I got next to no sleep this weekend (I was out of town with friends, we were out late and my internal clock is set between 7 and 8 in the morning regardless). The bed was uncomfortable and foreign (I don't do well on foreign beds) and it was warm in the room. Perfect breeding conditions for no sleep. So, of course, my dumb self thought I'd get some sleep once I got home and I'd feel better. I feel like [insert long strong of expletives here]. And I have to go to school, and I don't like coffee. -grumbles under breath-
Locke: I recommend not drinking too heavily while depressed. I've dealt with being depressed for a while, and I find that when I feel that way, drinking just enough to get a really good buzz going or even slightly drunk is the way to go. That way, you enter the initial phase of being drunk but don't go so far that you imbibe a whole ton of alcohol (which is a depressant itself and thus has the ability to make you feel a whole lot worse). I find that when I drink just enough to feel drunk, it feels good, but if I keep going, it defeats the purpose of drowning your problems in alcohol. Hrm, it's 8:30 in the morning. I wonder if that's too early for some orange juice and vodka...

@Z-man: Careful, careful. Watch your questions. If COMMrade Direktor here answers your query, chances are you should be ready to get some visits from a couple of strange men with dark glasses, fedoras, and trenchcoats.
Feeling grumpy today.
I had to settle for those 3-in-1's instead of the brewed kind. No time to prepare.

Pardon the question Direktor. Please don't feed me to Bunny.
Oh, yeah. I forgot that one too. Bunny, yeah.
Never forget Bunny.
Beginning to get a headache...
...yup, I'll be a bit grumpy in a few minutes.

Little men wielding oversized mallets are using the membranes inside of my cranium as an outlet for their aggression. Argh.
*grabs a fistful of aspirin from the bowl* I wish I could hire little hitmen equipped with oversized machetes to even the score...:mischief:

Nice to see you again, old buddy. I think a reunion is in order.
*presses Bunny button, listens to Z scream as he falls down the Crocodile chute*
Ah, that was satisfying in an appropriately sardonic fashion. Just like old times.

Bad night's sleep. Bad bad BAD night's sleep. And I think I may've been running in my sleep, too (in the bed, at least I wasn't sleepwalking like I have in the past... as far as I know ). I had this odd dream about being at some person's house... I was coming home from somewhere, and I got spat on by a dragon (a white dragon kinda looking like the one in Neverending Story, though how it could be that dragon I don't know since I never saw that god awful movie) that spat fire but in liquid form apparently, and it felt cold. :shrug: Then I went to take a shower and when I came out, almost everyone was a zombie and I was looking in my inventory (very game-style, yes) and furious I couldn't use the mondoly-cool looking axe I had because I didn't have the strength points (the axe was highlighted in red) and I had to use a pathetic new-character axe to fight some massive zombies. Good god I don't even play games like these anymore.
Pepsi. I need Pepsi...

@ Chim, That dream would send a psychologist into a tizzy. :laugh:
I slept wonderfully last night, but woke up sick today. I hate being sick. I have not gotten sick in nearly a year before this too. Damnit.

Yeah well, if I remembered more of my dreams, I'm sure I'd make a psychologist richer than God. But I inherited some very bizarre dream cycle from my mother; I only remember dreams one week a month, otherwise nothing. This was certainly one of the more memorable ones. Besides, it's not like the dream was that bad; I've seen people depict weirder ones.

True, true. Your dream was just strange. Mine are almost always innapropriate. Waking up from a fun dream to find you are sick is never a good morning.

* Fills a cup with coffee and adds twelve tee spoons of sugar. *
You know, coffee used to be banned in my country. Well it hasn’t been forbidden for a really long time, but it is kind of nice to think that it was once so. Of course the “no coffee” law was enforced with the help of new civil servants, the coffee sniffers, there was at least one in every village and town. Their job was to walk around and sniff if someone was frying coffee beans or making coffee. The punishments of these vile crimes were extremely high, based on the past standard of living. But what else could have been expected? The majority of coffee drinkers just happened to be older ladies with nothing else to do than hear the latest rumours while drinking some coffee. And we all know how addictive material coffee is.
But like I said it was really long time ago. The reason why such law was put into action was because the King had a little crush with the word “Mercantilism”. Increasing the wealth of one’s country is an admirable and agreeable goal. Which leads to us to the fact that; coffee beans aren’t growing properly in the northern hemisphere, mainly due to the colder weather. So that is why those beans had to go. I don’t know if I need add this or not, but it was prosperous time for the coffee smugglers.
It ended eventually, like most things do.
* Slowly spinning the spoon in the cup. *
I really don’t like coffee, perhaps I should try adding some milk? Does anyone want a cup of coffee?
Hmm. Interesting thread. Okay, I'll relate about something that happened yesterday morning. While I switched on the computer, I can't even get into Windows even after an hour. Tried it again, same thing. Then, I went into safe mode and managed to get in. After several tries without any success of getting into Windows via the normal mode, I was very pissed. Had to reformat the partition where I installed Windows (luckily, I transferred the much needed files over to the next partition, so, I saved myself a lot of precious time). Working like a charm soon after.
P.S. So, what is this Bunny anyway, a Sherman Crocodile (flamethrower tank)? I sure hope it ain't because I don't want to get scorched by it's flamethrower and get ripped to shreds by it's .30cal.

Almost noon my time but think I still qualify today. The past two days at work have made me feel like I live in a Dilbert cartoon. More of the same today. We're getting told at the last minute (yesterday) we have to install new hardware on our older computers. New (CAC) card reading keyboards must be installed by the end of the day. Why, well the powers that be decided that, "The older systems will be locked down starting at the end of today!! Oh and by the way the keyboards we are giving you have the wrong size pin jack and won't work. But that's not our problem. Comply or be shut down."
So, I have a machine to keep me breathing during my sleep, since apparently I tend to *stop* breathing in my sleep. I've had it for a week; got it a week ago today. The technician I talked to about the machine before I got it told me about some case or another where someone who was on the machine skipped a day, and felt worse than miserable the next morning.
Guess who freaking didn't use the machine last night? I felt so freaking awful today, it took me over an hour to get going; my usual speed pre-machine was 30 minutes. I was lethargic and almost devoid of energy all day. My brain's been in a fog. Stupid me turning off the god damn machine. [muttered curses]

@Chi,
Do you have Sleep Apnea? Sorry, rough stuff. My neighbor's wife does. She often has rough nights and doesn't sleep well. She describes the same syptoms (lethargic, no energy). She was so tired a couple of days ago that she feel asleep driving and almost ran into a ditch.
*grumbles* I was having a good morning, I got tons of sleep last night and all. However, I noticed that a large number of people complain of their games being screwed up because they do not understand how it works. Do people not read the game manuals any longer? They print and include those for a reason.
