Friends Cut

If you can't see this entry, then I've removed you from my friends list. I would appreciate it if you could remove me from yours as well.

Let me just start by saying I hate friends cuts. I've been cut from other people's lists before, and it hurt. I had never done a friends cut up until now, but I felt a fairly substantial one was necessary. Normally I'm fairly lax about who reads my entries as I tend to keep personal issues to myself and focus on superficial, fandom-related topics instead. Recent developments in my life, however, have made me desire the use of my journal for the discussion of more personal issues, and therefore I would like to be comfortable with who has access to these entries. While I don't want to hurt anyone, I think my comfort in using my own journal should be the first priority.

Reasons You May Have Been Cut
● You don't update anymore
● Lack of common interests
● We don't typically interact or we never really 'clicked'. This is as much my fault as it is yours. For one reason or another we don't comment on each others entries, and I share a responsibility in this.

I truly wish you all the best. I feel confident in the decisions I've made, but if you feel you've been unfairly cut, you can comment here if you like. Comments will be screened.

"In his youth Mark Twain worked as a printer's apprentice but lost his job when a cow broke into the shop and ate the printing cylinders."

I did it! I did it! I did it!

Goodnight <3 I'll post a real wrap-up post later when I'm actually coherent...

"The gastric juice of a crocodile is strong enough to dissolve a tin can."

Patches (our cat) has decided to curl up next to me and is keeping me company. Maybe he can nip my fingers and toes when I start to pass out on my keyboard. I never thought I would feel this tired.

"Felix the cat ran away from its Los Angeles owner, crept aboard the baggage compartment of an airplane and travelled to London. By the time he was discovered Felix had been in the baggage compartment for nearly a month during which time the place made 64 flights."

Can't last much longer. Sorry for all the moaning and complaining but I actually feel sick to my stomach from the lack of any sleep.

I'm starting to feel really nauseous from lack of sleep. I don't know how I'll last the last hour and a half :(

I can't stop giggling. I'm still having an Arrested Development marathon and even the smallest joke is sending me into body-shaking laughter. I must be so tired it's making me crazy :P

I feel like I have nothing left to give, yet I still have to blog for just over 2 hours now. I think I'm too comfortable. The temptation to curl up and sleep is growing stronger with each passing post. I know I can stay awake, I just have nothing left to talk about until then :X

My senses feel dulled and and I feel peaceful. The sky is beginning to lighten ever so slightly outside my windows.

I've spent the last half hour or so looking through many of the other blogs participating in the Blogathon this year. It was really interesting to see how differently people set up their journals and the charities people were choosing to blog for. I was relieved to see quite a few people blogging on behalf of animal rescue organizations. All my past philanthropic efforts have been for animal shelters and charities and this is the first year I've strayed from that. I did feel a little guilty abandoning the animals, but it was re-assuring to see many others blogging for their cause.

Something else I found interesting is the fact that the night is passing so much more quickly than the daylight hours did. This will be one of the few times I've ever stayed up for 24 hours straight. During sleepovers when I was younger and even while having my infamous DVD marathons into the wee hours of the early morning, I've always managed to grab a couple of hours of sleep. I would normally curl up and sleep around this time (5:00am). The odd thing is that I felt sleepier a few hours ago than I do now. It seems that once you get past that 'hump' from around 3:00am-5:00am you're wide awake and wired again.

Instead of fousing on the negative aspects of staying up for 24 hours (i.e. That I wish I were alseep right now and that I have no creative ideas left to blog about) I've decided to make a short list of positive aspects of staying up for 24 hours and doing the Blogathon.

1) Raise money for a very worthwhile cause

2) I'll be able to watch the sun rise

3) I have time to do things I may not otherwise have free time to do during the work week (Make icons, read for an extended period of time, etc)

4) I can have a DVD marathon!

5) I'm introduced to new, interesting blogs I may not otherwise have ever read or found

Only 6 hours left in the Blogathon. I can do this!

"Octomom's Family of 14 Inks Deals for Reality Television Show" - This news makes me sick to my stomach. This woman is evil and manipulative, and I truly believe the only reason she had these children was to pimp them out in this manner. They're just little walking dollar signs to her. She obviously doesn't care about their emotional or mental welfare or she never would have had so many children to begin with. There is no way one woman can adequately care for that vast number of children. She is a disgusting human being.

Hey! That little burst of anger woke me up a little ;)

Already regretting eating those Crispers. I have the worst heart burn known to mankind.

I'm definitely starting to slow down, idea-wise. I just don't have the same motivation to put picspams and lists together :( And I still have a long way to go before 9:00am...
