Staying Up Late

I'm staying up late tonight.

Normally, when you're up late, it's because you're doing something. Or because you can't sleep. Or something. How should I know? But the reason I'm staying up late is because tomorrow, I have to stay up even later.

As I've told you and told you until I'm blue in the keyboard, I frequently have to work weekends, dealing with Magic tournaments around the world. And the one I'm dealing with this weekend is in Kobe, Japan. That means that my personal 9:00 am Saturday is going to coincide with 4:00 pm Friday. Which, in turn, means that I have to rotate my sleep schedule by seven hours.

So what I'm planning on doing is staying up until 4 or 5 am, or until I can't take it anymore. Then I'll sleep until, hopefully sometime after noon. That should give me enough of a head start to stay awake through Saturday (which, again, will be starting on Friday afternoon).

So I've got to come up with something to fill my time. In theory, I could play Diablo II, because a lot of people at work have been playing it and harassing me to get caught up to their level. I could also bust out the Playstation 2, I guess. There's also the television, which is loaded up with Tivo goodness, but there's so much there that it's kind of intimidating.

Adding to the situation is the fact that I haven't drunk any Coke in a couple of days. Normally when I try that, I get a huge headache. Not so much from the caffeine withdrawal, but from the fact that I forget to drink regular fluids. What I mean is, I normally drink nothing but Coke, so I'm usually fairly dehydrated. And then when I cut out the Coke, if I don't make a conscious decision to drink regular fluids, I start getting really dehydrated.

Anyway, that's not happening this time. But It's weird to be staying up late without the aid of caffeine. I don't know how well I'll do at it, but I have set myself a quest: not to go to sleep for several more hours.

Guess I'll make a mix cd or something.

I'm staying up very late tonight!
"Hello! My name is Aaron Hall and, I'm going to tell you about staying up late and why I like staying up late.
Staying up late is some times a good thing and it also, can help people to get better from illness they have. When people stay up late they are doing somethink are it is keeping them bussy.
I always stay up late watching Horror, films on Teleivsion! And them movies keep me up late because I'm doing somethink like said before!
Many, many people stay up late and even grown,
grown up's do also. When people go to a sleep over they like to plat together and have fun like other people do. And also they stay up late!
To get more chance of staying up late is Caffeine! Caffiene is a drink that that is also a kind of, a drug like Coke and Coffee! Coke and Coffee can Help you stay up late! Ans even sometimes I drink Coke and Coffee to, stau up late! Do you like to stay up late?
