I still don't know if I'm a morning person or a night owl.

It used to be that I would wake up at 6:30 every Saturday morning and play video games until noon. I don't do that kind of thing anymore (since I can play whenever I want to now), but whenever I wake up early in the morning, I'm at my happiest and most creative. I LOVE mornings, in fact.

But I can't wake up to save my life. Lately I've been waking up at noon! It's really sad. Part of this stems from my other tendency - I hate sleep.

Many nights, I'll end up staying up until three in the morning. I try to limit that to midnight during the week, but it's because I hate sleeping. I never want to sleep, so I avoid it as much as possible... by staying awake until o'dark stupid in the morning. Oddly, I don't feel tired when I do this (most of the time). There's a little bit of drag, but I can stay up for a long time with energy to spare.

It gets really confusing on a day like today, when I went to bed at 2AM and woke up at 7AM more rested than having slept from midnight to nine (like on a weekday - that's getting dangerously close to missing class). Even when I go to bed at 10PM I still can't seem to wake up when I want to.

One of these days I'll figure it out... maybe.

Digitized another maze! I chose an easy one so that I could familiarize myself with making them again.

This was made back for SMB's 25th anniversary. 30 is comin' up soon...

The nature of memories

Will: Ugh, I'm so tired. I just want to sleep.

Memory: HELLO

Memory: Let me show you this random memory of you doing something embarrassing!

Will: Wow why did I even do that

Memory: THINK OF YOUR SHAME.

Will: I really hate the fact that I ever thought of doing this at all

Memory: HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Will: Why am I thinking of this?

Memory: wait what

Will: Why do I care so much? I doubt anyone involved with this actually cares anymore.

Memory: It doesn't matter, because YOU DID IT LOOK AT YOU.

Will: well I don't care, because no one else does

Memory: But LOOK AT IT

Will: Let me sleep! *suppresses memory*

Memory: NOOOOOOOooooooooo....

Will: Finally, I might actually be able to sleep now.

Will: *tries to sleep*

Memory: i'm back

Memory: and i have another memory for you

Will: *sigh* I am never going to sleep tonight.

Minor annoyance: Hearing the same jokes over and over again.

For example, you may know that I make mazes. One of the more common jokes I hear out of people is, "Wow, these are a-MAZE-ing! lolololol"

No. Please stop. I get it. It's funny the first time. I laughed too. I don't anymore. It's annoying and repetitious. Please stop.

Obviously this is just one example of many with many other people, so please refrain from joking about people's names, usernames, professions, or hobbies, because they've probably heard it already. Thank you.

The following is a dramatization of real events:

"My charger for my computer broke! One of the wires must have frayed. Oh well, I'll be out of commission for a couple of days. I'll just order a new one via Amazon Prime.

"WHAT?!? It's EIGHTY DOLLARS?! Not happening! This had BETTER be covered under warranty.

"I've been on hold for the past thirty minutes... What, it's under warranty? Great! How long will it take to get here?... FIVE TO SEVEN DAYS?!?!

"I'm gonna be without a computer for a WEEK! Classes will have started by then! Now I can't stream, or work on my mappacks, or distract myself during class, or refresh the same eight websites every five minutes, or... Or..."

.....................

*starts grinning*

"OH NO, now I can't do everything on my computer! I'm FORCED to learn how to better use my phone as a secondary way of obtaining information. How HORRIBLE!

"Aw man, now I can't play my computer games! I have to play my new 3DS games that I got the other day instead. One of them is even my first Pokemon game! It's pure TORTURE.

"Darn it, now I can't work on my mappacks! Forget the fact that I've been working on them for months and haven't made much progress on anything - I OBVIOUSLY can't be productive now! I guess I have to take a break or something.

"Now that my computer is out of commission, I can't do ANYTHING on it! I'm now forced to start doing everything else that I've been neglecting because I was doing all these IMPORTANT things on my computer! And things won't go back to normal for a WEEK! Whatever will I do..."

*packs away computer*
