{Day 30: Rebecca} Things I think about in the middle of the night

1. I reeeeally hope this isn't the start of another bout of insomnia.
2. If I go to sleep right ...now I'll get [x] hours sleep
3. Oops. I forgot to do my list for today...
4. I wonder how insomnia fares at the B&B? All those people user one roof.
5. I bet HG gets some major insomnia... wow shouldn't put that on the list cause then I'll have to write it.
6. I should write more on Court's prompt... I'm liking it. And surprising myself with the presence of plot.
7. It would be really good to get some work tomorrow... But would also be really nice to stay in pjs... And get actual sleep.
8. I hate this blogger app on my phone it's stupid
9. Blogger is a funny word. Blooooger.
10. Man I need sleep
11. Oh geez remember that story you read once where people never ever slept and they all turned into homicidal, cannibalistic lunatics and then people shoved them all onto this one island to eat each other like non-spacey Reavers? That was scary *shudders*
12. Reavers, likewise, are scary
13. I wonder how long I could keep this stream of consciousness thing going for? I bet my fingers would fall off from tying before my addled brain stopped throwing our rubbish.
14. The light on my tv is bright red so there's this one big scary cylon eye staring at me from the darkness of u room.
15. I've turned on my star projector to negate the scariness of my cylon tv. It is rather soothing.
16. I wonder what it would be like to have a cylon tv... Think it would make you watch the cooking forever? Cause you know, cylon? Toaster? LEAVER ALONE I'M TIRED!
17. I wonder what it would be like to look out your window and ACTUALLY see the stars?
18. I should go camping again before the weather turns. Go see the stars away from the lights.
19. I like stars. They're pretty.
20. Am now wondering if Lisa has read "Stardust" by Neil Gaiman
21. Am now thinking about how much better the "Stardust" book is than the movie.
22. Now considering the awesomeness that is Neil Gaiman.
22. Hi Scraps
23. No Scraps, no, don't lie on me, it's like a bajillion degrees. Go visit Lisa and the fluffballs and stay till there is snow to bring home
24. Now thinking about how cool it would be to have a messenger cat that would do your bidding.
25. Now thinking about the messenger birds in Dinotopia.
26. Thinking about he time James Gurney left a comment on my review of the book and how I ran through the house squealing like a little kid
27. Ruminating on how much I ADORE Dinotopia and how much I wanted I live there as a kid (okay still), specifically in tree town.
28. Considering my love of tree houses and the idea of being stranded on a far off island
29. Blaming this weird desire on too many childhood readings of Dinotopia and Swiss Family Robinson.
30. Thinking about how doing this list has jus made me more awake. Gah.

7. Alice – Cause... well cause it’s a TEA PARTY. [Alice in Wonderland]
8. Codex – Cause I think forcing her out of the house at any time is funny, but to shove her into a situation where she has to make small take is just asking for hilarity [The Guild]

{Day 24: Rebecca} Awesome things about house sitting

1. How quiet the house was.
2. How I ordered pizza for dinner and got the one that no one else likes (Vegetarian, extra olives).
3. How, because I was the only one there I had leftover pizza AND it was still there when I went to have it for dinner the next night
4. Snuggly kitties with only me to give them cuddles
5. How their house key is a Tesa brand, which made me think of Tesla, which made me nerd happy
6. That their TV is bigger than my bed. (okay maybe not quite, but still it’s pretty big)
7. Opening a drink, putting it back in the fridge, and having it still be there when I came back
8. Watching my TV show in the lounge room
9. Being allowed to sit on the lounge
10. How when I needed a ruler I opened my friends desk drawer to grab one and there were eleven rulers just sitting there right on top. ELEVEN. Now either Wendy has a ruler obsession that she hasn’t told anyone about or her study is actually the Room of Requirement but either way I was majorly impressed. I’m hard pressed to find ONE ruler in my drawer.
11. Waking up in the middle of the night to find that I was wearing a cat as a hat.
12. Speaking of cats: their crazy acrobatic cats who run and jump and hurdle and catapult. (hehe cat-apult)
13. Their weird double screened computer. I used Wendy’s computer to reply to some email and she has two monitors set up that make one big screen. It’s very cool.
14. All the inappropriate jokes I made about wild parties before they left
15. How their dvd player is a laptop attached to the tv and you have to use a mouse to work it.
16. Sitting on the steps patting a dog who is happy to see you (I love that it doesn’t matter who you are, dogs are always happy to see you)
17. Their cool see through sink.
18. How, having left the pizza box on the bench so I could throw it out, I then had to coax a sleeping cat off it. It just gave me a ‘hey man, you had the pizza, I have the box, now scoot’ kind of look and just rolled back over and went back to sleep.
19. Having the bejeezes scared out of me when Rick came home unexpectedly and scared me. Okay that wasn’t so cool, but it led to...
20. Geeking out over Warehouse 13 with Rick
21. How when I changed my DVD over I realised they had Warehouse 13 on their media player and got in trouble from Courtney for nearly breaking our ‘gentleman’s agreement’
22. Realising that I have all the makings of a crazy cat lady because of all the long conversations I had with the cats
23. Playing book spy with the bookshelf
24. Having lots of uninterrupted reading time

{Day 23: Lisa} Things I Like About Math

{Day 19: Lisa} A (Semi Non Sarcastic) List of Ways to Get More Organized

1. Stop buying stuff you don’t have room for.
2. Get rid of stuff you don’t have room for.
3. Remove the foam stuffing from your couch cushions and replace with yarn or off season clothing.
4. Scan all your papers into your computer and recycle the hard copies (unless you’re Helen Magnus).
5. Adhere all your film prints on your walls with tape or sticky stuff (who needs wallpaper)
6. Add shelves to any unused walls.
7. Color code everything.
8. Arrange things by shapes.
9. Arrange things by size.
10. Pretend there’s a miniature alien/abnormal/animal in *insert room of choice* clean it until the missing creature is located.
11. Label everything.  Label makers, chalkboard paint and sharpies are fun.
12. Stick things in boxes, bins, jars by different categories depending on which shelf/room they’re located on/in.
13. Organize your books by dewey decimal number.
14. Find Robin Dunne, give him a broom and ask him to direct a film in your house.
15. Dump everything on the floor/counter/chair and then put it all back.
16. Throw a party (your house will magically organize itself while you’re looking for that cake pan you haven’t used since last year).
17. Convert your consciousness to binary.  Everything’s more organized on a computer.
18. Have me come over and deprive me of all sources of entertainment.  I’ll be cleaning out your fridge in a day or two.
19. Find yourself a huge project with an non-negotiable deadline like a thesis. Watch as you turn into a cleaning/organizing machine.

{Day 14: Lisa} Reasons Becca is the Awesomest (the Abbreviated Version)

Stealing this because I needed a list and because she really is the awesomest…

6. Comment spam
7. She indulges me in my insanity
8. She hardly ever lets me win an argument
9. We’re planning on retiring to an asylum so we can fangirl full time
10. She gets up and pops online when I’m supposed to be making/eating dinner (who needs alarms when you’ve a Becca?)

13. Her insane if misguided love for snow
14. The way she always makes me smile

{Day 14: Rebecca} Favorite websites and blogs (with no particular order or theme)

1. Attic24: The first craft blog my friend Wendy and cousin Renae ever followed together. Much shinyness on her blog which has prompted many conversations between the three of us (“Oh! Have you seen the latest Attic24 ta-dah??” ... “We HAVE to get this wool. It’s so Lucy!”)
2. Delicious: aka my fanfic tbr manager!

5. Ravelry: Home of the knitty goodness
6. Extra Ordinary: a very cute comic which I relate to far too easily. Very quirky.
