Yesterday I shot the moon
After spending Christmas Day with the Ritis (Thank you!), I stayed up all night watching movies. In the Army I will have to wake up at 4:30am. I'd been going to bed lately around that time, so the only way to realign my circadian rhythms would be to shoot the moon, so I did. I woke up Christmas Day around 1, and didn't sleep so much as a nap until I went to bed 8:30 the evening of the 26th (yesterday). It was neat. It worked, too. I got up today at 5. I'll shoot for 4 tomorrow. I may even aim for earlier eventually, so that 4:30 will feel like sleeping in.
As a result of my sleep experimentation, I found this silliness at 7:30 am through two degrees of randomness.
Silliness...
It reminded me of when I was back in middle school and I got an email from some site, I believe it was called CrushLink.com or somesuch. It said "Someone has a crush on you. Put in the name and email address of who you think it is, and we'll tell you if you're right." So I did. I put in every name and email address I knew. I was young, and so in love with the concept of love that I didn't stop for one second to think that it was any less than genuine.
Nevertheless, when no names hit, I gladly took them up on their offer to "Fill out these exciting offers to receive clues as to your crush's name!"
So I did. All of them. The clues were like "Your crush's name has 'x' number of letters in their first name/last name" or "their first/last name starts with [whatever]." Only after going through the permutations, and looking up in the school directory for last names that started with [whatever] with 'x' letters in them and discovering that no such names existed did I realize I'd been had. And it sucked. Just goes to show you what I'd do for the mere concept of love, even as a small child. Now that I'm all grown up, I'll just drive a guy to Canada if there's a chance someone up there loves him. (P.S. If you knew me in middle school and got an email from CrushLink.com, that's probably my bad. Sorry.)
