Crumbs of Crazy Sleep

Inkblot doesn't know what's wrong with her lately! She can't fall asleep for at least an hour or so after she goes to bed. Often it takes even longer. She also can't seem to fall asleep before 5 AM. Normally, Inkblot goes to bed around 2 AM, 3 AM if she is really hyper. But Inkblot has been up all too late for the past couple weeks. Not only are Inkblot's sleeping patterns all out of whack, but so are her eating habits. She hasn't been hungry lately because she isn't very active during the day (because she can't seem to get a summer job and there are hardly any dance classes all summer). She gets hungry about an hour after she gets up, and then doesn't want anything to eat for the rest of the day. The next time she is hungry is around 4 AM. But it would be completely awkward to turn down her mom's dinner, so she eats it even though she isn't hungry. And that's why Inkblot seems to be gaining a few pounds, which doesn't make her very happy. Next week is dance intensives at Inkblot's studio, so she is certain to work everything out. Yay!
Inkblot has also been crazy busy at Facebook lately. In case you don't know, Facebook has been all about these new "applications". Things like: Places I've Been, My Moods, and SuperPoke! Fun stuff, but way too addictive. Well, Inkblot is officially obsessed with the Facebook applications, especially iLike. iLike is an application where you can find new music, tell your friends about the music you like, see who's on tour, and play a music challenge game. The music challenge is awesome!! Inkblot has to force herself to stop playing. The application plays a short segment of a song and you have to guess either the song title or the artist name. iLike rates you on how fast you are, how many songs you get right, your percentage correct, and your rank (like music apprentice or music junkie). Find it here.
Inkblot also became re-obsessed with Etsy. It's an eBay-like site for handcrafted items. Inkblot likes to call this "indie shopping". She loves to support small business owners ahead of huge corporations. And she can sell her crafts on Etsy too. Though she hasn't done that yet. Its also fun to get new ideas for things to make. More cookie crumbs, if you will.
Inkblot wants everyone to find their own cookie crumbs and send them her way! Because cookie crumbs make us happier and we should all share our happiness with our friends. Much love,
Inkblot
