The narcoleptic who couldn’t sleep *EDITX2*
So, much needed update.
I recently went to the Stockton Riverside Fringe Festival. Not the whole thing, but part of the second day. It was quite good. I must admit, when I saw how close the two stages were, I did wonder how they were going to work it, as there was no way that they could have a band on each stage at the same time. Turns out they were working it that as soon as someone finished on one stage there was someone else ready on the second stage.
And I got pics!

Chickenman!
And his partner, Chickenlady!
Cool pic on the wall outside The Green Dragon pub.
Finally got myself a new phone:
It’s funky! It’s got a built in mp3 player!
What else? Waiting to hear back about a job I applied for back home. Should hear sometime this week so, fingers crossed.
One of the simple pleasures in life for me is finding hidden things. So, you can imagine my joy when I walked past this in Boro a couple of weeks ago:
My mind works differently. Before heading to the festival, we met up in a Japanese resteraunt and had something to eat. I can’t remember what we were talking about, but I ended up asking if you could have such a thing as an insomniac narcoleptic (hence the entry title). If anyone knows the answer to that one, could they let me know? I’d still really like to find out.
Finished my other writing class and got my assignment handed in for it. It didn’t help when, at 5pm the day before it was due in, I decided that the story I was going to do wasn’t working and decided to junk the whole thing and start again. But I got it done.
BTW, if anyone would like to read the story I wrote for it and give me feedback, let me know and I’ll email it to you.
Am currently organising my room and discovered my decent mancala set yesterday. (I have 2, one folds up and cost me £1. The one I’m on about was in my Santa sack one Christmas.) So I cleaned the board, soaked the stones and dried them by hand. Then took a picture, cos I’m strange like that. Here it is:
I love telling people that I play mancala, cos they either a) don’t actually know what it is or b) think it’s difficult to learn, when the fact is it’s easy to learn. I keep threatening to teach Daphne how to play when she’s here this weekend.
That’s right. Almost forgot. I finally get to meet Daphne this weekend and I can’t wait. I really can’t wait. (And, no, it’s not about the presents.) So, if you could see your way clear to not updating much between Friday and Monday (as I won’t be online) I’d really appreciate it. Cheers m’dears.
And as I’m currently having issues with the whole typing thing, I’ll let you lot go.
But keep your eyes peeled on Wednesday as, depending on how things go, I might have a surprise for you all.

*EDIT*
Could anyone tell me how to take a screenshot of a webpage? I want to geek out my phone.
Thanks.

Thanks to Kaly, I now have:
The Dr Horrible van remote control as the wallpaper on my phone!

I totally have a huge mancala board in my cloest. I’ve been playing since I was a kid. (My grandmother’s Filipino). And it’s probably one of the easiest games to learn!

I think we have one of those mancalathingies around here. Never really played, which is weird because it totally sounds like something I would like.

You talk some sense! I love Mancala too. Haven’t played it in ages. I learned to play it from a computer game though (Quest for Glory 3, those were the days). Insomnia is the inability to stay asleep, not just fall asleep, so maybe that would be someone who keeps falling asleep at random and then waking up right away? Just a guess.
