I think I have been infected with some strange vampiric-virus. For the past few weeks I’ve had the same few symptoms: hardly sleeping, and when I do, only sleeping when it is light, as if the sun will turn me into stone. Also my apatite skyrockets and I spend most time awake eating. I become especially ravenous at night, and wonder zombie fashion to whatever I can feast upon.

My roommate seems to have been plagued by this nocturnal transition as well. Granted both of us work late into the night, but that doesn’t explain why when I come down in the morning/afternoon I find half of the fridge contents consumed. It also doesn’t explain why we can no longer keep garlic in the house. Perhaps it’s something in the water, or maybe it’s that small bit mark on my neck…

Whatever is causing it, I set it in my mind to fight it head on. My “stake in the heart” comes in the form of joining a gym. I figure that if I am eating this much, I better at least burn some of it off. Plus working out is also supposed to give you energy. It’s the first time I’ve ever belonged to a gym and just carrying around my member card I already feel healthier. As added incentive I’ve decided to run the Humber Bridge half-marathon this summer. It’s going to take a lot to train for the 13K run, but I figure it’s got to be good for me.

Now I just have to chisel of these fangs….
