:: cruel ::

Sometimes when I'm falling asleep, I think of something I want to write down, something really good. I tell myself to remember it in the morning, then think about it in a few creative ways to be sure that I really don't forget.

The worst part is, I usually wake up remembering not what I was thinking but that I needed to not forget. Blast. It would be fine if I could remember the thought, or forget both the idea and the presence of the idea. But to remember only that I had some Pulitzer-prize-winning plot or world-changing philosophy that got lost in the middle of the night? That is just cruel.
