The outpourings of a deranged mind

Dead

OK, so it’s my own fault since I did set out to drastically improve my social life, but recently I haven’t so much been burning the candle at both ends as dousing it in petrol and setting fire to it with a flame thrower. I’ve already marked next weekend as a ‘quiet weekend’ in my diary because every free weekend I’ve had has ended up with me doing something fun (yes, poor me, forced to go out and have fun all the time - my blog, can whinge about whatever I like - now shush) but I think that’s still a little bit too far away. In order to try and catch up on things like sleep and… actually, just sleep, I’m going to spend Sunday dead. This could leave to some interesting conversations:

“You coming to the pub Sunday afternoon?”
“No, sorry, I’ll be dead.”

But it does have a certain finality about it that’s hard to argue with. Tired, ill, wanting to mooch around can all be argued against (”Oh, go on, just come out for one”), death stops any kind of silly persuasion going on.

For those wishing to morn my passing I’ll be dead from…oooh…lets say 3am Sunday morning (allows me to go out Saturday night) until 5am Monday morning (when I’ll be brutally raised from the dead by my alarm). I’ll then be mostly dead until about 10/11am, but that’s normal; it takes me that long just to come to terms with the week.

    this saturday will be a quiet affair.

    I had a nightmare last night that my lens cracked.

    That would be a Bad Thing™. Before I let you anywhere near any of my lenses tomorrow we’re 100% sure that it was a dream about one of your lenses breaking, yes? :D

    Tomorrow will be a nice, quiet, relaxing day, quite looking forward to it.

    So you’re pulling a Hotblack Desiato on us?

    Not quite - he was dead for a year for tax purposes. I am simply being dead for a day for… well, tiredness purposes really.
