When Was The Last Time

[Loser]

I remember the birds. The birds would always start and I knew I had only one hour, at best, before the sun came up. I used to hate the birds: they were like little tattle-tails, bragging that they'd busted me and soon the accursed daystar would be coming to punish me with the accountability that the morning after bring to any night of fun. Stupid birds.

I don't know when the Last time I stayed up all night with a game was. It might have been in the Last year, but it happened quite commonly in '96 - '00 or so. I remember staying up until I could no longer understand the game; it only took about twenty hours of wakefulness for me to get loopy, and not too much more until I set Math down somewhere and couldn't find it again.

Once I couldn't play the game anymore, be it Civ II, SMAC/X, MoO II or SE IV, the choice left to me was sleep or bad poetry. I could also sit still and listen to the auditory hallucinations that started about eighteen hours into the day, but eventually those would lull me to sleep.

I have found that twenty-four hours without sleep is an excellent catalyst for bad poetry, especially haiku. The really charming part of the experience would be waking up later, finding the poetry (or my Last save game) and trying to puzzle out what the bleep I was thinking at the time.

I always tried to avoid all nighters. Not out of any sense of responsibility or anything. But just because of the bad decisions mentioned below. As soon as I found myself doing stuff that a few minutes later I couldn't either A> remember doing or B> couldn't for the life of me understand what in the name of all of creation I was doing with such a stupid move... I would stop in fear of destroying my beautiful empire and goto sleep. This ussually happened at about 1 to 3 AM.

lol I had an all nighter once with SE4... I don't remember much but I remember there was one guy left and he had less than 10 systems... I had at least 30 and yet I still lost...
Thats why I don't do all nighters anymore lol

Till you mention it, I never thought of SEIV as therapy. Go figure.

Edit:
I used a systemsname.txt filled with obnoxous names insulting her and her kids.
Hmm, mabye I should be telling my therapist this.

Man, you comitted mistake number one in relationship. NEVER date a family. It never turns out fine, or so my Grandpa told me.
Besides, you were raising somebody elses kids.

Sorry Man, I find your Last remark distasteful. I hope you will not tell it to a person who adopted kids. There is more to humanity then sire a child.

No no, I didn't mean it as in adopted kids, or kids from a widow.
I meant that as in dating or marriging a divorced mother that have the father circling around to visit the kids.
And i meant it in the sense that the stepfather expend the money, do the work, but get the blame.
