Roll Call. Who's up and why? And for a random question...

[yvr girl]

If you could be anywhere on holiday right now, where would it be?

I'm up (obviously.) Why? Coffee after dinner and a prolonged afternoon nap.

I could do with a shot of the tropics - Bora Bora sounds good.

[enigmatic]

1. Programming my radio station.....

And if I could be anywhere right now? Probably by Drumheller, AB, by the Canadian Badlands...

[yvr girl]

3. Drumheller? Really? In January?

Please tell me you have family there.

[enigmatic]

5. nope!

My wife and I just love the area and go in the summer all the time. I always wanted to spend a weekend in the winter w/ the snow on the ground; it's got to be beautiful to see...

[u4ic]

17. They'll get Chinooks, though

So it's not always freezing.

Drumheller and the environs is a beautiful area. I love the landscape of Southern Alberta. I used to live in Lethbridge and loved hiking through the coulees.

[yvr girl]

19. To close to where I grew up for me to look at it as a vaction destination

Besides I love the tropics. So, you lived in 'LA.'

[u4ic]

24. LOL yes, I remember "LA"

almost forgot about that one!

I've always wanted to spend Xmas in Vienna. <<drools at the thought of it>>

[yvr girl]

26. Who says advertising doesn't stay with you.

Vienna at Christmas sounds great.

[TheDebbieDee]

2. I'm up! I wanna go to sleep but I wanna stay up.....

for a while yet, too. Gosh, I'm torn.

[yvr girl]

4. And your holiday choice?

[CalebHayes]

6. babysitting... it sucks

[yvr girl]

7. Please tell me the kiddies are asleep.

Babysitting wasn't all bad. Put the kids to bed, watch The Love Boat and Fantasy Island. It's been a while since I babysat.

[CalebHayes]

8. I think so, other wise shes being real quite and thats cool with me...

as long as I don't have to deal with her, it's all cool to me. I'm really nice to her when shes up but after her bed time, I quit handing out the ice cream.

[Gothic Sponge]

9. Me

I never sleep.

[Jamastiene]

10. Night Owl all my life

I'm up. I'm always up at this time of night. Always have been. Currently drinking again. Damn Bush has made me an alky again. Oh well. If I could be anywhere I wanted, I'd be in San Francisco listening to great punk rock with some so-called "Bush bashers" aka the people that tell the truth.

[CalebHayes]

12. I'd go to SF with you and listen to punk

maybe I should get the KGO stream up?

[artificial flavor]

11. I am still awake.

Why? The bar is still open and I needed to get out of the house. Luckily I can pick up the WiFi signal from my house to work on a webpage.

And I would like to be in Iceland right now. I have always wanted to go there. And the last time I had the cash I was talked into going to Europe for a month.

[u4ic]

13. Can't sleep

Big fight with the boyfriend.

[lildreamer316]

14. Night owl..

.waiting on hubby to get home from DJ job; I'm always up at this time anyway.
Cabo. Huge VH/Sammy fan. Or anywhere warmer than here.;)

[outraged2]

15. up

I have been playing a long game (Axis and Allies) with my SO.... he won. grrrr

[RC]

16. Couldn't sleep

How 'bout Hawaii instead?

Come, join me on Maui.

[yvr girl]

18. I am so there - I love Maui. But...

is that where you suggest we stay? I don't need the Grand Wailea but I usually like something a little bit more upscale. The grounds are lovely though.

[RC]

20. There are better places around there.

I just like to joke with this picture, usually as my retirement home. As you noticed, well kept grounds. So someone cares.

I kinda prefer Ohau though

More things to see and do.

[yvr girl]

22. Last time I went to Hawaii, I went to Ohau

I went with a friend who had never been outside of Waikiki. I took her all over the place. My family was there for a month when I was a kid.

I'd be more than happy to go to either island.

[RC]

23. I noticed that.

Spend all that money and go all that distance and never get farther than walking distance from the hotel bar. I never understood that. One could spend a month on Oahu alone and not see everything. Get behind the touristy facade. Much more interesting.

[yvr girl]

25. It was great when I was a kid

We were in a house, amongst the locals. Has a fab time. I missed seeing Hawaii 5-O being filmed though, as I was home recovering from a major burn. After being on the island for 3 weeks, it's still not a good idea to spend 7 hours at the beach.

I love to get off the beaten path - always the best part of a trip.

[RC]

28. My bed beckons

The 'tourests' miss so much.

I gotta get back on a schedule of some kind. I Have to go back to work Monday. Took all last week off.

G'nite all.

[Radical Activist]

21. I can't sleep either

my sleep schedule is all screwed up.
The places I want to vacation at are too cold right now. The Smoky Mountains would be nice.

[amjucsc]

27. I'm up...

...because I haven't gone to bed yet. (It only being 130 on the west coast.)

Oddly enough I don't feel like rushing off anywhere at the moment... though I was just reminiscing about Campaign work in Portland, Ore. London's always nice.

[yvr girl]

29. You are a bright, shiny new DUer aren't you?

Welcome to the madness.

[billyskank]

30. I'm up because it's a 9:45am here

Why the hell are you up?

[yvr girl]

31. I see that you're 'over the pond'

Let me see.

1. Night owl
2. I slept too long this afternoon
3. Caffeine

[billyskank]

33. No 2's a killer

I've always totally screwed my night's sleep when I do that.

[yvr girl]

36. I'm not generally a napper

Late night on NYE and an early morning. I faded.

[Lostnote03]

34. Hello Billy.....

....I just wanted to comment on "guitar George"....did you know that Chet Atkins produced Dire Straights.....also who was the guitarist assisting on the lead tracks?

[billyskank]

No I didn't know that

erm, and I don't know who the guitarist was. All I knew was that Mark played lead and his brother Dave played rhythm. If you know more then please enlighten me!

And who's Chet Atkins? (I've got that bad feeling that I'm supposed to know something but don't, and that it means I'm a total doofus).

[Lostnote03]

40. Chet Atkins/aka Godfather of Nashville guitarists

........He stylized a finger style approach to playing that emphasized a "walking" bass.....He passed away a yr ago while in his 80s.....He was every bit the force in guitar folklore as is Les Paul.....btw, Ricky Skaggs (ala Bluegrass fame) highlighted the signature guitar solos' for Dire Straits....Best Wishes

[JohnKleeb]

32. Cant sleep, should be asleep

[yvr girl]

35. How has your holiday been?

Are you ready to start school again. Are you starting new classes this week?

[JohnKleeb]

37. Its been pretty good

Yeah I guess I am ready to start again. No, I don't start new classes, my semester ends late this month. I just had a phewie while looking at my papers too, my reading logs are due the 7th not the 3rd, phew thank god., all I have to do tommorow is my Appalachia research paper draft and some chemistry work.

[yvr girl]

38. My high school was like that too

I hated it, because you always felt guilty for not studying over Christmas. Besides, my birthday is in late January. Nothing more fun than writing two finals on your birthday.

[JohnKleeb]

39. Yeah I hate that

I gotta get to work on school stuff but damn I cant wait towards mid late January when I get to go to DC and stay there for a few days.

[yvr girl]

41. Checking out GWU?

[JohnKleeb]

42. Yes and No

Protesting a certain monkey primarily, then staying at GWU with a DUer friend and some others who Ive hanged out with a few times and doing some stuff in DC, it should be a great experience, I dont live near a metro station that I can walk to so I am just gonna stay there for that week following that thursday, but yeah I will use it as an oppertunity to check out GWU which I want to transfer to after community college.

[yvr girl]

43. I was in DC a couple of years ago for work

I didn't get to much of a chance for exploring, but I'd love to go back. It's a beautiful city. I'm also a museum nut.

[JohnKleeb]

44. I was down there just a couple weeks ago actually

To interview Senator Hagel from Nebraska, not bad for a republican honestly. The city really is great, and I am coming to know it very well.

[yvr girl]

45. You're not far from there, are you?

[JohnKleeb]

46. Not far at all

I don't drive though so I almost always take the subway. Unfortunely, there is no subway that I can walk to so I get a ride from someone to the nearest station which is 15 mins away.

[yvr girl]

47. Subway. You're really close then

Well, I'm going to hit the hay. You should too, or you'll be screwed when you go back to school.

Ack. I sound like a mom. I'm not. I don't even have plants - to demanding.

[JohnKleeb]

48. I probably will soon

Yeah they really need one I can walk to though, I hate having to rely on people to drive me there.

[TrogL]

49. playing counterstrike source

Finally got fed up with it. thought I'd check by here to check on the news.

[RC]

50. Back awake again

Anything happen?

[yvr girl]

51. I'm still up - I am so screwed for the next few days

DU was slow - I watched a movie.

[RC]

52. Workin Monday?

You're gonna be a mess.

[yvr girl]

53. Monday's a stat in Canada

I'm not even sure if I should attempt sleep now. I need to be at my parents' place in about 6 hours for yet another holiday dinner. I'm still quite wired, so it would take me some time to get to sleep.

If I can stay awake long enough tonight I'll be OK. If I fall asleep early, I'll wake up really early. Vicious cycle.

[RC]

54. 36, 48, 54 hours?

A nap maybe? And your are driving? Hope it's not far to you parents place.
Gads, no wonder I worry about people. ;-)

[yvr girl]

55. Got home from the party and was up for a bit

Then I slept for about 4 1/2 hours. I was up for several hours and then I napped from about 1 to 4. I've only been up for 14 hours. I should stay up another 16-17 hours if I stay up.

It's about 45 minutes to my parents' house.
