Ah... still no sleep. I forgot how many days; I think this is 4? 5?

There's not much more for me to say. I think too much and still can't get to sleep. I did take an adult dose of Nyquil, but that was about 5 hours ago, so I guess I'm still immune to sleep-inducing drugs. Luckily, I've reached the point where exhaustion isn't a problem. I'm not physically tired anymore, but that allows my brain to work without the distraction. I'm stuck thinking more now than before.

If only I was thinking of something else. My mind is just running in circles, going over the same subject, working through every possibility. It's like when you try to go through every possible combination in those choose-your-own-ending books. I keep going back and taking a different mental route, but the story is still similar.

In any case, I'll keep my ramblings to myself. I doubt you want to hear me go on and on. Thanks for the advice and I'm sorry you had to deal with that. I need to convince myself to listen to me again. Maybe I'll get somewhere. Eh, probably not.

I'll let you know when I do get some sleep. I'm not sure exactly how much longer I should last, but with previous cases like this as a guide, I can guess at least 3 more days, though probably more. For now, I'm going to take a walk to the park on the other side of town. I haven't been there at this hour in some time.

Telo, please, just take care of yourself. You have a pretty tight circle of friends here on this forum that are concerned about you, and have no problem allowing you to vent how you feel here. I think I can speak for everyone here that we would all do whatever we could to help you out. So, remember, we're here for you.

Telo, when you were at CTY, did you get along with the kids there?

I got in a ton of arguments. In hindsight, I was an ass. Around Christmastime I found as many of them on Facebook as I could and sent a dozen apology messages.

Only one of them ever responded.

Are you going anywhere this summer where you might meet new people?

Well, see if you can make some friends at CTY; maybe you will get along with people better this time, and you might find people more sympathetic to you.

I've got about three weeks of vacation left to kill before the classes I'm taking this summer start. Dunno, but I could try and make a trip out to NJ. I'm not trying to create a false hope though. As always though, I'm on AIM if you want to talk. Hang in there, 'cause this will pass.

Northern part of the Jersey shore. Why?

Ugg... Jersey Shore. No wonder your high school sounds/is shitty, it's probably populated with *guidos trying to copy the abysmal mess that is that show. :dry:

(*When I say "guidos", I mean "guidos", and not the millions of respectable Italian-Americans such as yourself, Telo.)

Finally got a full night's rest last night. I think that means I went a grand total of 13 (right?) days with approximately 6 hours of sleep scattered across them all. Last night I slept for 7 hours and now feel completely refreshed, though I wasn't all that tired to start with.

Unfortunately, my thoughts are still the same and I'm no better off than I was 2 weeks ago. I've not accomplished anything through all that thought and am still running in circles. CTY is coming up soon, so hopefully that'll provide a decent distraction. If not, my roommate will hate me when I stay up all night, every night, staring at the wall or ceiling.

Why not? You have to tell them to find me, though. I'm not about to wander around the campus asking for people who know someone who frequents a political-simulation forum under the alias of Quaon.

That's the creeping bit, my good man.

Though I kind of have to figure out your name and/or what you look like.
