Okay, who's awake??

[BlondieK143]

Unfortunately, I am. Third shift on Thanksgiving was a BAD idea. MY eyes are getting heavy and I still have 6 hours left. Anyone else out there? :)

[RaleighNCDUer]

1. Awake, but not necessarily coherent.

I'm off tomorrow, and I reward/punish myself by doing this into the wee hours.

[BlondieK143]

2. and you're doing that why??

I'd LOVE to be off tomorrow and get to snuggle up in a nice, warm, cozy bed.

What the hell are you smoking? :)

[RaleighNCDUer]

22. It could be a touch of insomnia, brought on by living a disjointed

purposless life.

Or it could be the half pot of coffee I drank after the family thanksgiving dinner.

But I feel myself fading fast.

You have my sympathy -- shift work sucks.

[BlondieK143]

23. Wow, that makes me want to cry.

Your life isn't purposless. If it were, you wouldn't be here. :) If anything, you're keeping me awake at 3 am!

[RaleighNCDUer]

33. Well, aw shucks. Thanks. Glad I can help.

Actually, 3 AM is one of my favorite times.

It's quiet, and allows the brain to do strange things without smokin nothin.

[BlondieK143]

34. Not always a plus!

I'd much rather have my brain right now rather than it switching to "auto-pilot".

And you're welcome- anything for a neighbor! :)

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

3. I am awake :)

I am still up feeding my face and shopping online .

[BlondieK143]

10. Nice!

Whatcha eating?

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

25. Sweet Potato Pie

I am getting it while I can . Everyone else is sleep lmao - by tomorrow morning I doubt if any more pie will be left LOL :)

[BlondieK143]

26. LOL!

Wish I ate the stuff! And you're very very smart! No one can interrupt your snacking (and we all know that early AM snacking is the best!).

[warrens]

4. Moi, but not for long

I was just out in the burbs for turkee day, with a bunch of nutty but fun Bulgarians, then at the Arcade Fire concert. They are gods. And now I must sleep.

[BlondieK143]

13. Awesome!

Get some sleep for me too! Goodnight!

[Scooter24]

5. I am...

drinking the leftover bottle of champagne

[BlondieK143]

14. Aww man!

I'm jealous! Weapon of choice?

[Scooter24]

21. :)

:hug: How was your holiday sweety?

No weapons tonight...happy happy thoughts...

Plus waiting on my man to get home for some umm...ya know :)

[BlondieK143]

24. Busy, busy, busy!

That's how mine was! But fun I suppose. How about you?

Awwwww damnit! Can you PLEASE get some for me too??? Grrrrr.

[Scooter24]

42. It was pretty good

Nothing unexpected. Had my answers to "How's school going?" and "So how are things going with school?" and "Where's the man at?" down cold. LOL...I could have saved a lot of time by printing out a primer and mailing it to everyone. But in all, lots of photos, saw the cousins, went jogging with my father, ate dinner, and then spent the rest of the time talking over alcohol. My boy had dinner with his family and is driving home as we speak :) He should be here in about 30 min..Yay!

I hope he isn't to tired...hehe

[BlondieK143]

44. Well, if he isn't tired already..

I'm sure he will be by the time you're finished with him! :evilgrin:

Glad to hear you had a good time!

[cavanaghjam]

6. Coherent, but not necessarily awake.

I have to work tomorrow and am totally irresponsible being up this late. Thanks for the reality check. I never seem to glance at the clock. More irresponsibility. Signing off. (I hope)

[BlondieK143]

15. Sleep is good!

Have fun at work tomorrow (err, today) and goodnight!

[Placebo]

7. C L E O P A T R A...

is on, so of course I'm awake silly. :P

[BlondieK143]

16. MY Bad!

:) Can't BELIEVE I would've thought differently!

[snoochie]

8. I am

I think I'll have just one more drink then off to bed.

[BlondieK143]

17. Sweet!

Drink one more for me too!

[snoochie]

64. Doing that just now.

Wow I drink really slow.

[BlondieK143]

65. lol if you drink faster...

it gets you drunk quicker! :D

[snoochie]

75. Oh no chance of that

I'm drinking wine. If I wanted to get drunk I'd drink vodka.

[BlondieK143]

78. LOL!

Now you're talking! Pass me some vodka and a lime and we're set!

[snoochie]

80. Ice cold, of course

:9

[BlondieK143]

81. I didn't know there was any other way!

:)

[snoochie]

84. I've had it neat before.

Was more interested in being drunk NOW than a pleasant drinking experience. Not as good as ice cold, but still, very effective!

[BlondieK143]

88. hahaha

sometimes you just don't care how cold/good it is, as long as it does the job, you're okay!

[democracyindanger]

9. Yeah, working too

At home. Hopefully I can finish in the next hour.

[BlondieK143]

18. Aww crap!

I wish I were able to work at home! Then at least I could be in my PJs!

[Indy_OK]

11. Still Awake

I am awake because I am a night owl who enjoys surfing until about 6 am and then to bed. Lots faster response time for all the lefty blogs that I enjoy reading especially in October.

[BlondieK143]

19. Cool!

How much of the day do you sleep away though? :)

[Indy_OK]

27. Sleep

I generally wake up around 1 to 2 pm

[BlondieK143]

29. That's not bad!

I couldn't do it, but if it works for you, that's great!

[Cobalt Violet]

12. Working hard again here too.

:boring:

[BlondieK143]

20. Blech.

Sucks doesn't it? :hug:

[Cobalt Violet]

30. Yes.

I've got 4 more hours to go. The last one is the hardest because I got to look busy when 7-3 gets here. And they start to show up as early as 6:15.

[BlondieK143]

32. I know what you mean!!

You actually have to stop reading DU and pretend to work. It's a real stretch for me too!

[cmd]

28. Me, I don't know why

I just came down stairs washed out the coolers and put them away, unloaded the dishwasher and twisted the top off a beer. Good morning, children. This is what arthritis does to you when you turn ancient like me.

[BlondieK143]

31. You're not ancient!

:)

[cmd]

40. OK, maybe not ancient

just broken down. Just griping because I twisted the stupid knee when I was going in my brother's side door. Pity party going on here.

[BlondieK143]

41. That sucks!

I'm sorry to hear that! Any meds lying around?

[cmd]

50. Just waiting for the Advil to kick in

Thanks for helping with my attitude adjustment. I'm going to hop off to bed now.....and take that literally. Good night. :hug:

[BlondieK143]

53. Awww!

:hug: Try to get a good night's rest! Feel better!

[Deja Q]

I am. Deliberately. Gonna pull an all-nighter.

That way, I'll miss the car accidents and other toils that after thanxgivin' sales bestow upon us.

And if I don't hear the doorbell when FedEx (a division of Planet Express) arrives, I can drive down that night to pick up my new movie poster.

[BlondieK143]

37. Ugh. Day after Thanksgiving Sales.

aka old-women-fights-r-us. Geez. :eyes:

What new movie poster?

[Deja Q]

97. Thanks for asking!

'Death Becomes Her' - not the British Quad size, but it's got the good artwork on it.

[BlondieK143]

99. Interesting!

:)

[Robeson]

35. Me, as usual

[BlondieK143]

38. How come?

?

[Robeson]

46. I'm a night owl.

[BlondieK143]

48. Can you pass some of that owliness to me?

Hrm. I wonder if that's even a word?

[Robeson]

51. Yes, I've just passed on the good "Night Owl Mojo"!

[BlondieK143]

52. Gee, thanks!

How long does it take for this stuff to kick in?

[Robeson]

55. In approximately 11 minutes. Not 12. Not 10. But 11! Now just...

...sit back and wait....

[BlondieK143]

57. I can't wait!

The pain... the torture... the tiredness... MAKE. IT. STOP. :D

[NoodleBoy]

36. me... had an odd urge to stay up and listen to U2's new album some more

[BlondieK143]

39. Any good?

I prefer Eminem's. :)

[NoodleBoy]

47. the rest of it sounds nothing like Vertigo

and as far as that song goes, hearing snips of it on iPod commercials every 10 minutes has pretty much ruined a potentially great song.

it's pretty good, sort of a more 'Boy'-era sound, with a little more maturity, a little more rock, and better production value.

[BlondieK143]

49. I hate those damn commercials!

They make me want to poke my eyes out with forks. Okay, so it's not THAT bad.

[NoodleBoy]

54. it was nice the first 200 times I heard it

now I change the channel... can't watch those anymore now, either, because I expect the entire song and not just the hook.

[BlondieK143]

56. Then it's all just a disappoinment!

:) I know the feeling!

[rasbobbo]

43. yeah?

i've heard its pretty good. the new green day is quite good, i think.

[BlondieK143]

45. Agree!

Well worth the $17!

[Mojambo]

58. I am

until this wine-beer-whiskey-turkey headache goes away.

[BlondieK143]

60. Ouch!

That does NOT sound like fun!

[Mojambo]

62. Same story every year

I deserve this for not learning my lesson.

[BlondieK143]

66. Wellll.

That's sorta the fun in it too. :D

[Mojambo]

74. This is true

As I munch on a piece of pumpkin pie at 12:47 AM...

[BlondieK143]

79. :) We must be on the same wavelength.

That's what I'm having too! That's probably a scary thing for you. :D

[Radical Activist]

59. I'm not awake

How you been Blondie? I haven't seen you on here for a while. I was just in East Tennessee a couple weeks ago for my post-election road trip. Are you still in the area?

[BlondieK143]

61. Awww man!!

Are you kidding me? I wish I would've known! Of course I'm still here! I have to keep some of these radical repubs from taking over completely! How have you been? :hug: It's been awhile!

[Radical Activist]

63. Hey now

don't start calling republicans radical...i'll get offended! ;)

[BlondieK143]

67. I just kidding!

:P

[hlthe2b]

68. I am.... Tower Records was open near me & playing Neil Young

Greatest Hits when I went in late this evening....Usually they play nothing but hard ass stuff that has me wanting out of there, but tonight, hearing "Ohio" and "After the Gold Rush"... "Southern Man".... well, I walked out with the CD of course and have been listening all night.

Has me very weepy....thinking back to Kent State (re: Ohio) and realizing that those kids' murders were covered up and that there is every reason to believe that Nixon and the then Ohio Governor conspired to allow a violent incident happen--in order to stop war protests in their tracks.... So familiar today with all the crap the Bushistas are pulling.

Oh, and if you haven't seen it, Neil Young has a video featuring himself in concert and snips from F911 to Rockin in the free world. Just google Neil Young and free videos. Interesting.....

So, sorry, I'm not in the Thanksgiving spirit here.... Feeling very emotional, nostalgic, and generally sad.

[BlondieK143]

69. :(

How about a hug? :hug:

[hlthe2b]

70. Could use one... thanks!

Bad moods pass... 'too bad the bad news doesn't so easily...

[BlondieK143]

72. I know.

But things could always be much worse. As my aunt always reminds me, you could be in Iraq.

[SillyGoose]

71. I'm awake - this is my first Thanksgiving without my husband

and I can't sleep - he passed away in February.



:cry:

[BlondieK143]

73. Aww sweetie!

:hug: :hug: I'm so sorry! How are you holding up?

[SillyGoose]

76. Hanging in there, Blondie, and thanks for the hug!

thought I would be worse but just a total insomniac tonight. (sigh)

Listening to Yesterday by the Beatles doesn't help, does it?

:hug:

[BlondieK143]

77. Turn that song off!

:( Only going to make things worse for you. :hug:

[SillyGoose]

83. Done - I've got the Stones going

so I'll never sleep now. Best R&R band out there. Damn, I knew there would be days like this. (my poor neighbors)

[BlondieK143]

85. Much better!

Helping any?

[SillyGoose]

90. Ooooh, yeah.

Thanks for the nudge in the right direction....

:hug:

[BlondieK143]

91. No problem.

Anything else I can do? :hug:

[SillyGoose]

98. Nope, thanks so much for the hugs and encouraging words, Blondie.

you made a rough night alot easier to deal with.

:yourock:

[BlondieK143]

100. You're more than welcome!

I know you'd have done the same if the situation were reversed. And if you ever need a shoulder, you can count on me anytime. :hug:

[Skittles]

82. me, Blonde

the death of my brother has me sleeping on an off for three hours.

[BlondieK143]

86. I am so sorry!

:hug: How are you doing?

[Skittles]

89. not too shabby

hanging in there, will post some updates soon. I have to say though that November 2004 has been the worst month of my life. In fact, I am ready for this entire g.d year to be over. :(

[BlondieK143]

92. :(

I'm so very sorry for your loss. You'll certainly be in my thoughts and prayers. :hug:

[Neoma]

87. i'm awake

[Robeson]

93. Checkin' in and it looks like my Mojo worked because you are still...

...awake! How 'bout some snaps for me! :headbang:

[BlondieK143]

94. maybe ONE snap.

:) I'm about to pass out over here!

[Robeson]

95. One is better than none. Thanks!

:hi:

[BlondieK143]

96. No problem!

:D

[Historic NY]

101. I'm still up worked all night and stopped to visit a relative in hospital.

Sleep coming soon snacked on turkey at 0330 hrs.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

102. I just woke up!

I miss ya darlin!!!
