Unusual Sleep Patterns

Sadly, my other major accomplishment for today is that I didn’t lie back down and take a nap. I’m not the most motivated person, and between that and the fact that I don’t have office hours or anything, I’ve fallen into bizarre sleep patterns.

My inner clock is totally mixed up. I mean, it’s set normally for my body; but the problem is that my body doesn’t like anything like a normal time system. I’ve been up till 4 am the last few nights. Wake back up between 12 and 1 pm. I’m quite rested and all, but the problem is that between my odd schedule and the fact that it’s summer in the UP, I really have no sense what time it actually is. Could be 8 pm. Could be 2 am. No clue.

There’s no real problem with that I guess, since no one cares when I’m awake or what I’m doing. Hell, I’m not sure that anyone would notice one way or the other. I had been spending a lot of time chatting in IRC in the Blogshares channel, but apparently my point of view isn’t meshing with the people in power, so I’ve stopped going there and I’m selling off all my “assets” in the game. The whole series of events has reminded me how territorial the female gender can be. I’m only keeping a handful of things that have sentimental sorts of value—my own blogs and my ideas in the Lord of the Rings industry. Everything else I’ve sold off. I can’t get rid of artefacts, so I’m stuck with those. I wouldn’t sell off the LOTR artefact anyway. Who would sell “The One Ring”?

It was an interesting experiment while it all lasted. I enjoyed chatting with smart people who understood the nerdy things about technology. I guess I missed MOOs more than I thought. But it’s all over now, Baby Blue.
