The Importance of Being Idle

Are Frogs Significant?

Still awake huh? Yep, for some reason I can't sleep again tonight, and I still feel like I'm about to move all my insides outside any minute. Which is no fun, let me tell you.
I hate feeling sick. I know that when I'm well I'm not exactly the busiest guy in the world, but when I'm sick and can't do anything much, all I can think of is all the things I could've been doing when I was lying down trying not to puke. I guess it's like a small version of the "carpe diem" effect you get from watching some life affirming movie, when you think "My god, I'm wasting so many precious seconds of my life!" and you resolve to live each day to it's fullest, truly appreciating the magic that is life here on planet Earth. But before you've even gone to bed that day, the resolve is failing, its turning into a gleaming bright idea in your head, an ideal you'll maybe work your way towards... and in the morning it's gone.
Anyway, the point is, it's 2.30 in the morning, and I'm still awake and not enjoying one minute of it. Oh yeah, and did I mention the frogs again? Remember how I stood on one on the way home from the pub Friday night? Well, after I'd dropped Ronnie off at home last night and I was driving out of Whittlesey, there were more frogs hopping across the road... I was very careful not to run any of them over.
