Mosquito Bites
The more I feel in love, the better a person I become. I start not minding most things that I normally would; the things that cause problems, arguments and even fights. It's amazing how it changes the way I consider life.

Lying on your right side, blinking rapidly for a minute, counting backwards from 100... These are some of the strategies for falling asleep. Unfortunately, none of them works, at least not on me. Here I lie without a trace of sleep. Maybe I should've counted forwards and imagined some sheep jumping over a fence. I've never tried it to be honest. I think I'll give that a try, but at another night.
I've changed. I'm not sure if in a good way or not. I used to -and still, think that my preferences on the room in which I sleep are not the least unreasonable, despite the protests of the people I stayed with. For example, I used to prefer sleeping in a controlled environment. All the windows and doors to where I slept had to be closed. And the room had to be dark and quiet.
Now I open both windows even when it's freezing. I got sick a few times, but the feeling of fresh air each time you breathe is kind of addicting. There's also a bright, annoying, green light just above my head that shows the emergency light is fully charged. I still think that it's annoying, but I've learned not to mind it, just to prove that I'm not obsessed with these kind of things, as some of my friends (with?) whom I shared a room in my university years would outrageously claim. I've been living like this for four months and I think I made my point. I can turn back to my old habits, because it doesn't matter now. Between me and my habits, we now know who's wearing the trousers...

Don't you feel a twisted pride when mosquitos chose to bite you over other people? I do. And they always bite me, even if there's like six people in the room. But this morning, when I woke up with only one mosquito bite on my arm, I was very disappointed. Can you believe this? Do you see the implications of this single bite? It's like a mosquito saying:
"Well, I've tasted your blood, but wasn't impressed. I've had better. You should change your diet. Try some Chinese..."
