So this is what an unparty looks like . . . this is my first.

I’ll just be making my way out now, seeing as y’all are just prudes.

Hey, **waterj2** , I think I’m going to make that my new sig! I wonder how long it’d be ‘fore I get the obligatory "Shorten the effin’ sig, dagnammit!" E-mail.

**dpr** , would you mind if we cloned you? There’s no way us ladies will ever be content sharing dances with you like this. 🙂

Sleep? _rolls his eyes_ I wish.  
_in the background the band changes to Who Needs Sleep?_

It’s fifteen minutes after pumpkin hour and I’ve come to the conclusion that the only thing worse than being an insomniac is being a sick insomniac. I have the flu and am weak and tired and STILL can’t sleep.

* * *

I reach down, I count sheep, I count heartbeats  
The only thing that counts is that I won’t sleep  
I reach down, I look around…  
hmmmm sleep… counting sheep… cloning… Dolly… the universe really IS holistic!!

Maybe I could selflessly offer more of my time to dance with and satisfy all of you lovely ladies if that’s what you want.

They returned hand in hand and the bellman unmanned  
for a moment with noble emotion  
Said this amply repays all the wearisome days  
We have spent on the billoughy ocean
