Digital Journal Entry

Hello world!

I have not slept and I am annoyed. I hate how my body just rejects sleep sometimes, like I can go a full 24 hours without it and then when I get into bed my body just doesn’t allow sleep. It’s just so silly, and I wish we, as humans, didn’t need to sleep at all. So much time wasted when we could be doing stuff!

Today I did some chores like buying a couple things and spending more time working. I finalised my charity idea for work, and I worked on some more of my script Longing To Be Longed. It’s nice so far! I also watched Sentimental Value by Joachim Trier which was pretty swell. I hated the cinema, like my ass hurt and I was so uncomfortable, but the movie mostly made up for it. It was really sweet, and it’s such a “me” movie.

I’m getting ahead of myself though, because one of the reasons I couldn’t sleep was my stupid hand tattoo. I got my first laser treatment to remove it a couple weeks ago, and it hurt at the time but since then it’s been fine. It swelled a bit but it didn’t actively hurt, until last night when it got horribly itchy. It’s important not to itch, but my hand was burning and it was so horrid. I resisted the urge mostly, but it was a challenge. Right now it’s calmed down, but I’m worried it will come back. Anyway, it does look a fair bit faded already, and that’s just after a single session. Whoo!

I forgot to mention also, that I bought some stationary for Japanese language learning. It’s nice to physically write stuff down and get better that way, even though I genuinely never write anything down anymore. Even in school, it was transitioning to computers in every lesson, not just computing, by the time I finished. Writing Japanese down though gets the characters in my brain more, which is good. I tested myself on 46 hiragana characters and got 27, which isn’t too bad! It’s progress and progress is nice.

I will get back to work though. On the grind.
