Late Night Crew

[Kelly]

I figured I'd get this started over here. It's not too late, but I definitely should've been in bed by now...oops :p

Anyways, for all you late-nighters, come on in and say hi :)

Oh and thanks to Steve for this great website....if you're a cats fan you'll love it...you'll probably love it even if you're not a cats fan :p Just check it out....

[Kelly]

Laura, Steve, I see you guys online...MAKE ME GO TO BED!!!!!! Hehehe....

I have to be up in 5 hours to sub all day!!!!

[LauraA]

Kelly, off with you! NOW!;) Me, too. I was sleeping and woke up, couldn't get back to sleep....guess where I end up. I get up in a few hours, too, to watch daycare kids and do school with Ben. Steve, boot Kelly and I out of here, will you?!

[Labby]

Go to bed. I'll keep an eye on the place all night. It's not like I'm at work or anything.

Oh, wait, I am. Oh well.

[LauraA]

Ok, I submit. Don't be lonely here all alone, though. I suppose you have enough to read. Oh yeah, but you'll be working, too. :)

Actually, I want to take a quick peek over yonder. I spent more time here today than I meant to, and not enough time over there.

Night.

[Labby]

That's why I have two windows opened at the same time.

I still miss all my buttons...

[Kelly]

I did it! I made it to bed and got myself up on time! :) I need more sleep though :( Oh well TGIF!!! :) (Oh wait...that doesn't really apply when you work on Saturdays does it?)

[Kelly]

And boy is it COLD this morning!!!! Where did that come from? It was like 80 degrees when I went to bed! That's Texas for ya!

[LauraA]

That's why I have two windows opened at the same time.

I still miss all my buttons...

That's what I should do, too. When I headed over there last night, I saw you were signed in there, too, and figured you had two windows open. Good thinking. I miss seeing those buttons, too. But that's ok. All is well.

[LauraA]

And boy is it COLD this morning!!!! Where did that come from? It was like 80 degrees when I went to bed! That's Texas for ya!

Wisconsin is the same way. Drastic temperature fluctuations throughout a 24 hour period. Especially in spring and fall.

Speaking of weather, I get to buy my flowers this weekend! Fill up the flower pots and watch them grow. Then watch the bunnies eat them. LOL.

[brianfalexander]

I'm a late nighter. Me and Kelly I think it was were talking a little last night. I think you all were up later than me though. ha So today in Charlotte, NC is 80 degrees.

[Psalms23]

And boy is it COLD this morning!!!! Where did that come from? It was like 80 degrees when I went to bed! That's Texas for ya!

Sounds like Indiana..In one week I've seen 70+ and another day that week we had snow!!

[brianfalexander]

I'm gad I live where I do. It's nice here.

[Labby]

To all you late-nighters, I think that I typically go to bed later than you do. I don't go to bed until 7:30 am at the earliest. Why?

I work graveyards. It's just not natural to sleep at night.

It's also why anyone who calls me before 3 pm Pacific risks bodily harm.

[themadclipper]

Today was pleasant. I have not been to bed since I got up at about this time yesterday. I think it is time. The weather is pretty pleasant, actually- we have the windows open.

[Labby]

Last night, rather than sleeping, I saw an absolutely amazing film -- Saints and Soldiers. Insanely good film. As I watched the special features, I found out they sent it to just about every film festival, hoping to be accepted to (maybe) three. They were accepted to almost every festival they applied, and won Best Picture at just about every festival they entered.

VERY good film. Rated PG-13 for war violence. No language, no nudity, and an absolutely amazing story.

[Kelly]

Note to self: NEVER call Steve before 3pm! :p

[LilyWhite]

Most of the time I am online during the week, no one else is. Except Labby sometimes. I guess that is what I get for living 8 hours in the future!

[Labby]

I pop on and off while at work. I nailed a lot of spammers that way back in the day.

[themadclipper]

I'm on a lot, but with very little in the way of a pattern. Work has been more demanding of late, but I've also been on more. Go figure.

[brianfalexander]

I haven't had anything i've been doing during the day so i'm here whenever.

[themadclipper]

Last week was not good. I had to take Wed and Thu (Thu and Fri in the land of "normal" human beings) to do jury duty. We finished around noon on Friday, then Jennifer and the boys and I went shopping. I took like a three hour nap, and was back at work @2330. I didn't leave work until 3 p.m. Saturday.

I'm still feeling it.:(

[themadclipper]

I seriously need to go to bed right after work today. We had a Sunday School departmental meeting tonight- they only happen quarterly, and they really are good, but I'm running on fumes after last week. And this Thursday we are going have guys in our basement with jackhammers. I think it will take another week of "normalcy" to recover after Thursday!:confused:

ahem Chris, does normalcy actually exist in your world?

[Labby]

Thursday morning I get to drive an hour and a half in order to get a head, then come back home and go to sleep. Of course, this will be after I cash my paycheck at 9 am.

At least the head is a good one: Gallien-Krueger.

niiiiiiiiiiiiice

im still trying to locate a reasonably priced trace elliot head to go with the cab, i may end up selling the cab though as i dont really play enough to justify having it lol

[Labby]

Heh. I'll have the head, but no cab. I eventually want to get a GK Goldine 1x15 and a GK GL 2x10. The 1x15 gives me enough low-end punch, and the 2x10 is great for Wednesdays -- we don't have a youth room, so we rip apart the sanctuary. Moving a 2x10 cab is easier than moving a 2x15 cab.

[themadclipper]

I (hopefully) get to leave a bit early today, because Thursday we have jackhammers in the basement. I was unpleasant tonight- still trying to catch some sleep back- and I'm betting tomorrow will be no better.:(

if i were in oregan id give you a great deal on my trace 1x15 haha

[themadclipper]

I just learned today that Nike was founded and is headquartered in Oregon. We may need to start an Oregon thread, as Discovery's very cool new series, "Axmen," takes place there.

[Labby]

I was actually right next to Nike Park to get my head.

And Oregon's got some cool stuff.

Oooooh.... And my new head?

KILLER!

I can'ts wait until Sunday, when I gets to play wit it.

[fireproof]

So thats 2 things in the histroy the world that oregan is responsible for, WOW ;)

[Labby]

Plus the Oregon Trail, the largest migration in North America.

We're also the home state of Kutless, Shawn McDonald, Mat Kearney, and Falling Up, and were host to dc Talk when they recorded their "Welcome to the Freak Show" album. Plus they've done a lot of recording here (one of Toby's producers lives in Eugene).

[Kelly]

I shoulda popped my head in here when I got home from a road trip at 2:30am.....SO TIRED! NEED SLEEP!!!! Darn the Saturday job! *snore*

Here are some fun facts about Texas:

The only place in the world where they make Dr. Pepper according to the original formula is in Dublin, Texas. Dr Pepper was invented in Waco in 1885. There is no period after the Dr in Dr Pepper

Seventy-five percent of the world's Snickers bars are made in Waco at the M&M/Mars plant. (Man, Waco is cooler than I thought....maybe I should be proud I was born there :p)

Rodeo is the official state sport of Texas, though High School Football is more popular.

It is illegal to spit on the sidewalk. (Hmmmm....I know a LOT of criminals then!)

The all American meal, the hamburger, was created in Athens, Texas.

The King Ranch in Texas is bigger than the state of Rhode Island.

Texas State representative, Jim Kaster, introduced a bill that all criminals must notify their victims in advance of their crimes and remind them that use of deadly force is authorized. (WHAT????)

When Texas was annexed in 1845 it retained the right to fly its flag at the same height as the national flag.

Texas is the only state to have the flags of 6 different nations fly over it. They are: Spain, France, Mexico, Republic of Texas, Confederate States, and the United States.

The Dallas/Fort Worth airport is larger than New York City’s Manhattan Island.

In Port Arthur obnoxious odors may not be emitted while in an elevator. (hehehe wow)

It is illegal for children to have unusual haircuts in Mesquite, Texas. (hehehehehe)

El Paso is closer to Needles, California than it is to Dallas. (I believe it!)

You can be legally married by publicly introducing a person as your husband or wife three times. (True! Be careful when joking around!)

Austin is considered the live music capital of the world. (Yep! Love it!)

Texas has the first domed stadium in the country. The structure was built in Houston and opened in April 1965.

Texas possesses three of the top ten most populous cities in the United States. These towns are Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio.

Home to David Crowder, Chris Tomlin, and Seventh Day Slumber

And my hometown of New Braunfels has some awesome facts to its name as well
- Home to Texas's oldest dancehall, Gruene Hall - used in the movies Michael and Hope Floats
- Home to Schlitterbahn (world's largest waterpark)
- The world’s largest collection of beer bottles can be seen at Wurstfest in New Braunfels. (Yep! I'll have to show yall my pics sometime)

[themadclipper]

*sniff* How did we turn this int the "Be True to Your School" thread?
Sunny Des Plaines, IL, is home to ...

Ray Kroc's original McDonald's
The 1,000th McDonald's
The 2,000th McDonald's
The 3,000th McDonald's

And, apart from the first one (which is now a museum), I've eaten at all three. I know, it's no big deal. I just thought I'd mention it.:cool:

Need a ninja.

[Labby]

My town has some weird little quirks, too.

One of only two towns in the United States to have "The" as part of the official city name.

Colonel Wright Elementary School is the only government building where the flagpole is behind the building, not in front.

Columbia Gorge Community College used to be a tuberculosis hospital, and then a mental institution.

There are only three floating ballrooms west of the Mississippi. All three are in Oregon. Two of them are in The Dalles.

The One, the Only, the Original End of the Oregon Trail is right here in The Dalles (okay, it's actually a half-mile outside of town at Crate's Point, but you get the idea).

That hole in the ozone layer? Right above The Dalles. It'll be snowing just north, south, east, and west of us, and we'll have sunshine.

[fireproof]

okay so scotland invented

Telephones
television
penicillan
the light bulb
golf

and many other stuff

[themadclipper]

Golf was invented shortly after whiskey.:cool:

[brianfalexander]

Checking in for the night. It's 12:10AM. Anyone around?

[Kelly]

I'm here, but it's only 11:30 here, and I won't be up much longer....LONG day tomorrow....

Subbing 7:00-4:00, Kids Club 4:00-7:00, then Spurs game after that!

But after tomorrow SUMMER BEGINS!!!!!!!!! :)

[fireproof]

Golf was invented shortly after whiskey.:cool:

golf, a waste of a good walk..... lol

[Kelly]

So after getting a whole hour and a half of sleep last night, then getting up at the buttcrack of dawn, working two jobs, and finally getting home at 7pm, I was quite tired! Fell right to sleep, even though I was glued to the tv watching the spurs game. Didn't even make it to halftime! Woke up to find the game was over (we lost!), and it was 1:30am....wow! Nice little nap there! But now I'm wide awake, and appear to be all alone in the world :p Anyone out there????

So, is the "buttcrack of dawn" really, really early? Sounds like something one would only do during a Plumber's Moon.

[fireproof]

i think you can put the whole construction industry in there mate. Vbl's are never good

if you cant figure out what vbl stands for you dont deserve too lol ;-)

[Kelly]

Hehe yes it is....I dont even remember where it came from, sadly, but I've been saying it for the longest time.

[themadclipper]

I get to go back to work tonight.

Yeah- it should be fun after a week off.

[Kelly]

So I got a new toy today:

http://media.tumblr.com/xXy0CcV8a9r8kpb5GZ5DSvX8_400.jpg

My brother had told me all about it a few days ago and I got online and ordered it immediately. I love it! Picks up the most random radio stations, but oh well hehe.

Of course I spent all night loading it up with music and then listening to that music....but somehow I still managed to eat dinner, shower, and do the laundry :) But it's definitely past my bedtime so I'm outta here!

SHINEY .... is that the one with the SD expansion slot? Sandisk is definitely in my sights, but after today's car repair(s), it's once again only a dream....

[Kelly]

Sure is :) and yes it is shiny!!! :) I wanna get a cover for it or something, but all I can find are those rubber things...I dont like those! Maybe I can find a case somewhere. For now I'm using the little bubble envelope it came in hehe

You should check out Amazon.....they have some pretty cool deals....my brother got his new from Amazon for $30! Mine was $60 used...but his was a 1GB and mine's 2GB so I guess that makes sense :) Plus I did expedited shipping because I wanted to make sure I got it before my trip this weekend!

[themadclipper]

No- SHINEY. It's an OB thing.

[Kelly]

Oh hehe! I missed that one! :p

[God'sGirl]

So where is everyone?? The Night Crew must be missing. I thought people were going to be on there posts. It must be weekends only.

[themadclipper]

So where is everyone?? The Night Crew must be missing. I thought people were going to be on there posts. It must be weekends only.

Nah, we're always here. It's just that we're posting in between work!

[God'sGirl]

Oh, Okay. Thanks

Nah, we're always here. It's just that we're posting in between work!

[themadclipper]

Sometimes it is merely different night, same stuff.

Tonight is very much like that. But hey, today is my two year anniversary with my current employer. YEAH!:D

[God'sGirl]

Well, Congrads on 2 years

Sometimes it is merely different night, same stuff.

Tonight is very much like that. But hey, today is my two year anniversary with my current employer. YEAH!:D

[themadclipper]

Thank. Considering the market these past several year, it is something of an achievement.

[Labby]

I've been here four and a half years. Scary.

[themadclipper]

You should post a picture of your workplace's exterior- it sounds pretty popular.

[fireproof]

in 44 days il have been at myu currenty emloyer for 3 years, that is scary!

[themadclipper]

I need to remember not to go in on early on Friday nights - it's a recipe for failure. I started ~2230, and got out ~1000.

Stinks to be me, I guess.:D

[themadclipper]

I have a dynamo-powered (wind-up) flashlight in my cargo pocket just in case the lights go out.:D We're having some pretty intense thunderstorms coming through, but no flooding in our area, thankfully!

[jllm04]

Wisconsin is the same way. Drastic temperature fluctuations throughout a 24 hour period. Especially in spring and fall.

Speaking of weather, I get to buy my flowers this weekend! Fill up the flower pots and watch them grow. Then watch the bunnies eat them. LOL.

:o oh bunnies...

Laura, your fighting the good fight to make our world pretty!
Now, you feel like coming to texas and help me house hunt?
(I'm realizing this is a lot harder when you have to drive 2 1/2 hrs. to the place you'll be living!)

:) Lana

[Kelly]

I told Laura to come to Tx so we can go to that free show in Alabama in August!!! You should come with us!!! :p

[Labby]

Weird... I had three days off this week. I actually slept for three nights in a row! Weirdness!

And now, the downside to working the night shift:

My buddy/co-worker is out of town Saturday, so we had to swap shifts (hence the three days off). I'm working Saturday night. I'm also preaching Sunday morning. This'll be interesting.

[Labby]

Euan, I have to tell you, I'm always thinking of you...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

that is genius!!!!!!

[Kelly]

Hehehehehe that's awesome!!!

[Kelly]

Ok it's 4am and I'm still wide awake...what gives????

[themadclipper]

I got out on time today! Yeah!

And Friday morning I will get out an hour early!

[LauraA]

^^^You needed that! Wow, talk about a run on overtime....I don't know how you do it.

[Convicted]

I stay up all night every night.....this thread would describe what I do everyday....lol

[Kelly]

I'm going to bed at 2am tonight! Woohoo! That's a record for this week....my schedule has been all outta whack....not sure why!

[Labby]

I was woken up early by a voicemail asking if I wanted to go swimming. I went.

Now I'm exhausted and don't want to wait two hours before I can go home and sleep.

Although, swimming was fun. Just not sure if it was fun enough for me to be half-asleep at work.

[fireproof]

as its still unsociably early in the states i can post. IM at work, it sucks. I have had nothing but nasty folk shouting at me all morning for problems that are either their own fault or those of a third party company........grrrrr

PLus i was feeling rotten to start with (im losing a personal war with the pollen count).

The only thing thats getting me through is im going to see kung fu panda when im done!

[Labby]

Euan, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you work at a motel. That describes my typical day.

Except for tonight, which consisted mostly of me on the verge of taking the secondary computer and throwing it out the window -- I've been trying to print off my BB King ticket for tonight, but TicketMaster wasn't cooperating. However, I finally found a way that worked, and I am happy to have my ticket.

"The thrill is gone..."

[fireproof]

see a saturday shift usally has the following benefits:-

5hr shift instead of 7
a full day off during the week
its quiet, normally just balances and 3rd party transfers

and the disadvantages

half hour lunches the other four days ur in
getting up on a saturday

not today

today i took 70 calls (on average in a 7 hr shift you'l take 85), thats stupidly busy

secondly every second call was an argument and none of it was my or the banks fault aaaaaaarghh!!!

On a brighter note, kung fu panda is fliiping awesome!

[LilyWhite]

Sho! You all sound very busy, I have one more week of winter holidays left. Yay for being a teacher! Yay for winter and yay for tea.

[themadclipper]

Cheese dip rocks @2 a.m.

[fireproof]

im sorry but is there any time cheese dip does not rock????

aaah im just tidying up my emails before getting to sleep in my own bed for as long as i want, iv been getting maybe 5hrs of solid sleep a night for the past 8 days at camp, chaos! Theres nothing worse than waking up at 5am needing a pee whilst sleeping in a tent about 100yards away from the main building which is through a gate and over a bridge, and in aviemore its bloomin cold at night!

[Kelly]

E's gotta point there hehe

im sorry but is there any time cheese dip does not rock????

[Kelly]

I NEED to be in bed right now! Why am I not in bed right now? Gotta be up in 6 1/2 hours to go have lunch at my niece's school! Yikes!

[Labby]

Heh; I got two calls from work within three hours of each other.

The first was from a guy whose drop was $56.50 over. He needed my awesome auditor skillz to find where it came from. Unfortunately, my awesome auditor skillz failed us this time; possibly because I was woken from a dead sleep. Who knows...

The second was from the relief auditor, who needed to know how a guy could be left in the computer but not be charged room and tax for the night, per GM. Hm.... Sounds fishy, but I know how to do it, and it's a situation that is easily fixable by pretty much anyone at a later time.

Then I got to sleep.

[Convicted]

I love the night time!! Late night/early morning. It's like I wake up at that time no matter how long I've been awake prior; I become more energetic. I also think it's interesting that a lot of people who write songs, are active a lot during the night. It's usually quieter, and allows more time for contemplation and prayer. Our ears are more adapt to listening to what God has to say when there's less distractions to block our listening. (Which indicates, it's a good idea to train our ear to listen to God at all hours, inspite of distractions).. It's a great time to meet with God.

The night, has always been special to me, even when I was a little kid. I suppose it kind of makes me feel individualistic also, since the majority of people are asleep, and not busily running around. Night driving, rocks! The most disappointing part of the night though, is if you live in a city, you can't blast music.... yeah extremely disappointing, (unless you're someplace that's sound proof, or work at that hour, special events, holidays, etc..).

What's kind of funny is, it doesn't really matter how long I stay up, (I suppose it would eventually) I just don't get that tired, especially when it's night..
It's like when the sun comes out, (the time when most people wake up), I take that as a sign of going to bed (if I decide to at all, 'cause I still like the day, the sun, events that go on, and hanging with people).. and when it's night, (the time when most people go to bed), I wake up. It doesn't really matter if I were to go to bed early, I'd still be awake, just in bed...

I can't list how many awesome things there are about the night. But I think it's pretty cool how God wires some people for it.

[Labby]

People are starting to stir in my motel. Two guests have come down for coffee. I'll be putting out breakfast in half an hour.

Good thing about the night shift: there's no one around to tell me not to look for stuff on ebay.

Bad thing about the night shift: there's no one around to tell me not to bid on stuff I find on ebay.

I placed a $200 on a tray-type powered mixer for my youth group. It's a Peavey XR1600D -- 16 channels, 300w per side. We currently use a Peavey XR8600 -- 8 channels, 300w per side, and box-type -- the thing that bugs me the most about it. Gain =/= volume control, which is what you get on box-type mixers. Plus we're maxing it out -- no empty channels. And we want extra channels for extra stuff, ya know?

Okay, I was asking for that. Well played.

[themadclipper]

Wow ... this thread has languished a bit.

They gave us a weather radio, and then they put some thick vinyl over our single pane window. I can see the instructions for the radio behind the thick vinyl ....:confused:

[Labby]

One downside to working the night shift and being a youth leader: you start off any youth trip with zero sleep. Yeah, it's normal to be exhausted at the end of events, but not before you even leave for it...

I'll be going with our drama team to Fine Arts Festival at the beginning of April. So while they're performing, I'll probably be trying to catch a nap somewhere.

[Labby]

New toy! Acer Aspire One laptop! It's TINY, but it means I don't have the blasted Blockers on the work computer anymore! And now I have WoW to keep me entertained at my motel all night!

I've only had four sessions...

By the end of Session 1, I was Level 11.
Session 2: Level 15
Session 3: Level 17
Session 4: Level 18, just shy of 19 (they shut down the server for maintenance)

its amazing that a show that everyone who sees it loves it didnt get kept on. Its phenomenal. All the characters and their inadequecies and personalities make it sharp and funny and fresh.

Plus im a sucker for Jewel Staite (Kayleigh)

Kaylee. It's spelled out on a wall near the end of the pilot: "Kaylee's." Me thinks that was the hatch to her quarters? Or maybe she's just very possessive of the Serenity?

i couldnt remember the spelling, iv not seen the pilot in a while, it is at the hatch to her room indeed.

One of my fave moments is when Jayne offers mal 'vera' "she is my most favourite gun"

[Kelly]

A friend of mine burned the entire Firefly series onto CDs for me as well as Serenity. I have yet to watch any of it, but I'm guessing by people's reactions that I should :p

[Psalms23]

Good Night Late Night Crew, Aaron is off to bed!

You do need to watch it. I've been asked if I've seen Serenity. I haven't yet; I'm waiting until after I watch all of Firefly.

I hope to get another episode or two under my belt tonight.

its much advisable to see the whole friefly series before serenity if possible, but you'll still love it either way round

Looks like I'm part of the late-night crew tonight! 3am and I'm FINALLY going to bed! Been a whirlwind of a couple days! Need sleep! :p

Lately it's been rare that I'm HOME by 3am on my nights off. I've been WoW-ing it up with a couple friends. Then Saturday night/Sunday morning (left their place at 2:30) I spent the next three hours typing up my sermon notes. In Notepad.

I'm downloading Open Office right now so I never have to do that again.

[Convicted]

What exactly is Open Office like? Is it similar to software like WordPerfect?

It's like Microsoft Office... but free. It's got programs like MS Office, but more open (where MS is very strict about what it can and can't do, Open Office will read just about any program and you can do a bunch of stuff with it). I got it because I really can't afford to get all the software I need (actually, I'd rather spend the money on my youth group or gear). This was an alternative a friend of mine was raving about.

Google Open Office; the first link should be the official site.

Another episode of Firefly under my belt. 'Our Mrs. Reynolds' You know, the one where Mal wakes up with a hangover and a wife.

I love OpenOffice. I really like that you can save a word document as a pdf file. It really comes in handy if you have to email someone a document, since it will keep all the formatting the same.

So my sister graduated tonight. We had a big party for her after the ceremony & by 11 I was WIPED OUT. I couldn't even keep my eyes open! Got in bed. Tossed & turned for 3 hours & here I am. Still awake, still w/ eyes BARELY open....SO tired...but can't fall asleep.

HELP!! :(

I'm about to set a new personal record...

My church is doing a children's outreach called KidsQuest. We're doing at the Latin Assembly of God in town. I was drafted last-minute to play a very important part: the voice of TJ the Tiger.

This means that my Thursday, Friday, and Saturday afternoons are filled with practice and performance. And I get to work Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights...

I woke up at 1 pm today (Friday), have a worship workshop at 10 am, practice starting at 1 pm, KQ going until 8:30-ish, and then work from 11 pm to 7 am.

By the time I get to bed Sunday morning, I'll have been up around 42 hours.

It's amazing what we can push our bodies to do, eh?

I'm a night owl and early riser (because of work) in the same body. I will be awake by 7am probably unless this cold lets me sleep in.

Don't try to beat that record unless you get some sleep first and wake up in the middle of the night w/ insomnia :D

I need to get to bed myself because I get up @ 6:15 am CDT. Gotta love work
(for the next 6.5 weeks)

Tonight I got to work. My co-worker, also a very good friend and fellow youth leader, had a very simple question:

"Would you like to help us move?"

He and his wife are moving into a new place: his parents are turning their basement into a seperate apartment for them. I spent several days last week helping them break a platform, cut sheet rock, texture, paint, lay linoleum, and other such things. So tomorrow morning after I get off work, I get to grab my truck (which is what they really wanted all along), help them move for a couple hours, grab a few hours sleep, go to a youth leader meeting, probably help them move some more, then shower and work again.

I guess I'm a glutton for punishment.

Uggghhh....

I woke up at 2:30 Tuesday afternoon. It'll probably be 7:30 before I get to go to bed. That's 43 hours.

Right now my brain is soooo fried...
