10 reasons why insomnia sucks

mousme1- My cats seem to be able to sleep 23 hours a day. I am jealous. They are currently snuggled up to each other right next to my computer.
2- Buying things on Amazon.com without being sure if that's what I really was looking for. Been trying to find a book on urban wicca, and I think it's called "City Magick" but I'm not sure. Was going to wait for Firewillow to wake up and ask her, but that's *checks watch* at least three hours away. And it was longer when I ordered the book.
3- Canned pineapple. I like it as a rule, but something about having that kind of snack at 4:30am seems wrong somehow.
4- Nobody online to talk to.
5- Knowing the rest of the day is pretty much shot because I'm going to be an exhausted wreck.
6- Overtired, overstressed and on the verge of tears because of it.
7- Far too much time on my hands to think. This is always bad.
8- No television.
9- Fighting off random urges to clean apartment, which would only make noise and annoy the neighbours.
10- Breakfast waaaaaay too early in the morning.
I retooled all the text in my LiveJournal, because I'm sick and tired of labelling myself a corporate drone. If I have the energy I will go and change my userinfo page as well.
Maybe I'll try to think of a plot for a novel to write. Of course, all the novels I wrote before were so damned awful (well, they were pretty good if you consider they were written by a not-so-well-read teenager who was at least trying to avoid Angst, to my credit) that I'm not sure where to start. I don't think I've actually ever written a novel in which the plot made sense or in which the characters were well-developed or plausible.
Hey! There are lots of actual writers who read this LJ (griffen and kimberly_a spring to mind). Any tips for an aspiring yet untrained novelist? (other than to use spellcheck regularly and to proofread, obviously, and to avoid the overuse of parentheses ^_-)
I am trying to find an HTML colour code for a really pale yellow for my LJ page background, but they all seem to come out much darker. Am feeling thwarted.
:::edit:::
So, apart from slightly altering the look of my LiveJournal, I also went ahead and wrote a lengthy new bio for my userinfo page
It's now 10 minutes past seven. I'm actually kind of tired. I may try to catch an hour or so of sleep before officially beginning my day.
