Yes, we all somehow manage to gel in well here. In spite of our vastly different personalities, we have a lot in common.

A lot... that's a bit bold. I bet most of you here don't jump into your friends pools with all your clothes on, or lie in your rooms for hours talking to yourselves. Ah, well, it comes from being an only child.

Wow, that was way off topic. Back on topic:

I think Nat and Bart have similar views on their existences in GE, but they do seem to have different ways of... expressing it. Everyone in this book is snotty in their own special way. Awwww....

Charming.
I have a feeling you would even beat Datsyuk in the race to mental derangement.

Can't say I've ever deliberately jumped into a pool while clothed. Nothing wrong with talking to yourself when you know you're the most interesting person around though.. >>

More people are joining the race :D.

Well, the jumping into pool clothed thing was only because I'd just had three cans of red bull, and blown up the fourth one. :D

Just don't drink too much of it...

10-14 cans. Wow... that's insane.

Guess I'm screwed.
I average two cans of coke on a school day, three or more otherwise.
Plus the fairly regular (once every four days or so, when I have cash) Monsters.
Whelp, I'm screwed.
And as for talking to yourself, I do it too, and more than that, I'd think.
As does a friend of mine, but since he's not an only child, way less.
Hooray for insanity and caffeine!

That may also have to do with not drinking or eating anything else during that time period...

Never had an energy drink, 'cuz I'm not sure if I'd like it and I wouldn't just want to throw it out. I almost did after my mom brought some back from work, but then one of my friends drank them all and then promptly threw up. :-/

Did that once at a summer camp when I'd forgot my bathing suit.

Not for hours, though I say things out loud to myself occasionally, usually when I'm stressed or have been walking home/school, for half an hour in the pouring rain.

:D

Heh, my friend was trembling the entire day after drinking one of these.

Great amusement for us, while annoyance for his girl.

Dude, I'm no lightweight.
I downed a NOS about 11 tonight, got tired about thirty minutes after, now it's just keeping me going.
My hyper period was about fifteen minutes, then mild tiredness, then caffeine doing what it's supposed to.
So, I'm good.
Monsters don't affect me anymore.

O.O

That's not healthy.

Ha! My (increasingly bad) insomnia keeps me up at night. I don't need your energy drinks.

Except in the daytime.

Insomnia ftw

Heh, what is this, Macbeth?

"Bartiforums doth murder sanity."

As long as I get to be Banquo...

I can stay up, so long as I'm occupied (TV, PS3, 360, internet, girls) for a couple days, easy.
Then I need a little help.
The longest I've gone, undisputed, was five days.
That week, I got about nine hours, all in those last two days.

How on earth do you manage that? I need to sleep daily. But I have gone without sleep for a little over 24hrs, but that's max. And if I sleep for less than 6 hours on average for 4 days, I crash out on the 5th day.

I've skipped a night's sleep occasionally, but I prefer not to. If I have to I can manage okay on a 20 minute powernap, but it's not especially fun.
Worst week I've had, I averaged about five hours a night for four nights, skipped a night, and got four hours the following night. Ugh. I was astonishingly coherent at the end of it, but I did sleep something like fourteen hours the next night..
