All Night Long!

Lately, my sleep schedules been off. Last night was the worst, but it's still been pretty bad lately. I'm usually up until 4:00 or 5:00. Not complaining, really. I don't mind being nocturnal. It's just not the "norm." Usually, I don't intentionally try to follow the norm, but for some reason, being up ridiculously late just isn't fun when you are the only one up and you read things like Dracula and watch scary movies all the time and you like to go for walks around the block, but it's three in the morning and you're just out of running distance of the house and you can hear cracking in the woods that are twelve feet away.

Admittedly, the sound is just a squirrel pitter-pattering about. Or a doe, foraging for the leafy goodness under the snow. But in my mind, it's a deranged mutant lemur with one eye and thirst for human blood. And I'm just not ready to die. There's only one way to fix this problem: I must readjust to a -eyeroll- normal sleep schedule. This way, I can thoroughly enjoy a walk, because deranged mutant lemurs are nocturnal, I'm sure.

So I have the cure! I'm pulling an all-nighter. I'll stay up all night, and all day tomorrow, and go to bed at a decent time! To do this, I've done a few things. First, I located several cans of Mountain Dew. This may seem like a small thing, but to me, it's huge, because I love caffeine, and I know that at around 6 am or so, I'm going to say, "Meh...so sleeeeepy" and pass out on the couch. Secondly, I dug out my old Game Boy Color. Yeah, you remember those things. Four buttons (A, B, Start and Select) and a directional pad with a screen that doesn't glow and is actually battery operated...and you have to change the batteries! Along with that, I found my Pokemon Blue cartridge. Third, I invited a couple friends along. I've got here my buddies Matt and Derek, and we're just gonna nerd it up tonight with our Mountain Dew and our Pokemon.

It's a Blast From the Past!!

We do have to be quiet and sneaky, though. My landlord has to get up at 6:30 to get around for work, and he would not be pleased to hear a bunch of yelling and giddy laughter several hours before he has to crawl out of bed.

Anyway, I'll probably randomly update this entry from time to time if anything fun actually happens. I'm gonna go for now though...'cuz I just got me a Squirtle. And he's all turtle-y and cute.

:D

UPDATE!: So, yeah. I started with a Squirtle (I name him Torty...just because..). And now I have a Nidoran(male) and a Nidoran(female) and a Paras. I love Paras. They're just so...mushroom-y and fun and stuff. Anyway, I totally destroyed Brock. Okay, it was easy...because I had Torty the Squirtle and he's all like "IMMA SHOOT BUBBLES AT CHOO!!" and Onyx was all like "I...am...so...not immune to bubbles. Or general hygiene in and of itself!" And then I got the Boulder Badge, told Brock how much of a loser he was, and left. Oh yeah, and Matt wanted me to mention that Brock also has a Geodude...but Geodude wasn't really worth mentioning, so it's whatever. Now I'm in Mt. Moon, pwnin' da Zubats. FTW.

UPDATE! (v. 2.0): Hey, what's up, guys!? Rockin' out to some Pokemon with Pete! It's Matt, btw. Hehe, yeah, we just heard this whole shebang about Power Rangers from Derek...what a nerd. Haha, I can't say much 'cause Pete and I are worse with our Pokemon and DragonBall Z...and then there's my love for MORTAL KOMBAT!! ;) So, in about 3 hours Pete and I are gonna duel it out at some DBZ and probably start yelling at each other hahahaha. I can just see it now! 

Pete: "You're going down, Matt!!" 

Matt: "I don't think so! I'll kick your butt!" 

Pete: "Hi-ya!! Take that!" 

Matt: "I hate you!!" -Matt mashes Pete's buttons on his controller to make him mess up- 

Yeah, that's right; I just went 3rd grade on him! Bwahaha! :)

UPDATE! (...again): Okay. Pete here. I just wanted to let you know that, even after I kinda dissed Geodude earlier...I caught one. But I don't love him. Nope. He's not that cool. In fact, the game said "Do you want to give your GEODUDE (because it always capitalizes names for some reason) a nickname?" And I said, "Yes." I named him "Meh...". Yes. "Meh," followed by an ellipses. So every time the game mentions him during a battle, it sounds really unenthusiastic. "Meh...grew to level 12." Torty has now evolved, by the way, into a Wartortle. Also, I caught a Paras. And I do love him...because he's not a Geodude.

UPDATE!: IIIII caught a Mew. That is all.

I'm afraid my inner-nerd showed. A lot. But I think I did manage to fix that darned sleep schedule, so it was worth it!

I have to say, I never pictured you as a gamer. So you're living off campus now? That rocks! (this is Jess, btw... in case you thought I was some random stalker :D)
