The Night Crew

[Shaw]

I must have a social life, I must look for a girlfriend, I must do this, I must do that.

Wow... I know that I'm pretty much out of the loop on life as a single person (as I was only single for 2 years of my adult life), but I've always felt that love happens when (and where) you least expect it. I met my first wife when I was 16 and I can tell you that I honestly would never have believed that she and I would have ended up together (we were together for 13 years). It wasn't something I could have worked to make happen, it either was or wasn't.

It seems like people are forced to present a false image of themselves while dating (or attempting to get a date). I can't imagine doing that. Relationships, the ones that work, are based on friendship. Being attracted to someone isn't enough, the other person (ideally) should be your best friend.

The thing that scared me when I was first single (at the age of 29) was that by attempting to have relationships (by actively looking) I might be missing the real possibilities. That and the fact that honesty seemed to be something that people didn't practice early on in dating.

I'm glad I wasn't single for too long.

^I have always been single. I don't want to be any other way. I can't even imagine what a terrible boyfriend or, even worse, husband I might make.

Dammit, I actually go to bed early for once and that's when the thread explodes. I hate you guys.

I've beaten a pretty substantial amount of the game without a single glitch. I don't know if I just got lucky or what, but nothing about it is broken on my end.

I've run into one glitch that was a real frustrating one because it was at the end of a level. I finally broke down and started over and got through it, but only after finding several walkthroughs that told me I was doing it right in the first place.

That's what you get for attempting a diurnal lifestyle. You ought to know better by now, so says I. And who is the Queen of the Night Crew? Me: I went to bed at 10 am. And got up at 2. I feel godawful.

 

[Sephiroth]

awwww, that sucks *backrub* wana talk about it?

 

[thestrangequark]

^At the very least I'll take the back rub.

 

[Sephiroth]

ok, here, lie down on the couch *gets mah oils*

 

[thestrangequark]

^Aw, such a sweet thought, but virtual back rubs won't relive the tension in my shoulders.

 

[Skywalker]

I think the only tension Sephiroth is interested in relieving is his.

Sorry you're not feeling well. I only went to bed so early because I'd been up for well over twenty-four hours, so I was exhausted. And here it is, ten after 11 PM, and I'm already feeling tired again.

I'm scared.

well, it's all i can give you right now, if i were in the city, or if you were here things would be different

I think that very few people understand what it's like not to be able to stick to a sleeping schedule. It's not as easy as just going to bed at this hour and getting up at that. My sleeping has been so messed up for so long that I can't even imagine what it'd be like to be able to lie down and just fall asleep; to not toss and turn for at least three or four hours before drifting off; to be able to get up in the morning without feeling so ill that anyone else would take the day off. Guh. I hate sleep disorders.

We can dream.

 

[Sephiroth]

*sigh* yes we can

 

[thestrangequark]

I need motivation. I want to start running again! Some one tell me how to get back into the habit of running 4 miles every morning?

 

[Sephiroth]

i could get you into a Marine style fitness regiment

 

[Skywalker]

Get up, go outside, and run.

Okay, I'm a terrible motivational speaker. Sorry.

 

[Super Grover]

You can have plenty of time to go running...WHEN YOU'RE LIVING IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!!!

 

[RoJoHen]

Just got back from my friend's apartment. We watched the 2 new Heroes episodes from last week on his TiVo (because I hadn't seen them yet), and then we watched tonight's new Heroes, as well as the season premiere of Chuck.

I frickin love Chuck. It's probably one of my favorite shows. Heroes is already better than last year, but I am skeptical as to how this season is going to play out.

Now I'm going to cook some food. I've only eaten twice over the last 2 days, and I need to remedy that.

Oooh, I wish I were up to that, I really do! My diabetes limits my endurance though (maintaining blood sugar during exercise can be difficult with type 1 diabetes). I seriously want to get fit again, though. What would you recommend as far as motivation goes?
I'm not in bad shape as it is: I walk everywhere, including a direct 5.6 mile walk home over the Williamsburg bridge almost every day; I bike a lot (though I haven't much lately because the ticket incident intimidated me); I do about 30 minute of hatha yoga almost every day. But I need to jog off the extra poundage.
I want to work on cardio and I really love running. It's just extra hard to get up the motivation because I can't run in my neighborhood, so I'll have to bike 15 minutes to the park first. It's also hard when you've not done it in a long time to get back into the habit. Also, I don't know what's wrong with me, I'm only 25, and 10-15 lbs isn't all that overweight (especially considering that I'm a seriously muscle-bound girl), but I've been having joint pain. Nothing severe, but when I wake up my hips are all stiff, and they hurt really bad when I do child's pose in yoga! It's like I'm an old woman!
