Can't wait to see what it means "everything went crazy".

Sounds quite familiar... Though I managed by the end of my first year of high school to have a reputation for being the one kid who, even though everything in a bullies nature screamed to pick on me - you didn't. Never knew what the response would be...

I also did have a handful of friends, there were enough social outcasts at my high school that we managed to form our own little clique.

Anyways.... yeah... what happens to make everything go crazy?

I do that all the time, lol. Gives me time to just lay there and convince myself to get moving.

I have alarms set for ten to the hour and ten to the half hour... both... '50's and '20's... Yeah... I'm odd.

>> I know that for most people, it would be pretty weird to have your alarm set for ten to the hour instead of on the hour or on the half-hour, but I have a lot of little quirks like that, and most of them don't make any sense, even to me. <<

was the first time I ever thought about how others set their alarm clocks! I always start with when I have to be somewhere, then subtract what ever time I guess that it'll take me to get ready and to travel there. I usually round off to the nearest five minutes. Why would anyone wish to round off to the nearest half hour? It makes me think that if someone would not have quite enough time (to get ready or whatever) if the alarm was set on the hour, for example, the person would have to set the alarm for the next earlier half hour. This could result in missing 20 or 25 minutes of sleep! (woops, I was rounding off to the nearest 5 mins.)

Once, as a kid of 8 or 9, in the bathroom with my dad (he was shaving, I was pooping), he said "I'm really a non-conformist!" I proudly said "I'm a non-conformist, too." He, Mr. "I'm in construction management", might not have conformed in some little ways, but I was obviously the more non-conforming. I never even thought setting my alarm clock was one of the ways that I non-conform. It's trivial compared to how else I'm different!
