Won't help. A typical cup of joe has approx. 100 - 150 mg of caffeine... maybe up to 200 mg for a lighter roast. A typical OTC caffeine pill has 200 mg. Not enough of a change to make it worthwhile, and the act of drinking the coffee rather than popping a pill helps dull the systemic impact and makes a person far less likely to be tempted toward dangerous amounts.Zahmbe wrote:Someone should convince Nick to let me have caffeine pills until I catch up with all my classes.....just throwing that out there xD.

#1 - I know it wasn't helping. When I introduced myself, I don't think I ever claimed I was anything like "nice" or "helpful."
#2 - Keep your eyes open. Sometimes the help we need - and get - doesn't resemble the help we want.

Yeah, why I stay up with her at night so she can sleep. Not always what she wants, but I usually get her to sleep by the morning for at least an hour or two, peacefully, something that is big for her for a lot of reasons.
Re: What's the latest in people's lives?
...................blah! damn you and your stubbornness. sleep is completely overrated

I didn't mean "keep your eyes open" like that. I meant, don't necessarily discount the advice I gave just because it didn't look like the advice Z wanted.

Oh, I know, I was just taking a metaphor and applying it literally as well as metaphorically. She hates that I force her to sleep.
Re: What's the latest in people's lives?
Because there is so much more I could be doing besides sleeping..... I hate sleeping

I love sleeping. Unfortunately it's partly because I'm generally bored and restless with little to do.

Re: What's the latest in people's lives?
not really. some of my most awesome poems and ideas have come after a week of not sleeping...
though to be fair... I kinda can't sleep for the most part.... for other reasons then the fact that I am taking 18 credits
