the night owl thread

It's 2:10 am here. I just got home from work. Working at a movie theater generally means I don't get home until late at night (unless I work the open shift, but not many employees are there then, because who goes to see a movie early in the day?)

I've always had trouble getting to bed at a decent time. I am sure that my body's internal clock is set off of normal time by several hours. Thank god for the internet, so I can talk to people at night. Growing up, I used to play games (though I'd get yelled at for doing that) and read books when I couldn't sleep. I still do those things sometimes, but it's nice to have other options.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Anyone have a cigarette?

I just played Resident Evil IV for about 4 hours, and it was orgasmic. I just finished the scenario where Ada collects the 5 samples. Now I can get the Chicago Typewriter in Ada's Different Pathways sidequest. This game really is amazing.

But yea...cigarette break. I think I am going to turn in a bit early this morning.

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

It's 2:49AM here... I have a stomachache and I can't sleep. ;___;

I'm usually out like a log by 1AM at the latest.

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

Almost 5 am right now.

I wouldn't normally be up this late, but I had a day off today and tomorrow, so I figured I'd catch up on some of my goofing off.

On an unrelated note for all you PS3 owners out there, Super Stardust HD is a fantastic marketplace buy. Also, If you bought Fifth Element on blu-ray, there's an exchange program that will be taking place. I guess somebody high up decided the video transfer wasn't up to snuff, so they're replacing the ones that have been sold with the remastered version.

I was speaking idiomatically.

This thread needs to keep burning for the night owls of GFF!

Another late-night post, this time at 2am East Australia time (GMT +10; thanks wikipedia!) and I've been scouring the net, picking scraps of pre-E3 rumours (and looking at timezones). Boy am I pumped for news, even though it won't be the same, brain busting event it used to be.

I've got nothing on tomorrow so I might go all out tonight until I drop to sleep. I'd like to sleep early since I've been sleeping around the 4-6am mark this past week. That's pretty f***ing horrible, I gotta admit, but hunger and the fact that my schedule's shifted aren't helping matters.

Meh, off to my chocojournal. It's been a while since I wrote there. And I think I might cook a classic MEAT PIE, though I should keep to the doctor's orders of having a beef-free diet.

Which brings me to one last thing: How many of you night owls feel the need to feed during the twee hours of the morning? It's become an addiction for me. Must.... stop....

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

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).

FELIPE NO

Any breakfast sandwich I ever got from a fast food place has always been to dry for my taste

How ya doing, buddy?

Tis coming up to 01:30 here. I don't exactly have a normal sleep schedule myself, and this is one of those nights... Posting here seems like a much better idea than going to bed and tossing and turning until I manage to sleep. I don't mind being awake in the wee hours, it's a good time for peaceful reflection on the day and browsing parts of the forum I don't usually see. It's a bugger when I really feel like playing the piano though =/

Rainman, yes indeed. Usually that's what knocks me out. That and a stiff drink.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It's almost 4 a.m. and I am tired as hell, but cannot sleep. The morning is going to be simply fantastic.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I don't know why I can't get into a good sleeping pattern I should be in bed not posting, but I just can't get myself to go to sleep :P

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

Cheers Bernard!

After a night of stiff drinks, I am good to go. But not after having fallen off a decent sleeping pattern in the process. Oh well. Nice to see a few chaps in my shoes.

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

It's 2:39AM here, and I am fully awake.


I am on a crazy sleeping schedule due to working most days until midnight, and I just can't seem to get myself to go to sleep until around 3AM. It kinda sucks, but hey at least I start work late enough in the day that I can sleep in.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I saw this thread, looked at my clock, and thought to myself: "Hey, it's 4:30am, I should post there!"

But then I realized that I have been posting over the whole forum and it did everything I think this thread was supposed to do, which was entertain.

The body art was cool though.

Again it's 01:30. That's quite early for me usually (I read rather than browse the forums because I get screensick if that makes any sense), but since I had four hours sleep in total last night and was awake to welcome the dawn I'm suprised I'm not more tired. It was bizzare; I collapsed on my bed at about half eleven to wake up at 3.30am. I managed to fall asleep again at about 5 but I had an incredibly disturbing nightmare; the cat gave me the shakes I was so worried.

Anywho, for entertainment I thought I'd go over my favorites on youtube, and came up with some classics, some randoms and some random classics:

YouTube Video

YouTube Video

I'd put up the video of the dead dog episode but you're all tired as it is, I don't want to make you suicidal ;__;

Most amazing jew boots

Well I am burning off the complete series of Babylon 5 and getting over 40+ GB back to my HDD ....bout time since I been downloading it for more then a week

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I'm contemplating why on earth I did kareoke tonight and why oh why did I give a really creepy guy my number, except for our natural rapport on politics, war, comedy ect. Realisation doesn't even wait until morning anymore ;__;

How ya doing, buddy?

Why can't I ever get to bed at a reasonable time?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

3:36 am now lol

I've never pulled off a not sleep for 24 hours as I'm sure at least one person here has, but if nothing is going on of grave importance within the next 24 hours I average about not sleeping till 4am, my only excuse I can think of for this being the various friends of mine in other timezones I talk with.

I could stay even later, but I have this odd personal rule that 4 am is the absolute latest you can go without totally screwing up your internal clock... that and in the summer any time after that with the birds starting to chirp really puts you off trying to catch some Zs

How ya doing, buddy?

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. :\

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

Hullo Night Owls, hoo. My brain is beginning to produce alpha waves. I've been dreaming vividly the last few nights. I hope for a good old fashioned moment of bliss tonight...wish me luck.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

It's 5:28 AM. Thought this thread was dead.
I actually went to sleep at 6PM and awoke at 3AM. Right now I feel awake and refreshed. I've eaten, cleaned up, played some games, and now I'm reading random forums and sorting various photos on my hard disque while listening to SaReGaMa :3

Life is good.
