Weather-wise weird day with not enouigh sleep

Today has been a weird day weather-wise. It started out with rain, then cleared up for a bit and then it's been snowing off and on for the last 4 hours. I ran into one of my friends during the clear part and when I said there was a chance of snow later on (I'm taking a weather class after all) she just said,. "Naw, it's not gonna snow. I mean look at it! It's Sunny!" Well, now that there's an inch of snow on the ground, I feel much better about my forecasting abilities.

"Happiness consists in getting enough sleep."

I've decided that I need to put this quote on a wall or make a mug out of it or something. How my day goes depends on how much sleep I get, usually. But the problem is that I'm not always asleep all the way during the night. Okay, that wasn't very clear. To be more precise, I've found out since I've gotten to college that I have a propensity for sleep talking. I haven't gotten to sleep walking yet, but I woke up the other day and my pillow was across the room. I'm not sure if it was the same night, but I also remember one night I was dreaming that I was having a fight with someone and I ducked down to avoid a roundhouse or something and I smashed my head into the cinder-block wall right next to my dorm bed. My first (conscious) thought was "Okay, WHO put this wall here?!" I also seem to remember having an entire conversation with someone on the phone that I don't remember. Oh, and the guy next door said that he woke up one night and I was saying things like "How YOU doing?" and "uh huh" in a really acting-interested-while-hitting-on-a-girl kind of way. And apparently he saw my roomate sit up (in his sleep) and shake his head at me and then go back to sleep. Yeah, my roomate has a propensity for weird sleep patterns too, it seems. One morning, he woke up and his computer keyboard was in his bed with him. Another time, I was up late (or early or something) and the phone rang. He sits up and makes a phone shape with his hand and then says hello into his hand. I'm kind of in shock at first, but then he realizes what's going on ... and then hangs up his hand. But the best one of all was one morning when I was already awake and was just lying in bed waiting for the urge to get out of bed. My roomate's CD player alarm clock goes off and he LEAPS out of bed, knocking his guitar stands over in the process. But instead of turning off the alarm, he begins attacking his computer by trying to turn it off or smash it or something. After a period of intense computer-attacking, he kind of wakes up and realizes what's going on. It was Definitely an interesting night.

ATTENTION ALL PEOPLE I'VE TOLD THAT THEY CAN CALL ME ANY TIME OF THE DAY OR NIGHT:
I am not reponsible for what I say in my sleep.

YOur dorm room at night sounds a bit random!! Who (WHO) would DARE call you and wake you up? Especially if you are not responsible for what you say? On the other hand that might be the perfect time to call. Maybe I'll try it sometime....you know like waking you up from a nap or something!!

This is an Anonymous spell checker. You wrote "Weather-wise weird day with not enouigh sleep" Enouigh is really spelled enough, but then without enouigh sleep might be exactly what a weather man meant.

You think your weather is weird? What's weird is having tornado warnings over here in Stockton, and actually having two of them touch down in Sacramento...
