35 more minutes! Everyone count down with me–34…33…okay, FINE! Go back to your silly air brush conversation. See if I care…\ * * * 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. ---

Hi there. Just checking in to the Up Late thread because I’m umm up late. I’ve got nothing of consequence to say, other than : “It’s 4:38 AM. Do you know where your pillow is?” * * * “Honey we’re recovering Christians.” –Tori Amos - _In the Springtime of his Voodoo_ ---

Well, I’m up late because i’m a night owl, and well, because i have some school work i’m working on. The school work is preparing for my part of the discussion I have to facilitate tomorrow in my last class of the day (basically I get to help teach part of the class). Chapter 2 of one of our books. I finished the Jeopardy questions, and now I have to summarize my part, as well as summarize each subsection. Ahh what fun this is. I decided not to do the readings for my first class. I just wont participate tomorrow (i know, bad bad doobie!) * * * I myself am an incorrigible conlang slut. I love oral lex. ---

Well, I think I’ll turn in. I hate it when my folks get up and start bitching about me staying up all night. So, have a good night, day, whatever. ---

I’m gonna be in so much trouble tomorrow. I slept from 6 PM until 1 AM, and I have to drive to Naples for a Model UN conference tomorrow, and I’m gonna be so dead on my feet… my next post will probably come from the emergency room after the accident I’m bound to have. Maybe Mr. Miles will let me leave early if I’m too tired. I mean, I nearly fainted when I got home, I was so tired. I don’t wanna die. I hope I can leave early enough to come home and just sleep, sleep, sleep… ---

Umm, hello? I just got off work from the local Village Inn, serving food to a bunch of drunks! Sometimes they are just too much fun. Seriously! Anyway, just checking in to say yep, I am a nite owl too. The first time I saw this thread was the middle of the after noon, and figured I should probably wait to post, otherwise it would defeat the purpose. Oh, I’m sorry was I rambling on again? Sleep depravation, is a wonderful thing! LOL Got to be up in about an hour with the heathens. Should I even go to sleep? Well, I will be floating around here for a while and checking back in to see who else is here. Mistress Kricket ---
