Perchance to dream

oddeggI’m going to be getting myself a laptop after xmas and then I might actually be able to write and post stuff when I say I will.
The home computer I now use is actually mr oddegg’s and whilst it was perfect when all I wanted to do was send emails or look things up online every so often, now that I’ve shrugged off my Luddite shackles, embraced the technology revolution, tuned in, jacked up and, most importantly, started writing porn constantly, I really need to get a machine of my own.
Because somehow, “Sweetie, can I interrupt your very important video editing so I can write about men rimming each other” doesn’t meet with such a favourable response. Can’t think why.

And having decided on the new comp. I now feel I should probably ban myself from the internet for my own good.
I was hop-scotching my way around comic sites and on a comicbookresources forum came upon an old thread about how long you can stay awake (yeah, I’m not sure what it was doing there either) and there were people who were all ‘well, I need my 9 hours but I did once stay awake for a WHOLE 36 HOURS!!’ and my first two responses were, pretty simultaneously:
a) Cunts. Try 16 weeks of intermittent insomnia, bitch!
b) 36 hours. Pussy-ass motherfuckers. I was awake for a 40 hour stretch on Friday and still went out partying!!
But the one that worried me was the third, rather competitive response:
c) Hmmm. My personal ‘best’ was about 66 hours. I wonder if I could top that.
I then found myself actually thinking about testing how long I can do without sleep. Just out of curiosity.
Don’t think I should let my brain out without supervision anymore.

I so want to try this next time the computer is occupied! And I know almost exactly the facial expression I'd get, but it would be so very worth it!

You on your own computer is going to be quite possibly the 7th sign of the Apocalypse. Which might be a beautiful thing.

Yay! Primeval/BtVS rimming! Although it really depends on who is the rimmee. I have standards. *nods*

Of course you have standards. I believe you. *g* But I will reveal nothing about the rimmee's identity. Torture me, kill me, I will never tell! (until I post after xmas)

Without wishing to sound like a petulant kid, I WANT IT, PRECIOUS, I WANT IT NOW!!
*feels fic through wrapping paper, shakes fic, and tries to surreptitiously peel back the cellotape for a sneak fic-preview*
Holding back rimming fic is a sin, you do know that, don't you, sweetie?
