A Frightening(?) Look Into My Mind!

Sometimes the way my brain works really irks me...

Ever since I can remember I've always had a pretty active imagination. It's come in handy at times, sure, especially whenever I had to take a long trip somewhere and either wasn't allowed to or forgot to bring something to listen to music with me. Then there's other times where it can be a bit of a pain, like the past couple of nights for instance.

There I am just trying to get some much needed sleep and my brain is working overtime on some potential writing ideas, made all the odder when said ideas are for projects that are all but abandoned and there really wouldn't be a point in it anyway, but I just can't seem to stop myself. Then, a debate starts up in my head of whether or not I should get up and start writing (which helps to calm my head a bit in these kinds of situations, but ruins any chance of a good rest) or just do my best to shut out those thoughts and get some sleep. Which drags on until I lose consiousness and wake up in the morning feeling like my head was caught in a vice.

I really wish I could take advantage of situations like this, but for the most part it's kind of random and almost never on the thing I want to work on at the moment. It's beyond frustrating.

Anyways, I've made it a bit farther into the Bravely Default demo. I've already mastered a few of the jobs and I'm pretty sure I'm close to hitting the demo's level cap. It's altogether pretty neat, hopefully the full game is just as interesting.

I've also been watching a few (read: all) of the trailers for Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth lately. I'm liking the artstyle so far, hopefully plans for an English localization are in the works because it'd be a shame if that wasn't the case.

Ok, bye.

I have nights that I dream about solving the same technical problem over and over again. I wake up, realize that neither the problem or the solution make any sense at all then fall back to sleep and do it all over again.

I wake up in the morning feeling like I haven't slept

I've woken up feeling like that a bunch of times, man is it annoying.

I'm pretty sure Persona Q will make it to North America/Europe. The characters and overall franchise are still loved in the west and I'm rather confident both Atlus and SEGA realize that.

Sorry about your headaches,mate. Perhaps you "should" write down your ideas in a notebook or a word document on your pc. Maybe after getting them out you will feel more serene and be able to truly rest. Those ideas may also come in handy if you decide to make your own game or write a book. Don't squander your imagination!

That's the thing, for the most part I already have. I have a notebook just about filled with all the other ideas I've had over the years, including the some of the ones that kept me awake recently.

It's kind of like my head went into 'reruns' for lack of a better term, and knowing I already wrote down those ideas was what was particularly annoying.

i remember all my dreams these days and they're ALL totally insane.  Sometimes I can remember dreams more accurately than real life. 

you could always keep a digital recorder or something by your bed and speak your ideas into it.  I used to do that.  it's easy to do in bed.  some phones have that capability too.

I've had a few dreams like that, but for the most part it's my nightmares that I can recall pretty well.

I used to have an old mini-tape recorder that I intended to use for that, but lost it years ago.

digital recorders are pretty cheap these days.  you never know, u might be able to record some great ideas, and it would remove the argument going on in your head...

I don't remember writing this, but shit, looks like I actually wrote my thoughts down this ti... no, you wrote it. Dammit. My excuse is, when it's cold, like it is now where I am, I do not want to get out from underneath my warm comforter. 

And no matter what the weather is, I wear a sweater in my office, cause the equipment needs to be kept cold. Damn. 

But seriously, I feel your pain, man. I got legitimately scared over the winter break because I seriously could not get to sleep after having been awake far too damn long!

I used to suffer from seriouly bad insomnia when I was younger, so I kinda understand that feeling.
