Evening.

What's everyone up to on this freezing night?

I really need to get myself a day job, instead of nights!

I am house sitting. Supposed to be sleeping but can't. Waiting for an important phone call sometime between now and four am.

It certainly is getting cold - we've got freezing fog here at the moment

Hope your call arrives soon so you can get some shut eye.

I've finished work at 22:00 - browsed the net, had a few coffee's and watched The Walking Dead. Bed time shortly for me, last shift tomorrow (later today) though then off for two.

Walked to the shops earlier. I love the feel of nights like tonight.

Can't sleep been on nights for a week. Finished Sunday morning at 7am and now have this week off and I can't sleep and allready missed doing anything today.

I'm quite tired now, but my mind just isn't turning off for sleep, reckon it'll be a long night.

Meh, it has been raining here in Auckland on and off so far today. It is warmish though which is nice.
I suppose I better go do some work

watching episodes of fringe, a wee bit addicted

Last few days I've been up until about three reading clash of kings. Due to being in between work at the moment I've been sleeping until midday. My sleeping pattern is now so shifted that it's fine four and I'm not tired. I think I'll be waking up early today so I'm actually tired at a reasonable time tonight.

Been practising guitar with a mate till 2am and now just thinking about sleep.

Just finished my shift.

Why are you people awake?!

Seriously, why?

I mean... it's coming on 4am so 5am in 'real' money, why would you do this to yourself?

Unless you're in a different timezone, like Doctor Who. Is Magnolia The Doctor?

Watching Derren Brown: Apocalypse. What a load of fake old tosh.

Not only are you torturing yourself into staying awake, but you're also punishing yourself for doing it?

Is it basically hypnotism this guy does (supposedly)?

I was saying to my sister the other day how when that stage hypnotist knocked himself out, the 'participants' were probably sat thinking; "******* great, now we have to sit here until the knob end wakes up so we can be 'released'.

After which she told me she once went up on stage to be hypnotized, but was asked to leave for giggling at the poor attempts to hypnotize her.

I wonder has anyone here been hypnotized? But not wondering enough to search for or start a thread.

Is it as bad as first result on google makes it sound? If so.

So why are you awake?

I am awake as I work nights.

Natwee · 28 Oct 2012 at 04:23

not sure what the first result on google is, but yh, its pretty grim.
it has perioids where it seems to flare up, this being one of them, and its just constant heartburn and sick all night, and cant really eat more than a few bites a a time.

hopefully will be fixed soon though!

Lool, asked to leave. His stage stuff I like, but this is so blatently fake it's unreal. "Hidden cameras" that are shaking as if hand-held and following important limbs and whatnot. For example, he woke up on a hospital bed and looked down at his wrist. The camera zoomed into his awakening expression, then followed his eyes down to his wrist, and back up. It was so smooth and perfectly timed you can tell he was supposed to look quizically at the wrist band.
