Yeah! Plus the dark makes me tired, but that's a normal thing in humans.

i kinda miss the days where i would easily stay up until like...3-4 am? i still sometimes do if i have a day off from work, but it's nowhere near as often these days. @[email protected]

I loved going to bed at like 8 as a kid and sleeping the whole night and being refreshed.
We sleep best at night, though!

Megan October 30th, 2021 9:52 AM

As a kid I also went to sleep at about 8 pm. Even when I was allowed to stay up longer I used to go to bed anyway and just spend an hour going into my own fantasy world.

Even nowadays I don't really stay up much longer. Well, I do need to get up earlier because work hours suck. The big difference is that my fantasy world these days is nothing more than a barren wasteland. <_<
Oh, and I have a hard time sleeping and end up waking up very often. But that's apparently very common in society. ^^"

My shift ends at midnight so it's a common occurrence for me to go to bed a bit past 1 and wake up at 10 or so these days. As a person who hates waking up early, but doesn't enjoy staying up too late either, this is kind of the best possible balance for me.

my body has gotten used to waking up around 4-5 AM these days. i can only imagine this sounds like absolute torture to you lmao

I keep waking up at 4:30am for some reason...it was 3:30am this morning since the clocks went back. I just put a compilation playlist on my iPod and dozed off until 5. xD

Happy Halloween to all who celebrate.

Halloween is also my mother's birthday, hopefully we can do something nice.

Megan October 30th, 2021 11:36 PM

Today would also be a holiday for some people. At least in those places where people celebrate the day when Martin Luther accidentally split the church into catholic and evangelic camps.

pkmin3033 October 31st, 2021 1:22 AM

Any day where you don't have to work is a holiday tbh xD

Speaking of, I have a week and a half off starting from next Tuesday! Thank god. But it's also my birthday next Sunday...sigh...

I hate them, it feels like everyone is celebrating me being closer to death. I hate it when people who completely forget about/ignore my existence decide I'm suddenly worth acknowledging just for the few seconds it takes for them to express their happiness I'm one step closer to death as well >.>

...but the presents are nice at least.

i feel like birthday are kinda meaningless to me these days. i think after a specific point, birthdays are just the same as regular days and only remind you of how old you're getting and that's it u_u ...maybe that's too cynical of a view.

I don't really celebrate mine.

Caite-chan October 31st, 2021 11:17 AM

I try to celebrate mine but no one ever seems to be around to do anything. I mean I almost didn't make it as a baby and for my 26th birthday I had my pacemaker put in.

Nah October 31st, 2021 12:02 PM

I can't say I have much fondness for my own birthdays anymore either. When you're a kid, there's still "milestones" to hit in age, the novelty's not worn off yet, and you can't wait to grow up and become an adult.

And then you become an adult, find out it's not what you thought it would be, find out the world sucks, and have no new milestones to hit. Each passing year kind of just ends up feeling like another chapter in the slow march towards a body that doesn't function well and eventually death.

And even if you try to view them through the lens of celebrating the existence of someone, what is there to celebrate exactly? I'm not worth anything.

colours October 31st, 2021 3:18 PM

i suppose 30 is another milestone... sorta. and every decade after that is sort of a milestone to hit in age i think. after 50 though it's probably just whatever at that point.

pkmin3033 November 1st, 2021 9:52 AM

I can't see myself hitting 40, never mind 50. Although that said I couldn't see myself hitting 30 either, and I wasn't expected to see 20 when I was 15. So who knows. Thinking that far ahead into the future isn't something I am particularly good at, haha.

colours November 1st, 2021 10:46 AM

i can't see myself being old, period. ><; it's so hard imagining myself being an old person...

pkmin3033 November 1st, 2021 11:35 AM

I used to think 30 was old…

colours November 1st, 2021 11:45 AM

idk how to feel about 30. im mostly pressured and stressed because i feel like it's the age where i should Figure Out Shit about my life and make significant progress by then, but with the way my life is going... @[email protected] i can only hope i'll get out of my funk of a life by the time i'm 30.

ZeoStar November 1st, 2021 2:58 PM

I turned 21 over the summer. I was lame enough to order a lemonade instead of alcohol that night.

I tried alcohol later that week while running supplies for the bartender. It didn't appeal to me and I switched back over to water.

colours November 1st, 2021 3:23 PM

i rarely drink alcohol. i mostly stick to wine if anything, and only on special occasions.

Sothis November 3rd, 2021 10:47 AM

Alcoholism runs in my family so I avoid it.
If you use twitter, people call you a boomer at 30. I just ignore it.
