Insomniacs-R-Us!

[NeoDevin]

Who's "we"? :wink:

Wouldn't you like to know? :wink:

Naw, just me and my roommates, we went out for one of my roommates bdays last night.

[Sagitta]

Hay SDSalsa!

We need all the members we can get. There hasn't been much support for the IRU club recently!! We don't want to start throwing out the few active members that we have, such as Pygmailion!!

Checking in at 12:38 a.m. I had such a good night tonight dancing I'm dancing/ gambolling though the forums!! :D

[SDsalsaguy]

I wasn't considering throwing her out Sagitta, maybe just creating a sub-set of the IRU for her and her "type." :wink: :lol:

[SDsalsaguy]

Anyone else lurking about tonight :?:

[will35]

Yep.

[SDsalsaguy]

Phew, I was starting to thing I was going to be all alone tonight! :wink:

[MadamSamba]

In defence of my going to bed at 11:30pm, SD... :PPPPP

I had a reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally bad week at work and am usually up MUCH later dancing. Not much sleep in three days because of the pre-Christmas madness...I can't belive I'm defending myself in a public forum against the fact that 11:30 is too early to go to bed...sheesh...but, as you know, if "I'd let you go" a little sooner, it might have been MUCH earlier!!! :) he heheh

[SDsalsaguy]

but, as you know, if "I'd let you go" a little sooner, it might have been MUCH earlier!!!
I only have one thing to say to that MadamSamba. . . :tongue:

[SwinginBoo]

Time to get a new internet provider Jenn!! :) Or a different type of ineternet connection...

Especially if you are going to meet your goal of 26 posts per day. :wink: :tongue:

[d nice]

I'm here... which goes to prove my insanity.

As if three hours of hip hop was not enough I drove to SF and did some lindy hop and blues for three hours. I got about 1.5 hours sleep, before hitting Dickens fair and doing eight hours of victorian social ballroom, then went to two different lindy hop dances for a total of five hours I got about three hours sleep before goin g back to Dickens another eight hours of Vic ballroom. I drove back to Sacramento, only to dance 3.5 hours of lindy hop.

I think its bed time.

[pygmalion]

Oh! That sounds like a total blast. Enjoy your sleep. man. You deserve it. :D

[SDsalsaguy]

Now those are some serious IRU *and* dance adict credentials! :lol:

[pygmalion]

3:23 AM. No caffeine, and I'm still wide awake. Oh, what a life! :lol: :lol: Checking in.

[SDsalsaguy]

Welcome back to the IRU Jenn! :D And without caffeine at that!!! :banana:

[lindy jihad]

sooo, what do we all do here late at night when there is nothing to do?

[d nice]

Well in the old days I'd be on the bucket brigade putting out fires started by a certain "wolf in sheeps clothing".

These days I tend to check in and see if there is anthing that has cropped up since my afternoon check.

[SDsalsaguy]

Well, if nothing else we can always apreciate the relative peace and quiet rearely afforded to us during more typical waking hours! :D

[lindy jihad]

peace? there is never peace for a college student!
stupid finals..

[SDsalsaguy]

stupid finals..
Tell me about it! My students' finals are tomorrow . . . then comes the really miserable part . . . grading! :o :( :?

[lindy jihad]

yeah, i have a final wed., term paper to write by thursday, then yet another final paper to write by friday. suck.

[Sagitta]

Then it's all done and while the regular working joes go to work you goof off!! :( :)

[Swing Kitten]

Then it's all done and while the regular working joes go to work you goof off!! :( :)

not entirely my friend... there's planty of school work to do between the semesters and just because the time isn't ridgedly structured doesn't mean there's not work to do or that it's easy! In someways it's more difficult and requires a much stronger dedication. ;)

I had my grad review today and it went quite well actually YAY!! I have a final tomorrow morning that I need to finish preparing for (before and after dancing!) then it's just a matter of packing, tying up the loose ends, and getting on my plane... almost there! I'm so close I can almost taste it! sweet and salty!!

[Sarah]

stupid finals..
Tell me about it! My students' finals are tomorrow . . . then comes the really miserable part . . . grading! :o :( :?
What? You don't employ the dice of marking? Keep logs of statements of egregious stoopidity? Practice primal screaming? Any number of ways to entertain yourself while grading.;)

Cheers
Sarah

[Sagitta]

I'm just checking in! :)

Great Swingkitten!!! Is the grad review like an A exam, which qualifies you to do a PhD thesis? All the best on your final! :)

[Swing Kitten]

the grad review is something we have to go through at the end of each semester. We display all of our work for that term and the design faculty talk with you about it. This is also supposedly the final due date of our class work which adds a bit of pressure as well.

It can go smoothly but it can also go horribly. I've yet to have my review go poorly but I've had classmates who have... it's my goal not to experience this first hand.

[Sagitta]

Aha!! I know what you're talking about now. In architecture all the undergrad students have such a review at the end of the semester. The only difference is that it is usually is the classmates and the prof who critique, and it ends up being day-long affairs. :)

Am checking out as I need to get some sleep. First time I've done this sort of thing as this is the first semester at Cornell that I've really been into dance. I find all these dances every night and barely get any sleep. Danced Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday...tonight and there is another dance tomorrow. Need to catch some winks before I fall asleep on my feetszzzz....

[pygmalion]

I think I'm up for the day. That's two nights in a row. :shock: Uh oh! I'm back in the IRU full force.

[SDsalsaguy]

I'm back in the IRU full force.
Go Jenn, go Jenn . . . :D

[Danish Guy]

There are a lot of known users, but it is 4:30 in the morning on my clock.

Just setting my mark here at a IRU time, and saying hello :banana:

[Sarah]

There are a lot of known users, but it is 4:30 in the morning on my clock.


And 4:30 in the afternoon by mine :D . Happy IRU membership DG.

Thanks :D :D :D

Time to check out, so I'm not to trashed for work.

[Sagitta]

And now it is 1:17 a.m. for me.

[SDsalsaguy]

Checking in! :D About to start packing . . . in the morning I'm off to a ballroom comp for the weekend. Hope you all have an enjoyable weekend with lots of great dancing!!! :D :D :D

[d nice]

Of course I have another absolutely insane weekend. Hip Hop in Davis Friday, Blues in San Francisco Friday. Dickens in SF Saturday, Spotlight dance in Sacramento Saturday. Dickens in SF Sunday, Grad in Davis Sunday.

I'm not just burning the candle at both ends but in the middle as well.

I have no time of my own at all. Jeez, when did that happen. I went shopping at midnight yesterday just so I had some food in the house, because I haven't been able to find any other time to do it.

[lindy jihad]

hey dude, i'm coming back home in a few weeks, anything neato going down?

[SDsalsaguy]

Well, I forgot to go to bed last night so I'm not really sure if I should be posting here or in the ERC . . . anyway, I'm off to the airport shortly. Hope you all have a great weekend! :D

[Danish Guy]

03 signing in.

Hope SD can keep his eyes open on the ballroom event. I don’t plan on forgetting my bed tonight. :wink:

[pygmalion]

Hi John! :D :D :D

[Sagitta]

03 signing in.

03?!? :?

[Danish Guy]

03 signing in.

03?!? :?

:oops:

3 past midnight.

Now its 03:56, signing off

Time for bed :roll:

[danceguy]

11:30 pm here...anyone up in the IRU club? Naturally, when I'm up late Jon is not around to witness it. Actually, he's caught me online past 1 am before and told me I was staying up past my bedtime. The nerve! :P

Actually...I stayed up until 5 am the other day...that would have made him proud! :)

Ok...time to practice some Salsa basics and then to bed....

SG

[pygmalion]

Sorry, SG. I was sleeping peacefully. Where's good old SD when you need a middle of the night conversation? Oh well. Maybe tonight.

[Sagitta]

Checkin in at 12:10a.m. :) Just finished making chicken curry. Got to clean the pots and pans now!! :(

[pygmalion]

Checking in. Any IRU peeps in the house?

[Sagitta]

Me as always. About to head to be..zzzzz :)

[NeoDevin]

Well, the past 2 nights I've been up until 4:30 or 5, but didn't get online to sign in. It's now 2:40 and I'm going to bed.

[SDsalsaguy]

Where's good old SD when you need a middle of the night conversation?
Hello all . . . and, as noted earlier in this thread, I was in Las Vegas for the past four days. Lest anyone get too alarmed I stayed true to the IRU and went to bed around 4:00am each night. I probably could post an update in the ERC as well though, as I was getting up around 7:00am each morning as well! :shock: :cry: . . . thankfully I had the chance to catch at least a quick nap each afternoon.

It is now past 2:30am and I'm back home and back to my regular IRU routines . . . :wink:

[NeoDevin]

Well, ok, I said I was going to bed an hour and 20 minutes ago, but this time I mean it!

Devin out.

[pygmalion]

It's nice to have you back, SD! :D

[salsachinita]

Hey guys......just saying hello :D !

It's 12.30 midday. I will be off to the beach soon (as I did yesterday 8) )!

It's SOOOOO hot!

[lindy jihad]

i'll be up nice and late tonight...
LoTR!!
w00t.
i RULE

[SDsalsaguy]

Yup, I have a bunch of friends who'll be waiting in line to get in to the midnight showing. Personally I'll have to wait until next week to see it. Enjoy! :D

[Sagitta]

Still don't have time for movies yet!! :(

[danceguy]

7:00 pm, checking in. :)

I challenge all the IRU folks to a late night (morning) challenge! I'm heading out the door to go dancing (salsa!), then at 10 pm going to stand in line for 2 hours to catch Return of the King...so I anticipate I won't be home until sometime after 4 am....and I will make sure to check in.

See you all tomorrow! :)

SG

[Sagitta]

Okay, now what time are you getting up the next day and can you put in a full day's productive work? If you can do all that, sleeping less and still put in your time you have me beat!! It is almost two and I'm checking in after having a blast at the latin dance at Commonground. :D

[Sagitta]

Okay I'm going to get ready for bed and it's 3:38p.m. over here!!! :) You have me beat going to bed. You still have hours of sleep and hours of productive work left!! :)

[SDsalsaguy]

Only 1am here, so checking in but not yet "in the game." :wink:

[SDsalsaguy]

3:15am . . . not sure if I'm going to go to bed yet or not, but turning of the computer, so night-night DF! :D

[danceguy]

4:00 am - take that SDSalsaguy! Good time dancing...ROTK is AWESOME!!!!!!!

Sagitta - I have to get up at 9 am tomorrow...so a few hours of sleep is all I will get. :)

SG

[Sagitta]

So LOTR is really good?!? :o :roll: :) Must see the first ones before I see ROTK. Got up at 8:00a.m., did my morning exercises, and noe just quickly checking in... :)

[pygmalion]

This is the first time I'm missing the opening day for one of those films. Guess why? Dance lesson. Hmm. Maybe I can make it over to the theater tonight. I hope ROTK is better than the Two Towers. But either way, I'll be there for all three and a half hours.

[salsachinita]

4.30pm in the afternoon, hardly IRU hour!

But I went to bed at 4am this morning after waiting (literally for HOURS) for my usual 'Closing Show' with this fav lead of mine. I got my wish at 2.45am and we did two in a row with the whole club watching 8).

*btw, this is the 'snob' who dresses in gangsta style AND my all-time fav dance partner*

Now I'm off to bed for a nap. My bf will be playing tonight, so back to the showbiz........

[jenibelle]

Anyone up right now? Who wants to dance? :lol:
I'm bored!

What can one do at night when the rest of the fam is a-bed?

Any ideas? Cool websites? Mind games? ANYTHING!

Jeni :)

[lindy jihad]

oh man, that movie was so great.
best 3 1/2 hours of my life.

[SDsalsaguy]

Hmm, guess I'll actually have to get around to seeing it next week!

Things to do? Why read DF threads of course! :lol:

[pygmalion]

4:15 AM. Good night, DF!

[pygmalion]

Hmm. Back in the IRU club, big time! What's this? Four or five nights in a row? Gotta check my diet again. Either I'm ingesting too much caffeine, or the irresistable charm of my fellow IRU peeps just keeps waking me up in the middle of the night! :lol:

[SDsalsaguy]

the irresistable charm of my fellow IRU peeps just keeps waking me up in the middle of the night! :lol:
:oops: :oops: :oops:

. . . what can I say? :wink: :lol:

(See that's something that IRU peeps have! :D Poor ERC lackers . . . :tongue:)

[danceguy]

. . . what can I say?

(See that's something that IRU peeps have! Poor ERC lackers . . . )

And the ERC has people that can stay up later than the IRU folks! I don't recall any of you ever signing on at 5 am and saying "take that Scorpionguy!". And staying up until 5 am doesn't count either! :roll: :oops: :roll:

Pygmalion - you're killing the team here! I never see you around when I'm up late! I doubts its the charm of the IRU, most likely its just the caffiene. Of course, if you've been up due to excessive consumption of coffee beans, then I know we've got a guilty conspirator on our hands. :snake: :evil: :snake:

Hmm, I think I'm going to have to write a poem for the IRU peeps...keep an eye out for it later this evening....

SG
Proud founder, sole surviving member and most frequent rule breaker of the ERC

[SDsalsaguy]

And what ever happened to said (and promised) poem? See? An IRU person would still be up to get such things done! But an ERC member? Even Mr. ERC himself? Can't be counted on to even produce even what he volunteers! :roll: :roll: :roll: (:wink: :lol:)

Well, on an entirely different note, I w :D as out at my local salsa haunt earlier on and had a blast! I'd missed my salsa fix last weekend – National Rodeo celebration/convention (of all things! :shock:) in Vegas last weekend canceled the salsa club I go to when I'm there. :cry:

Had a great night tonight though. Got a bit crowded for my tastes, from about 11pm to 12am I’d say, but was fine before and after. Enough good dancers to get me my needed fix, and I tried out three new women as well (I make it a point to always try and dance with at least one new woman every night I’m out).

I guess I should probably try and get some sleep soon as I have to drive a friend and her husband to the airport in the :gasp: :shock: :horror: *morning*.

Night-night DF! :D

[NeoDevin]

Well, it's now 1:18 tomorrow afternoon, I guess this qualifies for the IRU. I'm going to bed.

[SDsalsaguy]

Well, it's now 1:18 tomorrow afternoon, I guess this qualifies for the IRU. I'm going to bed.
Now those be some mighty fine IRU credentials your sporting there Devin! :lol:

[NeoDevin]

Ok, it's 5:36, and I'm up, I wonder if this is good for the ERC?

Whatever, I'm going snowboarding.

[danceguy]

Ok, it's 5:36, and I'm up, I wonder if this is good for the ERC?


AM or PM? We may consider your application. However, to be a true member of the ERC, you have to break the rules when nobody is looking. :)

SG

[Sagitta]

Okay SG. I'll go out on a limb here and say that it is PM. That's what makes sense! Don't want you to get too excited, only to have your hopes dashed.

This is the latest I've been up in a while. 3:23p.m. EST. :)

[danceguy]

12:30 am - checking in. I'm in the middle of a fast so who needs to eat or sleep? :shock: :P :shock:

This is the latest I've been up in a while. 3:23p.m. EST.

Been at the coffee beans Sagitta? Naughty naughty! :tongue:

BTW - Your wish has been granted. :)

Sg

[Sagitta]

Why a fast?

No coffee beans for me. I did have tea at dinner tonight, but that's it. I don't need stimulants to keep me up. Just like I know I can wake up and attend mass at ten tomorrow. The forums are the only artificial stimulant that I need!! :)

[SDsalsaguy]

Coming up on 1am here. I'm home early from dancing as I caught an elbow to the head and have a nice bump developing by the minute... :(

I did have a good time prior to that however, so no complaints.

[danceguy]

Why a fast?

Because I don't like slows! Just kidding. :)

I usually do a 24 hour fast once a week, but its a total fast, no food or water. Not for the faint of heart, or without consulting ones doctor first. Its actually a health related practice without any religious signifigance though.

Yes I'm crazy, but I think you already knew that! :)

SG

[Sagitta]

Up late 16th/17th, then a few days later on the 20th/21st. Yeah just like we know that you are a closet IRU member. You want to join us. Admit it! This is where the action is!!

[danceguy]

Coming up on 1am here. I'm home early from dancing as I caught an elbow to the head and have a nice bump developing by the minute...

Sorry to hear that man...did you elbow them back?
:P
The first time I went Salsa dancing at a live concert the people on the floor were pretty boozed up. I had so many people crashing into me (the floor was PACKED)...ugh...its no wonder I waited many months before trying it again! :shock:

[Sagitta]

Yeah, and try doing sombrero with a beginner!! Ouch. That hand just gets caught in the wrong place and painful things can happen!

[danceguy]

Up late 16th/17th, then a few days later on the 20th/21st. Yeah just like we know that you are a closet IRU member. You want to join us. Admit it! This is where the action is!!
:tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue:

Oh, I'm actually caught in the act quite often...just ask SD! I stay up late quite a bit, I just rarely log in while doing so. Trust me - I can night owl with the best of them...just not as easy as when I was a bit younger. :oops:

By the way - I'm waiting for your guys rebuttal poem. :)

[SDsalsaguy]

No definitely not! … especially as it was my partner’s elbow. Her remark at the time was a classic though: “you hurt my elbow with your head!” :shock: :lol:

Seriously though, it was just one of those fluke occurrences. It happened to be a really fast song, but this is a partner I’ve probably done the same thing with several hundred times without even coming close to an accident. Oh well, guess I’ll just have to make friends with the nice bump that’ll be on my head for the next several days.

[Sagitta]

Really!! Just letting you know you might have to wait quite a while if it was up to me. That was never discussed. Now if SD wants to do something...

However, I'm feeling generous so a little poetic license given the early morning hours and the attempt at rhyming.

The poem now stands on it's own, proud of it's success!
No response to refute it.
The poor thing does not know, it's simply being ignored.
It's simply a bore! (Yawn)

or, perhaps, even better...since you want a response...

The poem stands on it's own, needy and demanding
As the members stand around smiling.
Let it whine they say,
As that poem is not going to get it's way.

[SDsalsaguy]

Some most unfortunate people as
It apparently seems to be,
Lack in worthwhile evening activities –
Lacking places to go/people to see.

Yet these folk do deserve pity,
ERC the name of this unfortunate bunch,
Regularly rising too early in the morning;
Inevitably having dinner when others are having lunch!

Can these poor souls be saved? Can they escape their vile ways?
Know that we will always have room for them
…when they finally escape the sun's morning rays.

[SDsalsaguy]

You've just got to love that the ode to the ERC ( :uplaugh: ) is the post that takes the IRU to 40 (!) pages! :lol:

[NeoDevin]

3:37 am, I'm going for a shower then to bed. And yes, that was 5 pm in my last post.

[SDsalsaguy]

3am now . . . think I may throw on a movie for a bit.

[SDsalsaguy]

Almost 5am now. Stupid Blockbuster! I got a used DVD from them and at least two of the scenes were so severely glitched that the movie stopped running all together!

Night-night Dance Forums! :D

[pygmalion]

I was up way in the middle of the night, too, but my computer is being consumed by ghastly viruses as we speak, so I didn't get to post much. Why does this keep happening to me? Have my forays into the wonderful world wide web irretrievable ruined my computer? Oh, what a life! :cry: :lol:

[danceguy]

You've just got to love that the ode to the ERC ( ) is the post that takes the IRU to 40 (!) pages!

Not too bad Jon, not too bad! You need to work on the flow of your rhyming though...its gotta be just like a song...yes indeed. :)

Hey - no poking too much fun at us early risers now...you should have seen my first draft before it was edited. :shock:

SG

[SDsalsaguy]

Umm, Erick? How long did we have to wait for your poem which you had volunteered as forthcoming? Ok . . . and then how long until mine was up at your prompting (and although never volunteered)? Nuff said! :wink: :lol:

[danceguy]

Yes I know, you wrote it impromptu...however as I was peacefully sleeping away I didn't see it until this morning, but I take your word for it. :)

Well, I didn't spent too long on my poem...I tried to write it several times during the day and nothing happened. You can't rush things like that...when it starts to flow...it just writes itself. Some of my best work and A+ papers in school were written in under 10 minutes without any preparation.

There's something to be said for being spontaneous sometimes. Of course it can also get you slapped too. :shock: :P :shock:

SG

P.S. Sagitta - where's your poem? Pygmalion? Swing Kitten? Get cracking! :)

[danceguy]

Salsa lifts my soul to see
Always to the music, I come to dance
Lady in my arms, I'm stuck in a trance
Sabor is a word I am beginning to learn
And the more I dance, the more I yearn

Called to the floor with the lights turned low
Anger leaves my heart like the waves on the shore
Love fills my body from earth to sky
I keep on dancing, and I don't know why
Each step to the clave, the light in the dark
Nothing can stop us now, for we play our part
Tomorrow is another day, for the moment is now
Enchanting is your beauty, the sweat on your brow.

There's an impromptu one for ya. :)

[SDsalsaguy]

Well, you cam keep your own brow sweat but, aside from that, not bad! :wink: :lol:

[Sagitta]

P.S. Sagitta - where's your poem? Pygmalion? Swing Kitten? Get cracking! :)

Now, now, you are not paying attention, are you?

You got an immediate response and it rhymed, what more do you want? Here it is again, with a couple modifications to personalize it:

The poem stands on it's own, needy and demanding
As Sagitta stands around smiling.
Let it whine he says,
As that poem is not going to get it's way.

[And here's another quick verse, to show that if you're not satisfied I'm always willing to help a friend.]

The IRU club is going strong.
We know what we got, and got what we want. :D 8)
The ERC club gasps - last breath - as it crawls along.
No one in IRU is quite sure what's going on. :?

[Swing Kitten]

P.S. Sagitta - where's your poem? Pygmalion? Swing Kitten? Get cracking! :)

:shock:

how did I get roped into this!? I'm a member of both clubs remember?

See how fickle SG can be? And he thought I only had coffee beans going for me! :wink: :lol:

[danceguy]

Now, now, you are not paying attention, are you?

Indeed I am Sagitta! Now, poetry is a very abstract art so it really shouldn't be judged, however I've seen so much of it that seems to be lacking something. My writing teachers would never have let me pass that off ...this isn't Haiku or anything! :shock:

You can't get away with writing such a small amount my friend..and remember to be nice! My first poem for the IRU was a little harsh so I toned it down (note - WAY down!), I'm trying to be funny, not mean!

As Monty Burns would say "Where's the heart?" Jonathan followed the style I presented to the book - and its ok if you wanna veer off on your own...but one small paragraph won't cut it!

how did I get roped into this!? I'm a member of both clubs remember?

The how does not matter, carina dulcita. The only thing to do is write a poem. Or two. Or even three! That goes for the rest of you as well! 8)

See how fickle SG can be? And he thought I only had coffee beans going for me!

Quiet you! :tongue: :tongue: :tongue:

No heart!! :oops: :( Saggita accepts the scolding. His pathetic woebegone figure would wring tears from a cryogenic heart!! First he was told that he had too much heart in real life, and now none in DF. :? Life is way too difficult! :cry: He needs the night to recover. He doubts if he will ever be the same again.

Namaste my friend you take me too seriously! I never said you have no heart...quite the contrary! I'd rather see you express yourself in a poem that isn't about our silly little clubs! :friend:

See the passion and emotions expressed in your last post? That's pure magic my friend - so if you are so moved - then channel it into some words. Something about dance would be nice - there surely isn't enough poetry about romance either...take the floor and make it yours!

I see a fine poet in the making here. :)

[Swing Kitten]

I think I can promise that my poetry will never make it to this site.

Now, poetry is a very abstract art so it really shouldn't be judged, however I've seen so much of it that seems to be lacking something. My writing teachers would never have let me pass that off ...this isn't Haiku or anything! :shock:


How about this: :wink:

Scan, beep, slash, slam, next -
life of a library clerk!
Over and over


haiku? or not?

[danceguy]

Hi Sagitta,

I'm a little rusty on my Haiku...hmm, but good ol Google says Haiku is a 5-7-5 syllable pattern, and yours is perfect! Way cool. :)

Do you work in a library? Let me try a few about my job....

Macintosh broken
In my hand is a hammer
Crash never again

Hard drive won't start up
No more OS X for you!
I laugh wickedly

I hate your laptop
Do you use to play soccer?
I no fix stupid

[danceguy]

I think I can promise that my poetry will never make it to this site.

Aww come on SK! Please share! :)

Pretty please with lots of flirting? :friend: :ladiesma: :friend:

SG

[danceguy]

I gotta do some more of these Haiku! Just too much fun! I'll make these about dance:

Slow, Slow, Quick, Quick, Slow
Jesus I am falling asleep
I'd rather Tango

I dress nice for dance
My best shoes are on my feet
But I stomp on yours

Partner I can't lead
Spins like a whirling dervish
Please song end real soon

[SDsalsaguy]

Several DF members lurking around this evening! :D

So, what are you all up to at this hour? Just got back from the gym myself.

[pygmalion]

I, for one, am being totally overwhelmed and impressed by the haiku stylings of certain DF members. :notworth: 8)

[Swing Kitten]

So, what are you all up to at this hour? Just got back from the gym myself.

I've been Christmas elfing... I like to think that I'm close to finished. I'm enjoying myself and all but I would like to be done. ... why can't I just buy all the gifts like a normal person? it's cold in the garage.

at any rate... I'm done for the night and I'll pick it back up tomorrow.

What's everyone else doing?

[SDsalsaguy]

Night night all. :kitty:

[danceguy]

11pm checking out! Gotta review my new dance steps and get some serious rest tonight! Because I NEVER log onto DF after 12 pm. :roll: :P :roll:

Hmm, where are the rest of the IRU folks? Y'all better be out dancing. :)

Erick

[Sagitta]

11pm checking out! Gotta review my new dance steps and get some serious rest tonight! Because I NEVER log onto DF after 12 pm. :roll: :P :roll:

Hmm, where are the rest of the IRU folks? Y'all better be out dancing. :)

Erick

Yup. Just back from dancing. Stopped at 1:15 as salsa songs decreased and hip hop etc increased. :(

[SDsalsaguy]

11pm checking out!
Um, SG . . . it doesn't count as an IRU check in until after minight at the least! Didn't you get the memo? Oh wait . . . that was only for real IRU members! :wink:

I NEVER log onto DF after 12 pm. :roll: :P :roll:
I'd ask you if you knew how full of it you are . . . if I didn't already know the answer! :tongue:


Hmm, where are the rest of the IRU folks? Y'all better be out dancing. :)

Again, it was actually a bit early for any *real* IRU members. It's 12:30am now. Didn't get any dancing in but just got back from the gym again.

What's everyone else up to tonight?

[Swing Kitten]

I'm about to head to bed.

my throat isn't sore anymore but my nose is compensating. I made a very large picture frame today... which I have to finish tomorrow along with another project... so very behind this year-- I'm normally not making the gifts for other people to give. *sigh*

It's fun... I wouldn't mind having an extra week though :D

[SDsalsaguy]

I wouldn't mind having an extra week though :D
Ooooooooooooo! I can so relate to that!

******

P.S. Feel better too SK! :D

[Swing Kitten]

awww thanks SD I will soon I'm sure. My spirits are good but my body has a few other plans.

perhaps I should go let it sleep now eh? that couldn't hurt.

It has been nice living without using an alarm clock!! even though by the end of a semester I get to the point where I can sleep through all of them anyway (dern alarm over ride system!) but it's not the same!

[Sagitta]

Too bad about the body "issue" SK. I feel so sad for you. :( Must have been all the work stress, then the holidays and....I'm getting a little stressed now. I must pack, and I must clean my shoes, and wrap the ONE gift that I have, and I HAVE to meet my realtives some place hours away. And I have been so excited I only got 4 hours of sleep, every night, the past couple nights. Ahhhrg!!! Help! I better get going.

[NeoDevin]

Ummm, I'm going snowboarding for the 4th time this week, if it makes any of you feel any better.

[SDsalsaguy]

Anyone around tonight?

[salsachinita]

Anyone around tonight?

I am, though it's only 7.58pm, kinda not late enough........ 8)

[SDsalsaguy]

Well, if I was SG I would say:
ITS ABOUT ME! ME! ME! ME! ME! MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
...in which case the only thing that matters is what time it is where I am, right?

As it stands now, though, there's a dual-modality at work in the IRU. Checking in at local IRU type hours certainly counts, but so too do exchanges with anyone else who happens to be maintaining IRU appropriate hours so, on these second grounds, your fine salsachinita…its is, after all, past 1am for me!

[salsachinita]

Good to hear that I qualify no matter what time :D ! How I feel previledged 8) !

I'm not feeling very well, otherwise I'd be out dancing (R&B, coz this festive season always seem to upset the normal salsa regular nights :roll: !

Is it like that where you are.....?

[SDsalsaguy]

Nope, not at all. If anything it seems to spawn a whole extra set of salsa events. Salsa christmas parties, new year's eve dances, etc.

[salsachinita]

Nope, not at all. If anything it seems to spawn a whole extra set of salsa events. Salsa christmas parties, new year's eve dances, etc.

Lucky ducky :roll: ! I know there would be a few parties somewhere if I look, but right now I'm kinda not in the mood :roll: .

I want to get better for Sunday. Don't wanna miss salsa on the beach, and a special band night after 10pm. (i must have caught a chill during the salsa cruise last Sunday :cry: ).

[salsachinita]

Sorry.....I am not my bright bubbly self to night....... :oops:

[SDsalsaguy]

Sorry.....I am not my bright bubbly self to night....... :oops:
No problem salsachinita, just feel better real soon, OK?

Consider yourself the recipient of copious quantities of psychic chiken soup too! How could you not feel better by Sunday now, right? :D

[salsachinita]

Consider yourself the recipient of copious quantities of psychic chiken soup too! How could you not feel better by Sunday now, right? :D

Thanks, SD. I really need to hear that *hug*!

I've only just realized that eventough all my senses could be (one day, hopfully never) reduced/loss due to my condition, my HEART is the only thing left that will continously be able to feel pleasure & pain........

It's comforting & discerning at the same time........

[SDsalsaguy]

Know that my prayers are always with you.. as is my shoulder.

[salsachinita]

Know that my prayers are always with you.. as is my shoulder.

:cry: thankyou :cry: .......

[SDsalsaguy]

Know that my prayers are always with you.. as is my shoulder.

:cry: thankyou :cry: .......
No need. I have no doubt that you would do the same for anyone else.

[salsachinita]

No need. I have no doubt that you would do the same for anyone else.

Very true.......I might sign off now to try and sleep it off.......I'm giving myself a deadline to BE better by Sunday :wink: !

What would I do without my DF family......?!

[SDsalsaguy]

What would I do without my DF family......?!
You'd still be you and you'd still be a gift from G-d...

Sleep well, dream only golden dreams, and feel better soon.

[salsachinita]

Sleep well, dream only golden dreams, and feel better soon.

Night, night, SD....! *hug* thanks so much....!

[SDsalsaguy]

Night-night salsachinita...

[danceguy]

2:10 am, checking in!

Salsachinita - I hope you are feeling better real soon! I'm half asleep so excuse any spelling and grammar errors. :wink:

Jon - I am so JEALOUS of your new Avatar! Awesome! :)

Anyone else up tonight? :P

[SDsalsaguy]

Jon - I am so JEALOUS of your new Avatar! Awesome! :)

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I knew you'd like it SG!

I figured it was a good one to start a new year out with too, know what I mean?

Go get some sleep my friend -- not all mortals are meant to function at IRU hours! :wink:

[danceguy]

I knew you'd like it SG!

I figured it was a good one to start a new year out with too, know what I mean?

That has to be the coolest avatar I've ever seen! Hmm...I think I need to find a new one now.... :oops:

Go get some sleep my friend -- not all mortals are meant to function at IRU hours!

I knew you were a vampire! :wink:

SG

[SDsalsaguy]

Go get some sleep my friend -- not all mortals are meant to function at IRU hours!

I knew you were a vampire! :wink:

Foolish boy! How many times am I going to have to remind you that I'm a vegetarian! :lol:

[danceguy]

Foolish boy! How many times am I going to have to remind you that I'm a vegetarian!

Boy? I bet you're not that much older than I am...how old are you by the way? :banana:

Hey, there's such a thing as a vegetarian vampire! They just drink beet juice and eat a lot of raw tomatoes, but when they go out for Italian food they have to watch their garlic intake. I had a friend who was one...instead of turning into a bat he turned into a block of Tofu with wings. Really! :wink:

I think I'll have to write a story about a vegetarian vampire...hmm....I think it's bedtime here....2:30 am, checking out....

SG

[SDsalsaguy]

:lol:

Night SG.

[SDsalsaguy]

Almost 1am here and I am absolutely wiped out! I'd go to sleep right now if I wasn't absolutely famished. Guess I'm going to have to go scrounge up some grub before I can get to sleep... :(

[SDsalsaguy]

Night night all. I'm now fed and bed beckons! :D ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz...

[Danish Guy]

It’s late, but not that late.

I find myself in the IRU forum.
Starring at SD’s new avatar.
Listening to the cold rain and the storm outside.
Dreaming about salsa on the warm beach.

Sure hope salsachinita is in top form by now :banana:

[Danish Guy]

4 in the morning.

Checkking out!

[NeoDevin]

Figure I may as well post here, since we're already talking about avatars.

FINALLY Got myself my own avatar. Check here (http://www.snowvalley.ab.ca/uploads/IMG_1470.JPG) for the whole picture that it came from.

And before you say it Jon, No, she's not 14 :P

[pygmalion]

Wow, NeoDevin! You're a cutie. :D

[NeoDevin]

Wow, NeoDevin! You're a cutie. :D

:oops: Awwww, you're just sayin' that cus' it's true.

... thank you :oops: :D

... How old are you ;)

[NeoDevin]

2:11, signing out.

[SDsalsaguy]

Wow, NeoDevin! You're a cutie. :D

Don't wory Devin, she's not 14! :lol:

[NeoDevin]

Wow, NeoDevin! You're a cutie. :D

Don't wory Devin, she's not 14! :lol:

Thank you Mr. Helpful.


PS. So I lied about signing out, what're you gonna do about it?

[SDsalsaguy]

PS. So I lied about signing out, what're you gonna do about it?
Know better than to trust the veracity of any statemnets you make maybe? :lol:

[NeoDevin]

Know better than to trust the veracity of any statemnets you make maybe? :lol:

Ahh, but I always eventually admit to my lies.

You can doubt the veracity of any statements I amke all you want, it'll be your loss ;)

[NeoDevin]

Ok, this time I'm really going to bed. It's 3:19 now. G'nite all.

[NeoDevin]

Ok, I got side tracked... after I post this I'm closing this window and going to bed. 4:00 am now.

On the bright side, I now have latest post in all the dance forums :lol:

[pygmalion]

Wow, NeoDevin! You're a cutie. :D

:oops: Awwww, you're just sayin' that cus' it's true.

... thank you :oops: :D

... How old are you ;)

Alas. Much too old, I fear. But I appreciate beauty when I see it! :D 8)

[Swing Kitten]

I have been sleeping so much lately!! I haven't been qualifying for either IRU or ERC! YIKES!! I'm not used to sleeping for 12 hours at a time but my guess is that my body needs it so it's taking it :shrug: I hope to get back to normal soon... whatever schedule that may be!

[SDsalsaguy]

Normal, what's that? :shock:

[danceguy]

1:40 am checking in - any other late night IRU peeps about?

[Danish Guy]

Sure, just reading the load of posts.

[SDsalsaguy]

Any other IRU peeps in the house tonight? What are you all up to? (Pun only partially intended :lol:)

I just got back from the gym myself, and man can I feel my back! Definitely thing I'll put off my leg workout for the next couple of days as I want to be in tip top salsa shape for New Year's Eve!

[pygmalion]

Hmm. Don't think this counts as IRU stuff, since I'm just checking in, during the middle of a perfectly good night's sleep. Middle of the night wake-up, figured I'd check in before going back to scanning the old eyelids! Nighty night! :lol: 8)

[SDsalsaguy]

scanning the old eyelids!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Nighty night Jenn! Pleasant "scanning" too!

[Sagitta]

I just got back from the gym myself, and man can I feel my back!

You're lucky to have a gym open!! I just let myself go as my gym (university) is closed until the 6th!! :(

[SDsalsaguy]

As I've mentioned to SG, 24 Hour Fitness is the gym of choice for us hardcore IRU members!

Seriosuly though, my university has first class athletic facilities but, even closing at 11:00pm, it just doesn't suit me. Given my refular hours 24 was the only way to go....

[Danish Guy]

How can I leave for some sleep,
when the posts come in faster than I can read?

[SDsalsaguy]

You've noticed that problem too John?

Fortunately I live in North America & I keep very late hours so, typically, when I want to go to bed for the night I can get away with it. When I want to catch an afternoon nap or, G-d forbid, actually get to campus in time to teach my classes though??? I'm just up the creek at those points. I've actually been late to lecture (and several times at that!) because of all of you over achievers out there! :x :wink: :oops: :lol:

[NeoDevin]

SDSalsaguy, you just had post #666 in this thread, I now have 667.

[Sagitta]

SDSalsaguy, you just had post #666 in this thread, I now have 667.

Actually, SD was 667, you were 668, and I'm 669!! :P

[SDsalsaguy]

Nope, I think Devin's count is correct...

[Sagitta]

15 posts/page x 44 = 660, page 45 start counting from the top? 661,662...If that's not correct how do you do it?

[Swing Kitten]

it would depend if you're counting posts or replies.

The count to the right of the thread title I believe is the 'reply count' (which doesn't count the intial post) ... Sagitta is counting posts... NeoDevin is counting replies.

I think this may be the root of the confusion :shrug:

Trust SK to set us all straight! :lol:

[Swing Kitten]

any time SD :D

[danceguy]

11:30 pm, checking out...I think its time for a more ERC like schedule...this going to bed at 3 am business is getting old real fast. :shock: :oops: :shock:

Just can't keep up with you true blue IRC folks! I even go to dances that end early too...heh. :roll:

[youngsta]

I'm on serious IRU status tonight!

[SDsalsaguy]

Welcome to *the* place to be youngsta! We don't see enough of you around these parts you know! :lol:

And look, you got our 46th page (:!:) started to boot! :D

[youngsta]

:lol: yeah, I don't know if I should cheer or pass out do to exhaustion!!

[danceguy]

You've got your work cut out for you Youngsta...I only joke about being able stay up like these folks...but I can't hold a candle to them! :oops:

Whoops, I'm online past midnight again! Apologies, faithful ERC peeps. :roll:

(wait, I don't have any peeps...) :cry:

[lindy jihad]

what a long night its going to be.
i have to be up at 6am and from how i feel now i wont be going to sleep until around 4

[lindy jihad]

everytime i post here, it freaking dies.
depressing.

[danceguy]

Hey! I'm still lurking around...:)

Sounds like more time for dancing practice! I've been listening to Salsa all night (i love salsastream!)...so I think I'll be dreaming it all night...

How about telling more about that wild tat of yours? Firstly, may I ask what inspired you to get it?

[youngsta]

I'm still here...barely :lol:

[danceguy]

I see Youngsta is still up...are you going for full fledged IRU membership? :)

Yep Lindy Jihad, the founding members of this forum are usually never around at odd hours...sometimes I wonder if they just have friends who log in as them or something.

I bet SDSalsaguy is sleeping right now...but he's more than likely out dancing. :wink:

[danceguy]

Are you one or two hours ahead in Colorado? Its almost 1 am here. I never sleep well after dances...man my feet hurt! :oops:

[NeoDevin]

Well, 2:00 here, I'm off to bed. G'nite All. Happy new years on the slim chance I don't make it on here tomorrow.

Devin

[SDsalsaguy]

Silly SG (as always!), I was only away from my computer for a little bit! :lol:

Sleeping??? :shock: At this hour??? :shock: Please!!!!

Good luck with the late nights youngsta and LJ.

As for you SG... go to bed!!! :tongue:

[lindy jihad]

How about telling more about that wild tat of yours? Firstly, may I ask what inspired you to get it?
my wild tatt. hah, rad.
well...what inspired me?
both sides of my families are off the boat. it started out as something totally different but it still had the whole oldskool ship/sailing/ocean theme.
the fish were mermaids (they are being moved up to my neck)
the battle ship was a clipper (changed to a battle ship because clippers tend to be over done, battleships are very rare, and it looks bad ass.)
the anchor was going to be much bigger, but we had thought we were just going to scrap it, so we put the eagle much lower..
but yes, i am addicted. i love tattoos.

[lindy jihad]

oh by the way. if you guys who have not seen yet, there is a picture uploaded in the photo album.

[danceguy]

1:30 am, checking in...happy new year everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SG

[NeoDevin]

Well, 4:12 am here... not so late considering new years eve, but it'll do anyways. G'nite All.

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE!!!

[SDsalsaguy]

Just got in... and just coming up on 4:30am here! Hope everyone had a happy and safe new years!!! :D

[SDsalsaguy]

Still up tabulating and assembling the 2003 DF Award nominations . . . I guess that’ll teach me to let you all make up and name your own categories! :lol:

[SDsalsaguy]

I finally finished putting the 2003 DF Awards together... definitely time to go get some sleep now... except I'm hungry, and the sun's up and bright... :?

Oh yeah...

Happy 2004 to all :!::!::!:

[SDsalsaguy]

I give up!

I'm going to go run a few errands... maybe when I get home I'll go to sleep?

[SDsalsaguy]

Well, I ended up going to sleep a little past 1:00pm (:shock:) and then got up somewhere around 8pm... anyone else about tonight?

[danceguy]

See why you are the King of the IRU? :notworth:

Its about 1:30 am and I'm still up....contemplating having some ice cream but knowing I really don't need it. :oops:

[danceguy]

2:15 am, night all.....

SD - try to be in bed by 5 am ok? :wink:

[SDsalsaguy]

I think I actually went to bed not too long after you SG... but check your ERC thread too! :wink:

[Sagitta]

Well, I ended up going to sleep a little past 1:00pm (:shock:) and then got up somewhere around 8pm... anyone else about tonight?

I actually was up until about 3:40, went to bed, and finally got up at 11:50!! :)

[SDsalsaguy]

Woah... methinks we'll make a true IRU member out of you yet SG! :lol:

[NeoDevin]

Well, I had intended to be in bed by 11 tonight, but it's now almost 1. Guess I can sign out now.

G'nite Y'all

[Sagitta]

I'm signing out at 2:57 a.m. In 53 hrs 3 minutes I need to be at work so I better reset my clock. Midnight for me, from now on after this!! zzzz.....

[danceguy]

I hear you Sagitta, I will have to be back at work next Monday as well, after having 10 days off to be a true member of the IRU club. No more 2-3 ams for me...back to the 11pm so I get up at 6 am to do yoga before work. :)

Of course, I may stay up a little later on Salsa night. :wink:

Hmm, 1:30 am...not ready for bed yet...SD - think everyone else has turned in for the night! :oops:

[Swing Kitten]

Hmm, 1:30 am...not ready for bed yet...SD - think everyone else has turned in for the night! :oops:

I think you just did stay up late enough ;)

three minutes to two here and checking in.

[danceguy]

Yikes SK, what are you doing up so late???

(a better question is, what the heck I am still doing up at 2 am?).

:oops: :oops: :oops:

P.S. Like my new avatar?

[Swing Kitten]

yup... nice avatar

I just finished watching a movie with my mother

now.... ... don't you need to be trying to procure some coffee beans or something ;)

[danceguy]

Coffee beans? Who said anything about coffee beans? I have not a single one here. I do have about 10 lbs of tea (no joke!).

Hmm, I am a certified massage therapist...does that help? :)

[danceguy]

Night all - 2:15 am...I'm getting too old for this!

[Swing Kitten]

the coffee beans are for your shameless flirting collateral...

ahh... is the past forgotten so quickly?

I have a friend with a bad back... he could use a massage therapist!

[danceguy]

Coffee beans are Sara and SD's thing, I'm staying as far away from that as possible! :doh:

Believe me, I need some physical therapy in the worst way myself! My regular bodyworker is away for the holidays and I'm patiently waiting to get an appointment! :headwall:

You could work on your friend - it's always nice to give massages to people. Hmm...I always tend to give a lot more than I receive though...I wonder what's up with that... :? :|

Ok, time to really check out now...night!

[danceguy]

2:50 am. - Ok, now I'm really signing off. :P :oops: :P

SD - you'd better be out dancing, on a hot date or anything but asleep! :evil:

[Swing Kitten]

You could work on your friend - it's always nice to give massages to people. Hmm...I always tend to give a lot more than I receive though...I wonder what's up with that... :? :|

yeah, I know what you mean... I seldom recieve massages either. http://www.swingmonkey.com/phpBB2/images/smiles/shrug.gif%20

I can give my friend backrubs and such but I don't have the technique to make it truely therapudic... and pointers?

[SDsalsaguy]

2:50 am. - Ok, now I'm really signing off. :P :oops: :P

SD - you'd better be out dancing, on a hot date or anything but asleep! :evil:
Hmmm.... I think I was going to sleep around the time you posted this. But given that I was up every 30-60 minutes and am now up posting this at 6:35am, I'm not sure how much sleep I really got. :cry:

I was out dancing last night, but I was tired, there were a lot of loonies on the floor, and it was crowded, so I called it an early night at the club -- a bit before midnight I think. :shock:

[Sagitta]

Good call! The loonies come calling and I'm off, zooming :car: Don't want to go to bed!!! :headwall: I using the excuse of cooling a beef curry that I made, before I put it away to stay up right now, and my housemate is not there to dash my pretences to pieces and send me packing!! :)

[SDsalsaguy]

Almost no good follows out tonight so, again, I called it an early night. I do have to seriously straighten up the apartment though, because my roommate gets back from winter break tomorrow afternoon.

What really tweaks me is that I know that, come Monday, when I’ll need to be up in lecture prior to 9am it will once again take multiple earthquakes to rouse me prior to 11am… :shock: :? :(

[NeoDevin]

Well, it's 1:30, I'm about ready to call it a night. I'll be up at 5:00 tomorrow morning, but won't make it online. I'm at my parent's place, and I can't stand their computer (so unstable) so it's hard to reply to posts. I'll reply to a bunch of them whenever I get home tomorrow.

[danceguy]

2:10 am - This is my last night in the IRU club as come Monday its time to return to work (blah)...so I'll be back to my old ERC schedule.

Anyone else up?

[pygmalion]

Hmm. I was awake but not logged in. :shock: I know. I know. The DF addict wasn't logged in? A real shocker. But I've got to cut back. ... Tomorrow! LOL. :lol:

[NeoDevin]

Well, it's 1:21 and I'm ready to sign out. I had intended to be in bed by 11 tonight, but you can see how well that worked.

[SDsalsaguy]

Ended up getting to sleep around 3am yesterday night but then had to get up at 7:15am to run some errands on campus and be in lecture by 9am. Yuck! :x

Anyway, waking up that early is just not normal (well, at least for me,) so I ended up sleeping half the afternoon away. I just got back from the gym a bit past 1:00am so am now catching up on tonight's DF postings and chilling out.

Any other IRU peeps in the house?

[d nice]

Ain't no party like a DF party, because a DF party don't stop!

[SDsalsaguy]

Ain't no party like a DF party, because a DF party don't stop!
Ain't that the truth! :lol:

[d nice]

Its 3:30 and I'm still up. Trying to catch up after the holidays, happy, happy, joy, joy to everyone in the new year.

[SDsalsaguy]

Coming up on 4am here. Hmm, I think I'll try heading off to bed...

G'night to all! :kitty:

[d nice]

4:30 and I'm logging off.

Night all.

[salsachinita]

It's 3am for me. Is anyone still around?

[Sagitta]

I'm here, but it is 11:19a.m in NY!! :P

[NeoDevin]

It seems to be deserted in here tonight.

Ah well, I'm going to bed. It's only 11:04 here though :(

[SDsalsaguy]

Only 10:45ish here... but I'll be around the rest of the evening. I have my second 7am morning of the week tomorrow... :cry: :cry: :cry:

[Swing Kitten]

I've been to bed already but had a hard time sleeping (an hour or more with no Z's) so I thought I'd pop in.

[SDsalsaguy]

Sorry to hear your sleepless this evening SK . . . :(

[Sagitta]

Checking in and I have to be at work at 8:00 tomorrow!! I just am back from dancing at the Latin night at Commonground, and I had a blast. I was a bit unsure about it as it is the holidays, Ithaca is a college town, and feared there wouldn't be too many people around. However, I ended up dancing most of the night. :D :bouncy: :bouncy: :banana: :banana: :banana:

After not dancing for a fortnight what else can one expect?

[Swing Kitten]

congrats Sagitta

[Sagitta]

Yeah!!! Too bad about you not being able to sleep Swingkitten! I'm so jacked up, so excited after my night out that I need a little time to calm down. At least we have you to keep us company, and of course I do have SDsalaguy who is going to share the 7:00a.m. morning with me. Time I need to get up to get to work by eight.

[Swing Kitten]

your 7am is his 10 am -- the earth's rotation is working against you my friend :(

[Sagitta]

I know. He gets up at 7 his time and I get up at 7 mine. We both share the same pain!!

[SDsalsaguy]

I know. He gets up at 7 his time and I get up at 7 mine. We both share the same pain!!
Normally I'd agree, but this is special circumstances I think . . . 7am is much, much worse for me! I did win the King of the IRU award after all, now didn’t I? :lol:

[Swing Kitten]

except it's 3 am over there and only midnight here. He can choose to be asleep by three but you cannot

[Swing Kitten]

alright, time to try again...

back to the sack

[NeoDevin]

Well, it's almost 2. I went to bed earlier, couldn't sleep so I came back to flirt with SK for a bit (I like it when you play hard to get ;)). But now I think I'm gonna try and get to sleep again. G'nite all.

[SDsalsaguy]

Sheesh, talk about a slow night on the DF . . . :?

Where was everybody? Anyway, night night all . . .

[Sagitta]

How's this for an active night!! Checking in and checking out as I now need to be at work at 7:30 tomorrow as I'm opening the library!! :(

[NeoDevin]

I've gotta get up at 6 to go in for some blood tests, so I'm calling it a night as well. Catch you guys tomorrow.

[lindy jihad]

..go in for some blood tests

hah, i am not even going to touch that one, even though it would bring me great joy.

[Swing Kitten]

that's some real compassion there lindy jihad

[lindy jihad]

yup, thats me. mr. compassion.

:twisted:

[SDsalsaguy]

I'm just getting around to putting together some materials for my students for tomorrow. Unfortunately that means I'll probably be up for a while working on this instead of my own materials… :?

[danceguy]

Yikes 11 pm here, if I don't turn off this Salsa music I'll never get to bed! I have still been going to sleep at 2 am this week and getting up at 7 am to get ready for work...but I'm calling it a night early....need sleep...yes sleep...so night night everyone. :)

SD - Don't stay up too late! I woke up at 3:30 am this morning since I had a really bad nightmare - and I was tempted to log onto DF and see who was on. If I see you on that late I will give you a prompt lecture and send you to bed! :wink:

[lindy jihad]
