    Something really awesome to do when you haven't slept for almost a day, but aren't tired is reading (or probably watching a film or something). You really figure out how everything makes sense. And how the author hid a lot of weird references all over the book to the awesomely scary revelation that's going to happen in the next chapter.

    The revelation never happens and if you read until when it was supposed to happen while tired, you start hating the author and figure out that you're going to write a better book yourself. But by then you've forgotten how you made sense out of your thoughts and what really was scary about the revelation that didn't happen, so it's too late.

    As much as I agree with you, instead of hating the author, what I do is that I wake up a few hours later with an open book in my face. I'm also completely unable to remember ever having read the last twenty or so pages of the book.

    The longest I've gone without sleep is a measly 48 hours, during which time I felt surprisingly spry and awake until my head touched the pillow which had me fall asleep instantly.

    I think it has something to do with the subconscious mind going to the forefront. I end up drawing some of my best illustrations when I'm not sleeping, but I've actually got insomnia. I sleep sometimes, but it's not a restful sleep, which makes me consider staying awake to increase productivity...though I hardly do more than lay in bed and think about how much I'd like to sleep.

    Shame on you, you're just another mortal. If you could draw good illustrations while sleeping, you'd be awesome.

    Edit=So what happened with Gross and Tel's avatars? In the end Frigo got one and they didn't.

    Yeah, but she also quoted your improper use of the word "morale," causing it to make me laugh at your folly every time I see the quote.

    Oh, wow, that is right, I have typo-ed. For this grave offense to the community, I will consider sharing (communism) any pictures I may receive with the community. Except Philes.

    But of course!

    Also, I have no suggestions of avatars or title content to add to this thread.

    The half-life of your usefulness is exceedingly short.

    Just be sure to remember the guy stuck in the desert. A long long way from any beautiful women.*


    *Okay, that last bit isn't entirely true. There are two smokin hot female pilots in my company.

    Enlisted male + Commissioned female = Big trouble

    One of them is not only an officer, but is married and is my commander. The other one I have a lot in common with, and I'm pretty sure there's a mutual interest, but that's not a risk I'm willing to take. And she's got a lot more to lose than I do.
