@Aisukohi: That's fair. I'm the same way if it's aggressive turbulence. Or if the pilot turns off and on the seatbelt sign a lot. that little ding wakes me up.

Past Event Stories!

Reminisce a little bit!

For Vibrance Day 2022, we tried this game for the first time with some great success!
The first time ever that bunnies gathered, it was (a) really small one and they ate many pineapples. The pineapples made wonderful snacks! The bunnies had decided that they needed more pineapples, so they went to the Elder Rabit and asked where they needed to go. So Then they were going to the Magic Forrest of the Wood Nymphs’ Abode because there are plenty of kiwis to happily munch on. The Nymphs waited calmly as the bunnies rolled around and hopped in front of someone’s barn. Suddenly, thirty orcs jumped with great enthusiasm and height when they saw three of the bunnies. Surprisingly, these bunnies didn’t have enough speed to get a kiwi from the Giant Kiwi. The Giant Kiwi(...)
I guess they didn't want pineapple anymore! Kiwi was preferred!

Then, for our Anniversary party 2022, our story was short, but sweet!
Every Voltie likes to spend time with their loveliest eggs which are hatching into the most scintillating ducks and wherever you go, you (are) devastatingly silly and fresh! However, coffee with midnight is bizarrely terrible when Volties transform into amazing Egg(s) that sparkle with salt, with sprinkles, and chocolate peeps.

What a silly, yet almost intimidating warning!

Unfortunately during the Reaping Ritual 2022 i was so busy gathering evidence that i forgot to start us off with our story! I'm sure it would have been a good one too though!

Brunch got a little out of hand, but it think it was handled well during the Anniversary this year!
Brunch with friends started at noon, but someone was throwing their party and disturbed the entire diner. So I spoke to the manager and they told that party to calm down. The nose on my face twitched, I couldn't believe that some public defenders would say (that) who the patrons were, meant to do something like that. Just eat the toast! Nobody knows just what they were trying to do, but... 🤷‍♂️


stories have been edited for minor grammar issues (added a word or two to make it easier to read) and some punctuation (to separate sentences so it wasn't just a big ol' run on sentence!

It's EVENT TIME!!!! You know what that means!!! My favorite game to play: Story time!!! Lets make a story, one word at a time! This could get Crazy and have unusual results!

Rules are easy! Post one word that goes with the post/posts before yours to help create a story!

Example:

person 1: Once
Person 2: upon
person 3: a
person 4: Starry
person 2: night
person 4: there
person 1: was
person 4: ten
Person 3: spicy
person 5: Chickens
Person 1: The
Person 5: first
person 6: Chicken
person 5: was
...
And so on and so forth!

@Ruby: I'm the same way. I think there are a lot of people actually that are just wired to be night owls. I know my hubs and i are definitely a couple of them. I wish people were more accepting of night owls though and that more stores were open 24 hours. I've been telling him for years that there just needs to be like neighborhoods/cities that just ran with reversed hours for the night shift workers and for those who just naturally function better at night.
Yeah, i've been having fun. It's nice because i get to play a game with my husband and his friends, and that doesn't happen often.

@Ark: Ironically when i was in college i never pulled all nighters.


@Aisukohi: yeah it was a rough week for sure. I totally forgot we bonded over living in Idaho XD I usually end up pulling all nighters before i fly because i usually an too excited to sleep before i fly. And cause i like to sleep on the plane. makes the flight seem shorter.


@macsen191: oh man i've heard so many people say they do weird things on Ambien and not remember any of it. That would freak me out. It definitely makes me glad i don't have insomnia.

@Count Trashula: oh i am, thankfully! it's interesting that Benadryl does that to you. I know that if i take benadryl i need to be ready to sleep a full 8 hours because it knocks me out. Did you ever tell your doctor about how it affected you? And have you had a sleep study done to see what's going on when you sleep?


@Alchemists Fire: It's hard to make it that long if you're not used to being tired anyways. I think that's a big reason why i was able to stay awake for so long- i have chronic fatigue so i always feel tired and have to ignore it most days. I did start to get a little loopy at the end of the time i was awake though.

like seriously, once you find out how long you're gonna say wow. And wonder why/ how. Well, I've been up for the past approximately 60 hours. So Since Wednesday evening at around 5:30 pm. I had a migraine last friday, so i slept a ton, was up for only a couple hours saturday before getting another headache, so i slept it off, then same thing sunday. Monday i WAS feeling better until my MIL decided to spray a bunch of super strong cologne, triggering yet another migraine, so i slept some more, and then Tuesday i had a mild headache, which those still make me tired enough to sleep, so i slept some more, and then tuesday night i probably got up around 10:30, was up for about 6 hours before i had ANOTHER headache! So i went back to bed and slept about 12 hours, and then i felt good when i woke up. I wasn't tired thursday morning when i should have been, so i just stayed up and talked to my sister most of the day, and then last night my husband asked me to go to bed when he went to bed, thinking i was tired. So i went and layed in bed for about 3 hours before getting tired of it and getting up to go play more Cobblemon (it's what replaced Pixelmon, in case you were wondering, and if that didn't clear it up, it's basically a public modded minecraft server with pokemon! We've been playing that a lot actually.) So then i decided that since i was up anyways, i'd make a bingo hall, and that's all i've really done the last couple days. Now i'm Definitely ready for sleep.

Also, fun fact- you can never physically sleep too much, but it's easy to get into sleep debt where you haven't slept enough. You always only sleep the amount you need unless you have a sleeping disorder!

What's the longest you've ever stayed awake? And did you do it willingly or because of a friend or an event? For me, this is the longest i've gone without sleep. Surprisingly, no headaches because of it! Before this, i had made it to about 36 hours for a charity fund raiser event when i was 19. It was a lot easier to pull an all nighter when i was younger, that's for sure.

Okay i'm going to sleep. I'll be on later today, like this evening.
