Naps make me groggy now. I used to be able to have a refreshing nap back in college, but now it's like waking up with my veins filled with black strap mollasses.
Oh, I'm gonna go to the special hell.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Speaking 80's nostalgia (in Movies), this may just be the perfect summer TV show.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, that page earwormed me with Britney, which is confusing.
Oh -- that reminds me of the best anthology albums ever -- "Now That's What I Call Music" -- except not the recent ones. British ones from the 80s. I miss them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Man, I've never been a napper, unless I REALLY need it. Maybe twice in college, and then when I've been pretty sick, but other than that, I'm just awake. I enjoy a nice rest, though.

I've discovered the 20 minute zone out snaps me out of a bad mood, mostly. It has to be on a bed, and it looks like a nap, but it never quite gets to sleep. I just get so heavy it feels like I'm weighted to the bed and I get all relaxed. The only thing is, if something startles me, it really knocks me into hyperaware. The cat meows and I am Really AWAKE.

I nap in front of the TV all the time. Mutant X is especially good for that.

Yeah, that's about as far as I ever go, nap-wise. That's how I knew I was sick when I had that not-quite-the-flu thing -- I kept falling asleep in the middle of the day!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Have women here experienced making eye contact as a better preventative measure than not? Does not looking the weird guy in the eye encourage him to come in closer?
I don't tend to walk down the street looking people in the eye, but if someone says something to me that I don't like then looking them in the eye is going to be more preventative than anything I could say. It seems that If I'm angry, my eyes become quite the deterrent to further provocation. I once had a boss scamper away and avoid me after I shot him "the look."

Now tagless for your comfort.
Lyra Jane, that sucks. Much job-ma to you.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Napping usually makes me feel worse than before. I have yet to figure out the magic formula that results in it actually helping.
