Insomniacs...where are ya?
12:26 a.m. Funny, at 8:00 p.m. I was so tired I was ready to fall asleep and then I got my second wind. I've been watching the movie "Thirteen Days" (great film about JFK and the potential of WW III with the USSR) and am now enjoying a brand-new song by Heaven 17 from the compilation "Electricity Vol. 2," which is a collection of some great new synth-pop.

What's everyone else up to?

1. I'm here
I am currently proving that hitting back is just as immoral as hitting first and that aliens didn't leave messages in our DNA. Typical day/night. :)

8. Alas, I am here!
Browsing du, browsing all my aviation/aircraft sites/forums, browsing all my apple/mac related news/rumours sites, talking to a few fellow insomniacs on AIM (my sn is: VIPERE DU MER for all those bored who might wanna talk) and browsing my fav porn sites

oh, and listening to some patti smith, god i love that woman...

"Every night before I go to sleep
Find a ticket, win a lottery,
Scoop the pearls up from the sea
Cash them in and buy you all the things you need.

Every night before I rest my head
See those dollar bills go swirling 'round my bed.
I know they're stolen, but I don't feel bad.
I take that money, buy you things you never had.

Oh, baby, it would mean so much to me,
Oh, baby, to buy you all the things you need for free.
I'll buy you a jet plane, baby,
Get you on a higher plane to a jet stream
And take you through the stratosphere
And check out the planets there and then take you down
Deep where it's hot, hot in Arabia, babia, then cool, cold fields of snow
And we'll roll, dream, roll, dream, roll, roll, dream, dream.
When we dream it, when we dream it, when we dream it,
We'll dream it, dream it for free, free money,
Free money, free money, free money, free money, free money, free money."

15. It's late, I need a smooth tea
Nothing sharp.
Then again, this is coming from the college student who crams for chem exams at 5 in the morning with her coffee...:0

17. cramming is the only way to go
I have gotten through most of college only taking classes that have papers and test with no attendece policy or homework. It is like clockwork, three weeks of goofing off one week of work, but I am a liberal arts student and I get by becuase there is no wrong answer as long as you can back it up.

22. Here!
Vicious, wicked insomnia!

I have things to do, can't drag around tomorrow.

This hits me every few weeks. I can't sleep at all.

I read a book, then did some laundry, then came to DU.
