Couldnt sleep lastnite. Normally when i'm up at 4am it's b'cos i'm catching up on plugins for MT[1] or helping other MT users out in the support forum. Not lastnite (or this morning?). I just couldnt sleep.

So i decided to make a few calls. Now the only people who wouldnt mind me calling at time time would be those across the pond. So i drew out a list: Marian "Slew", Kuorkor "brownAangel" and Ewurama "Bubblebutt[2]" & Odobea "Doobs[3]" (see, they live together)... not necessarily in that order.

Marian wasnt answering. As has been the case for the past week or two. I hope u're alright Slew. Just anytime... whenever you're available, I'll be around.

Brownie, or Kourks as i like to refer to her in my mind picked her fone and after the usual hellos told me she was going to Ghana this evening. Wow. She's never mentioned it b4 even though she's been online sometime during these past few days. Oh and she's staying for at least 5weeks! Is that awesome or what?! Well maybe she'll get pictures of Ghana @ X'mas and send some here. We talked some more about nothing (well i cant remember) and i wished her a safe journey.

Then i called Doobs & Bubu. They've a new number; 555-242-6764. See it's sposed to be unlisted. I heard this message telling me the above. Then something about not accepting calls with ID withheld. And that if i was a "solicitor", to hang up immediately... and if not, to enter my 10digit fone number. So i entered a random set of numbers and my call was routed to her. So much for call policing eh?

Anyway, even tho i called Bubu, Doobs took over and decided to hog the fone. We talked for close to 20mins. (or na lie?) During which time i got to learn that she DOES lie of her blog[4] Can you believe that?! Despicable. So i coined a new wrod for them peoples. Blog-liars. I also found out she's a 'siano. Short for Kumasiano (ie. someone from Kumasi, Ghana). Though of course that might be another lie.

I finally got to talk to Bubu for a while during which time i mentioned the fibs Doobs had told. She replied; "Oh! She's been a bad bad girl! I'm gonna punish her! Spank her! Grrrrr!". Ok ok... i admiteddly led her on to say that... and i'll confess to the little crime of garnishing it... but she almst said the above sentence... give or take 15 or so words.

Anyway, I'm having a late breakfast with Abeyna. It's already 11am and she'll be here anytime soon. So yeah i'm taking the rest of the day off people.

And No. She hasnt been a bad bad girl. Not yet anyway. [UPDATE: phone numbers have been further changed cos it looked too similar to the real number even with the 555 prefix]

Faf.. telemarketer or not, putting someone's number out there is just WRONG. I don't know about the UK but in the US, you've basically put her number out there.

Do me a favor. Take the number down.

My Grandad has his calls monitored aswell, by this answering service. You've gotta say your name and then the computer forwards it on to him so he'll decide whether to receive it or not.. takes up a lot of time (ie. money!)

Oh, and while I was waiting outside ur house in the freezing cold expecting you to be in, from 10:30 onwards, u were busy blogging elsewhere?! you FAILED 2 mention that!

its the 31st and i decided to check email and all other internet related stuff. So i'm in the big GH and i see my full name!! listed and all that... Faffy boo, there are stalkers and rapists out there and since my birthday is tomorrow- the first duhh- i have given up the internet for next semester. I mean i will check email and do assighnments, but no more surfing, cruising or running around anymore on the WWW. i'll update you on all the GH drama and all i gotta say is good music, good food, good friends and all the other good stuff can still result in a mighty f*cked up situation.

Hey, so where does the Insomniacs Anonymous come in here... well anyway, i started a little club called insomniacs anonymous over in Missouri, then i went searching to find if there were any more out there calling themselves that, and came upon you. I would like to extend my greetings to you, fellow insomniacs, in hopes that one day we will become aquaintances.

Your fellow unrested
Jeremy
