If a blogger blogs and there's no one there to read it, does the blogger makes any posts?

I was so tired tonight. I had a super long day with a lot of stress and anxiety leading up to it -- a photo shoot with some mighty important people if I do say so myself. I could hardly keep my eyes open at 10pm and it was actually quite painful to be awake by the time I got into bed at 10:45pm. I drifted off shortly after, was awakened by a wrong number call on my cell phone just after 12am and had to go to the bathroom at 12:35am. Now, I'm up -- wide awake. It's as if I was just in dire need of a power nap and not a full night sleep and now, I'm raring to go. Except tomorrow, this little episode will make me feel exhausted. I missed my daily starbucks dose today and I swear my entire equilibrium is off. Say what you will but that $2.33 on a tall skim misto with extra foam is the key to happiness and a steady life rhythm.
But alas, now I'm up! and using exclamation points! Ah, what to do, what to do? Read other people's blogs. Write my own blog.

In taking out my computer at 1am to write this, I actually thought: I wonder what happens on the internet between 10pm and 9am (the span of time in which I am usually completely tuned out from my usually very tuned in forum). Well, I'm sure a lot goes on because a) aren't there a lot of nocturnal types out there? I don't actually know any or befriend these types but I have heard that they exist and 2) the world does not stop just because I go to sleep -- or does it? I've done some surfing at this late hour for me and found that many of the sites I regularly check have not been updated since last I looked earlier in the evening. I can conclude that while internet action certainly does not halt, it does slow, as it should. Or perhaps, I'm simple too early for the real night action and must stay up past 2am for the full effect. No thanks.

Whatever, what the hell am I doing up? Did I mention I had a cookie on the way back from the bathroom? and some juice too. It had been two hours so I was hungry. Now, I think I'd like a full meal -- ah, like breakfast. I think I'll refrain on the off chance that I'll crash again in the next few minutes.

Also, did I mention that I had a lovely conversation with my roommate (who had just arrived home, she's actually cool) whilst cookie in hand? I haven't had this much action at 1am since I was on Jdate (I kid, I kid!). Thems were the days.

Does it bother anyone else that spell check tries to correct "internet" to "Internet?" If I wanted it capitalized, I would have called it: The Internets or The World Wide Web and been born seventy years ago. I love and appreciate all the internet has done for me and my little life but I don't think it deserves that kind of recognition. Was the first guy who created the internet names Internet Goldstein? I think not. Stop correcting me spell check, when will you learn? Look a me! What a night bird - ranting angrily about something entirely benign! brilliant.

Ok, now I'm feeling sleepies again. It was silly of me to think I could be cool and join the trendy club of people who write at in the middle of the night. Let's be honest, I'd much rather be sleeping -- and therein lies what all the troubles in my life come down to. I just love me some REM.

Goodnight and good puppy dreams.
