I wonder how people in, say, Sweden, deal with 6 months of 24 hour sunlight?

Ohhh, it is bad news bears... My dreams are already set to alien invasion/ _______ apocalypse by default. If I fall asleep watching some dumb bro flick, it is all kinds of terrible.

Nope, not the country side (just the ‘burbs) though, I’m not *quite* as sensitive to sound once I finally nod off. Depends on what stage of sleep I’m in. I do keep a set of earplugs by my bed, though most nights I don’t need them. Thankfully all of the dogs owned by my immediate neighbors sleep indoors, so unless my…

the people are lots of fun! It’s why I come back all the time :)

Hahaha, I’m lost too

I know ;)

There is hardy a worse feeling than that after a break-in, as a woman. I’ve been there, and if there’s anything we as the Jez commentariat can do, you know you have friends around.

I’ve heard that, just sometimes you get wrapped up in your cocoon of misery and self pity. *shrug* I’ll make sure I’ll give Willow a Howdy!

Ummm. well you see, I never do the whole “predicting the death thing”...

oh God is that why I can’t sleep!?!? I’m usually SUCH a good sleeper within my natural schedule.

I sleep with the lights on too. I have DSPS, a circadian rhythm disorder (Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome), and it’s physically impossible for me to keep an 11 to 7 type “normal” sleep schedule. On my natural sleep cycle, 3am to 11am, I fall asleep instantly, sleep deeply for 8 hours and 20 minutes, and wake up without…

I'm on the downside- I get maybe 2 or 3 a night now instead of every 30 minutes. If I wore a big robe I'd fucking kill someone from the heat rushing to my head. The worst is when it hits you at work and you're just trying to hold it together and not be one of those middle aged women flapping her hands around!

Yeah, I just picked some songs I like that are kind of chill for the wee hours.

It’s okay, I didn’t think you were. But fuck all these shitty weeks!!!

Sorry, I wasn’t trying to make it some sort of contest. I think lots of us had fucking shitty weeks.

I am... I really am ;)

So I saw a couple of pachinko places in Akihabara. I got to tell you, Yoko, didn’t see the appeal.

Super exciting!!!

Oh, okay, that makes a lot of sense. I’m still the bad friend who hasn’t been bringing gifts to casual get-togethers, though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

To the first LW, just say, “Hey, it sounds like you’re driving, so I’m going to let you focus on the road. Call me later when you’re at home.” If she only wants to talk to you for her entertainment while she's on the road, then she's a shitty friend and you don't need her.
