anyne wanna join the G|A Midnight Society?

[revil]

I would. But i'm luckly getting over my insomnia. YAY! it's been quite some time. I actually have been able to remember dreams lately. so nice.

edit: speaking of which, i wonder if there is a way to mod the board so it shows in the profile when a poster is usually online. that would be fairly interesting.

[NuTs62]

weirdos.. who da hell would be awake at this time?! :shifty:

i'm actually trying to go to sleep before 12 these days. get to work sooner = leave work sooner.

[coleslaw]

Even though this post was not made in the twilight hours, I definitely have the credentials to join the society as a large portion of my posts are made after midnight in every time zone! :angel:

[CynJon]

I've got an unfair advantage...;)

Actually, it works to my advantage sometimes. When Apex and Leon and gang post the next day's deals, it's usually still evening here and I can usually get in on them before most of the "mainland" folks wake up...Of course, this only applies to those who sleep at NIGHT...:sleep:

[Kevster]

I'm just a night owl anyway - count me in :wavey:

[coleslaw]

I think I'm going to make a small "Midnight Society" banner for us night owls to put in our sigs. :cool:

[ray]

i'm game. i apologize for posting at 1:19 in the afternoon though. did i just break a rule?

[tweeteresa]

so what's our first order of business? :D

[ray]

let's lay down some ground rules...the first rule is you must post between midnight and 6am local time!

[Jenny]

I'm in. :) Been staying up til at least 3am every morning. Usually 4 or 5. The other night, I was up til 6am the next morning and 8am the morning after that. :D

[Ladogaboy]

Second Rule: Nobody talks about Midnight Society. :shifty:

[revil]

Third Rule: Profit?

[zenbooty]

I hate cliques. I'll post whatever whenever. So count me out.

[Jenny]

:wavey:

1am

actually contemplating staying up all night. Leaving for Garden in 7 hours (gotta make it there by 1:45 for my FF draft!), so I would only get 5 1/2 hrs sleep anyway...

[ski]

hi Jenny! :wavey: 2:30 AM EST

good luck on your trip... I'd be headed down to my new apartment for 5.5 hours tomorrow, but my parents suckered me into extending my visit to include the weekend :)

anyway, keep it rollin'!

[ray]

12:15am. friend just got here. leaving. have a good night everyone!

[slaus]

I'll actually be able to participate in the FF draft today. BTW, its 3:20am.

[Ladogaboy]

[revil]

edit: whoops, it's already past 6. damnit, why can't i sleep?

[ray]

Maybe GAM can set up our own boards!.....{wishful thinking}

I can set one up on my boards if there will be active participation. If not, I guess we could keep replying to this thread :p

[slaus]

It's 2:28 right now and I'm waiting for my gf to get off the damn phone with her aunt. Anyone else ever talk to their aunt on the phone for 2 hours?

The words have been drained from this pencil
Sweet words that I want to give you
And I cant sleep, I need to tell you... goodnight

When we’re together I fell perfect
When I’m pulled away from you I fall apart
All that you say is sacred to me
Your eyes are so blue, I can’t look away
As we lay in the stillness you whisper to me

Lady, marry me, promise you’ll stay with me
Oh you don’t have to ask me
You know you’re all that I live for
You know I’d die just to hold you, stay with you
Somehow I’ll show you that you are my night sky
I’ve always been right behind you
Now I’ll always be right beside you

So many nights I’ve cried myself to sleep
Now that you love me I love myself
I never thought I would say that
I never thought there’d be you


early night for me all. goodnight.

[RoniMan]

i guess i'm in too. i'm usually up at this time b/c i wait for my gf to come home from work.

by the way, part of the rules isn't that you can ONLY post at these times, is it?

[slaus]

Yeah it only counts if you post between 12am to 6am your local time. Time for me to sleep sinces it 4:15 and I have to drive 1.5 hours tomorrow to pick up my brother in Philadelphia.

[tweeteresa]

i just got home. i hadda bust the window to my bathroom so i can climb through the window too. my house key fell off in my friend's car. ugh. :(

anyhow....hi fellow night owls. :)

[revil]

i'm cleaning house.... I just threw away a buch of rotting **** in my fridge... i don't think it's keeping the temp right. :(

time to clean up the rest of the house. going to the beach tommorrow for a while. maybe a week or so.

[Ladogaboy]

Heh, I just realized a technicality... according to G|A? time, it is still before 6AM. :P

Oh, well, I'm off to the races...

[Jenny]

*yawn* Got home a couple of hours ago and have been working on avatars for my new board for The OC. Tired but have to wait up for a friend to get online in a couple of hours... So, here I am, posting after midnight :)

[Memo]

[Ladogaboy]

Ugh... can't sleep. :(

[Jenny]

Ok, it is only 12:15 but I am up. :) Tired though. I think I should probably go to bed soon... :(

[ray]

couldn't sleep. bah. anyway, i'mma go eat breakfast i guess :)

[tweeteresa]

its 5:03. i haven't slept. 4.5 hours of class in about 5 hours. then off to find a bridal shower gift. then drive from LA to Riverside in TRAFFIC for the bridal shower. then come back and study. weeeeeeeee. :(

Wow, two of my favorite bands. Hey, do you know the release date for Hail to the Thief?

EDIT:
oh, and wheeeeeee! 4:50am and i'm still awake! wheeeeee!

[slaus]

How long does it take you guys to sleep once you do put your head on the pillow?

[Jenny]

Depends on how tired I am. Sometimes, I don't remember anything, which means I fell asleep within a couple of minutes. Others, like tonight, I lay down and 20 minutes later, had to get up because I was just tossing & turning. heh

[DankNstickY]

it'll take me like 10 or 15 mins to fall asleep. thats how long its been taking lately.

[Freelance Superhero]

see, i don't like trying to force myself to sleep when i'm not tired, because i've literally tossed and turned in bed for 2 to 3 hours.

but usually, when i do go to bed and i'm tired, it takes me less than 10 minutes, and i'm OUT.

[revil]

usually anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour. if i'm extreamly tired, as in the body doesn't work properly anymore from sleep deprivation, around 5 to 10 minutes.

[InfiniteNothing]

We should have a midnight rank (Posts made after midnight and before 6)

[Jenny]

4.50am and I am finally heading off to bed again to try and sleep. think I can now. :) g'night all

[Kevster]

I'm currently working with some support engineers in London - I love those days where I put in 10 then sleep 4 hours so I can do another 8-10 on a night shift. I started nodding off at the keyboard and I still have another 4 hours to go - and my in-laws show up at 9am for 4 days! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[tweeteresa]

i realized today what i should major in: procrastinology. yep...i'm the best at it. :D

i have a midterm, quiz, and paper due 2morrow. guess what time i started studying? 11pm. i hadda go to dennys (to get away from the distractions of my apt -- mainly the daym computer). 6 hours of being productive though. not bad. now to start on my paper..... :hmm:

[kimchicowboy]

doh. just missed the 6AM cutoff. i'm gonna watch spykids 3D tonight. my friend's name is in the credits as a technical director. haha.

[Ladogaboy]

Well, thanks to the G|A? time glitch, I'm in again. :P

Nope, they went to some outside patio and 1 actually fell asleep. so sad...a few days ago they were telling me i wouldn't be able to keep up with them because they're "wild"

I was at Century Club. Basically it was asian night (oh yay [sarcasm]) and I thought I would humor my friends by going. Since the DJs were playing my kind of music, i actually wanted to dance a little bit.

century club sux this weekend. it use to be so much better.

highlands is fun. that might be my new club now.

white lotus is a lil bit of an older crowd. i didn't like the crowd. seems a bit...arrogant and standoffish.

any other clubs u guys need a review on? ;)

[ray]

older crowd, eh? Seeing that all my new friends in Los Angeles are on the average about 5 years older than me, i think i might enjoy White Lotus more than other clubs. :) I just seem to get along better with older people.

I really do want to sleep but I cant. Sleeping any other time of the day isnt a problem until I try to go to sleep at night. Its causing going to school during the week to be a pain.

Ok i had reinstall my os and so here I am. Tired and ready to call it a night.

joke of the day (errr nite):

A psychiatrist was conducting a group therapy session with four young mothers and their small children. "You all have obsessions," he observed.

To the first mother, Mary, he said, "You are obsessed with eating. You've even named your daughter Candy".

He turned to the second Mom, Ann: "Your obsession is with money. Again, it manifests itself in your child's name, Penny".

He turns to the third Mom, Joyce: "Your obsession is alcohol. This too manifests itself in your child's name, Brandy".

At this point, the fourth mother, Kathy, gets up, takes her little boy by the hand and whispers. "Come on, Dick, we're leaving."

Update on my weekend. Sunday morning my bro and me drove down to San Diego to watch the Chargers get their ass kicked once again. We then drove over to a sports bar out on Mission Bay overlooking the Pacific and watched the Sunday night football game (Buffalo vs. Miami) while we ate greasy fried foods and drank beer.

This morning/afternoon we went over to the San Diego Zoo and saw all them cool animals. Let me tell you, the Pandas, Polar Bears and Apes are AWESOME. I should have pictures developed in the next few days, so I'll post a link when i get them back. Stupid me forgot to bring both my digital camera and my good 35mm camera to San Diego...so i ended up taking all the photos with a 3-year old elph LT 35mm camera. I really hope the pictures came out.

After arriving back in LA around 5pm, we went over to El Torito with my roommate and his friend for our routine Margarita Monday and ate cheap food, drank margaritas and watched the Monday Night Football game (Oakland vs. Denver).

All in all it was a fun and productive weekend. I'm not sure what my bro and me are going to do Tuesday...maybe hit up the beach, grab dinner in Venice at C&O Trattoria (awesome Italian food).

Wednesday i'll be dropping off my bro at the airport then i'll be heading to my former employer's to do some tech stuff since my (old) boss is on vacation. The CFO called me and told me to just come in, fix things, and give him a "rate" and he'll pay me. I guess the company's standard consultant rate is more than reasonable: $2,250/week assuming 56 hours...so that's...$40/hour. I think that's fair :)

That's not such a bad idea...but since I would be doing some tech consulting, I think I should charge the same rate that the other tech consultants charge.....$275/hour :)

[Kevster]

When I consult the hourly rate I charge varies - $100/hr for basic cabling/infrastructure stuff, $150 for Cabling RFP proposal consulting, $250 for Network Engineering ($250 for the first 2 hours, then $250 for each additional hour), $400 if I have to do C-10 electrical engineering where I have to put my PE stamp on it (I rarely do this - usually that is just plan review and doesn't take more than a couple of hours). I must say it's nice having good contacts in the industry here in So. Cal. (just tough to maintain sometimes - especially at Christmas)

1) The public library is only 2 blocks from where I work. It will probably be in my lunch-time routine from now on.

2) One of the mantras that my college football team used to chant before games is actually a Helen Keller quote... I didn't know the origins prior to today. "I am only one, but still I am one. I can't do everything, but still I can do something. I will not refuse to do the something that I can do." That was immediately followed by grrr's and grunts and the pounding of chests. So Helen Keller like. :shifty:

3) My feelings for my ex have hit neutral. I would still like to pursue a friendship, but we'll see about that in the next year or so. :P

4) ALL comic book store owners really do look like that guy from the Simpsons.

5) There was a new traffic law passed in California. Vehicles that are making a left turn through an intersection now have priority over pedestrians in the crosswalk. Apparently, it is on the books now, or, at least, so I've been told.

6) If your life gets so piled up with sh1t that you can't even see the horizon, just lean back and laugh. Hell, it's all you can do.

7) I also found out that, sometimes, friends can actually be more supportive and trusting than family. :(

8) Cute girls really DO hang out at crosswalks and wait for you to press the button for them.

Anyone see that movie Serendipity with John Cusack and KATE BECKINSDALE? I got a Kate fix after seeing Underworld this week, and out of the movies my friend had (don't question her picks :heh: ) :

CF finishes up his job and i'm starting my new one in less than 36 hours. I actually can't wait to get back in the grind. I've been pretty much bored out of my mind the past 2 weeks. Everybody I know is 1) working 2) back in school or 3) too poor to go somewhere with me. My brother came to visit for 4.5 days, which was nice...I have to admit that I do miss working and I miss my old colleagues. I did get to take a few of them out to lunch courtesy of the company =D It's great when they called me back to take care of a few tech issues (which wasn't even my freaking job there) and I billed them for lunch for 5 of us that day. Haha. A lot of people told me to bill higher rates, but this company treated me very well and I wasn't about to take advantage of them. I consider many people there my friends and I do intend to keep in touch with everyone in their Los Angeles office (about 60 people).

Otherwise, I have another Sunday of peace and relaxation, watching football, eating junk food, playing video games, watching movies. Come Monday, I'll be head-to-head with company politics and the corporate ladder. Yiippeeee! I'm so excited!

Wow... I should be asleep right now. I had a three or so hour IM chat with my ex today, and it went a lot better than I thought it was going to. Basically, we were able to catch up. I apologized for some things I had said. She admitted to having been a little placative.

All in all, I thing we might be able to get through this with our frienship intact. She said that she wanted to start things with a clean slate--not just with me but other issues in her life as well. It is weird, though, to talk to her as just a friend, but I am still happy with the way things are turning out.

Because they have usually been hurt in the past. That is one of the biggest reasons that I have become self ridiculing in certain circumstances. Once I draw attention to myself, others are more likely to open up.

[RoniMan]

like ladogaboy said, previous hurt conditions us to defend ourselves when it's possible we're gonna get hurt.

it's surprising how many people are insecure with who they are inside. it's very sad too. but if people will just look inside, and be happy with who they are, the world would probably be a much different place.

[Ladogaboy]

Have any of you ever looked back over a period of your life and felt as though another person lived it instead of you?

Right now, I feel like I am not the person who walked the path to get where I am today, but everyone seems to think that he and I are the same. :(
