A brief sliding scale on sleep.

Two hours of solid sleep (not rest) is what's required. I need at least two hours. I've subsisted on three, and I believe that I can be semi-coherent on four. Ideally, I'd prefer eight hours uninterrupted, but I've usually managed on five.

Thus far, for the last three months, I've been counting my blessings whenever I manage six hours on a weekday and seven on the weekend. That's not been happening, and it's been more like three and a half to four and six hours (weekday/end) respectively.

When the bags under my eyes begin to resemble the lost and found warehouses at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International then I know that sleep is indeed a precious commodity. :/

iMeme ficlets

I haven't written drabbles in four years. 376 words in total.

I may or may not, post these to dvlwears_prada.


1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.
2. Turn your music player on and turn it on random.
3. Write a drabble/ficlet related to each song that plays. You only have the length of the song to finish the drabble; you start when the song starts and stop when it's over. No lingering afterwards!
4. Do five of these and post them.
