Probably the latter, considering what you think is hilarious at 2.

For you college students, I heard an interesting one from my wife's cousin. When she went to freshmen orientation, they were all told: "There are three things to do in college: study, have fun and sleep. The problem is, you can only do two of them."

Even MORE accentuated for architecture students, Anglorfin... except the fun usually gets left out and the two things to do are 'study' and 'studio'!

'sleep' and 'mooting'... oxymoron? mutually exclusive terms? Yeah - but I guess all of our lifestyles are getting that way, unfortunately... it's a societal thing, we just try to squeeze all the 'living' that we can out of our lives... and maybe end up sqeezing the lives out of ourselves.

I think rather, a part of Iluvatar's 'gift' to Men... which also symbolizes and forshadows the greater part yet to come.

Ah.. I see.

Well, don't get it in your Atan head that the Quendi do not sleep. We do. We just don't sleep as much.

Lol guys.

The myth of sleep: people are actually semi-unconscious for up to ten hours at a time!

All quiet on the 'moot. It's 1:19am PST, and I'm the only one logged on. Artanis just left.

Aham, repeat after me; there is no such thing as ‘sleep,’ there is only coffee.

Sleep is better than caffeine. For one thing, it's free.

When it's 1am for you Crick, it's the evening for me, but there's hardly anyone on. I was quite surprised one day when I went online during school time to find the number of users online at once- Americans. There aren't many Americans on at this time, unless they're doing early morning Mooting.

Oh, and today is my one year Moot anniversary. This marks one year of lack of sleep. I like sleep, I will sleep in a few minutes.

This has nothing to do with sleep, I just have to say that Elvellon's avatar always put me in a good mood!

Happy anniversary Lin! Now you should go to bed.

Wow, Lin, I had never even seen your registration date before. You only joined a month before me, but did you have over 1000 posts even then?

Happy anniversary!

I'm going to double post, and I don't care because it's my 1000th post! So there.

I just may have discovered JD's secret. (Actually, today I just discovered that by clicking on "Who's Online?" you can actually see where all the active users are. Who knew?)
More importantly, that page refreshes every five minutes or so. That means I was just sleeping for six hours, but registered as being on Entmoot. Hahahaha!

I'm so good.
