Are you familiar with those nights where you've slept in the exact same position all night? No turning over, no getting up to use the bathroom, no flailing about, etc? My recent (ill-advised and idiotic) promise to start blogging again feels a lot like trying to wake up from what has amounted to a rock-solid sleep....only worse. There is a certain groggy contentedness that comes after such a restful sleep, yet the mental sleep from which I now attempt to rouse myself feels like I took benadryl right before I let someone hit me over the head with a frying pan who then gave me an alarming amount of horse tranquilizer and threw me into a giant bed in a pitch-black, soundless room. Sleeping beauty was in the room next to me. After she woke up she knocked on my door, though after receiving no answer she left and had a full and beautiful life and ultimately passed away and I still hadn't woken up. Imagine trying to wake up from that and you'll get a sense of what it's like for me to write creatively again. I spend all day designing things to very literal and non-creative-nor-humorous standards. It'll take a bit of work to wake up fully, but this post is the equivalent of me sitting up in bed.

http://www.sweet-juniper.com/2010/10/part-kid-part-machine-all-cop.htmlThat is the web address for a link that I embedded in my last post. I think a big part of me taking such a long break from blogging is because NO ONE commented on how awesome that link was. The only comment was from my mother who didn't actually click on the link and was therefore very confused. Click on the link to see a little kid dressed up as ROBOCOP. It will brighten your day for sure.

Here's the real problem with that kind of sleep: when you wake up, your hips hurt. At least mine do. I'm not sure what that does to your analogy, but there you go.
The robot kid was pretty great. Maybe that's what Jonner needs...
Glad to have you back in the blogosphere. Word.
First of all, there was no link embeded in your post of long ago--at least not in mine (I checked). That little one is way cute.
As for your drowsy yet welcomed return to the land-of-blog,it is cause for much rejoicing and celebration! I wouldn't have even known about it had Naomi not called to ask me if I'd read it. Yes, I'd just given up.
See me smile.
This is how we know we really need to convert Mom to Google Reader.
