Amusing an Insomniac - 6/21/2008 12:14:43 AM

Plenty of P/pl seem to suffer from insomnia.

Here's some ideas as to how to occupy all that time Y/you wish Y/you were sleeping.

* Wash Y/yr bedcothes. WTF, Y/yr not in bed anyway...and when Y/you finally do get some rest, clean sheets and blankets will be more comfortable.

* Do some personal business. Many companies and government agencies have 24 hour toll-free customer service lines. 3am is a great time to call Social Security, for example. During the day it's almost impossible to get through.

* Read a book.

* Play with the 'net.

* Write letters -- on paper, in long hand -- to your best friend. There's just nothing like a real letter that arrves by mail.

* Send Y/yr F/friends funny/sexy/pervy e-cards.

* Check Y/yr bank account; read all those notices the bank sends (usually about rising fees); pay Y/yr bills online.

* Do a bit of housekeeping. Y/you might not be up to cleaning a whole room, but Y/you can wash the bathroom sink or throw away some clutter.

* Send 'i love you' type emails to the P/pl Y/you love. Make them fancy; use the options for special backgrounds and such.

* Play with Y/yr personal web site or blog, if Y/you have one. Change the look of it; upload a new main pcture; send a 'friend' a comment.

* Delete all the spam that's accumulated in Y/yr hotmail account, etc.

* Run Y/yr spyware program.

* Watch one of the shopping channels; it's almost hypnotic how the hosts enthuse about the weirdest of products. Kinda funny.

A/anyone else have any ideas?

My cleaning lady does that... I cant cut into her job, thats too much like manual work.

* Do some personal business. Many companies and government agencies have 24 hour toll-free customer service lines. 3am is a great time to call Social Security, for example. During the day it's almost impossible to get through.

I have called social security like once in the preceeding 13 years, and they told me I had to come into the office to get a new card LOL

* Read a book.

I read Stephen King... 1400 pages later it will be 3 o'clock the next afternoon and Ill be scared shitless if I so much as sniffle or heard about a car crash at a gas station anywhere in East Texas. I don't think Id ever sleep again.

* Play with the 'net.

* Write letters -- on paper, in long hand -- to your best friend. There's just nothing like a real letter that arrves by mail.
My best friend I see 4 times a week, sending her long letters would creep her out and give her the wrong idea! (Im also not 100% sure she actually knows how to read! LOL)

* Send Y/yr F/friends funny/sexy/pervy e-cards.

Yes God knows we all just love getting all those "forwards" and "send this to the next 23 people within 23 minute or your penis will grow feet and run off e-mail. Plus I can never see too many pictures of a wet cat sitting in a tree with the "Hang in there" caption, That didnt get old the first 41,000 times I saw it. LOL

* Check Y/yr bank account; read all those notices the bank sends (usually about rising fees); pay Y/yr bills online.

I generally know what my bank balances are, I dont get those notices, and my bills are paid online automatically. Most things - car insurances, car payments, vonage, cell phones, DirectTV internet etc are actually aitomatically charged to a credit card so I get 1% cash back on it.

* Do a bit of housekeeping. Y/you might not be up to cleaning a whole room, but Y/you can wash the bathroom sink or throw away some clutter.

Why would I do the housekeepers job? The robots (roomba, scooba, dirt dog, and Automower) do the bulk of the work and the housekeeper comes twice a week.

* Send 'i love you' type emails to the P/pl Y/you love. Make them fancy; use the options for special backgrounds and such.

Yes, flowery e-mails are so welcome and most of us love so many people...

* Play with Y/yr personal web site or blog, if Y/you have one. Change the look of it; upload a new main pcture; send a 'friend' a comment.

Oh yeah! Nothing like a 40 year old man with a MySpace page.... Hmmm wait that site is full of nimble 18 and 19 year olds maybe that aint such a bad idea LOL I think I will instruct my web designers to build me the coolest MySpace page ever on Monday!

* Delete all the spam that's accumulated in Y/yr hotmail account, etc.

Who has hotmail? LOL I use real e-mail and the spam is deleted automatically.

* Run Y/yr spyware program.

Automatically done twice a day, along with virus scan and backup on all of my home and office computers, even the network server. "Cron" is a wonderful command....

* Watch one of the shopping channels; it's almost hypnotic how the hosts enthuse about the weirdest of products. Kinda funny.

Yes so I can buy overpriced shit for more than I would pay for it elsewhere... Just like the Margarittaville Frozen Concoction Maker that is $70 more on the infomercial than at the store??

A/anyone else have any ideas?

pinksugarsub

Ideas? Hmmmm how about getting a scrip for Ambien??? Or having a couple of Margarittas?

Going anywhere near a computer in the throws of an episode of insomnia is one of the surest ways to stay awake. I speak as an expert.

I'm a chronic insomniac and I always have been. I have a very hard time shutting my brain off when I need to sleep. I'll often cook an entire meal at 2 or 3 in the morning, than put it in the fridge for supper. A lot of dishes taste better once they've cooled off over night. I love to go grocery shopping around that time too.

I do sit on the computer a lot when I can't sleep. I used to have the television on as well, but I took it out of the room I have the computer in. I hardly watch it now. I mainly watch television when I am eating. I read probably 15-20 different newspapers online, and I look up obscure topics habitually. I spent two hours reading about different types of paper the other night. Last week I read an article about Britian's problem with North American grey squirrels, so I started reading about invasive species all over the world. I probably spent 4 hours doing that before I realized what time it was. (LOL I didn't know Europe had our raccoons.)

I also discovered last year all the different sites you can watch movies free on. So I will search out old, obscure movies I haven't seen in a long time. Occasionally I'll play a game, but I am not much of a gamer.

Slaveboy, while we generally disagree on some issues I like you and think youre a cool enough dude so please take this in the spirit of friendship....

GO TO YOUR NEAREST HOOTERS, FIND A CHICK IN ORANGE SHORTS, AND BANG HER TILL YOUR DICK FALLS OFF!

Reading up on North American Grey Squirrels in England? Hell I wouldnt give a crap if a Grey Squirell ran up the queens cooter. (In fact if one did maybe she wouldnt be such a shrew! LOL)

Im with ya on the old movies though! I have built up the ultimate DVD collection, many of them at $5 or less by shopping Walmart at 3am...

LOL, slaveboy, I think you're cool too but D.A.'s right, you need to dip the wick once in a while.
Unless you plan on going on Jeopardy during "Squirrel Week" or you're a biologist all that info *probably* isn't going to do you much good.
The next time you can't sleep look in the Yellow Pages under "Escorts" and spend some money, fuck the living shit out of some young, pretty, college girl for an hour or so!
Or, watch one of Obama's speeches! Over and over again!
You'll fall into such a deep sleep you'll piss your pants!

We don't have a Hooters DA. I have a low tolerance for stupid girls anyway. We do have a couple of strip clubs, but they ain't exactly quality joints. Anytime you and Popeye want to see the nastiest women you've ever seen, you give me a buzz and plan a trip. I'll take you to some true, redneck, Arkansas strip clubs. You ain't lived until you've been in a sleazy strip club with a bunch of drunken hillbillies.

They're not allowed to sell alcohol in them here, so it's BYOB. The only reason I ever went into places like that in my twenties was to get rip-roaring drunk on the cheap with my buddies. We would actually have contests to see who could get us thrown out or into a fight first. If you guys like to fight, c'mon up. Hell, the boys that come out of the hills here on the weekends to party don't consider it good weekend if they don't have stiches to show the kin folk on Monday.

As for escort agencies here Popeye, OMG! I've seen some of the women that work for them here. You couldn't pay me to fuck a toothless, meth addict covered head to toe in jailhouse tats. So I sure as hell ain't going to fork out $300 minimum for the privilige. There isn't enough whiskey in the world. Good looking women that one take a stab at whoring, don't stick around in small towns in Arkansas.

I do actually meet women from time to time fellows. So don't worry about me. I'm doing okay, but thanks for the concern.

I always get into my most intense cleaning moods around 3 in the morning. My mom used to always know when I wasn't sleeping because my room would magically get spotless... now that I have an apartment of my own, it's usually the kitchen and the bathroom that are my victims.

I like the letter suggestion, though lately I've been writing to my mom in french, trying to keep it up over the summer. My best friend might think it's silly, since I live with him.

My friends usually the most comments from me on lj when I'm pacing around at night, those hours go by soooo slowly... oftentimes I'll make a comment, read it a few hours later, delete it and rewrite it differently, comforted by the fact that they're most likely asleep and won't read it until the morning.

I tend to refresh threads a little too often when not able to sleep, seeming desperate for someone to comment after me.
