I tried counting sheep
Another sleepless evening. Notes to self:
- Try not to imagine you're lying on a small, slowly rising platform raising itself on a telescoping central pillar, which gets thinner & thinner, swaying more and more the higher you rise. Try not to picture yourself gripping onto the sides of the platform to stop yourself being thrown off.
- Try not to imagine yourself in various scenes from your past life, acting out plainly ridiculous fantasies that include Jedi force powers. And remarkable martial arts prowess.
- Especially, try not to feature such absurdities in your mental pictures of what upcoming events will be like. It does not help you look forward to them. It is unlikely that situations will arise at parties that will require you to demonstrate unguessed-at karaoke/fire-fighting/counselling abilities against your will.
Now make with the zzz-zzz.

AWVC uses the Markdown formatting system, a very simple way to format your comments. Whitespace is converted directly. Enclose a phrase with asterisks to italicise, and two asterisks (**) to embolden. A good introduction to the Markdown format is available here.
Cleverly, though, the preview is basically useless (it will just show what you've typed). If you want a real preview, enter your text into the Markdown Dingus, then re-enter it here.
