Late night posting is where it's at.

[bballarl]

This is the real way to do it.

[Ill_Eagle]

you call this late night?! AMATEUR!!


AMATEUR I TELL YOU!

[Jenniehoo]

I used to put a lot more thought into daytime posts, though. I would be able to write fucking dissertations. Being stuck at work with nothing better to do than post really increases the quality of your concentration and content. Now I come on here drunk and spout sentence fragments.

[miscorrections]

more people ought to stay up, but of course most people on here have jobs and such so i guess they can't really.

it's too bad. i get dreadfully bored.

[Ill_Eagle]

why are we not in the chatroom?

[bballarl]

Because we do whatever we want.

[canexplain]

it is late, but hey, tomorrow is a holiday ... yeaaaaaaaaaaaa.. cr****

[miscorrections]

andrew took the words right out of my mouth.

[Jenniehoo]

We're free thinkers. And thread fillers. I'm still trying to boost my post count so I can get street cred - so I'm all about it.

[bballarl]

We should start a poll to determine who has the most street cred on the board. I would vote John.

me too, i want to get to 1k on this damn board lol .... cr****

[bballarl]

Because you said this, I am going to listen to Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf and play air piano to it. Thank you.

East coast, it's almost 4 a.m. At 5, isn't it morning?

[ewiggy]

i am chatting by myself. don't come in. i'm getting mad street cred right now.

[bballarl]

Are you keeping the pimp hand strong?

[ewiggy]

don't talk back to me, son.

[miscorrections]

will you transcribe the chat here for our viewing pleasure, then?

[ewiggy]

i have company, now.

[Good Days Last]

I'm usually the one posting for a while here.

Where'd you guys come from?

[bballarl]

Corinna makes an interesting request.

[bballarl]

I'm here almost every night when I'm bored.

[Jenniehoo]

It's a week night that's like a weekend night but not so much that I'm doing anything. But I can get drunk and stay up late. It's the perfect storm. For me.

[miscorrections]

i'm here more or less all the time because i'm a lazy unemployed bum.

[Jenniehoo]

When I was unemployed I stayed up until like 5am and then would sleep until noon. It really made me realize how crap I am at taking care of myself outside of necessity. I felt like shit all the time.

Basically - don't feel bad. I bet you're doing a lot better than I did.

[ewiggy]

i do that now. i am employed but it makes me feel unemployed. go night shift!

[miscorrections]

oh man, the 5 am thing kills me. except i don't really stay up out of choice.

[bballarl]

Insomnia?

[Jenniehoo]

Is it because you sleep later so you end up staying up later?
You should keep a running tab of the random shit you do late at night because you can and share it with us.

[Good Days Last]

I'm the same. I have a job from 4-10 or 11 (depending on the day) and yet I can't sleep until 4 or 5.

Then I sleep all day and get up at 3.

Not too healthy.

[Good Days Last]

Now where did everyone go?

[Ill_Eagle]

BYE BYE BYE BYE

EDIT: I own page 2.

it's 'cause i'm weird and just have these random spates where i can't fall asleep till 5 or 6 am.
and i never do anything interesting, i just read or sit and wish i was sleeping.

[tessalasset]

Wuddup. Jennie you missed an awesome party tonight at Joe's. Except everyone is still there. I skipped out early cause I'm tired and have to wake up early this morning. But it was fuuuuuunnnnnn.

[sydaud]

Get a script for Ambien. Stuff rules.

[Yablonowitz]

Get a script for Ambien. Stuff rules.

I've been meaning to ask you, do you get your scripts legitimately or do you have connections? The way you use them, say Lexapro for example, is not how I think most doctors recommend and I would think yours would be particularly reticent to continue filling prescriptions of medications that you go through so quickly. Maybe I'm missing something.

[J~$$$]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Completely legitimately. I haven't gotten pills jacked from pharmacies for years now (although those were wonderful, wonderful days before Oxycontin became public knowledge and pharmacies tightened restrictions). I've had to go through 10 or so psychiatrists in my life thus far to find two or three who would prescribe me what I wanted when I wanted it, which I'm sure sounds like they're doing a shitty job of being doctors.

I only stick with the ones who recognize that I have a pretty good grip on how to best manage my body's chemistry and problems related to it. It's not terribly difficult unless the doc happens to be a real prick about prescribing potentially abusable substances (I don't really abuse my prescriptions, believe it or not) 'cause I can talk neurochemistry almost as well as them.

What about my Lexapro issues characterizes me as a "bad" patient, so to speak? I'm not taking offense, just curious.

[J~$$$]

nOOOOOOOOOO! ur doing it wrong!

[Yablonowitz]

Well, I'll admit that I may have completely misunderstood how you went about using it, but it doesn't seem to me that you gave it enough time to work. My far more limited experience with SSRIs is that you need to give them at least 6 months for your body to reach a sort of equilibrium with it and also, I'm not going to argue with you since you KNOW how things work so well, but I think consistently trying new and different medications/illegal substances/alcohol at the same time you're trying to adjust to lexapro is only going to complicate the process of getting your body in tune with it. But, you know more about this than me, so I defer to your more thorough history and research. Just an uninformed observation.

[RotationSlimWang]

Nah it's cool, that's what I figured you were getting at, and yeah that's what the doctors like to say too, although I think six months is way too long of a grace period to be giving your body to adjust--I can't ever really recall a doc trying to pressure me into sticking it out for much longer than a month or two.

My personal feelings on it are that this entire family of meds (and really all the anti-depressants in general) are still very much a mystery to psychiatrists. No one knows why certain people will respond so favorably to one variety but become suicidal if put on a slightly different member of the same class of substances. But the ones that have worked for me at all, however briefly that might have been, worked pretty much right away (read: within a week). Whatever side effects generally became present within the first two months.

Within a couple days, Lexapro somehow resurrected the kind of suicidal and violent impulses that drove me to psychiatrists in the first place. No need to give it time to take effect, man. Might not have survived long enough.

Trust your body when it comes to this stuff. I couldn't get by easily without meds to treat my symptoms, but when it comes to meds that supposedly treat the "cause" of the symptoms, I just have a lot of misgivings.

We could have a month long discussion on this topic and get nowhere. I'm not disagreeing with you. And, certainly if the initial side effects are unbearable, than stopping makes sense. I wasn't certain how intense your "side effects" were. And, most definitely, everyone reacts differently to the drugs and no one knows how someone will react. Sometimes, though, how much dosage you start with can play a big role in your initial reaction. Sometimes not.

I don't believe any of these psychiatric conditions have one cause and I've had enough experience to know that a medication certainly can not cure a mental disorder (for lack of better words). MY experience was that I didn't even get to a fully regulated state for a few months - some side effects were gone in a week, some slowly tapered down over time. But, for whatever reason, they never provide 100% protection all the time and that's why I think you also need to change your behavior/habits in addition to taking meds. But I'm still completely in the dark about how depression/anxiety starts and ends. Every theory I've had about my own has been either disproved or contradicted.

I'm rambling now.

[J~$$$]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

[miscorrections]

so i couldn't fall asleep again last night but i did get to hear my next-door neighbors having vigorous sex. they had terrible rhythm.

[Hannahrain]

They can't all be Dave Grohl, Corinna.

[Hannahrain]

I confess that when I was typing that last comment, Rick Allen was the first drummer I thought of.

[J~$$$]

You had visions of Rick pouring some sugar. LOllll<3

[Hannahrain]

It's probably harder for him to pour sugar than it is for the rest of us. Poor guy.

[J~$$$]

I wonder if he uses his feet to pour sugar too?

[sydaud]

http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/thumb/8/84/200px-Rallen2.jpg

[Hannahrain]

Let's interview him. And throughout the interview, we can keep handing him stuff. He'll get all overloaded and uncomfortable and we'll keep our big newsanchor smiles on and pretend nothing is wrong.

Then we will apologize and give him a basket of mini-muffins that is much too large to carry with one hand.

[J~$$$]

Ill go in for a left hand handshake at the end of the interview.

[Hannahrain]

I'll tell him he can touch my boob with his left hand if he wants.

[J~$$$]

We can test his agility on a rope course.

[Hannahrain]

"Hey Rick! Catch! Oh, sorry. I forgot. Let me get you some ice for that".

[J~$$$]

"Ohhhhh Rick.... you so silly." ~hotshot, this will go along with a funky guitar riff. Then we will ask him to join the band with hotshot. The audience will cheer RICK! RICK! RICK! itll be so rad.

[Hannahrain]

We'll be the first morning show to ever be asked to move to NBC Thursday night. Our ratings will be through the roof.

Eventually, we'll get rich and there'll be a scandal of some kind, probably involving a pool boy. We'll both do time for somethingorother, and cease to be the darlings of network television. Upon release, You'll do weightloss infomercials and I'll work for the Home Shopping Network selling ugly christmas things.


It's going to be great until then, though.

[J~$$$]

Im juiced for it, what a sweet ride it will be Hannah.

hey, that's 7 hours of sleep. perfectly healthy if you ask me.

[bballarl]

I can't sleep.

[RotationSlimWang]

I can't sleep.

Walgreens -> Unisom -> four thereof -> sleepyville

[rage patton]

I should get to bed... Cure tickets go on sale tomorrow morning...
but these damn microsoft games are keeping me up!

[bballarl]

I can't sleep because I'm in creative mode, not because I'm an insomniac. I'm afraid I'll lose this melody if I go to sleep, but lyrics aren't coming.

[RotationSlimWang]

Record and get some sleep. Leave it playing while you sleep. Perhaps you'll wake up with lyrics. Trying to work through exhaustion has never worked in a way I ended happy with, but that's just me.

[bballarl]

I have just decided that if the melody is good enough it will be with me in the morning. Bedtime.

[RotationSlimWang]

Always record, always record.

[bmack86]

Syd Barrett won't let me sleep. Early Pink Floyd is where it's at.

[Mr.Nipples]

im watching this...
http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t39/RetardoTronFiveThousand/200px-Leonard_Part_6_DVD_cover.jpg

[RotationSlimWang]

Um... c'mon, early Pink Floyd is not where it's at, let's be frank here.

[bmack86]

Randy, it most definitely is.

And, congrats, apparently you're insufferable again. I didn't suffer first time 'round, may it begin soon.

[RotationSlimWang]

Alright, I'm not gonna get into a big argu over it, but seriously? Barrett era over Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, Animals, AND The Wall?

For realsies?

[bmack86]

Not sayin' that. To me, they're two separate entities. Barrett's Floyd was wildly different, and I love it. Those four you listed are probably their best work (and Meddle, don't forget that little gem) but Barrett's shit was golden.

[RotationSlimWang]

Maybe, but post-Barrett is still technically "where it's at," at least according to Google Maps.

[bmack86]

Did they have two turntables and a microphone?

[sydaud]

Lucifer Sam, siam cat.
Always sitting by your side
Always by your side.
That cat's something I can't explain

Agreed. Barrett wrote some incredible songs, Lucifer Sam prolly being my favorite.

[i_like_cake530]

Am I allowed to post in here during the day? Cause i just did...

[rage patton]

This thread may NOT posted in during the day!
Wait... what did I just do?
*explodes*

[matsuolost]

where its at?!

[Ill_Eagle]

What the problem is??
