DU Insomniacs, report!

[strategery blunder]

What are you up to? The Chair will probably stay up another 3 hours.:evilgrin:

Yesterday's insomniac thread
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x1008614

Edit: I live in the Central time zone (is it daylight savings or standard time? All I know is spring forward, fall back...) Just so you on the West Coast don't think I'm a wuss...I'm a couple of hours ahead of you.

[drhilarius]

1. At work...

working dilligently...isn't it obvious?

[dawn]

2. Well, it's only 10:40 here on the West Coast.

I'm just hangin' out here.

[strategery blunder]

5. And only 9:44 a.m. in Iraq...

nt

[HEyHEY]

3. Working

BUt it's only 10:45 here, not insomniac material yet

[YellowRubberDuckie]

4. Can't sleep...

Woke back up at midnight...can't go back to sleep... :shrug:
Duckie

[Th1onein]

6. I cannot sleep.....

Actually, I'm sculpting. From paper mache.

It takes a long time to dry, and I'm waiting on it.

Yeah, right.

[koopie57]

7. I've taken sleeping pills

and had a couple of drinks and I still can't sleep. I sometimes think the only way to get to sleep is to hit myself in the head with a frying pan :-) I am sad to hear others have this same problem, but on a more selfish note, it makes me feel better.

[BlondieK143]

8. OOOOH NO!!!!

My streak of starting the thread three nights in a row has been RUINED! NOOOOOO!! *runs off to the corner and plots revenge on chair*

[strategery blunder]

9. BWA HA HA!!!!!! Evil thoughts have I

It is my duty as a 700 Club member to have evil thoughts!:evilgrin:

[BlondieK143]

10. Oh no no no

You WILL PAY!!!!!!!!! I'll take away allll your caffeine AND your TV!

[strategery blunder]

13. I don't watch much TV anymore.

Blame the corporate mediawhores. That wouldn't be payment for much of anything.

My caffeine, on the other hand...:evilfrown:

[BlondieK143]

15. Uh, how are you going to watch the playoffs smart one??

Ever think about THAT one?? Bwahahahaha :evilgrin:

[strategery blunder]

17. I allow an allowance for hockey games

but ONLY for hockey games. If you were to take away my TV, I would revert to radio and/or streaming Internet video (if I could find it).

Nice try.

[BlondieK143]

18. HA! When I'm done with you...

You're not going to have ANY electronic devices. *puts hands on hips*

Think you're so cute now Mister Smart Guy?

[strategery blunder]

21. At which point I proceed to watch hockey games at my friends' houses.

And if you want to take away THEIR electronic devices, you'll have to consult with John A$$KKKroft. hehehe

[BlondieK143]

22. Grrrrr. Okay then, I'll just have to think of something else.

That involves serious, serious pain. But then again, you might enjoy that!

[Champ]

31. Dang Blondie

How did you get up to 428 posts so fast? Last night you were 374.

[LDS Jock]

11. looking at bad plastic surgery pics

like this one

http://www.awfulplasticsurgery.com/archives/000351.html

[BlondieK143]

12. Thank you for making me crap my pants.

That was the scariest thing ever.

[LDS Jock]

14. I thought Michael Jackson was bad

until I saw that. She doesn't look human.

[BlondieK143]

16. She makes Michael look like a rose.

Well, a really twisted one, but still. JEEZ! I think I wouldn't left things the way they were.

[JohnKleeb]

19. you bet I am

[gold_bug]

20. I was just watching Cowboy Bebop

now I'm playing with the internet.

[BlondieK143]

23. Kick, Kickity Kick, Kickerewski

You better be glad I'm bored Chair. For my benefit totally. :) WAKE UP PEOPLE!

[Pithlet]

24. I've been up all night with a teething baby.

He's finally gone to sleep, and I'm now wide awake. I've taken something to help me sleep, and I hope it helps. Meanwhile I'm puttering about in GD and here in the Lounge.

[BlondieK143]

25. He's adorable!!!

Sorry that you've been up all night though!

[Pithlet]

27. Thanks!

He's almost 6 months old, so I'm used to it. Add in the time change, and my sleep is all screwed up :)

[The Traveler]

26. Just finished watching "The Man Who Knew"

Went to the PBS site ... you can watch it on line. Really fascinating shit. No wonder the 9/11 widows are pissed. O'Neil had al Qaeda's number ... there is a very real chance he could have prevented 9/11 had he not been sabotaged by the bureaucracy. Ironically and tragically he died when the South Tower fell.

I know his story is pretty common knowledge around here, but this was the first chance I've had to actually see the Frontline expose'.

How ya doin?

[LeftCoast]

28. *Raises Hand*

Insomnia strikes tonight!

Strange since I actually cut down on caffeine today. Go figure...

:shrug:

Thank the deity or deities of your choice for the internet. Insomnia REALLY sucked when all you had was late night TV to entertain you.

[Champ]

29. Checking in

Not really an insomniac, I woke up at 7:50 pm. I've been sick and the only thing I could do was sleep.

[BlondieK143]

30. feel better!

:hi: Hi!

[Champ]

32. Yeah

:hi: Hi.

[BlondieK143]

33. Seems we're the only two awake.

Wasn't that how it turned out yesterday?

[Champ]

34. I think so

I'm eating some Tropical Dots and Digiorno Deep Dish Pizza, want some? :9

[BlondieK143]

35. Mmmmm!

WHY did you have to mention food? I'm starving!

[Champ]

36. I'm sorrry

I didn't mean to do that to you. I hate it especially when I'm hungry and watching TV, then I see an ad for a restuarant and I feel like jumping through the screen and eating all that food. :9

[BlondieK143]

37. I knoooow!

That's the worst! Especially when it's a place that you reallllly like. Not cool at all! Actually, pizza sounds awesome right now.

[Champ]

40. I'm eating DiGiorno Deep Dish

I don't know if you had it before but it's like a pie. On the top of the trust there is pizza sauce and cheese and between the bottom and top crust is all the ingredients, peperoni, sausage, cheese, green pell peppers, olives, etc. It's my favorite kind of pizza. :9

[BlondieK143]

41. You're really not helping things!

Although I'm just a cheese kinda gal. Not into everything else!

[Champ]

42. Sorry

I'm not trying to do these things to you, honest. }(

[BlondieK143]

43. HA! Like I believe that!

It's okay, I'll remember that later. One of these days you might need a favor but nooooo, don't come asking Kayla!

[Champ]

44. Nooooooo!!!

What on earth can I do to make it up to you? :D

[BlondieK143]

45. *scratches head*

Not sure you could handle that answer.

Bwahahahahaha :evilgrin:

[Champ]

46. I can handle anything

Bring it on. :D

[BlondieK143]

47. Psh. I doubt that.

You haven't met me. :spank:

[Champ]

48. Oh really?

You haven't met me niether. }(

[BlondieK143]

49. Is that a challenge?

:shrug:

[Champ]

50. Not a challenge, just stating a fact

I can handle anything. :D

[BlondieK143]

51. Facts are nothing but lies in hiding.

Or something like that? Damn, it's getting late! lol

[Champ]

52. lol

Woo! I'm tired too, it's only 2:48 AM here. Damn it is getting late. I'm a nocturnal creature. :D

[BlondieK143]

53. Where ya from again?

Me too, definitely. Some of my best moments come in the early AM hours!

[Champ]

56. Mesa, Arizona

n/t

[BlondieK143]

57. Oh dear!

You're one of those hot ones?

(don't ask - I don't know what I mean)

[Champ]

58. Yes I am

It's actually not that hot currently, it's going to be in the mid-80's to the upper 80's for the rest of this week. It's going to be partly clouded which explains the drop in temperature. Yeah it does get hot, up to the 120's in the summertime.

[BlondieK143]

59. HOLY CRAP!!

Yeah, our weather here is reallllly fed up. It's like 70 one day and 50 the next. sheesh!

[Champ]

60. Yeah

It's always to nice to go swimming during the summer. You can always count on that pool being warm even at night. I love the winters here, it gets kind of chilly at night but it's nice.

[BlondieK143]

61. That's awesome!

Is that where you were born?

[Champ]

62. No

Fort Collins, Colorado.

[BlondieK143]

63. That's cool.

I've always wanted to go to Colorado. I have a friend that lives in Grand Junction.

[Champ]

64. Really?

I go through their every now and then, there is alot of stuff their refering to Mesa. Like they have the "Mesa Mall" in Grand Junction. I keep thinking they think their us! To be honest don't like Colorado much except for the scenary. But I would live in Denver in a heartbeat. Definately one of the top cities I've been to.

[BlondieK143]

65. I'd only like it for the snowboarding!

We just don't get that kind of snow around here. HA! SHe actually talks about that mall quite a bit. Small world isn't it?

[Champ]

66. I would love to go snowboarded

I never been but I have riden by the nicest ski towns in the state. I also been camping north of Estes Park in Larimer county in the Rockies quite a few times. Fishing is also one of my favorite things to do, don't really like sleeping in a tent all night but other then that I love the outdoors.

[BlondieK143]

67. Sounds... cold!

Give you major points for that. You should realllllly go snowboarding, especially if you get the chance to go to CO. I can't even imagine how awesome the view is there. I'm soooo jealous! You have to try it at least ONCE! And isn't it a little cold for the fish to be biting?

[Champ]

68. I probaly will whenever I get the chance

There is also a great snowboarding spot here in Arizona at the 'Snow Bowl' at the San Francisco Mountains just north of Flagstaff. And isn't it a little cold for the fish to be biting? Never fished in Colorado during the winter(but I would imagine they would, but you would probaly have to cut a hole on the frozen surface), mostly during the summer and fall and they do bite.

[BlondieK143]

69. Well that makes sense!

How warm does it get in CO in the summer/fall?

[Champ]

70. It depends what area

Most of Colorado is mountaineous and hilly, but on the eastern side of it next to Nebraska and Oklahoma is nothing but plains and farm land. The city I always visit when I go to Colorado Loveland, Colorado(where my dad lives) which is just south of Fort Collins. The average temperature of the summer and fall is somewhere around 70-79 degrees. But sometimes it gets up to the 90's.

[BlondieK143]

71. Definitely wouldn't have thought that.

I guess I was thinking CO = cold. All the time. You'll have to pardon my ignorance.

[Champ]

72. Nah don't worry about

It does seem cold most of the time for me atleast mostly because I live here. Anything from 60-75 is chilly and below 50 is freezing. :scared:

[BlondieK143]

73. haha you wouldn't make it here!

I don't think I've ever experienced 120 degrees. NOR do I want to! I'm a hot natured person anyway and I think I would just about die! How old are you by the way?

[Champ]

74. I wouldn't want to either

I never got used to 120+ degree weather and I lived her for 12-13 years. I'm 17.

[BlondieK143]

75. Yeah, good luck with that one!

It's nice to meet another younger person on here. I'm 18.

[Champ]

76. I know

No matter how much older I get I still feel like everyone else is older then me, including you. :cry: lol j/k

[BlondieK143]

77. hahaha I'm not THAT much older!

probably by less than a yeah! besides, it'll come in due time :) I just want to turn 21 and then stop!

[Champ]

78. Same here

Not only that I want to be bulletproof, injury proof, death proof, etc and be 21 forever. Just to see how everything turns out. :D

[BlondieK143]

79. There ya go!

That would be the best! Though part of me does want to be able to be old and then get away with anything I want!

[Champ]

80. It's now 4:43 here

Time really does fly when your on the computer.

[BlondieK143]

81. 7:43 here

GO GET SLEEP! And sleep for me too

[Champ]

82. I can't sleep

Not tired enuff. Like I said I'm nocturnal. :)

[BlondieK143]

83. I'm sorry!

[Champ]

84. Nah don't feel sorry for me

I'll be fine. But you should be proud, we are the main reasons this thread is still alive. :toast:

[BlondieK143]

85. I know!

And we're both underage drinkers!

[Champ]

86. I won't tell if you won't

[huellewig]

38. Nerding out...

I'm writing a program to calculate the slope of a regression line based off of multiple data points. With a nifty GUI.

The funny thing is I am going to school to teach high school personal finance. I do shit like the above for fun. A bit dorky, but I like problem solving.

[BlondieK143]

39. My definition of fun isn't that.

Wow, kudos to you. You're brave enough to want to teach h.s. students? HUGE kudos!

[huellewig]

54. At least the chicks at work know how much I make!:-)

[BlondieK143]

55. lol and btw,

WELCOME TO DU! :pals:
