Why hello you know me quite well lol

I'm in the awkward dead zone where most of my California friends have fallen asleep and my early bird northeastern friends aren't up yet. (except my roommate who works 4 am- noon yay for nice roommates)

I have 5 notebooks in my bed usually, most productive time of the day

Fwiw I sleep really well on couches, busses, airplanes... Anything that isn't a bed!

go see/hang out with click. he's only a few miles from downtown, by sdsu. you can even take the trolley right to where he's at.

I sent a message to click already, so hopefully we can figure something out! smile

instinct images (i hope i got the name right) is down there, as well. you'll probably never want to leave san diego, once you see how nice it is. smile and if you stay close to the ocean, it's very comfortable, temp-wise; even if it's scorching ten miles inland.

I actually lived out in SD for 9 years. It was ok, but my little town in mass feels like home. I'm going to be glad to head back here by the end of it, but I'm going to enjoy my mini vacation as u can!!

I hope I can sleep on the 5 hour plane ride from DC to SD; that way I can time travel backwards (I wish!) and be a time lord smile

you're preaching to the choir. although i've lived in ca for decades now, i'm still an east coast person (of non-interest).

i still say ca is a great place to visit...i just haven't ended the visit yet. smile

i know i'll expire in either ny, nj, or ct though. tri-state forever, mannnnn. smile

I'd recommend Ct. As far as I can tell, there are some real gems in terms of open space and places to live. Plus, easy car rude over to ny which is part of the point! I actually want to move to Wyoming or Montana, build a log cabin and live the rest of my days out there...

Where were you originally?

I sleep very well in moving vehicles (especially if I'm not the driver). This is especially true of a car or van when I don't trust the driver. I'm going to sleep. If we're going to have an accident, at least I won't see it coming because of all the stupid things I know they're going to do. Whenever possible, though, I drive because then if we have an accident, it'll be my fault for doing something stupid or not recognizing what some other stupid person might do.

On the flight back to PHL from LAX, I thought I'd never get there and it took half of forever. My plane took off at 7am, there was a short layover in Memphis and then a commuter plane (it may have been propeller driven) to PHL. I didn't land until about 4pm!  I said then that if I ever flew to the west coast again, I wasn't coming back.

True insomniacs don't let little things like time zones get in their way of not sleeping!!!

His inside voice. His outside voice. His feed me now Bish voice. His eff you I'm doing it anyways voice. And his woo woo woo I've missed you so much, I'm glad you're home so feed me now bish!!! Also his STFU voice when his girlfriend is annoying him by spinning and barking and chasing her tai 50 times in a row.

I have more voices than 2 but nobody wants to hear all those options so they usually just press one or two, ask for the dog or press 0 for the operator.

What do you mean try working?  I've been processing over 1,000 photos per day for the past 4 days.

At 1030/11pm, when my eyes are wonky, cross-eyed, and sore... time to stop processing

Welcome to the club! I'm  doing the same thing. Just meant to say that I'm working, which is why I'm not on here as much
