3.30am Thoughts

posted on December 31st, 2008

You know, I've been spending the last couple of nights awake. I love it. Total silence except for some mosquito whizzing by. According to Wikipedia I have what's called Transient insomnia. Cool.

I've thought about my life being portrayed in a movie before.. Like being the main character of a movie where my story is told. Carlito's Way style.

But never this before. A novel where the story of my life is told. My private life that is. I think it would sell, really well in fact.

I think of myself as being a reserved person. I don't like to talk about what's going on in my mind. I like to day dream too much. I like picturing myself ten years from now. I like to think on complicated projects. I like to dream about relationships. I like to think about a perfect future.

And that's why I keep it all to myself. If I'm thinking about a project, usually it's way too complicated to explain to ordinary people. If I'm thinking about relationships, I usually end up laughing at myself, let alone other people.

I think those who know/knew me, would be surprised to read about my private life. A quiet, humble guy like me. Who would have thought I have so much going on under the hood.

And that's why I'd like to write something like this. Split up my life into several periods and go into detail in each and every one. Except the problem is that if I had to write this novel, I would end up having no life to talk about because there's so much to write about. Confused? I understand.

Let me get back to counting sheep.

Spoken like a true wiki fan. =P "I can't sleep... ooh, let me go find what I've got exactly! XD"

Haha, he's considering becoming a writer. ;)

Writing about your life I find, though, tends to get depressing. Some bits you just don't want to remember. And you sort of feel everythign all over again, but can never find the words to describe it on paper.

My opinion anyway. =)
Ah c'mon, Wikipedia is cool :P

Well, feeling everything again as you replay your life in your mind, I find that very nice.

I mean, you can feel the emotions again, without any rush at all.

And usually I do find words to describe it... especially if it's late at night... my mind goes into overdrive and words start popping up like lightning strikes in a thunderstorm!
"You can feel the emotions again."

Exactly. =P there are some I'd rather not re-live, thanks. ;)
Happy New Year!
Hi Omega! Happy new year to you too! May it be a prosperous year! :) Good luck with your move! ;)
Writing about your life...wow...I think that thought crosses everyone's minds at some point...and we are usually surprised to see how the perception that we have of ourselves can be so different to the idea "of us" that many people have. And we enjoy the idea that if only people knew :)

I guess that the most difficult part would be to know how to write your autobiography :) That must be the hardest part :)

Hope that the insomnia will only be temporary.
Excellent comment, wen :)

What I find difficult about autobiographies is that I keep coming back to add more details that I happen to have forgotten about before.. like when you come across a bus ticket or a party invitation or something like that.. it's like your mind is triggered to remember a whole lot of details that you don't normally think of.

Insomnia was just temporary, my fault for messing up my internal clock!
