Can I go to bed now?

[uberreiniger]

Dracula auditions were tonight. Everyone was stupendous to watch and I think Dean's going to have a devil of a time trying to cast the show. Too much good talent to choose from. I told him I'd sit out tomorrow night's audition to work more on the music, which I need to. Turns out he wants Lesley to create a bit of dance choreography in one of the scenes so a rush order has been placed on the music in question for that scene. No problem! I'll just pull someone who can do Middle Eastern-style drumming out of my ass! This really stresses me, folks.

I've got so much to do, yet I'm in one of my weird stages where all I really want to do is sit in a corner and read and then go to sleep. It's not good. I don't know if I'm exactly depressed. I think in a way maybe I am. Lots of nagging self-doubts. Maybe it just comes with being tired. In fact, I'm sure it does. I can't remember the last time I was well-rested. I got nine hours of sleep on Sunday, but I don't think it was enough.

Sunday through Tuesday I can't do AIM at work, but Wednesdays and Thursdays I'm at a site where they're less observant so I can sneak on. I'll try then sometime.

Me, i just type on my computer in a dark corner

If you feel like reading yourself to sleep in a corner, i say do it. Sometimes you need that downtime, and sometimes you need to just get that negative crap out of your system. And it's easy to get a lot of anxiety and doubt worked up when you're working on something important that you really care about. It only becomes a problem(for me at least) if the corner reading continues for many days. I hope you arent feeling too depressed. I still dont like to leave the house if i don't have to. But also, once i get out there and have something to work on(especially creative) i dont feel quite so bad all the time.

Well I definately don't think it will continue for days in this case. I'll be in serious trouble if it does! It is amazing how stressful the things we love become when we're on a deadline though. I'd have laughed if someone told me before I experienced it myself.

its weird huh? i remember really getting excited about my action figure design thesis project, but after half a year of working on it (and i worked on it more than half a year by far once it was all said and done), i was so frustrated and stressed out. When is the Dracula play? i figure around Halloween.

I think you need to give yourself the downtime. That way you can get yourself refreshed and meet your deadlines. I understand how you are feeling, though. I occasionally feel like sitting in my chair and being alone to do something quiet. It might be a touch of depression, but I say give into it a bit and you might get past it quickly.

*HUG* I am thinking about you.

Aww... Thanks! Yeah, I think I'm gonna do some things I enjoy today, relax, and have faith that things will work out as they're supposed to. I'll be thinking of you too!

when I start to feel rushed or overloaded, I tend to revert to sit-in-corner and do nothing mode. It's like full system shut-down, or when the computer freezes up because there were too many demands and you have to restart the whole thing. I say go sit and read a book. Watch movies. that sure made me feel better :)

That seems to be the general consensus. I know when I'm being given a sign, so off to the corner I go! You can come with me if you want. There's a beanbag chair for ya and everything.

so long as it's not into the corner with a dunce cap

Oooh beanbag chair!!! ::grabs blanket, book, and hot tea::

Aw, poor darlin'! Don't run yourself into the ground if you can avoid it. Snag sleep whenever you can- it's a survival thing!

*hugs* Hope you get past this soon!

*snuggle* I'm feeling better. I got some good musical work done tonight and it was very cathartic. Still quite a lot of work left to do, but I think I'll actually be able to handle it. I hope ;)
