up much, much later than I'd planned, and now it's 1 pm and I've got 1 hour of work under my belt. Blergh. Oh gods, horrible, nasty day.

Meme, tagged by lienne:

Instructions: Fill this in ten times for ten different people (they don't have to be on lj): "I want to [have/give/etc. something] so [purpose here]." For example: I want to have a flower so I can put it in your hair. Then tag five people.

*grumble ten people grumble* Omg, I can't remember people anymore...

1. I want to give a brownie party so you can have a brownie party.
2. I want to take you to Japan so we can rock out and be wierd tourists.
3. I want to take you to New Orleans on Mardi Gras for research for the hell of it.
4. I want to have you talk to me honestly so I can know who you've become at least as well as your friends.
5. I want to hear that you've finally made some friends so you won't be so bitterly miserable and alone.
6. I want to tell you that I really do love you so that you'll not think that I've stopped.

Gorramit, I have no wants. Or people. *flail* I've lost touch with too many folk and they're all too far away anyway. Deceptively hard and depressing meme is deceptively hard and depressing! This is hard to say out loud repeatedly!

People can tag themselves. *frustrated pout*
