Wanna hear a secret that will make you think less of me?
I use to shut off my alarm sometime between falling asleep and waking up way too late. I don’t know when it happened. The point is, I have/had no control over it, which is why I set three alarms: My phone, my computer and my regular alarm clock. Which is pretty embarrassing in itself. Like, when your regular alarm is going BOOP BOOP BOOP and your computer is going HEY MR TAMBOURINE MAN PLAY A SONG FOR ME I’M NOT SLEEPY AND THERE IS NO PLACE I’M GOING TO and your cell phone is going BZZZZZ BZZZZZZ BZZZZ and you’re running around your room (oh, because I have to put these objects away from my bed because if I’m not physically UP, then I’ll just fall back asleep) and you can’t find any of them and your father is saying CARAGH, TURN OFF YOUR ALARMS and you’re shrieking SHUT THE FUCK UP, DAD! JUST SHUT UP! because you just woke up and you would think he KNOWS that the person these alarms are annoying the most is the chick who went to bed at 4 AM and is just now waking up! I mean, CHRIST.
That’s not the secret, the secret is back when I had this problem, I would also down three giant glasses of water before falling asleep so JUST IN CASE I turned off my alarm, I would wake up early enough because my bladder would be hurtin’.
So anyway. That’s the life I live. I haven’t done it in awhile, but it’s still part of my history and it’ll always be with me.
