*headdesk*
I don't understand why I am awake. I went to bed (relatively) early, at just before six...and now here I am, awake for the past hour or more and not able to fall back asleep. And I have things that I need to do!
*pounds head on nearest hard surface*
In other news...I was messing around with numbers the other day...writing out binary numbers, figuring out the way other numbering systems might work (like base five, for example) I don't know if I did it right, but from my understanding of numbers I did...and just for the record, you have to start making up digits if you do anything above base ten...I tried a little of base twelve, and yeah...if I am remembering random useless trivia correctly the Ancient Babylonians (sp?) used base six for everything, so I was trying that one out...*shrugs* there are always some strange coincidences, but it is always interesting to see different things...for example, in base four 100 is 25, and in base five, 100 is 36 (remember, this is only if I am doing it right...). I was going up to 111 in all of the ones that I did, just to see if there were any patterns, and at first I thought there was, but then the pattern that I saw was broken, and I haven't gone far enough to get another pattern. I wanted to go all the way up to 666 (in base six, b/c that is the first one you can actually get there), but I stopped at 166, because I was tired and the only reason I was really doing any of it was because I was ripping CDs (all of my music files are either gone or locked up (I'm not sure which) on my computer because something weird happened when I reinstalled Windows, and now I can't get to any of those files (which I had been able to last time I reinstalled, so I had assumed that it would work the same this time). Fortunately, I burned all my writing files to a disc before reinstalling, so none of those were lost...I think that I might have had a mental breakdown...and possibly a psychotic break...if I'd lost those.
Anyway, I am going to try to go back to bed...I hate my life sometimes...
