tea, late nights, and, by implication, the brilliance of staying up hours writing

sooooo i had my minimum requisite for doing intelligent schoolwork/concentrating 4.5 hours of sleep.

but i'm definitely wayyyy too tired to eat breakfast. urgggh. :drinks more mint tea:

fact*! herbal mint tea (not the flavoured black kind which you can also get, particularly at mediterranean restaurants) has stomach-coating soothing properties and has been known to be effective, for me, with actual sickness. it also (somewhat more effectively) helps with middle of the night and early morning stomach upset. understandably, a lot of people don't like it, but i find it grows on you. they don't have celestial seasonings here, but i was really really fond of sleepytime tea--a mixture of spearmint (sharply aromatic, stomach-soothing) and chamomile (which doesn't really make me sleepy, but does help me calm down just slightly. although i don't buy its reputation as a tranquiliser. at least, it's not strong enough to be an effective one.)

* although not of the proven by scientific study variety, to my knowledge

wax has the grossest metaphors about the "creative organ"

yeah, so, because i couldn't go on from the middle of a co-written scene by myself and i didn't have time (or ink) to print out the draft this morning, and i was going mad and itchy...

i started a meantime story on my break today.  it might be gen, but i foresee overtones of coxy/colin.  although so far coxy hasn't come up at all.
