1. adrenalin
Hi KiWi :hi:
I went to a DU meetup tonight and got back two hours ago and it's 2:35 and can't sleep yet...

that's why, I'm still half buzzed and loopy as always...

3. I've always been a night owl--
even as a kid. I'm wired weird. I have no use at all for daytime hours. 9:00 in the morning, is the middle of the night for me. I'm happiest in the middle of the night.

11. Mom?
I'm a night person.

I could easily stay up all night reading, watching movies, news-cruising the internet.

And then sleep all day.

23. had to 'go'
Then my mind turned on and I couldn't slide back into dreamland. I don't have to go out for bagels until 7:30 and church isn't until 10... So I'm just drinking coffee and browsing around the site.

29. I was up at 6:30 am . I don't plan on going back to bed..
If i go to bed around midnite or 1am getting up at 6:30 or so is normal for me. The navy taught me how to do that. Always early early mornings in the navy...

I am meeting a DUer today in New Haven, speaking of meetups. I will be the first DUer he has met. There is this huge goth festival all weekend in New Haven and we are meeting at some "goth picnic" on the new haven green. I figured we would combine shooting the shit with people watching. He doesn't even like goth and i could take it or leave it these days but it will be fun for a few hours..

:hi:

40. wish I'd known about the festival yesterday
New Haven would have been a great ride cause I couldn't ask for any better weather.

I know you'll have fun meeting another DUer today, maybe you can talk him into meeting more of us in D. C.

50. then ... it's really great you two can get together today
maybe we should plan a mid-week meet-up for the DUers who are never off on the weekends ... that could be lots of fun ... I'm sure there must be DUers who would come ... like the teachers who have the summer off

and go to sleep?

If he wasn't so darn cute, he'd be in serious jeopardy.

I happened to go during a stretch when the temps did not dip below 100 for over 3 weeks...I believe it is called July! :D

39. August is just has bad, and I wouldn't go in the water for any amount
of money. This summer has not been that hot, besides we will be on ferry going back and forth, we love to ride the ferry boat.

51. Galveston is a great place to go to nursing school, I have serval nurse
friends who live at Galveston. There really isn't that many really
decent paying jobs there, except in the medical field.

The port area pays OK but not much else.

I move there in a minute if I could.

I think there is a medical school at Galveston to.

Galveston has open beaches, at least for now, so it is a great place for families to go for day trips.

62. My dog started howling about an hour ago while I was
trying to get to sleep. Damn, he just started again.

I think a possum or something must be hanging around outside.

Now, I'm wide awake.
