i am dying of insomnia. i will die. i know it. i feel like i'm half way there. someone help me?
i did not sleep the last two nights at all, and the only reason i slept in toronto is because i had some ambien. AND even when i had the ambien, i was still up 3 or 4 times a night.
WWWWHHHHYYYY MMMMMEEEEEE?
if this continues, i will kill myself.

toronto: part 3.14159265people, if you've never seen phantom of the opera, you are missing a sensational show! i know it may seem corny and lame, but i cannot begin to tell you how fucking fantastic the show was. in fact, it was so fantastic, that i am taking my ass back to the theater to see the show again, tonight!
we sat in the second balcony today, and although you got a nice view of the whole stage, it was quite a distance away from the stage. in order to get a better view, i'm going back tonight and sitting in the first row. for 50 bucks a ticket, you can't go wrong.
this really is one of the most spectacular productions ever made. the costumes are brilliant; bejeweled and shiny, the stage setup is exceptional and the over all show is truly unforgettable. this really is one of those shows that one MUST see during their life time. i had shivers during the climactic scenes and my eyes watered at the end. the audience gave a standing ovation to the cast and i felt like a little girl, feverishly clapping my hands when the phantom took his bow.
that phantom....he's so misunderstood. he's my kind of guy.

I have seen it twice once in Buffalo and once in Toronto. Both times it was very good. I will admit I wanted to go see it a 3rd time. The reason being is there was a singer I liked playing the role. If memory serve he was from a band called skid row and was named Sabastain Bach. I'm glad you like this new production of it.

toronto - part deuxi wanted to see "we will rock you" in toronto, like (e:metalpeter) mentioned, but the tickets are so bloody expensive, that it appears that only super rich and well-off people are allowed to enjoy the theater. they run around 220-240 per ticket! can you believe it?
i mean i know that broadway tix are that expensive, but i didn't know that toronto tickets are that pricey too.
instead, we are going to see phantom. i know, i know, just about everyone has seen that show at some point or other, but i actually saw it in high school and i could stand to see it again. luckily, the show is in it's final run at the prince of whales theater, so instead of the 90-180 dollar tickets, they are selling ALL remaining seats for 50 bucks. the show ends next week, so it looks like we JUST made it.
(e:ladycroft), we are staying in the same exact location we stayed when we came here last time except that my hotel is across from the comfort inn. we ate at ho-lee-chow today! where are those pictures from that visit? why don't i still know how to link to journals? why am i so lame?
i do love toronto. i don't think we realize what a world class city we have right under our nose. i want to move here and learn how to speak canadian.
on another note, i have been forced to read harry potter, 5th book, and am now totally potterized. this was my first harry potter book that i have read in its entirety. i remember reading the first couple to faben when she was just a wee bit old (hee hee), but could never really get into it. she went on to become a potter fanatic. i think i had a snobbish attitude about it, thinking that i was too sophisticated to read such childish crap. but just recently, because faben has been nagging me so terribly, and probably because i have a shit load of work that i am so good at avoiding, i gave in, only to find that it actually is pretty darn good.
i can't wait for the movie to come out, and i think i have a total crush on snape. he is so dark, mysterious, moody, angry and tormented, precisely what makes a man sexy. definitely hotness material, but most certainly NOT relationship material. on the other hand, we all know that relationships are boring. silent, dark and internally tortured men are HOT!
i decided that i am back into men. i mean, i've always been into them, but lately i've had very little interest. however, i think my interest in that whole male/female interaction is returning. i wish i was still flying. i could have a boyfriend in every city and then it would never get boring like normal relationships do. i remember this cute, , rastafarian boyfriend in st. croix. although he was blonde with blue eyes, he was definitely croixian. i guess when the danes colonized the island, they left more than just architecture behind. (ok, seriously...i don't even know if they left any architectural styles behind, but they did sure leave some cute genes)
i wont have many pictures to post, as i don't have a digital camera anymore. just recently, marvin took the one i had, which was actually his from when we lived together as man and nag. i only have my phone camera which i guess would suffice, but i forgot the charger at home. so, there are only a few pictures of the hotel room and the science center that i'll come home with, unless the camera lasts longer than expected.
seriously, why are emotionally unstable men so sexy? i can't get them out of my head.

Wow those are very expensive. I havn't looked into prices yet. I did find some deals on line that sound like they where cheeper then that with a hotel but I didn't book it cause I'm not really sure when I could go or if the deal really gaurentes a ticket or not. In term of Phantom I thought I read somewhare that Phantom closed and that this is a new verison of it or that something has changed. In any event I hope you are having a great time. It is important to get away every so often.

awayso i made it out of buffalo last night. i took a 4 day break and booked a fantastic hotel in toronto. i have tons of pics but i can't post from my phone, cuz...well...i'm in canada and it's not working.
we have a sweeeet room, with 2 tv's, dvd players, fat robes and a delicious breakfast buffet. i'm not big on breakfast buffets but this one is very, very tasty. we also have a tiny kitchenette and real silverware and dishes and fridge and stove and microwave. and the pool is awesome. there are rooftop jacuzzis that overlook the entire city. it is just breathtaking. i want to come for a romantic getaway here, like now!

the rooftop
rooms
it's unnatural how much i love hotel rooms. i guess thats one of the main reasons why i loved flying. it's because i got to stay in hotel rooms all the time. people told me that i would eventually get sick of them, but i never did. i miss hotels.
today we are headed to the ontario science center.

First of all I hope you have a great time away from Buffalo. I admit I do lookforward to your pictures being posted (I assume you will when you get back). That room looks like it is a suite or in a suite Hotel. I have never stayed in a big fancy room like that. I'm sure it is some place I can't afforid. The sort of ironic thing is that today or maybe yesterday I felt like escaping to Toronto. I didn't want to go this weekend with Allentown. But I'm thinking maybe a Baseball game then the Strip club. I also wouldn't mind going to see the Queen Musical (so does that make me a little gay, ah maybe, Fuck it Queen Rocks). In any event I hope you have a great time on the rest of your trip and have a nice time away from work and Buffalo.

way back when, before i knew (e:Uncutsaniflush), i went to my family doctor for help with my insomnia. He told me to have sex. Actually, he told me to go to a bar, pick someone up and get laid. Now, i don't know if that was just his not so subtle way of telling me to relax or not... but he knew i was single... and not into one-night stands. Silly man. Think that will work for you? :O)
I say try that stuff (e:theecarey) did a post on, it was like some vanilla tylenol thing. Of course the danger with that is if it works I'm sure it has a very high addicting factor. Not that I have had insomnia. But it seems that when I can't sleep if I turn a movie or Show I'm really into then a fall asleep on the movie.
Nyquil!
This probably sounds kind of wierd, but sometimes accupuncture can help with insomnia. Sometimes it eases away the tension that prevents a person from sleeping.
ajay is on the right track... but not just sex. lots of mind blowing crazy hot trapeze sex. like the kind that makes you call in to work the next day. and if you still can't sleep then have some more. and if that doesn't work..... well at least you had some great sex, right?
Sex is always the answer.
oh jenks....it's juicy, no doubts there.
I used to have absolutely terrible insomnia. I was on some anti-depressants and anti-anxiety drugs for a while and that made it worse. once, I went about five days without sleep but was still tired.
If you are on any medication, talk to your doctor.
If this is part of a larger mental funk, talk to a therapist.
If you love your life, have no issues, not on any medication, and still can't sleep? Well, my little brain has no idea.
Be well.
Insomnia isn't one of my problems, but the only time I couldn't sleep for days was when I was on Welbutrin. I got a book called Nutritional Healing. The section on insomnia has many suggestions. It lists foods and drugs to be avoided like, caffeine, as well as foods that should be eaten before bed like turkey, or nut butter. If you message me your physical address I could mail a copy of that section for you.
Whatever you do, don't kill yourself!
yeah, the ambien helps some....much better than if i had nothing, but it doesnt fix it or let me sleep all night long like they do in the commercial. but at least i was able to sleep some instead of none with the ambien. i wonder how that lunesta stuff works, or the ambien slow release.
we need some juicy gossip from you. Usually I would think "didn't get any sleep for the last two nights" was the beginning of a good story...
I feel ya. eh havent found anything to help full blown insomnia yet. Ambien doesnt help it at all, huh? - was wondering that for my own sleepless nights and had a feeling that it wouldnt. Insomnia bites big time. Upside for me is an insane amount of energy & silliness.
Dont hang yourself quite yet--just hang in there!
