So I woke up thinking it is about 5:30 a.m. and figure I will stay up (since I am wide awake) until I have to go to work around 8:00-8:30. It turns out it's 3:00 a.m. What does one do when wide awake at three in the morning?
Just to name a few at the top of my head:
Watch infomercials and online dating commercials
Knit a sweater
Read an inspirational book because usually when I am up this early and can't get back to bed it typically means I am in an either bad, irritated or sad mood (or ill).
Play words with friends
Rethink my life goals and plans
Work on my music/poetry/art -- you know if I were the artsy type.
Write an essay
Facebook stalk people
Online shop
Scrapbook -- if I were a suburban housewife
Drink a bottle of wine while browsing the web for photos of Tyson Beckford-- if I were an upper middle class suburban housewife.
Does anyone remember Party Line? Where you'd call (from your land line) some 800 or 900 number and group chat with random people? You'd have to come up with some sort of alias like SweetBaby or CuteChick or IAmSlutty. It's the AOL Chat Room versions for people who weren't rich enough to have the internet back in the 90s. I think I remember calling that number when I was in junior high this time of night. I am pretty sure that is when all the rapists and pedophiles called in. I can't believe I am still alive.
You could have started your thesis. Just sayin.
ReplyDeleteI like how SD gives you the one practical thing to do that wasn't on your list.
ReplyDeleteThat is because SD is a party pooper.
