Who the hell are you night owls anyway? I can't sleep which is often the case

[crim son]

but I know nobody to converse with. Who's up?

[mcctatas]

1. I'm still kind of awake...

:toast:

[crim son]

2. I raise my glass to you too.

I'm wide awake. Apparently my circadian rhythm is completely screwed. Thank you though, for your response! :toast: :hug:

[mcctatas]

3. Yeah, I've kind of given up on sleep lately..

it's teh suck!

[crim son]

5. I hope it's the cheerful and not the morose kind of awake.

Sleeplessness is an odd thing!

[mcctatas]

11. It's more of a

:wtf: am I still doing awake? I'm chatting with a friend, but he's slow in responding so I keep thinking I'm going to bed and then I get another message...

[crim son]

24. That makes me feel special!

Kidding. I think that's how I ended up wide awake and still here!

[mcctatas]

25. I'm a multi-tasker...

;)

[crim son]

37. Excellent. OedipusRex is calling.

:)

[Oeditpus Rex]

14. You take a li'l nap a bit ago?

Like when you abandoned me in mid-flirt? :cry:

[mcctatas]

30. Never...

I was in the you tube zone...

[VenusRising]

4. I'm still here.

Reading mostly.

How are you doing, crim son? :hi:

[crim son]

7. Not too badly, Green Eyes.

What are you reading? :hi:

[VenusRising]

13. GDP.

I don't know why I do that to myself. :banghead:

I've also been trying to figure out something to keep myself occupied. I pulled out my cross-stitch and looked through all my kits, but I don't know if I want to do something that involved. Maybe I should flip a coin or roll a die. Hmmm.

I'm also watch A Knight's Tale. There is some fine male yumminess in that movie.

My eyes are blue. :D

:pals:

[crim son]

27. Sorry, Angel.

They look green to me, but that must be a trick of the lighting.

[VenusRising]

29. Or I was drunk.

Which in that case they should look purple, but I'm weird like that. :P

Nothing to worry about at all. At least you didn't tell me I have a big ass. :rofl:

:* :loveya: :hug:

[crim son]

39. I would never do that, and not only because I have no idea what your ass looks like.

:pals: :loveya: :hug:

Laughing.

[VenusRising]

55. I know you wouldn't.

I'm just a smart-alec. Don't mind me. :P

[bluesbassman]

6. I'm fighting with Photobucket.

About ready to get Skittles to go KICK IT'S ASS!

Really slow loading tonight, and I had a bunch of my son's football pictures to get on there.:grr:

How are ya crim son? Hope all is well!:hi:

[crim son]

8. I'd be better if I could see your son's football pics!

What's the problem? Sure, Skittles is a genius but I'm curious...

[bluesbassman]

17. Here's a few.

Photo bucket is just real slow tonight. Guess people are trying to get all of their Palin Picture on before she fades off into the tundra!

[VenusRising]

32. Woohoo!!

Go defense!!

:bounce::bounce::bounce:

[bluesbassman]

36. Defense rocks!

Bluesboy is having fun on offense too this year, getting to cary the ball a lot more.

[VenusRising]

56. That's terrific!

Good for him. :D

[Lethe]

9. hiya - i'm fighting off rogue raccoons and making fettucine alfredo

you know, the usual wednesday night.

[mcctatas]

12. raccoons are insidious little beasts...

they look so cute and sweet but they are really plotting ways to mess your shit up!

[elshiva]

10. Here I am.

:hi: :hug: How are you?

[LeftyMom]

15. It's not even midnight out here on the left coast.

And I'm only awake because I have homework I finally ran out of excuses not to do. (I'm DUing while my printer spits out a million copies of my presentation notes.)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. My dear crim son!

I'm still up, but not for long, sweetie!

:hug:

[crim son]

Peggy.

I wanted to ask you to call but I wish you now a fine night. ((hugs)) -Lisa

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. Ah, another time perhaps!

I'll be heading off to bed soon myself...

I just saw and responded to your GD/P thread, sweetie!

Sweetest of dreams!

:hug:

[crim son]

23. Of course.

Have a lovely evening, Peg.

[crim son]

Peggy.

I wanted to ask you to call but I wish you now a fine night. ((hugs)) -Lisa

[XemaSab]

18. I'm an owl

:awake:

[harmonicon]

19. I'm just an insomniac

I'm just as likely to be awake at any one time than another. I should sleep soon, but then I'll sleep through most of the day, which is ok, I guess, but I have loads of stuff to do on Friday.... erg... and I have a massive project that I'm putting off.

[texanwitch]

20. I am at first day of work since Hurricane Ike came to pay a visit.

I kept my regular night owl hours most of the time I was off.

[mcctatas]

22. I bet it's good to be back...

even if it is work...

[texanwitch]

26. O yes.

We still got payed for the time off but Ike had us on hurricane standard time.

I lost track of what day it was or the time.

Didn't really matter because you couldn't go any where.

Gas was hard to find, and the nights were really dark.

[mcctatas]

28. I love camping and all..

our cabin is uber rustic, but it's a choice, I really feel for you having to suck it up because you had no choice. You are a braver person than I am, I like to avoid places where there's actual weather;)

[texanwitch]

33. It wasn't so bad.

We did have 5 generators on the block but with gas hard to find we very careful what we used them for.

It was a very relaxed time, nothing really to do but clean up the yards and visit with neighbors.

I had a paid vacation, and I did enjoy the night time.

The weather could have been a little cooler like the temp right now but it still wasn't August type heat.

Two weeks without lights slows you down and takes you back in time.

I enjoyed the slower pace.

[mcctatas]

34. Sounds like our cabin, only without the mess and debris everywhere...

You have a great attitude about it :)

[texanwitch]

44. We still have the mess and debris to be picked up.

At night you couldn't see any of it.

We did have a beautiful full moon for a few days, without the street lights the full moon effect was just great.

I had very busy few months before Ike came and everything just stopped for awhile.

It was really strange, nothing to do and now wheres to go.

I didn't really feel part of the world, our world was our little block.

After two days we knew it would be awhile before we got power so we just decided to make the best of it.

We had ice, water and plenty of food, limited AC and fans.

We didn't even watch much TV after the first week, wasn't interested in it.

It is amazing how we changed in a just a few days without power.

I didn't really miss the internet.

We had good company.

[mcctatas]

46. Actually that does sound kind of appealing...

if I could get over the helpless feeling, it could actually be kind of calming I guess...

[texanwitch]

50. It just depends if you have good neighbors.

We did plan for a hurricane since Rita missed us 3 years ago.

Our block was prepared, that was important.

I would suggest that people get to know their neighbors, even a little.

It is always good to have box of supplies just in case something happens.

Our hurricane boxes were ready, all we needed was gas for the generators.

Houston was lucky, the Gulf Coast took the major hit.

We just lost power, Galveston and the little coastal towns lost everything.

We do plan to get a natural gas generator before the next hurricane season, the gas generators are loud and smelly.

We have lost our beaches now, many people lost their homes and lives.

All we had to put up with was a little dark and heat.

We got off lucky.

[mcctatas]

51. Thank you for telling me about your experiences with the hurricane

I guess trapped up here in the frozen tundra we have no idea. It sounds like you made a good situation out of something pretty crappy. :toast:

[texanwitch]

58. Your are welcome.

Houston is almost back to normal but our poor Gulf Coast will be a long time in coming back.

It like what happened in NO, a way of life is gone.

To rebuilt will cost a lot more, I don't know how many people can afford to now.

We lost our beach house, we lost the beaches.

No more just jumping in the car and driving to Galveston, or the other little coastal towns.

Galveston will be back but not the same.

The little coastal towns are gone.

Just wiped off the map, damn.

[MrSlayer]

31. I'm up.

Converse away.

[crim son]

41. Can't do it.

You're not worthy. :P

[MrSlayer]

52. I agree.

As with the case of the octopus who was addicted to turnips and arrested for insider stock market trading. The fucker was guilty.

[puerco-bellies]

35. Hi c s.

I'm still here, but I already took an ambien so I may log off soon.

[Dem2theMax]

38. I'm too dumb to know when to go to bed.

I need someone to tell me.

(But I won't listen anyway.) ;)

[crim son]

42. Go to bed, my friend.

And leave me here alone. :cry:

[Dem2theMax]

47. I'm not leaving. And not leaving you alone. I wouldn't do that to a good DU'er!

I'll stay till my face lands on the keyboard. Hope it lands squarely on the ZZZZZ key. LOL.

:hug:

[crim son]

48. Touched to the heart (and not the but!)

by your response. Seriously. Why are you being so nice? And be honest! -Lisa

[Dem2theMax]

59. It's just who I am. :-)

But I ended up being bad. I fell asleep. And I didn't hit the keyboard! So I'm posting this in the AM.
:hi:

[Wapsie B]

40. Yo!

[crim son]

45. Yeah. And why are you up?

:P

[Wapsie B]

53. I'm chained to the night shift for awhile.

But only M-W. This is my last night. But I'm a natural late owl anyway. :)

[Lucian]

43. Bed? What's that?

[crim son]

49. That's the dreadful quiet that leads to a certain tomorrow.

I try to avoid it at all costs...

[mcctatas]

57. Yeah...

I've tried everything lately, beer, ambien, nyquil, not all on the same night mind you;)

[coyotespaw]

54. What is this sleep of which you speak?

[sakabatou]

60. I still miss the days of DU's Nighthaws thread

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

61. I work a newspaper, so I don't get out of work til post-midnight

usually up til 5am

[vard28]

62. I'm awake

and have found comfort food for the ears. I bought an iPod. I succumbed to peer pressure. I'm 40-something and have had this little gadget for 2 days. I went to bed with it on, hubby is at work, vard jr is away at the state fair so I thought I'd crawl into bed with the dog and my music. I have discovered that the Partridge Family and Beethoven comforts my brain, but doesn't let me sleep. So I got back up and now have Tom Petty serenading me. It's like comfort food for the ears. Wonder if I'll lose any weight? :rofl:

[Shiver]

63. I work nights.

Tonight is my night off. And instead of writing, I appear to be spending my time here...

Also, sunlight burns me. So I'm not a night owl out of habit, merely necessity.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

64. sucks doesn't it?

I used to have a social life before I took this shift

[Shiver]

66. Got that right

The only people I know are my co-workers, and I don't like any of them enough to hang out with them outside of work. All of my friends are back in Milwaukee, anyway, and I appear to have completely lost touch with the people in knew in high school.

I gotta get off this shift, but the money is better than I can find during the day...

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

65. sucks doesn't it?

I used to have a social life before I took this shift

[JonLP24]

67. Right here

Tradiionally I'm up during after hours.

[Adsos Letter]

68. I do most of my research /reading/thinking/writing....

...between about 9:00 pm and 3:00 am...west coast time...
