> [@Dr.Girlfriend](#): > > There’s always 11:11 pm too… I can still win this thing! I’m so old. The only reason I have to be up at that time of night is insomnia. My clock reads 9:53, but I may not be around at 11:11, so I’m posting now and admitting defeat. I am glad we made it to 11-11-11 and hope we all get to see 12-12-12 also. ---

I used the atomic clock at [time.gov](http://time.gov) to experience the exact second when it was 11:11:11 on 11/11/11. At 11:11:08 or 11:11:09, “TiK ToK” by Kesha came on my Pandora radio station on my computer. She’s my favorite singer, and the song title was totally appropriate for the situation!
