The Friday Five

[DoomsdayZach]

1. What were the circumstances surrounding your last all-nighter?

Huh, I am not sure that Vicky and I stayed up *all* night while she was here, so it must have been before she came over and I stayed up all night talking to her on the phone.

2. What’s your favorite stay-awake-and-alert food or drink?

If i'm driving, anything as long as it keeps me occupied.

3. What are you most likely to be doing when you’re up in the late, late hours of the night?

Talking to people online or watching a movie.

4. In what way does your personality change when you are sleep-deprived?

Generally act really stoned and/or drunk. In the morning i'm bitchy as fuck

5. If you get home extremely tired and extremely hungry, which need are you most likely to satisfy first?

Depends... if i'm coming back from band practice I'll usually swing by mcdonalds or something and get some fries or something (don't judge me ) otherwise i'm usually happy to get some sleep first. Depends on what's convenient.

 

[Beelzebub]

1. What were the circumstances surrounding your last all-nighter?
Standing watch from 0000-0400.

2. What’s your favorite stay-awake-and-alert food or drink?
Eat two tablespoons of instant coffee and wash it down with Pepsi/Coke. Tastes disgusting but keeps me awake. Otherwise I just drink coffee and I eat whatever.

3. What are you most likely to be doing when you’re up in the late, late hours of the night?
Talking with friends, chilling the 'net, studying... it varies.

4. In what way does your personality change when you are sleep-deprived?
I get very, very irritable and I'm not as alert.

5. If you get home extremely tired and extremely hungry, which need are you most likely to satisfy first?
In those conditions I only eat if I'm really craving something specific. Otherwise, I brush my teeth and drink lots of water, then I sleep.

1) Prog Power - Bjorn Fryklund called us at 4:30am, ready to party. Nothing like sleeping for a half hour (doesn't really count!) and waking up to drink until breakfast started. It was a fun visit, AND we got to hear the new Freak Kitchen cd in progress. Of course this is AFTER partying hard all day...

2) Doritos & Mountain Dew

3) Working, or just coming home from work, depending on the day

4) It vaires from funny/stupid (stoned-likle) to being a real bitchy asshole. Depends on WHY I was deprived...

5) I can NOT fall asleep if I'm hungry. Food wins, every time!

1. What were the circumstances surrounding your last all-nighter?

Stayed up all night practicing for one of my midterms last week...it was brutal...literally felt like I was going to die by the end of the following day

2. What’s your favorite stay-awake-and-alert food or drink?

I'm pretty much impervious to caffeine these days, but I usually like to snack on pretzels, peanuts, goldfish and usually drink Iced Tea....I'm THAT metal

3. What are you most likely to be doing when you’re up in the late, late hours of the night?

Practicing/studying...it's been an every night thing this semester too

4. In what way does your personality change when you are sleep-deprived?

It doesn't really...my quick witted humor probably comes in lower quantity and I tend to be only slightly more irritable

5. If you get home extremely tired and extremely hungry, which need are you most likely to satisfy first?


Food, no question about it. I will be the grumpiest mother fucker alive if I go too long without food, but sleep is no big deal.

I'm usually in bed pretty early these days but here goes, I have my moments..

3. Partying or watching TV or tap tap, nudge nudge, wink wink, know what I mean, know what I mean?
4. First I get really silly and giddy, then I get quiet then I just bonk!
5. I will always stuff my face first....

[HackerX]

1. What were the circumstances surrounding your last all-nighter? A cocktail party/movie night with friends

2. What’s your favorite stay-awake-and-alert food or drink? Coke (or anything caffienated) but I drink to much of the stuff, it doesn't really have the desired effect

3. What are you most likely to be doing when you’re up in the late, late hours of the night? Being drunk or doing computer stuff

4. In what way does your personality change when you are sleep-deprived? If I go without sleep long enough (around 48 hours) I just get really really slooooow. I'm quicker to get grumpy, but normally I'm still pretty playful. Before then, nothing much, I've done far too many all nighters.

5. If you get home extremely tired and extremely hungry, which need are you most likely to satisfy first? Hunger. I can't sleep hungry. Being sleep deprived doesn't really phase me.

 

[Jax]

1. What were the circumstances surrounding your last all-nighter?
Work..I worked 3rd shift 'til I moved here.
2. What’s your favorite stay-awake-and-alert food or drink?
Thanks to my ADHD & years of being fed ritalin, the usual suspects don't work on me in average doses..if I really need to stay awake, I have to take a handful of NoDoz.
3. What are you most likely to be doing when you’re up in the late, late hours of the night?
Reading, playing games on Pogo, or watching tv.
4. In what way does your personality change when you are sleep-deprived?
I laugh at just about anything (it was quite hilarious at work when we were all loopy from lack of sleep..mass hilarity ensued), but when I go past sleep deprived to sheer exhaustion, then I get really short tempered.
5. If you get home extremely tired and extremely hungry, which need are you most likely to satisfy first?
Gotta eat or the hunger pangs wake me up sooner than I might wake up otherwise.

1. What were the circumstances surrounding your last all-nighter?
After 6 weeks of 12hour night shifts, last Friday was my first Friday night off for a while so me and the boys headed down to The Green Room in Redruth for the post-Halloween 3 band party, which resulted in me indulging in far too much ale, then back to mine for rum, port and Christ knows what else that was in my drinks cupboard. Needless to say, most of Saturday was spent nursing a brutal hangover..... :zombie:

2. What’s your favorite stay-awake-and-alert food or drink?
Vodka and red bull, or if I'm driving - coffee and pro plus

Depends if there is a female present....

I get really quiet and withdrawn and try to stay out of other people's way

5. If you get home extremely tired and extremely hungry, which need are you most likely to satisfy first?
Fishfinger and salad cream sandwich then sleep. Mmmm.....

1) A shitload - in the middle of re-orging my media collection. Final count whenever I get finished.

2) If you include live "bootlegs"from torrent sites, plus MP3's, it's a shitload...
(not at home, and can't tally it up) There's at least 300 GIG of music on
my desktop @ home....

3) If you count all the stuff pulled from torrent sites (none are available to purchase), with store bought movies & concerts, I'd say around 250 to 275.

4) About 150

5) I have a lot of PC games, but the last thing I played was MVP Triple Play Baseball, and that was well over a year ago....No time for pc/video games
