Kate and Robin should check out Caetano's fantastic book about the Tropicalia movement.

If I only had a brain...

I find myself clutching the alarm clock, eyes swollen, hair askew, and frantically saying, "I CAN'T READ!!!"

I've done this. I've also demanded at the top of my lungs why the sun hasn't come up yet.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

bon bon, is your work place dress code business casual, and if so, what does that mean where you work?

Yes. No jeans. Men must wear collared shirts. Everything clean and unwrinkled.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Thanks!

Try not being a morning person and having to avoid consuming a lot of caffeine (defined as my old habit of two diet sodas per day) for medical reasons.

(Checks)

(Raises hand)

That'd be me. Though my habit was more like 5-6 cups of coffee (where cup = that huge size on Cafe Press) + 2-3 diet sodas per day.

a lot of caffeine (defined as my old habit of two diet sodas per day)

Piker.

Trust me, I know. That was down from two double espressos and a regular soda per day at work, mind you, but for my system, it was apparently still too much.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

My standard morning routine involves checking e-mail, getting up to date on four or five sites, watching an "hour" of TV, a long shower, and breakfast.

This is me, except the first stop is the espresso machine. (Easier and faster than regular coffee, surprisingly enough). And substitute dog walk for breakfast.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

My standard morning routine: hit the snooze button for a good 45 minutes. Lay in bed with cat for 15. Bathroom duties. Dress/hair/makeup. Put pre-made lunch and breakfast in bag. Go to work. I have no extraneous time for anything else.

There's a 6 am??? Or is that just another word for fuck-o-clock-in-the-morning?

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Loves me some Jessica.

I find myself clutching the alarm clock, eyes swollen, hair askew, and frantically saying, "I CAN'T READ!!!"

Loves me some shrift, too.

Give us your address so we can come over.

No. Of course, some of you already have my address, so now I have to move. Thanks a bunch, ita.

I've also demanded at the top of my lungs why the sun hasn't come up yet.

Lack of morning compatibility runs in the family. My sister will call me and demand, "AM OR PM?!" My brother, however, isn't capable of speech when he wakes up.

Which reminds me of the time I woke up and actually couldn't speak. I tried, and it came out gibberish. Like I'd suffered a stroke. Ah, that was such a pleasant morning...
