The Night Owl Thread

[Rosella]

Ok, since this thread isn't as well known, I'll post the original intention of it

"The rules are simple. No posting except for between the hours of sunset to sunrise in your part of the world. I completely understand that this may not in fact happen, but it'd be pretty cool if it did.  So, all you people of the night, feel free to post to your hearts content, and maybe just tell everyone a little bit about your day/evening, how you're doing, etc. (The possibilities are endless, no? )"

So basically, post when you're up, why you're up, or any half-asleep rants you might have to share!

So, it's 4:44 AM. I'm not sure why I can't sleep. I woke up at noon, but that's relatively early from when I've been getting up, so I've no idea.

Usually, when I'm trying to go to sleep, I'll think about things, as most people do, I'm sure, but I tend to focus on interpersonal relationships, and as of late, I've been thinking about all of the people I've met throughout my high school career that have influenced me in some way. Basically, I've been trying to get in contact with them and see if I can maybe repair some burned bridges or what have you. I've no idea if this is a good idea or not, because, well, it's almost 5 AM. I've tried this in the past with little to no success (Being exiled was a notable result once ), but this time, at least for the person to whom I wrote an email around this time last night, it seems to have worked out in some way. Basically, I wrote an email to an ex apologizing for saying everything was his fault and taking my share of the blame. Tonight, I wrote an email to a girl who was my friend in middle school, and ended up transferring to my high school, just to be the other woman when my boyfriend cheated on me, and I told her that I valued the friendship we had but I wasn't willing to put effort into it anymore when I couldn't trust her.

Any of you guys ever done such things, with or without the influence of sleep-deprivation?

EDIT: In an attempt to kill time, I finally got around to looking at this new album I have, the first song on which starts off

And don’t go to bed yet love, I think it’s too early
And we just need a little time to ourselves
If my wall clock tells me that it's 4 in the morning I'll give it hell

So I give up.

Haha, the night owl thread!  *Wraps arms around monitor*

I missed you.

[B'rrr]

I never liked this thead, hardly anyone posts when I am up in the middle of the night.

oww, and the nights are too short in the summer anwayys 

[GwydionAE]

I'm always up in the middle of the night... for now, I work the night shift, so I keep weird hours.  So despite the fact that it's 1:47 AM, it feels rather afternoonish to me.

[Rosella]

Huh. It feels rather afternoonish to me too, but I woke up at 1 PM and then took a nap for 2-3 hours.

[GwydionAE]

Hahaha, my sister and a friend of mine have a habit of doing that on their days off - especially my sis nowadays as she's a teacher and gets all summer off.

Night Owl thread?



When does the Dr Manhattan thread start?

[crayauchtin]

There's some other supervillains I'd rather see with their own threads....

We're currently trying to fix our sleeping hours a bit - been going to sleep around 2 or 3 and not getting up until noon. Trying to at least getting to bed by 1:30... hasn't been going well so far

Doctor's appointment at 8:15 AM at the hospital 40 min away on Monday... fun...

[GoneTooLong]

Actually, is it just me, or does the name of this thread make you think of Cedric doing late-night infomercials?

Yeah, just me. That's what I thought. 


PS: 100 POSTS!!!

It's 9:50 pm and I should head to bed soon. But we're researching cars...and I have a bridal pottery shower that I'm throwing tomorrow for a friend.

[B'rrr]

9:50 and the sun has already set? 

[crayauchtin]

I usually go to bed pretty late but I need to get to bed nowish.... it's only midnight, but I need to get up at eight in order to get to work by 10. I'm super not excited about work tomorrow -- I was supposed to have this weekend off, and instead I have eight hour shifts every day!

Is it too much to ask for that I get my big break so I can stop working? I don't think so!

[wilco64256]

10:45 here now and I've got plenty to do to keep me up for a while.  Hooray for Friday nights and sleeping in on Saturdays!

[Rosella]

It's 1:30! I'm worried because my car is in the shop and my dad wants to pick it up and leave by noon to go to this family thing. I'm not sure how I'll get to bed, considering I woke up at 3pm today.

[Kimmie]

I really really want to sleep now and it's 4:30 in the afternoon LOL...I'mt tired, been working very hard recently and I just want a break! My days off are turning into favours and doing extra work (ok so I'm getting paid for it) but a sleep, and relax would be good. You know when you are going crazy when you dream of work at night!

[Haids1987]

...and I have a bridal pottery shower that I'm throwing tomorrow for a friend.

A what?

[wilco64256]

OK it's no longer dark here but I must ask - are you making pottery or just giving it?
