Ever get this?

I'm a little ill at the moment and last night I was a little bit doing that dreaming while awake thing, which lead me to wonder (this morning) whether anyone else gets that. It's like daydreaming, in that you're awake and imagining the whole thing, and like dreaming in that it feels kindof real at the time, it's generally pretty random and crazy, and you can't just stop (unlike daydreaming).
So your left with being awake, but a sort of super imposed dream at the same time. So at the time it makes perfect sense, but afterwards you realise that it was all pretty much a dream.
 I've only ever had it as a negative dream, I supposed this is because it only ever really happens when I'm ill.
For example, last night I though I was reading MSpaintadventures but starting in the middle. It was really frustrating because I really felt like I was ruining the plot by reading bits I hadn't got to yet, as well as the fact that I wanted to go to sleep anyway, but I couldn't stop. It was only this morning that was aware that I clearly wasn't reading it. I wasn't even thinking of anything definite plot-wise, I just thought I was reading it.
I got off pretty lightly really as things go though, one time I thought I was surrounded by really boring rocks. They were just floating around my head and talking about politics and really boring stuff, but their mumbley words (although not really, like dream words) went straight to your brain. Also one of them was having an affair. Now that was pretty bad.

And then to top it all off, when I did get to sleep I felt really ill in my dreams as well. (It wasn't a bad dream though, just one of those short and rather weird ones. I wasn't exactly a hero either.)

Anyway, does anyone else get this? I've never heard anyone mention it before.

It is now March.

Thought I'd let you guys know that I finally finished my H.C.D comic thing.(click link  for bigger pic) It's not that great, but it would be a bit low if I didn't put it up here seeming as I've been mentioning it a fair bit as evidence of me actually doing anything.
In real life news not much is happening. Doing work, Bible study is going cool, failing spectacularly at exams. I found someone else who seems to like a lot of the same movies as me, discovered that 'buddy comedys' is actually a film genre (buddy comedies are pretty fun).
Dude life's a crazy thing. Did you know that? It's full of stuff all the time. I think maybe I should hang out in the kitchen a bit more, but I need to print screens some online test shots first. Guy next door ran out of tea, which is pretty sad but I've run out too so there's not much I can do about that. You never know what's Gonna happen next either. Also I think I've been accidentally stealing peoples mugs. I have 4 identical mugs here and I know that at least one of them isn't mine. I don't really know what I'm saying here. Not much really. Life is cool, try your best , generic statement!


Also, why is it that Pi had to be discovered first, but has the hardest background story to write? I know exactly what happens with e, and I'm pretty up to scratch on i so why couldn't they be first? Meh.

Also it's still nostalgia season, but I'ma Gonna try not to waste a load of time watching stuff or anything. OSTs are still cool though. Yes, I did watch the Baratie arc. So Nostalgic, man I can't believe it was that long ago.

Worst Lecture, ever.

Sometimes I draw because I'm bored. Sometimes I draw because I have an idea I want to get down on paper. Sometimes I just draw to vent a bit. This was last AI lecture:

That was such a painful lecture. It was like listening to that Eragon dragon talking while feeling really fidgety and impatient. I really wished someone would just give me some Ikea furniture and ask me to rip it apart with my hands, and then grind it to dust.

I don't know how long we spent on that question. It was a long time, (at least half an hour or so) measured in awkward pauses.
It's all very well being 'interactive' but sometimes you have to step back and wonder why people aren't answering your questions. Or better yet, if nobody answers your questions, maybe you should just move on. Please, please don't just wait for an answer. Especially if people clearly have no idea how to answer the question anyway and are giving incorrect answers.



The worst part was, I was actually rather interested. It was one of my preferred area's of maths, and I quite enjoy trying to solve these problems. Admittedly I was pretty stumped (or I'd have gotten on with it by myself) so I really wanted her to explain how to solve it.
What actually happened is that the question was dragged out reeeeally slowly, (and I wasn't really happy with the method we used either. A mon avis, you should try and avoid counting different patterns when using perms and coms.) and eventually set for us to do by ourselves.
In other news. Internets cannot be unread! I swear I didn't know! It... it was so uncannon! So unexpected! I feel like I strayed into unfamiliar parts of the web there... D:

Just an update...

Just another update post really. Because it's 3am, and I'm seeing if this coffee is going to sink in enough for me to do annoying calculus.
I went for a walk today. I don't like walking for no reason - I prefer to have some sort of goal, so I thought I'd explore the roads I hadn't walked down past Ed-Herb. Except that apparently one of them is a car park that doesn't go anywhere, and the other-one isn't a road. It's a dark patch. So I saw a road though some tree's that looked a bit new and thought I'd try and find out where that went. Turns out it's a road I vaguely frequently walk down anyway so that was nothing new. It was a nice walk though, just me, the night and ELO.
I also managed to dye my hair to the extent that I can notice the colour difference, and not just when it's in direct and bright sunlight. I don't really mind that no one else is really going to notice, it's just nice to feel a bit of a change.
Also, yeah I have finished the hourly comic day comic, I just haven't scanned it in yet. It's progress though right?
And I've got a π origin story now. (Much thanks to Dave and Claire  :D  ) It's still got a few kinks that need working out though (and a colour scheme), as well as how large a text to image ratio would work because more images = less likely to happen.
Speaking of which, dude my AI lecturer is going so slowly I took all my notes down last lecture in comic form. It was mostly about a British Agent (who is also a monkey) - who else would need to buy milk, banana's and some sort of posh automatic drill? I missed last lecture (there goes new years resolution) but apparently she spent most of it recapping. Again.

Everything else I have to say today is pretty moot.
I still need to get me some Billy Joel. (Other then feat.Oscar the grouch. Cool as that is.)
