I guess it's been a long time since I had something to say on here. Or the time to sit and say it. I've been working overtime since last time... but these past two weeks have been more gentle. But even so, it seems I've developed some insomnia lately. I thought one of those sounds of the ocean CDs might help, but as it turned out it kept me awake until 8AM because I love the sound of the ocean so much. I guess life is rough like that.

I've been doing some experimenting with liquor in my insomniac nights, so if anybody is adventurous... I'd like to get some opinions on things before I decide to offer them at Hell/Paradise. I've also got liquid nitrogen for overclocking, which makes for an exciting cocktail presentation. I've also managed to find a bacon flavored syrup. Maybe garnishing with candied bacon and doing some sort of sweet/savory drink... I'll think on it. But the offer still stands for someone to come and taste these things. I'd do it myself, but I don't have much of a pallet for these types of things.

	I've gotten no response in my real career... maybe it's time for a change. I might as well learn to start impressing the drunks, get higher tips that way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	You still shouldn't limit yourself to this. Tobirama, as every caring mother would say, so am I in the place of ours but you deserve more than this. You have the smarts, you are dedicated when you aren't distracted, you have what you need to get something that is not mopping up beer splattered counters. Don't settle on this.

	I'm going to have to, for now. Of course nobody wants to see their little brother end up as a bartender and a lawyer's assistant but... I hated seeing you end up as a brothel manager, when you deserved much better. At this point it's just... I need the money. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And don't overwork yourself. I know you are tired of hearing people say it but you are to have at least one day off a week for yourself and progress that up to two over time. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Working with Izuna is full time... he never seems to take breaks. I've gotten better, since our last talk. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That is really good to hear. Although, it doesn't sound like you are sleeping well. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: [Private] longshowers 2010-07-15 02:48 pm UTC (link)
	That's the trouble. I'm so used to pulling all-nighters now that when it's time to sleep, I've forgotten how to do it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The curse of the night shift worker. I have sort of the same but on my days off, it's hard to stay awake during the day. Have you thought about some herbal medicine to help you sleep? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Itachi suggested chamomile. How do you get rest? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I'm old, I need my naps. Once the adrenaline starts to wear down, I sleep. Never had much of a problem with it. [also sex helps a lot.] (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	You're not that old, grandpa. You're lucky. And you probably have Madara waiting around to curl up with. I forgot how hard it was to sleep alone. I've just been coming home to pass out these past few weeks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: [Private] devilswalknstik 2010-07-15 03:13 pm UTC (link)
	We work different shifts a lot of the times so we don't really get to sleep together often these days. Although I love the extra stretching space, it does get lonely. If it gets too bad, get a body pillow. It's better than nothing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: [Private] longshowers 2010-07-15 03:27 pm UTC (link)
	Hug a pillow, huh? Just like going through puberty all over again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	If you get too lonely, it helps. It is what I do when Madara is not around. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	As stupid as it sounds I might give it a shot... Feeling lonely is a bit worse than feeling foolish. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I'll remember to always lock my door, just in case big brother comes over for a surprise visit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	You don't have to worry about me walking in. I would knock first. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: [Private] longshowers 2010-07-15 03:39 pm UTC (link)
	I'm up in the loft, I wouldn't hear a knock anyway. Come to think of it... I should get a doorbell. Or not. I wonder how many solicitors I've had the fortune of sleeping through. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: [Private] devilswalknstik 2010-07-15 03:40 pm UTC (link)
	It has its perks. You should be locking the doors anyway, it is not safe to leave them unlocked unless you are waiting for night visitors. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
