That holds some interesting similarities. Converting the time-stamps on my posts can yield some odd results to the effect that I am occasionally awake for 20 hours.

On a related note, do computer-related actions seem to take longer when they should be faster? It is almost as though something derived pleasure from causing the wireless connection to fail, sites to be down, and various annoyances.


There was one time that I was up for 24 hours. That was last June when I was having a bit of a crisis. I've never done that again.

Something about not sleeping enough seems to worsen the symptoms (stress?). I try to get enough hours, but I frequently fail.

Maybe there are practical benefits to advocating a larger PE requirement 18 months after I no longer take the rotten class. Muahahaha!

Actually, I am already drafting a letter to give to the school after I receive my diploma. It will be quite critical in the Aspie [sic] way if I do not begin revising it again. At least I know what to add..

I always get really restless and stimmy right when the semester ends because my brain is still at full thinking force, and suddenly I have nothing to occupy it with. Makes me wonder what's going to happen after I graduate if I end up with a job that doesn't require a lot of thinking :? Hopefully the books I ordered will get here soon, although I can't take them to my parents' house which is where I'm going tomorrow. One of them, because it's a Christmas present for one of my brothers, and the other book, because it's obviously about atheism, and I'm pretty sure I don't want to have that conversation with my mom a week before Christmas....... (or ever if I can avoid it....)

Fascinating. I am not alone in experiencing the, "sudden stop," phenomenon following a period of intense intellectual stimulation.

I collected a heap of quartz pieces today; after cleaning them, they look almost too good to use with my sling (of note: The David and Goliath type of sling, not the common boys' slingshot).

I did some measuring with Google Earth, and 80 meters tends to be the average of a palm sized stone from my sling; I do a simple overhand throw. I can generally hit a car sized target at that range so far each time, but I reckon I could get it down to a fridge with lots more practice.

The stones actually hit with more "authority" than most firearms I've shot/owned. Penetration won't be there, but pure blunt trauma kills just the same.

Long ago, dinosaurs roamed a lush and fertile Earth.

Then, an asteroid about 6 miles wide changed all that.

None for me, thanks.

No wonder I don't go to that clubhouse as often as I used to. The staff and the members are very unpredictable and that causes my anxiety to skyrocket.

I don't want it to snow. If it snows, my hours will get cut until the snow is gone. I used to get excited about the snow when snow was still in the contract for the company that I work for. It can snow on Christmas Eve and go away on Boxing Day.

If it snows, I have to shovel my long driveway.

Well you two, maybe you should ask Santa for no snow, hey :santa:

In any case, not much is sticking anyway :?

Yes, it can snow a teeny-tiny bit and then melt immediately afterward. :santa: :rendeer:
