So I get home from class after 5, and take a nap. I wake up and hour and a half later. I fall back asleep, wake up at 8:30. I accidentally fall asleep for another few minutes, wake up... and it's 10:07. What is time and why does it hate me?

Wow, you must have really needed the sleep!


Yeah, not a fan of earhquakes. I live where the ground is pretty solid.
These were my first ones and now that I have experienced them once, my curiosity is satisfied and I don't need any that are stronger than what we've already had!

So... I was trying to get to sleep, and I had "most best" running through my head. This list of rhymes happened.

Most best
Most vest
Most fest
Most jest
Most chest
Most guest
Most rest
Most nest
Most pest
Most quest
Most test

I could totally imagine this being how Sigrun describes everything...

Im tired ok. It's midnight. This seems totally sane to me now, but I'm probably just going crazy from lack of sleep.

Spoiler: weird joke that only I will understand • show
*Sigrun looks at sword art online* "most incest."

You always seem to be waking up in the afternoon over on the Good Morning thread. I guess we know why now?

Possibly this, which is something I've struggled with my whole life?

Er... yes? But on normal days I'm actually super tired at 4 AM. When school's out I'll be going to bed a looot earlier :P

I've looked at that before, but as long as it's after midnight, I don't actually have a problem falling asleep. Heck, sometimes it's 5 or 6 AM and my body refuses to fall asleep...

Well as if to give me more to post about on this thread, my sister just micro-waved a potato, in spite of us telling her not to do that about as often as we have told her to stand up straight.
Guess who had to clean up the potato war-head mess in the microwave?
You might be interested in getting her/yourself a microwave steamer dish (which prepares potatoes just fine, my dad keeps buying himself and his acquaintances these things for only that purpose).

Microwaving potatoes can in fact be a quick way to cook them, if you do it right (lower power level, longer time, and put the potatoes in something with a lid just in case).

I've actually never had a microwaved potato explode on me. If you just stab it with a fork a few times then internal pressure can just be released as steam slowly while it cooks.

^ That's the method that's worked for me in the past, though I tend to keep all microwaved food covered lightly in case of explosion.

my parents bought a special cloth baggie just for cooking potatoes in the microwave. I can't remember where though.
