Is anyone around?

vw, I'm sort-of here.

Why are you awake? You should be sleeping and having pleasant dreams now (not that I don't like 'seeing' you, of course!).

Nilly! How wonderful to see you!

I couldn't sleep, so I decided to get up and get some work done. I just finished my paper for my third incomplete! It's been e-mailed to the professor, and IT'S DONE! YAY!!!!!!!!

I just had to share with someone. I'm so glad it's you :)

VW! Yay you!

And you did it as a surprise to yourself, as well, what with sneaking up on yourself in the middle of the night and showing you what you could do! That's awesome.

If you're not sleepy now, I vote for you doing something that spoils you. You've earned it. Hot chocolate and a fun already-beloved book/movie?

Congratulations, vw!!!!! Finished papers are AWESOME.

Hi, Nilly!

I'm debating walking over and practicing piano right now (in the (detached) customer service building for my apartment). I like going now, or at least late at night, not usually this late though, because there's no one around to listen to you practice, so there's no pressure, and you can make as many mistakes as you like. And my teacher has decided that she wants to institute something new in class tomorrow, where she'll randomly call one of us to play one of the pieces we've been working on for the rest of the class. Also known as torture. Actually, I think I've just talked myself into practicing. Sleep is for wusses. Thanks, guys!

Well, I had wanted to have it done on Monday, so at this point it's just good that it's done. But some hot chocolate does sound good. I just might do that. I also may head back to bed for a few hours.

Go, Alibelle! Have fun practicing (and give that teacher a dirty look from all of us, k?)

Ali! Good luck with the practicing. Just take care with the walking around at night and everything, OK? t /Jewish mom, even without actually having kids, and no biological possibility of mothering anyone Ali's age

Night, vw. Hope you wake up with a big smile, because you've totally earned it.

Awww, thanks Nilly! You have a good day.

RIght now I'm trying to read an article I'm supposed to talk about in a "History and Philosophy of Science" class on Sunday. Emphasis on "trying", because most sentences in the article seem right now to me to have the same meaning as something like: "And it's fair, as well as spicy, which means yesterday followed. This brings us to the conclusion that 17." - I think I understand each of the words, and the ones connecting them, but the sentence itself makes no sense at all.

Hey, last night before logging off, I warned you that I may be whiney, and now I follow through.

Nilly, I am also whiney, because I am terribly ill unto death, or possibly have a mild head cold. Okay, I have a stuffy nose. Still? I am so whiney.

"And it's fair, as well as spicy, which means yesterday followed. This brings us to the conclusion that 17."
