I play those all the time. I’m still searching for someone who can beat me at Goldeneye for the N64. I am the king at that game. Any settings you can name, I’ll still stomp you.

I’m up. They left me all alone in the chatroom ! How rude, just because everyone has to get up in the morning early. * * * " The opposite of love isn’t hate, it’s indifference." Elie Wiesel Winner SDMB Biggest Flirt (Female) and Least Shy (No Mom, I have no idea why they think that) ---

I like Episode I Racer. I don’t play many video games, but I got hooked on that one when I played it. I’m considering buying a N64 just for that game. ---

Nope. My favorite game of all time is Batman on the original Nintendo. I could kick some serious Batass on that. ---

Nope. I don’t have a real job or go to school right now. I just happen to nocturnal at the time. Next week I’ll probably be on a real schedule. It fluxutes. Is fluxuates spelled with an x? ---

Well Lion (my husband/fellow poster) works nights, has for years. Since son is 19 now I stay up at night so I can sleep with him during the day.

You sleep days for your son? You are the coolest mom in the world! I would hate it if my mom did that, but it’s still cool. ---

Just wanted to let you know I’m also up, 4:15 AM. You never feel more like a medical student than when it’s 10:30 PM and you’re makin’ coffee. Fortunately, the class load for the next couple of days is light enough to ignore entirely, leaving me able to return to my natural nocturnal self in studying for Friday’s Pathology Exam from Hell. I’m not far from that magical 6:00 AM point that my undergrad buddies and I declared the official cut-off for an All-Nighter, and I plan to celebrate the feat with an omelet and some hash browns from the Tolly-Ho. Well, these bone tumors aren’t studying themselves. . . Dr. J ---

I’m here at work as usual. I’m trying to nail down a pretty good map to e-mail to everyone for the NC Doper meeting next weekend. REO Speedwagon is on the radio. Some kid is screaming out in the ER. Pure excitement. Is the word you are looking for “fluctuate?” * * * I have a hobby. I have the world’s largest collection of seashells. I keep it scattered on beaches all over the world. Maybe you’ve seen some of it. ---

Hey, if anyone is still up, could you answer a question for me? Besides that one I just wrote. My post #'s are coming up screwy. I posted here last night - # 105. I could have sworn the post previous to that was #99. Looking on a different thread from yesterday evening (the 7th), I was on #103, which was of course AFTER the early hours post on the morning of the 7th. What gives?
