Preparations . . .

So, I’ve been doing a little preparation.
I have two trivia books and a Trivial Pursuit Wedge. (Wha – ?)

I also have my very own dog tags. Seriously. I got them at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum! Now, I have no military number, no rank, no file. But – they are pretty neat. (; I’ve got them on with the one I won from Betty last year. And I’m not jingling! (=

I also bought a cake. A Blogathon Cake. No, really.

What? You want more images? Fine, fine. After the bump. (;

Pre-thon warmup

Good morning, ‘thonners, etc! Are you ready for a day of determination, fun, craziness, and good times?

Ready or not, here it comes! I’ll be popping in throughout the day with a line from a song I love. It could be popular, but it could be obscure – I’m weird like that wink If you know the song and artist, comment with it. First to comment correctly gets a point. Poe is crazy enough to be keeping a scoreboard for silly ole me and my silly old lyrics, and at the end of the ‘thon, the person with the most points wins one of our lovely prizes!

So, here’s a warm-up lyric – no points involved. Are you ready?

Said that we can do it. Y’know I wanna do it again.

Rev those engines up. It’s almost time!

Late at Night and Still Awake!

How to stay awake? Sheer willpower. Yep. The amount of caffeine, sugar, loud music, etc. makes no difference to me (I routinely have Metallica or Linkin’ Park playing when I go to bed, so loud obnoxious music really makes no difference). For me, if I want to stay awake, I’ll stay awake until my body absolutely refusing to let me be awake any longer…usually at the 30+ hour mark.

Having something to do — a lot of something to do — will also do it. So, for Blogathon specifically — having a theme that will keep me working the whole time, volunteering as a monitor and occasional guest poster to fill in the time when my writing partner is posting, chatting in IM/iRC, playing on my RPG boards, participating on other thonners’ sites, having something to do with my hands in a crafty sort of way when I need to rest my eyes from the screen, having people drop by, watching movies, getting up and just dancing around when it’s either get up or pass out.

Mostly, as long as the brain’s active, the body forgets it needs sleep.
