sometimes I get "Oh Fortuna!" blasting me out of bed in the morning
That would be hilarious if I weren't the one being woken up (if I were, it would be extremely jarring).
I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.

I don't understand the snooze alarm. My mind gets stuck at, "if you like/need the sleep, why not set for the latest time possible and just get up rather than dealing with that @!$&#@ alarm noise and interrupted sleep more than once?"
If I have to be up at a certain time, the regular alarm is set for 20 minutes before that, because I absolutely need two snooze cycles to come out of regular sleep and start being aware enough to actually get out of bed. I've tried getting up as soon as the alarm goes off, and it goes poorly.
Our alarm is KEXP, the alarm on my phone for when I travel is Dr. Death Defying's opening speech from MCR's Danger Days album.

Last night I took a Benadryl and had some fairly restful sleep -- noticing that I haven't had the urge to take any Tylenol today so far! But I'm a severl-times-per-night waker these days, and usually see the sunrise even when I have nowhere to go or be.
It's nice to be rested. I should try it more often.

Vortex is that for L? I don't know who her other bridesmaids are but it sounds right to me!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds awesome, Vortex! If it's a bridesmaid thing, I'm afraid color trumps font.
I always feel like the latest possible time for getting up can be pushed back a little bit.

I have my radio as the alarm and I generally get up for it. I don't use snooze, but there's an alarm on my phone, which is next to the radio, set for half an hour later, the latest time I can get up and get everything done before leaving for work. So some mornings I slap the radio quiet and settle down for a nice half hour's sleep.

Vortex is that for L?
Yes! It's just me and J for dress shopping, so only we get prezzies. Bad Wolf for me, Caffinate for J, and Nevertheless for L. Yes, it's extra, but have you met me?

Gary's alarm is just a buzz. On the occasion that I need it(Gary's away, I have to get up earlier than usual)my alarm is the local classic rock station. I always get up when the alarm goes off since my brain won't let me ignore it.

That sounds brilliant, Vortex.

I'm very glad I picked this apartment complex. Yes, the fixtures are out of date, but they maintain the shit out of this place. The first summer I was here, they resurfaced the parking lot. The next summer, they replaced the roofs on all the buildings. This summer they're painting the exteriors. This past winter, they resurfaced the swimming pool (which I've never used, because it's always packed with kids). If I put a call in for something, it's dealt with. There are quarterly inspections for leaks (and for a glance around the place, I'm sure, but I don't have anything out that I won't admit to). Rent increases have been reasonable, and I'm happy to be here.
