Warning: Due to a miscalculation in shrink cycles, I ran out of my prescription sleep medication this past Friday. Therefore, I have not slept in over 48 hours. I can confirm this because I’m utterly delirious. Also, because I’ve been keeping track via Foursquare and Twitter.
Exhibit A.

If you’re a new reader, you should probably just glance at my portrait entitled “Fuck You, Picasso!”, and judge accordingly. If you’re still here, I’m guessing you’re either a fellow insomniac and/or a fellow lunatic. (Both of which I welcome with open arms!)
So, after 3 years, last night it finally hit me that once you check-in to a venue on Foursquare, there’s no official check-out (unless you go somewhere else). Based on this sleep-deprived brilliance, I decided against a third consecutive 4:00 AM check-in. I also decided to stay off twitter entirely. Instead, I did something possibly even less productive. Downloaded the Draw Something App.
Now, if you don’t know what Draw Something is, congratulations! You’re probably somewhat healthy, but don’t fret – I’m like a reverse healer. In a nutshell, the computer gives you a word, you draw it, then your cyber partner guesses what you drew. Example.
Unibrow
My assigned cyber partner (Maria, age 13) obviously understands my artistic expression. Example 2.
HORSE
For clarity, please note, I’m the actual artist behind these masterpieces. I’d show you Maria’s work, but I don’t want to violate any copyright issues, or more honestly, overshadow my own. Example 3.
POOP
Unfortunately, I did not manage to catch this last video replay soon enough, but as you can see, another success.
Now, for the sake of brevity, I’ve shown you 3 games. (Conservatively speaking, I’ve played more than 500 with 50 different opponents in the past 3 nights.)
So, yeah, good times.
Also, I should probably mention, I’m seeing the shrink first thing tomorrow morning.

The madness that accompanies brilliance, such as yours, is magnified with the presence of insomnia.
Whelp, I’ve got the madness part down. Sending you a cross county hug. Love, Patient Number One
I tried that game. I quit before the 2nd round of my 1st game. I cannot draw. The end.
LMAO! I fully understand. XO
I love you!
So happy you’re back!!! You have no idea.
Love you too my kind warrior. XO
I have been plagued by it the last 3 months . I know what you are going through. I love reading your posts too !
Thanks,
Mark
@tejano714
Thank you kindly.
On one hand, I sort of wish I hadn’t read this, because I’m very tempted to download the Draw Something App, and the last thing I need is another time suck to aide in my perpetual procrastination. On the other, I am amused at your poop drawing.
I’m gonna call it a win!
LMFAO Vesta!
Aw. That’s so cool! I now want to play this game and break night for 48 hours. This could have helped me like 2 weeks ago. It’s a good thing I learn from the best. Thanks! ^_^
See what happens when I skip the gym? XO
It’s so beyond unfair that you can’t play this game unless you have a Smart Phone. Perhaps it’s time for me to join the 21st Century and get one. For the sake of Draw Something.
Don’t do it Luda! (But, if you must, my screen name is @writewendy over there too. ;0)
