So, I've just decided that everyone needs to accomodate my sleeping schedule so I can actually talk to someone once in a while. But, I guess that would mean that none of you are allowed to sleep...ever. Welcome to my long day.

ah, yes, but were you just getting up when I posted this, or were you actually AWaKE when I posted? that's the real question.

I was going to the bathroom when you posted this, then I went back to bed. Does that count?

Let's see...if it shows 6:06 EST, then that is 5:06 CST, or DST, whichever part of the year we're in...but regardless, since my inner alarm goes off about 4:30 KANSAS time, and I'm up at 5:00 KANSAS time, then, check, yep! I was up!

hmmmmm.....
6:00 Eastern??? I was actually up for over an hour when you posted this... although, it is a toss up as to whether I am already up, or getting ready to drop.

Cause in my dreams it's always there
The evil face that twists my mind
And brings me to despair.

Okay, then. I'll just add another stipulation. None of you were talking to me. And I was sitting right here at the time. lol

Sunshine, we need to have breakfast one of these days.

hmmm...at 6:06 I was out of the shower and getting dressed. I'm not on the pc until 8 a.m. and I don't think you could pay me enough money right now to get up earlier so that I could get online...

lmao I never thought I'd see the day I'd say that considering I used to be online dang near 24 hrs a day...

Friday? That would be the day following Thursday night? lol Well, I'd take that bet for sure because I didn't sleep that night. As for where I was...Manhattan. Just send me an email and I'll come over anytime. But, you might consider sending it a few hours in advance so I can get to wherever it is in Kansas that you live. lol

about a decade and a half ago, i came to the realization that the person who decided to put 24 hours in a day obviously had countless servants to aid him/her in all the minutae of life.

seeing as how i a) wasn't likely to find or afford said servants or b) would find extra things that needed to be done on top of what they would do anyway, i gave up on sleeping.

oddly enough, there's still not enough time.

had i been able to garner some extra time, however, rest assured that i would have spent it here, talking to you.
