Got this idea from another forum that I post on, basically post the questions that have a nasty way of keeping you awake at night.
For me it's:
I wonder what I'll do tomorrow?
Will I have enough money for food when I go out?
Will my guitar strings break on me?
And why do I feel like getting something to eat at 2 in the morning?
Feel free to add. :D
the only question that keeps me up at night is
what the hell is wrong with people!?
well that and
how hard would it really be, to live like a hermit?:D

Will I be called into work tonight?
How many hours will I get this week? or month?
Do I have enough to cover bills and rent?
Do I have enough money to buy my girfriend goodies?
Will this be the night that a crazy homeless man kills me?

Hey thanks! I've been artistically stumped lately and avatars are my new outlet. Don't get too attatched to Scully... it'll change as soon as I make a new one. :lol:
Oh, and you have it backwards- you're supposed to eat the candy bar FIRST so you'll have the energy to burn off the calories from lunch! :angel:
Oh, here's what's keeping me up now... are Luke and Loreli REALLY going to get married?

1. "Damnit, why isn't my counter button working??" (Note: You shouldn't hook up your Playstation 2 next to your bed.)
2. "Shit, why is that video is taking a long time to retouch itself?" (Note: Or your computer, either.)
3. "If I do _____ in my fic, will that break up anything I've already established in the story?" (I'm nuts for continuity.)
4. "Why is the cat trying to break in through my window?"
5. "Is that the cat?"
6. "Did this buttmunch just put his hands on me?"
7. "Where is my sword?"
8. "Hmmm, where am I gonna get bleach and a shovel at this hour?"
Heh heh, okay, 4—8 were joke questions... :angel:

Drakstern- it's probably best that we don't touch that one. ;)
My biggest ones concern my future.
1) Where will I be in 10 years?
2) Will Ty and I be married?
3) Will I be comfortable?
4) Will I have children?
5) If I do, will I be a good mom?
6) Will I be admirable?
7) Am I preparing myself adequately for the future?
Paranoid? What makes you say that? :( :cry:

1. If pasta and antipasto get served at the same meal, would they cancel each other out, forcing you to eat more?
2. Did I set my alarm? (Today's answer: no. :o )
3. Man, I wonder what it would take to get a double bed in here? These twin beds suck.
4. Where would I find some really good quests to level up my characters? (I play WoW more than I should :o )
5. When spooning, where do I put my other arm? [/obscure Mallrats reference :p ]
6. Why the hell is Thank You For Smoking thirty god-damn bucks?!?

Oh the usual....
Wait...what's my shift tomorrow?
Did I put dinner back in the fridge?
Dammit! Gotta pee again! Why baby jesus, why was I blessed with the bladder of a hamster with ADHD?
Do I want kids? Could I put them on pause? If I do, when will I have them?
Will I apply for grad school again? What if I get turned down again? What will I do at that point?

12-30-2006, 11:39 PM
For me it's:
1) How soon can I get to sleep and be able to work tomorrow without being groggy and bitchy?
2) What's on USA tomorrow night? SVU or CI?
3) Do I have to just scoop the litter boxes tomorrow or entirely change them out?
4) How much do I have to do tomorrow when I get home?
5) Why is it right when I'm on the verge of falling asleep, I either have to pee or the dog is scratching on the door wanting to go out?
6) Did I set the alarm correctly for the right time to get up tomorrow?

1, did I lock the door?
2, is my alarm set for 5 am or 5 pm?
3,what does one call a girl "daddy long-legs", or a baby one for that matter?
4,oh god is that a spider on the ceiling?
5, what was that noise?
6, was that the neighbor?

Recently-
1) what do I want to do with my life?
2) will I ever get that promotion/new job?
3) Please don't let me get hurt and need the insurance that I currently don't have...
4) God, why do I have to pee already, I just went five mins ago?
5) Did I set my alarm for the right time?
6) WHEN do I work tomorrow? (my schedule sometimes varies like insanity)
7) How will I get everything done this week?
8) Did I forget to do something?
My brain is over-active. I normally watch DVD's so I can shut off the damn questions and just sleep. ;)

Mine are always:
1) What would I really do if I ever won like 350 million in the lottery?
and, most of the time,
2) Are my kids happy? And what would my life be like now if I had kept them? (cause I'm ALWAYS missing them like crazy)
I thought of better ones!
During the day, when I'm going to sleep:
Did I set my alarm to go off at 8?
Did I leave the heat on too high?
Is roomate going to grunt and turn it off when he gets home?
Did I remember to flush?
At night, while I'm on the way to OR already at work:
Did I turn the heat down?
Did I turn off the oven?
DID I LOCK THE DOOR, Dear God, please tell me I locked the door!
I wonder what's on Days today....
I wonder what's on Maury today...
On my nights off:
Is this my third or fourth glass of champagne?
What flavor is this?
Should I invite more people over?
This guy is great, roomie better not come home...
Is roomie going to come home?

Did I say or do anything really stupid today and if I did, did anyone notice?

Did I take my medicine? Do I take it now and maybe take a double dose or do I wait and see if I feel crappy tomorrow and take it then?

Oh, here's what's keeping me up now... are Luke and Loreli REALLY going to get married?
Well, now there's a chance of it happening, now that Chris is out of the picture. :D
I'd love to see them back together.
Things that keep me awake...
-Will I have enough time to do all that I need to do tomorrow morning if I hit the Snooze?
-What should I wear to work?
-What should I make for lunch?
-Where will I end up? God help me if it's where I am now.
-Which bloody cat is making that racket?
-Why do they wait until 11:30 to start running around the apartment?
-If I fall asleep, will I wake up?

In the last month or so I've thought the following before bed:
-What is Grimace from McDonald's, exactly? A friendly monster like Grover on Sesame Street? Some sort of mutant? And why don't you see Mayor McCheese anymore?
-Did I remember to charge my phone?
-What does my alarm sound like? (It's really odd, the last few months I've been getting up about 5-10 minutes before my alarm is set to go off)
-My coffee maker has a timer, why do I always forget to set it up?

We throw them in the spare room when we go to bed so we can't hear them running around the house (and by throw I mean lure them with food and treats because we usually can't catch them ;))

One that got to me a few weeks ago: how could an owner's equity account have a debit (negative) balance?
The weird thing about this is that I've not had anything to do with accounting in several years. I used to tutor it at my college, but I'm a math (algebra) teacher by trade.
The other questions that keep me awake at night are the ones I yell at my dogs:
Would you settle down and go to sleep already?
Do you really need to lick my toes?
Do you really need to lie on top of me?
Why did you poop in the closet?!? You were supposed to do that when I took you out 10 minutes ago!
Why did you just jump on my bad hip?
Would you please leave the cats alone?
Would you let me get some sleep?!?

I'm on the west coast, so my cats are running on Pacific Standard Time. I also live in a bachelor suite, so I don't have the option of locking them up in a separate room. Granted, I could lock them in the bathroom, but then they start yowling and smashing things, so better to let them run around for 10 minutes.
As for Grimace, I believe that he is a tastebud....

why does my dog sleep on his back?
Correllary: Why does the dog sleep on his back when he absolutely refuses to lie on his back when he's awake? (When he wants his belly rubbed he stands on your leg and arches his back so you can get your hand under him. And yes, literally stands on your leg - he's a chihuahua and weighs 6 pounds.)

I always think:
--Did I set the alarm?
--I have to be up in 5 hours. Will I oversleep?
--Am I supposed to be at work at 7 or 7:30? (It changes all the time. Makes no sense.)
And tonight I will be thinking:
--Is that dog next door ever going to stop barking? Where are my neighbors?
