Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
did you have a bunch of caffeine before going to bed?
Sushi and sake, baby.

Sushi made from the cappuccino fish?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I can't say I've ever had random sudden heart palpitations, so therefore I don't think it's normal. Take that for what it's worth.
I had a great afternoon! Went to school and worked on my paper some, until I realized that really all I need to do on my thesis is the executive summary and the conclusion. Rock. Got some paperwork taken care of for the identity fraud stuff and made copies at school. Sat in the park reading for a while, and then went and bought two pairs of shoes! I think I might finally have black pumps that actually fit.
Now I'm home. Phew.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I've done that wake up and can't move thing. I read somewhere that that happens when you're actually still asleep and just dreaming that you've woken up. I choose to believe that as it allows me to not worry about it very much.

ita, what you're describing sounds a lot like night terrors/sleep paralysis. Which is when you're dreaming but you think you're awake and paralyzed. I used to get those a lot. I would wake up all freaked out with a thumping heart and everything because, my version of the night terrors came complete with not only the belief that I was awake and paralyzed but, also, that someone was on top of me.
I hate that shit.

So far as I know, it's just that the mechanism which keeps your body from responding to your brain's commands while you're asleep (and thus running and shouting and, say, pissing just because you dreamed you were doing it) hasn't shut down properly (much like Windows).

OK, I should just toss out (recycle) all the articles I've printed out for school that I'll never need again, right?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Yes, Jesse, you should. Release the clutter.

It just seems like such a waste. Ah well -- the cost of printing was included in my tuition, so.
