the night owl thread

Hello, fellow insomniacs!

I am forever cursed with this INSANE sleep schedule, and I constantly lament the relative lack of internet activity in the wee hours of the morning.

So, I encourage you guys to post here, but only after 1am, whatever time zone you are in. Because, you know, most decent people are beginning to think about bed by this time.

You can post anything you want. (Some ideas: do you LIKE to be awake really late, or are you simply unable to stay on a normal sleep schedule? What's your favorite time of night?) It doesn't have to be sleep related. I dunno about you, but I kind of think differently when it gets really late. I get a bit reflective. I look up random things on the internet that would probably not interest me nearly so much in the daytime. For example, last night I was searching yahoo! images for pictures of body painting.

My basic goal for this thread is that it provides (I almost spelled it "pervides"—go figure, it's late) some form of entertainment for us night owls, and maybe even an outlet for our nighttime musings.

Here are two of the coolest body paint pictures that I found:

How ya doing, buddy?

It is nearly 3am, and tonight I have spent some time watching Lily Allen (British pop singer) songs on youtube and researching whatever gossip/dirt the media is heaping on her. I also found her myspace and read some of her blog entries.

Lily is interesting. Her songs are catchy and she clearly possesses talent, but she is far too immature to handle fame. She does things like show up to her concerts drunk, and she abruptly cancelled all but 4 of her 21 scheduled shows on her U.S. tour. She's strangely likeable, though, because she does have this realness about her that many other stars lack entirely.

So that's what I've been doing tonight.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm right there with you, Midna. My head is throbbing like all hell broke loose, but I am afraid to go to sleep. I'm also afraid to take any sort of sleep aid, though, because my emotional state is kinda screwy right now, and those things can make you downright crazy.

But I can't say that I'm not tempted to just pop a few Ambien every night. To hell with getting addicted!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yeah, benedryl is our FRIEND.

And you're beating off to ramoth, not me. Though I guess at this time of night, my avatar might look good...

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

It's nearly 5am on Friday the 13th! And since I have a weakness for McDonald's breakfast (I know, I know...), I'm about to head out and git myself a McGriddle (don't judge).

I slept from about 7pm 'til 1230am, so I'll be lucky to get back to bed by 8am. It's really strange how I always drift back to this ridiculous schedule--for the past few days, I was doing really well and managing to not sleep during the day. I'm very much a natural night owl, though.

Tonight I've been whiling away the time making mix cds, writing in chocojournal, and watching Roseanne on Nick @ Nite (I know you hate Roseanne, but it's a weakness of mine).

I was speaking idiomatically.

For some reason, my thoughts take on this poetic quality when it gets past 2am or so. I long for simplicity in the wee hours of the morning.

Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to have been working out for me so great. :\

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
