Im starting a thread. Because it’s 2 in the morning and I have no life. Also I don’t feel like I’ve been contributing anything to the SDMB lately. ---

I’m posting to a thread. Because it’s 3 in the morning and I’m not yet sleepy. Also, because I. . . am bored? Yeah, that’s why. ---

3 in the morning is WAY too late to be on the internet! Get to bed. ---

Well, lemme tell you about my interesting Friday: I was up _way_ too late last night on the phone, so I kinda slept in today. I got up, cleaned my apartment and hung out a bit, ran a couple of errands but was trying to avoid the holiday shoppers. . . came home and did some homework. Found myself some dinner and read for a bit, then I popped in a movie and took a tiny nap while it was on. Woke up to the phone ringing, declined an invitation to go clubbing. . . So here I am, pretty much wide awake. And no, I don’t think I’ll get to bed right this minute. 🙂 ---

I guess we all have to post twice. If my last post didn’t make it clear, I’m bored too. ---

Sinatra sang about “the wee small hours of the morning” for good reason. It’s so quiet and safe at this moment. Besides, I used to drag myself out of bed at 4:30 a.m. to get to work. I did that for twenty years. Now I glory in the privilege of staying up all night and sleeping all day. Nyah…Nyah…Nyah… ---
