WHY is it that I'm more awake, more effective, when I've had less than 4 hours sleep?
Between 5-8 hours, and I'm toast. Over or under baby...that's how I work.

Ah well, it was worth it. Much needed time spent with friends.
Now back to my regularly scheduled asstastic life.

I work both jobs today. Go me.
I have yet to go to AA. Go me.
I have to go early tomorrow morning because I have group in the evening and I know Mr. Fabulous will ask me "sooo, how is AA". To which I will say, "It sucks royal ass". Go fuckin' me.
I'm worried about money+going to Vegas this weekend, yet I'm still going. Go me.
I've barely started my community service. Go me.
I have so many things to take care of, I can't stop my head from spinning.
Go. Me.

Mike was going to get me a role in the new Vines video, but he came in and saw I had normal hair. I KNEW I SHOULDN'T HAVE MADE IT NORMAL. Ah well. I'm too busy anyway.

I'm always on my break when famoose people come into the bookstore. Saturday it was Bette Midler. Heheh, and apparently little Elijah Wood has a wee crush on one of our employees. (that was for you spasmolytic ;)

I wish I could go to Vegas this weekend. :(

Have fun for me.

(I'm similar on the sleep thing, only for me, it's between 4 and 6 hours.)

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

THAT IS POOP, YO!
I will have 2x the fun, some for you.

dookie.

Re:

[ex-sia857.livejournal.com]

I want to go just for the excuse to road-trip if nothing else, but sigh. Another time.

I MISS ALL THE FUN!

[rainstories.livejournal.com]

just go! you can share a room with a jill.
DO IT!

Re:

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

You're assuming quite a bit here.

Not that I wouldn't share a room with the lovely Sia, but that I'm not sure I'm going to get a room. At this point, I'm not sure if I'm going anymore.

[buscemi.livejournal.com]

Gah. Here I was all excited for you. Lo siento.

Re:

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

ah yes, but if I don't go...which I'm pretty sure I'm not, I will have a GLORIOUS 3-day weekend. Can you believe it, A THREE MOTHA-FUCKIN' DAY WEEKEND?!

Woot!

[buscemi.livejournal.com]

I have one of those 3-day weekends, too. \m/

Ooh! Those are nifty glasses in that pic.

Sleep:
I have a boring theory on that; I developed it while playing video games (bad sign). When we perform any action, we are also thinking about a mulititude of other things. As I type now, I am thinking of how much laptop keyboards suck, drinking more coffee, sending a letter to my grandmother, etc. We try to process tons of imformation at once. However, when we are tired (but not exhausted), I think that we concentrate more directly and efficiently on the task at hand because we are too tired to process the external distractions.

THANKS!

This is probably true. I am also thinking that after 3 hours sleep, your brain shuts off, goes into deep sleep, and that is why any more will make you groggy...until you've reached the 7 or 8 hour mark I'm guessing.

Re:

[iamwells.livejournal.com]

Ah! On the scientific end, that is officially true. The first REM takes three hours to reach, then each on after that takes two hours. Researchers suppose that we feel better when we awake during mid-REM because we awake in a state of high mental activity, like when we awaken form a dream. I don't know how much clout that has, but I do try to sleep for 4, 6, or 8 hours just in case.

Hmmmmm.

Interesting. I always feel _more_ like crap when I wake up during REM/dreaming. I never quite lose the sense that I'm dreaming for the rest of the day, and it puts me off.

They also say that different people need different amounts of sleep, but that it will always be in 90-minute increments because that's the average length of the REM cycle. So three hours is two full cycles, seven and a half hours is five cycles, and nine is six cycles. Most people need the seven and a half hours. Some do better with six, some with nine.

Another recent study thing said that the last hour of sleep appears to be the most important. That is apparently the time when your brain finishes its reshufflings and puts everything neatly away so that you can wake up happy and rested. So basically every poor fucker who has an alarm clock is getting screwed every time it wakes them up. Explains a lot about mornings, for me.

ack. this was too long. gotta catch that bus.

--apologies, rueyeet

Ack.

At least you have something to look forward to this weekend.

If it were up to me, you'd be in the video. :)

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

The only logical answer is that you need to direct more videos. Now get to it. Chop-chop!

Bling bling

I need to get more $ from the record company to pay for all the dancin' ho's.

[spasmolytic.livejournal.com]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhh!

He is so scary!

He lives too close to you! I fear for your life!

[iamwells.livejournal.com]

Truly. Anyone who can pass for a hobbit can't be too safe.

Re:

[spasmolytic.livejournal.com]

And those eyes!

They're not human!

[iamwells.livejournal.com]

Rawr! I'll swallow yer friggin soul! RaAaawWWWrrrRRaAGHHHhF!!

Re:

oh daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn.

Re:

OMG! I THINK I SEE HIM OUTSIDE MY WINDOW!

Re:

Haha

OH SHIT!

[esotericainblue.livejournal.com]

sleep in increments of 3 hours. Read this somewhere once or twice. Has something to do with cycles that occur every 3 hours and if you go over, that causes the grogginess. Sleep 4-5 hours? will feel shitty. Sleep 3 hours? perfect.

I read that as

[haddob.livejournal.com]

"sleep in excrement for 3 hours"

Maybe it helps keep the skin firm?

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

Now that's what I call recycling.

Re:

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

aaaaaah, it all makes sense now. Though I'd prefer a nice, don't-have-to-be-somewhere, 10 hour sleep, 3 hours does seem to do the trick. I'm falling asleep amidst my many caffeinated products, but at least I know what I'm doing.

thanks!

I thought he was dating Franke Potente?

[catnamedcosette.livejournal.com]

Which Mike? Mike Beahm? What does he have to do with the Vines? You should offer to change your hair color since you were thinking about it anyway.

could be.

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

1. Yes, Mike Beahm.
2. I have no idea. He just said he told someone who is casting it that he knew someone with blue hair.
3. Nope. I'm giving it a break. Bleaching it right now would be poop. No matter how much I want to.
4. John just told me that he used to follow Emily around like a puppy, asking her questions about various books.
5. your mom.

Re: could be.

4. John just told me that he used to follow Emily around like a puppy, asking her questions about various books.

Huh? Which John? Which Emily? What books? Huh?

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

freeeeeeeeeeeak.

[catnamedcosette.livejournal.com]

Doooooooooooooooooooood. I'm see-ree-us. Why? Were you joking? *scratches head*

Re:

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

No. John, as in John-your-friend-John-who-works-at-the-bookstore.
Emily as in Emily who works at the bookstore.
Books as in, I-have-no-idea-which-specific-books.

[catnamedcosette.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well, that's what I thought, but I don't think I know Emily so I thought of "our Emily" and thus got confused because John never met her.

If John's working tonight, will you tell him hi and I miss him? And give him a big, wet, slobbery kiss for me? Or, at least a hug? :)

Re:

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

I will tell him you miss him and the hug is possible. You'll have to give him a slobbery kiss in person. ;)

[catnamedcosette.livejournal.com]

Ah, you don't have to give him a hug. Just tell him I miss him! Thank you!!!! :)
