I'm currently starting to really hate my roommate, whose late night returns home have resulted in screwing up my sleep more than once. I'm going to have to corner her one day and tell her that if she has to come home when I'm sleeping at 3am, then doing the dishes and clumping around the house is not an acceptable option.

Also, this thread was started 10 minutes after Bodd's "bed time", and he was still posting at 22:30. *cough*


The good thing about a regular sleeping pattern is that you can take one night out of it and still be able to sleep 10:30 - 7:00 the day after and the day after that: I was in Manchester until 3am Friday night..

Got spare money?

It's 4am Sunday for me.

I haven't slept in about four days now. I stopped playing the 'if I fall asleep right now, I'll get x hours, y minutes of sleep' game exactly 92 hours and 48 minutes ago.

I wish I had better illegal drugs, but alas, the 70's are over.

Not me! I feel horrible and all loopy n' fvcked up! And I'm writing unintelligibly!

But that's what editors are for - letting some poor sap write him/herself into an early grave and then cover up his/her most grievous errors in a gently ritual known as 'redlining'.

me, n. = sap;

early_grave, n. = silent_anonymity;

redlining, v. = horrible, EXCRUCIATING pain that only the editor can apply or withdraw, with impunity and permission from the author.

rewrite, n. = the polite editor's euphemism for 'Chr1st but that was a wretched pile of dung! Allow me to cover your naked a55 for you, Emperor, while I write something better for you to put your name on.'

chutzpah, n. = what your editor has when he/she's right, and the author has no choice but to agree, despite malevolent glares and death-threats.

pfff. the best hours are between 7 pm and 3 a.m. and the most useless hours are 6 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Yet school, work, and society want to prevent me from enjoying my natural 3 a.m to 11 a.m sleep cycle.

The Starchild has it right.

Actually, according to the last experts finding, isn't it supposed to be unhealthy if you have more then 9 hours of sleep?

Some people, like me, don't have a choice in being sleep deprived. I work 2 jobs, a warehouse job from 8:45am to 4:00pm and a restaurant job from 6:00pm until 2:00am in order to make money so I won't be poor at college.

I thought being poor at university was a requirement. Unless you're Michael Ovitz' kid or something, even a state-school degree can be pricey.

Put an end to popups!

How am I standing? I don't know. I think the fact that I'm making money hand over fist ($600+) a week keeps me going.

That, and a volatile mixture of coffee and Mountain Dew. When I don't have any caffine, I get a bit Zylka-esqe...
