Did I ever tell you that I was an active sleeper? In the past I have woken up with bruised knuckles, legs, arms and face because I have a tendency to thrash around. It is not the nicest thing for anyone you share your bed with either because they tend to become a victim to the active sleeping too which leads to lots of raised eyebrows and dirty looks.

I think it has a lot to do with the fact that most of my dreams* revolve around someone or something trying to kill me. Usually in a humours manner but yes ultimately they often seem to resemble anything from your average first person shooter through to jaws. Stewie Griffin once made a guest appearance too I think.
Because of this there is usually a lot of running and fighting going on which would explain the night-time injuries and why sometimes I wake up feeling like I just ran the London marathon, although this is kind of awesome in one way because it means I don’t need to go out and buy the latest ‘lame slightly chubby x list celeb prances around in lycra to bad overly synthesised music and 1 2 3 *poof* she is now a disgustingly skinny and disgustingly orange person who you really want to resemble so go out and buy this’ercise video.

Today..today I gave myself a fat lip in my sleep, Which I have been icing for the last few hours in an attempt to be able to go into public without fear of drooling all over myself because I am no longer in control of my face.
Have you ever thought about how much face control is an important feature of day to day life? Something which I took for granted and so now I am promising to buy it flowers, do the washing up AND take it out for dinner if it would only come back! Please?!

(*why yes I did just talk about dreams, oops I think that is right up high on the DO NOT BLOG ABOUT code..sorry blog content monitoring people!)
