Can't Sleep

I'm narrowly avoiding writing about what I almost just wrote. I'm not asleep though I tried to for a couple hours. I realized I live a totally lazy lifestyle as of this Christmas break, or today. Sometimes I don't even leave the house. Like today; I woke up at 330 on my own accord, went downstairs, ate some food, took a shower, then sat down and watched the Rose Bowl, which turned out to be a freaking amazing game between Texas and Michigan. I think the final was 43-42 with a field goal at no time left to win the game for Texas, and Texas' quarterback ran in for 4 touchdowns and threw for the other. It was a joke listening to the commentators pity the Michigan defense having to play against this number ten. The game was very exciting and big plays just kept happening one after the other. Then after that game I watched another game and Buffy the Vampire Slayer for the first time ever, as my dad alternated between channels. I ate some pasta and bread rolls and random things in the fridge, folded clothes, and at 10 I started playing halo, which continued until 130am. Is this not the laziest life ever? I almost feel bad. Anyways, Gagne should be here tomorrow and I want to play him in Halo and see if he wasn't lying about beating the game on legendary, because I'm having a heck of a time doing it. Also, alex said he's free so maybe we can end up playing magic. I should also go to town and buy things of the school-based nature so I can properly prepare for doing well. Mainly, I want notebooks and an agenda so I won't forget homework assignment due dates, because last semester I forgot on several occasions when stuff was due. I've also got a few books here I could be reading, two in the Icewind Dale trilogy, A Walk to Remember, and the Power of Now, which is a book my dad got me for Christmas. I'd like to compare this to the Power of Later, which in my opinion is the greater force, even though it shouldn't be. Shouldn't good triumph over evil? It doesn't in many cases.
I'm really not tired at all and it sucks, because I can't very well be doing anything productive at this hour, whereas if I was awake during the day, there are places to go and people to see. I should invite people over for poker sometime, if Thies doesn't end up inviting me over first. One of my friends supposedly joined a gang and I'm not sure if I should be worried about that. I was thinking of resolutions, and I guess I have some, they're just not what I consider resolutions for the new year, but rather things to strive for in general. I suppose I would rather be more forward with new people. I'm already blunt with friends, but I don't talk much around strangers. I'd like to make a point to ask questions in class and know my teachers, because last semester I never once asked a question or spoke to my teachers outside of class. I'd prefer to get more sleep at school, read more, and interact with people more outside of my suite. And of course I would like to acquire a female of my choosing, if I may phrase it as such. I'm feeling much more deserving than I was the last six months. I'm currently of the opinion that getting a girlfriend isn't for the purpose of finding out if she will be the one, but rather if she will bring you joy. If having a girlfriend is enjoyable, then it should be had, regardless if she is the perfect one to marry. I was previously of the picky mindset that you don't go out with someone unless you think she could be wifed. Perhaps this should be the case, as it would save a lot of heartbreaks that go on in this society, but then again, I'm getting bored with the lack of women surrounding me. Being an 18 year old male is a tough challenge. As my last girlfriend's mother put it, "don't let your young body go to waste," and by this of course she meant have sex and have it often. I think I like this thought. It has some potential for greatness. And I guess another main goal I have is to be less stressed. This goes along with the changes I intend to make in a couple weeks. Stress is bad and I don't want it. It is good in moderation, but having no stress lends itself to bombage of the mind and other bad things, and too much stress is worse than getting drugged up on weekends, or every day. Stress makes people die, if not through suicide, then through health illnesses, and balding. Perhaps balding doesn't kill you, but I'm not too sure. Everyone I know that has been bald is either dead or will be soon.
So I don't know what to do now. Should I attempt sleep again? I'm still not at all tired, so this plan seems unreasonable. Should I read? This seems far too sensible. Should I play halo and risk raising the 'rents? This seems too prone to getting people angered at my lack of sleep. Should I steal some beer out of the closet and consume it? This seems like the right choice. If in doubt, opt for alcohol. Clearly, in every case possible, alcohol has always been the best choice to solve your woes and pass time all at once. I actually think I have no idea what I want to do, but I will make an effort to read. Later, noob.
