OT: All of a sudden it hit me...I HAVE NO LIFE!

Deej · February 27, 2004, 05:03:43 AM

So, I'm on an Admin leave from work until the 15th. My girlfriend and her son are in Colorado for the week, my brother,while nominally a resident in my house, has a real life, and my nephew has school.....and, again, a life.

So, basically, I've been coming to this site about 5 times an hour, often just staring blankly at the screen. Posted some replies...stared at the screen some more. Checked on some posts dating back to 7/03....stared some more. I got off the computer for about 5 seconds to get a beverage, this afternoon, and my nephew got on to check mail. No big deal, I can find something to occupy 5 minutes of my time. Nope. I kept walking into and out of the room where we keep our computer. The bastard started playing MAHJONG!! Once I walked past the room and into the bathroom...before I realized I didn't have to use the bathroom. Finally he got off the computer and went on with his life. I acted non-chalant for about 5 seconds and jumped back on. Been on here, pretty steady, since then.

Nothing to do!!! Insomnia!!! The turn around on Netflix...TOO SLOW...tried Blockbuster....stormed out in a rage due to lack of Billy Jack movies!!Seen everything on TCM this week.....TWICE!!

I have friends...honest...real live human ones(whom I've neither bribed, threatened or in any other way negatively influenced) but they have jobs and families. The dogs won't come near me unless I'm holding food-stuffs.

Wearing same dirty Dropkick Murphys shirt since monday(this could explain the Dog thing). No "Ben & Jerry's: Everything But The Ice Cream " left anywhere in this whole damned town!!! Sent form letters to Senators and US Representatives calling for impeachment of Bush...and form letters saying I think Bush is doing a swell job...used the same name and address on every letter.....the thrill wore off of that bit of civil chicanery pretty fast. Tried on old USMC uniforms....didn't fit...did "Fat Guy in a Little coat" with my Alpha Jacket, the dogs weren't amused!!

I'm running out of crap to do, and I have more than 2 weeks to go!!! Set up 2 new email addresses just to see if that girl who keeps trying to sell me Viagra, really DID see me in a chat room! Onset of severe internet-porn addiction..IMMINENT!!
Basically I'm writing this post because....since I'm here anyway...might as well be typing....right?

BTW. This board is really lonely between the hours of Midnight and 4amCST...if you could pick up on the activity for the next 2 weeks ....greatly appreciate it!

Y'know, Deej, I'm usually up and on the boards at this time of night too, with exactly the same problem you have (every one of my live human friends here at college has early classes/work except me). I keep stopping by once every 10 minutes or less hoping there's something that will keep me busy for 2 seconds so I can put off going to bed that much longer. Like I'm doing right now. It's just you and me, man.

Ah, bugger! It's been ten minutes and even Deej hasn't responded! It's just me and my Fear Factory CD. I'm alone! ALOOOOONE *echoes through the vast empty caverns of the universe*
Oh, hey there, Nyarlathotep... CRUNCH

It's good not to be the only one, Brother R! Here are some suggestions for online "Chunky Goodness" for when the insomnia kicks in. Taking a cue from one of Andrews banners, I looked up a recipe for cat, slow cooked with Guinness. Everything's better with Guinness.

Also if you have AOL. you can tune into the TV Tunes radio station and listen to non-stop TV themes...IN-f**kIN-VIGORATING!!! Visit different news sites and check out the chat-rooms and message boards for various hot-topic news items(Gay marriage, the war, the election...so on) after reading the posts and replies you will: A) feel overwhelming sadness at the state of American Diction. B) Leave feeling enormously superior. I chose B.

Brother Ragnarok · February 27, 2004, 06:01:29 AM

I always feel enormously superior. Do you have AOL messenger?

Brother R

Deej · February 27, 2004, 06:06:12 AM

I do have AOL messenger...soundnfury0675...And Yahoo messenger...screwface675...feel free to contact me anytime..I'LL BE AWAKE....I also have the keys to my parents house, and I know where they keep the liquor...we can have a party and invite girls..and have pie!!!

Play some computer games. Once you get involved in the game, it's easy to end up spending the entire night at it. If playing single player isn't to your liking, go online and blow away some strangers in a multiplayer deathmatch. With first person shooters, real time strategy, turn based strategy, action, adventure, puzzle, traditional etc. games, you should be able to find something to hold your interest. Or if you don't like today's games, download some emulators and you can pretty much play anything from the Atari 2600 through the Super Nintendo and even some from the later systems like the N64 and Playstation, not to mention old computer systems.

Yeah, I have no life either...

I am up all hours, but always trying to get something done. Today I took a day of leave, but I'm going to be answering email and also carting my tablesaw to Sears (the movers demolished it) for a "we cannot repair that' answer that I can send in.

And, yes, having a little one is not helping keep my schedule under control. "Hey! It is 0300 and I'm awake mom and dad! But you can do little more than watch me, because I've become half mobile and am really interested in everything I can get my hands on!"

odinn7 · February 27, 2004, 11:08:59 AM

Yeah, I'd love to reply to you guys to give you something to do but alas, I have a life... ;-)

Ash · February 27, 2004, 04:14:04 PM

I too have gone through those late night sessions where there is nothing on TV but crappy infomercials and I come back to this board every 10 minutes to see that no one has posted anything.

Did it just the other night in fact....I didn't go to bed until almost 5 am.

Sigh....

Neon Noodle · February 27, 2004, 08:23:29 PM

I've actually gotten giddy when I monitor the board sometimes - it's like "ooh, another post! awesome!"

then again, I also get excited when dance dance revolution machines pop up near my home....I truly have no life 8^)

That's cold.... Nice!

Note:
I have one life for sale. Cheap.

I could use a little less to do.

Mr_Vindictive · February 28, 2004, 09:52:08 AM

Yeah, I too get quite excited when there is a new post on the board. Shows just how much I do at work.

BTW Neon, it is starting to scare me how much we are alike. Dance Dance Revolution, Japanese Films, tech jobs......are you my long lost brother!?

LOL

Hey, if Tom Green is allowed to make a movie, I guess anything is possible....

odinn7 · February 28, 2004, 11:25:51 AM

Seriously, since I found this message board, I check here way too often to see if anything is new.
