Sir, I misrepresent that remark.

He tried to strangle you for taking Valerian? That's odd... Does he have something against herbal remedies?

In my pre-sleep imaginings, I think about having a pet Raven or Probe. The Probe comes in in the morning around the bed, just barely seen above its edge, making his little gentle noises, as if to warp in breakfast. Then with a blinding flash of light he warps in a pylon that takes up the whole room and collapses through the floor while he bobs calmly back into the other room. I was up for a while giggling over that in the dark.

Ah yes... Programmers are the bane of fun-loving robots.

And I agree. A probe would be an adorable companion. And now I find myself idly wondering as to the size of a pylon...

I was so anxious to hear what was supposed to go my way too.

He accused me of being on drugs.

In my mind, there are good drugs, then there are bad drugs. Good drugs being prescription stuff like painkillers (Panadol, Morphene etc), anti-depressants (which I think I need to be on..) and herbal remedies (does Chamomile tea count? It's a relaxant and an anti-depressant..).

Bad drugs = all those bad things that cops take off you if you have any.

EDIT -

ION: At Woolworths down the road, there are $2 Pringles. $2 Tim Tams (proper brand name, not that homebrand poop). And $2.50 500mL cans of Monster (energy drink). DSFGSFDGSDFGSDFGOODBYEALLMYMONEYAFGAGFWRE!

Isn't Valerian one of the things that werewolves get queasy around?

Maybe he's a werewolf?

I'm sure there is also a song from him for practically anything.

Albeit I have significantly less money.

That's kinda the main coda and message from the song, if your offspring is doing something unhealthy force him into proper help.

1,3,7-trimethyl-1H-purine-2,6(3H,7H)-dione3,7-dihydro-1,3,7-trimethyl-1H-purine-2,6-dione actually, coffee just happens to contain it along with all of the other caffeinated drinks.

does this mean that you can't claim not to drink coffee if you drink energydrinks? BOUNDRIES HAVE BEEN CROSSED!
the world will never be the same again.

NEVVAH!

[Feytalist]

Woolies is awesome.

I think for like a year there I only ate Woolies ready-made food. And then it got too expensive, heh.


Regarding the drugs thing, I read somewhere once (it might have been Cracked, so fact-checking might be in order) that hospitals actually keep a stash of heroin handy to give to patients in certain situations. Like people going through withdrawal, and... women in labour? Wow, that sounds really unlikely. Brb, fact-checking.

You don't drink coffee, you drink caffeine, which is what I was saying, the drug isn't coffee but a component of it and it is shared by all of the caffeinated drinks (as much as the definition of caffeinated presupposes caffeine.)

You might be thinking of methadone which is similar in structure to heroin and is sometimes used to reduce dependency on it due to the way high doses of it result in reduced heroin effects, (as well as being similar to morphine making it an analgesic).

According to Wikipedia, you are actually right. Much more common in the UK than elsewhere, though.

Whoa. "Diamorphine", right.

Those silly Brits.

So how much sleep is expected of a typical college student on weekdays?

Isn't it like 7-9 hrs or something?

Oh, and it isn't women in labour, but women after having a cesarean section.

I think my lecturers expected us to get around -2 hours of sleep a night, looking at the workload they gave us, heh.

But really, I coped pretty well with 5 to 6 hours a night. 'Course, it would have been better had I not played Warcraft 3 till the wee hours of the morning every day...

Yeah, I read that bit too. Makes slightly more sense, I guess.

Yeah, that was a joke. I am well aware. You didn't need to deconstruct my allready shoddy attempt at humor. Now i need another roll of duct tape.

Sleep is for the weak. Or rather: Todays society isn't really constructed around the idea that people have private interests too. I've yet to meet someone who sleeps propperly while also spending the day on something else such as work or studies. Simply because there isn't enough time to do both to a satisfying degree.

But it's more fun to say: Sleep isn't fun. WC3 is.

As for the whole drug thing: What hospital does NOT store drugs for painkillers or other medical use? And more to the point: What medicine isn't technically a drug? addictive or no.

I currently work during the day and study in the evenings, and I get an entirely sufficient 7 hours of sleep a day. I sleep well, too, but easy sleeping is luckily one of my gifts. Of course, I don't really have time for gaming anymore, but I generally catch an episode of whatever show or half a movie in the background while I make food or eat or whatever.

So it's possible, it just sucks.

I remember the Pick and Mix section of my local Woolworths (tis sadly closed now). So many weird and wonderful sweeties...Miles better than the rubbish pick and mix you get in cinemas these days.

Does anyone else remember a rather obscure sweet/chocolate thing called Terry's Pyramint? It was roughly the same size as a Chocolate Orange, made out of thin dark chocoloate and packed to the gills with mint cream....Diabetic comas have never been so delicious. ^_^

If by this you mean how much is needed, about 7-8 hours. If you mean how much a typical college student actually gets, it's either 2-3 hours or you add 10 to that figure.

Note the "to a satisfying degree" a episode or movie in total (1-2 hours?) doesn't seem all that satisfying to me. Especially coupled with your conclusion that it does indeed suck, even if it can be done.

MY DEBATE CLASS PAYS OFF!

...I also agree with Succubus. either 3-4 or 12-14 xD

I don't know what that is but I'm already drooling..

Alas, the Australian Woolworths bears no relation to our dear, departed Woolies. It's one of their two main supermarket chains.

Heh. You get used to different levels of satisfying. Perils of putting on the big boy pants, I suppose. And if we're still talking sleep, I've mentioned that I generally get proper rest even with such a full day. Maybe it's just me, and I'm just lucky. Also, I study two days on, one day off, so that day off I can usually catch up with my fun, doing whatever. Used to be hanging out with the girlfriend, but heh.

Anyway, the one thing I learned from having to live like an adult: it generally sucks.
