(no subject)
Jan. 11th, 2005 06:10It is the early hours of the morning - actually not that early any more - I can't sleep, though my neighbours seem to have no trouble doing so. Too tired to write, too awake to sleep. Makes your mind go down strange avenues - fics I will (never) write, places I will (maybe) see, conversations I will (definitely never) have....
Then I started thinking about the time before I had this journal, heck before I had a home pc, and how it felt to lie awake and stare at the ceiling, listening to the silence and feeling utterly alone. I understand now why, as one of the tiny percentage of the world's population who has this access, I am so truly blessed.
Half the world is awake with me. Most of my usual sites may be quiet - America is going to sleep and Europe is not yet awake - but I am not really alone. I can sit here in my little workroom in the far South of the world and I am still connected, still part of a whole, and if I really need some one to talk to - well, Advance Australia!
Maybe I should spare a little of the time I am passing in the dark hours to count my many blessings.
And then I spent nearly an hour trying to post this entry, getting more and more irritated as time passed. Finally it dawned on me - I forgot to change the year - I posted this entry to Jan 11 2004 at least 6 times! Think I need to go and sleep for a bit now!
