I'm not usually an insomniac

Well it's almost three o'clock in the morning and I can't seem to fall asleep... which is weird, cause I've been tired for the last 24 hours...

I'm not usually one of those people who stay up ridiculously late because I can't sleep. Usually, if I'm awake this late it's because I've been doing something really entertaining for the last five hours and I can't seem to make myself quit. No such luck tonight! Maybe it's because I've spent more nights sleeping on Adrielle's springy pathetic excuse for a bed the last who knows how many days (It's almost unbearable comfortable), but my soft yet firm beloved matress has been unable to work it's magic on me. 

I love my bed, by the way. Three or four years ago I decided I was tired of having a twin bed and wanted something bigger. So I sold all my furniture, went down to Sit N Sleep, and bought myself a lovely queen size bed with the money my old furniture got me. From that day forward, I have been in love with my matress. It's big enough for me to lay in the exact middle and take up all the space, but if I have friends over I can fit up to four people on it (me included) if we squish. It's right in front of my T.v. so it's perfect for late night movie watching, and did I mention both soft and supportive? Needless to say, I usually fall right asleep.

You know what else should be working in my favor? I'm exhausted. I haven't gotten a lot of sleep over the past week because I've been too busy over at Adrielle's house coloring and painting!!! In fact, my eyes are droopy and tired right now!!! But that doesn't seem to be getting me any sleep!!! Instead I'm on my mac writing a blog entry at an entirely ungodly hour!!! (I jest. God loves three am too)

In other news (since I'm writing this anyway), positive outlook on my travel horizons. It appears I will be traveling to Denver in May to visit my other best friend at school. She was very happy to learn that, and except for juggling all the money issues, I'm excited too. Speaking of money, the mission fund, which is paying for my mission trip to Barbados this summer, is now 35% complete!!! People have been so generous!!! One lady from my old church donated $300!!!!! I nearly started crying!!! I think I'll give her a big hug when I see her on sunday. She's such a wonderful lady.

Also as I side note...

Dear DMV and IRS,
You guys suck!!! Why are you trying to extort hard-earned money from a perpetually broke college student? I know things like taxes and tags are important, but I have bills to pay you know and money to save up for travel!!! And don't day travel is just a fun thing that doesn't count. I'm opening my horizons and gaining a kind of education that is invaluable to society! I'm becoming a well rounded young woman with world knowledge!!! The kind of person you want voting in this government, not those other stupid kids who have no idea about the realities of people and life. The kind that think the whole world revolves around the fact that their boyfriend broke up with them... or whatever. And why do you hit this all at once?! It's like you guys know... oh look she has two big projects to complete for her classes on top of her regular course load, and she's working hard to pay her bills, and on top of that she has Tae Kwon Do obligations and church obligations and is trying to keep up friendships with those friends that went to school far away, lets make it tax season and also demand she pay $60 for a stupid little sticker to stick on her license plate!!! HOW FUN!!!

Ok so I'm feeling a little bitter. If you pray, how about praying that I'm able to cover the financial cost of everything going on right now? That would be super!
