acrostic.

I really don’t mind getting so little sleep. Really, what are

Nights for if not catching up on work, television, and reading?

So what if there’s really no one else around to talk to at that hour? I mean…

Oh, wait just one second there, buddy! There’s no need to point out the bags under my eyes.

Makeup can fix anything these days, after all. In any case,

Not getting enough sleep is hardly my biggest concern. There’s always something more important that

I need to get done, something I put off all day, something I can’t do with anyone else watching me, something I’ll only be able to tolerate doing when I’m drained to the point of exhaustion, when there’s absolutely nothing else better to do, when there’s finally no excuse not to. Something I certainly couldn’t do if I was

Asleep.
