My first diary entry...

I don’t plan to write much.

Haven’t planned anything I’m about to write.

But I did plan on writing something, since abouts 10 mintues ago.

...I couldn’t sleep this night.

For hours into the night I stayed up on crappy internet RPG games, so overjoyed with them... Tribal Wars, Tanoth... There was another I only found earlier & had not payed enough attention to the name yet. I’d also been kept up with watching Lord of the Rings, the first one, Fellowship of the Ring.

At sometime around 2:00AM I decided I should atleast try to get some sleep & do something the following morning that I wouldn’t normally do, for a bit of variaty or excitement... I logged out of the RPG’s & also checked the five new threads posted on Ultimate-Guitar before closing down all programs, there were a couple I checked out & one that I posted in, I think. Then I shut down the computer, did my usual stuff, got in to bed & just lay there for about 10 minutes or so, couldn’t sleep & could barely think or anything. I got bored & I still wasn’t tired, so after LOTR: FOTR finished, I swapped it... For LOTR: The Two Towers.

It got about half way through it & I heard my brother coming in down stairs, drunk! I could hear him climb the stairs & stumble into the bathroom, & then faint sounds of puking into the toilet... Pleasent, innit. I got out of bed again & headed to the landing, where I met my brother staggering out the bathroom. Half way downstairs, he called out to me to fetch him a bottle of water he always seemed to have in the fridge.

The only problem I had with getting him things, was that he never thanked me (usually, I don’t really mind if I’m not thanked, but I’m picking faults), he never drank any of it & he kept me awake for even longer this night.

Anyway, I was downstairs getting myself a drink of milk (my favourite drink) & getting my brother his bottle of water, when I heard these loud thunderous crashing & banging sounds (it honestly sounded like my brother was trying to rape the floor!), but then they moved towards the bathroom & I knew again, he was rushing to throw up. I carried on & walked upstairs with the drinks, asked my brother if he wanted his bottle there with him, but never got an answer as he was a bit occupied. I continued into my room (& my brother’s, we share a room), put his bottle next to his bed, put my drink next to my bed on top of my chest of drawers, got into bed & carried on watching LOTR.

My brother came in the bedroom, falling from the door to his bed that is on the opposite side of the room in a swift motion, I didn’t pay much attention ‘cause he’d been like this many times before, so I just prolonged my LOTR viewing.

My mam had come in to check on him as I was just getting annoyed that she kept getting in the way of the TV. Once she was done with sorting him out, she left & went to bed, I couldn’t be bothered to roll over & check the time, so I’m guessing this was near 4:00AM now.

After my brother had been puking into a bowl/bucket/thing (not really sure what it was), sounding like a constipated bear being gutted with a teaspoon for a while, he finally drifted off to sleep, but breathing heavily enough to keep me awake, he was still louder than the TV, but soon after LOTR: TTT had come to an end. I turned off the DVD player, I turned off the TV, I turned off my mind, although I still couldn’t sleep.

After about 5 minutes, I got bored & saw my phone just lying there. I picked it up, not knowing what I would do with it. I went through my contact list on it to see who I could text. I went passed the person’s name of who I fancy. She was on holiday, some hours ahead of us... Or behind, either way, it didn’t matter as I had nothing to text them with & I knew they didn’t have credit so they couldn’t text back or anything. But I just had to do something, so I wrote in a text message to her “Ha-ha my brother’s pissed as hell & I thought I’d tell someone... Your that someone! 0_o Ly x” Some people say I’m weird, but I’m not really surprised when I send messages like that to people who don’t even know either of my brothers.

Another 5 or 10 minutes passed. Just hoping she might have got credit & would text me back, waiting anxiously. I tried to get my mind on something else. I glanced around the room & noticed the blinds on the window. The window was open slightly, so every now & then there would be a draft to make blinds look as though they were doing a Mexican Wave, like a stadium full of people at a football match. This caught my attention for about an hour. I just stared at it as if it was actually interesting, or even amazing, even though I knew it was some crappy little thing that probably happens every night, it just so happens I was up to see it this time.

After trying to draw away from the Magical Mexican Blinds (yes, I named them, but as a group, would be annoying trying to remember the names of each individual blind), I noticed how light it was outside. Crack of dawn. I knew I wasnt getting any sleep, so I thought about getting up & going downstairs to watch TV, but then I thought there’d be nothing good on TV this early. I re-thought & contemplated going on the downstairs (family) computer, but thought I’d just wind up back on those damned RPG’s. I promised myself not to go on the RPG’s.

I sat up in bed. Reached for my trousers. Whacked ‘em on. Crept downstairs & turned the computer on. I signed on to my account, went on to the internet, went to Ultimate-Guitar, but didn’t sign in on that, or do anything with it. Just left it there.

I brought up Microsoft Word...

I started to write.

This is what I ended up with.

This is more than I’ve written for any of my coursework, in any subject.

I wrote this in about an hour.

...This is for a select few.
