...on the This is Thread Where I Say Part Whatever Thread because my browser for some reason loads it without the capability to post to it. I think it's all the images.

Anyway, I wanted to say that I did the opposite of sleeping in today. I fell asleep reading Superman comics last night sometime shortly after 11 and woke up TEN MINUTES after my alarm usually goes off (I stupidly never turn it back on until I go to bed). Luckily, I set my alarm with the snooze button in mind, allowing for two nine-minute respites for actually waking up (how fucking so-lazy-it-might-be-whatever-the-opposite-of-lazy is it that, I prepare for, MAKE ALLOWANCES FOR, my sloth). So I actually woke up EARLY and since I was already dressed, had a very relaxed and peaceful pre-work A.M.

I, um, have been known to set my alarm to allow myself a good hour, hour and a half of snooze button action.

Actually, just before you showed up, my alarm clock was set an hour fast. I had accidently set it ahead after a power outage like two months earlier, and upon discovering its inaccuracy the following morning, decided to leave it, allowing myself a bonus hour (like DST but DAILY, like I BEAT Proust, like hitting the snooze button five times is what passes for decadence in my hermitage) in nine-minute intervals.
It was such a private and personal indulgence (like masturbating, but for your subconscious!), that I didn't feel like explaining it to houseguests. But now I have no shame.

Hi, Huck. I think you're back on the other thread now, but anywho. I never hit the snooze button, but I do manage to stay in bed AN ENTIRE HOUR with my alarm still going off. See, it's a clock radio set to NPR.

I've got mine on the cock-rock station (one of their actual taglines is "testosteradio"!) so I'm usually pretty dang quick on that snooze bar.

Did you know that in DC Comics, Lex Luthor is Prez?

I used to have it on the community radio station, but the dipshit lefty chat show hosts made me so angry I couldn't take it anymore. (Especially since I generally agreed with them but they still came off as dipshits, argh!)

For a while I had it on financial news but that became too interesting and weird.

Now I've got it on a station that seems to be playing all Xmas songs, all the time. We'll see how long that lasts (my guess: another week or so).

I actually need two alarm clocks to help get me up. I always set them to where I can allow myself about five or ten minutes of bleary-eyed looking around and attempts to wake up before actually waking up. And unlike the rest of you, I set it to where I'm woken up by buzzing, not by a radio station, though Christmas songs sound like a lovely idea so I might just take your lead, Chris.

I hit snooze for no less than half an hour (well, okay 32 minutes since my fucking alarm clock goes off every 8 minutes) (then again, if it was a fucking alarm clock, I might stay in bed longer, this is way too much information, so I'm going to stop now and pretend it never happened).

I can't handle the snooze option. If I let myself start using that, there would be so many days when I didn't get to work at all. I can't afford it.

how many of us have fear as our biggest motivation for getting out of bed in the morning?

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 21:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I have a picture of the INSIDE of my stomach. Should I post it?

We have a tv in our room now. I get dressed to the news every day.

Also...I am limping at the moment. I hate limping. Everyone stares at you.

I am waiting for a movie camera to come in the post.

I am going to Chicago/Indiana next week.

I am off work tomorrow.

I didn't need an alarm clock this morning, cause I just couldn't sleep last night.

But I wrote a ton of stuff updating my diary, and I got to work half an hour early, which is good.

Nick forgot to reset the alarm for me this morning, but that meant I got in an extra 40 minutes of sleep. :-)

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 18 December 2003 14:43 (twenty-one years ago)

I got really drunk last night, and I may still be drunk now. I want to go back to bed.
But I got out of bed, and I fell.
But I haven't been out to a party in a long time, and now I remember why.
Too many cute girls.

Mann, shut your damn mouth.

Sorry, sudden burst of surly.

alarm clocks are evil.
