@Apocryphiliac One of those days that I'd set the phone off entirely and go to bed for a grudge nap.

@PaganMother @Apocryphiliac Naptime in our house is sacred. NO phones on. I don't care who dies... it can wait until I wake up.

I think about the "beforen-times" when we all had phones tied to the wall with no answering machines. You simply got to the call when you got around to it.

Take that epic nap homie.

@Virtualk @PaganMother oh someone about to die… the next one who calls me… 💀

@Apocryphiliac tell them you're putting your phone on airplane mode so you can crash.

Er, wait...

@CannibalHoliday FTW. @Apocryphiliac

@CannibalHoliday @PaganMother omg why does everyone want to talk to me all of a sudden during the one hour window today that I want to nap. Doesn’t matter if we haven’t talked in weeks or months, for some reason they all circled it on their calendars for a phone call with me today between noon and 1:00… wtf I’d think they were pranking me but they don’t talk to each other, bc everyone in my family is divorced just sweet jeezy petes LET ME SLEEP!

@Apocryphiliac @CannibalHoliday It's pretty bad they do that. x.x Are you okay with turning your phone ringer off, or shutting off your mobile for a while to nap? That's usually what I have to do in order to catch a few spare zzz's.

@PaganMother @CannibalHoliday I’m gonna have to. I just got an accidental redial from one of them. Next one Ima chuck this phone through the window… 😝

@Apocryphiliac @PaganMother @CannibalHoliday I do this thing on android where I have 'starred' contacts - my husband, my mom, and a few close loved ones. A lot of my family is not even on that list.

And then when I switch to 'do not disturb' mode, I can sleep but also if any of them have an emergency, they can wake me!

@mouses @Apocryphiliac @CannibalHoliday Funny story I remembered with this subject mentioned: Was rooming with a friend out in California. We had this "friend" of his that would drop by, drunker as a skunk and would raise all kinds of hell at odd hours. One time that "friend" dropped by while I was sleeping following an all nighter. I don't think anyone in that neighborhood can forget my naked ass chasing him down with a baseball bat. Didn't hit him, but scared the shit out of him for sure.

@mouses @Apocryphiliac @CannibalHoliday And yes, that same "friend" sobered the hell up and left as soon as I finished yelling at him. Told him if I hear him slurring about the place again I'd beat the hell out of him for disturbing the peace. (Needless to say, he never turned up at our place without calling to check and see if we wanted his company around and to ensure he was stone cold sober.)

@PaganMother @Apocryphiliac @CannibalHoliday People who get out of control when drinking are so annoying.

I enjoy some alcohol from time to time, hell - I even allow myself to get drunk once in a great while. I don't bother others or get all weird or show up at random places. Hell, if I've had a single drink I refuse to even leave the house for 8 hours.

@mouses @Apocryphiliac @CannibalHoliday I know right? I mean I had gone more than 30 hours without sleep at that point in time when he turned up drunk like that, and my roommate knew I was dead tired of his friends shit. Third time in the same week he did that, and I tore after him like I was set to kill the man, even though I literally haven't a violent bone in my body. Nude as the day I was born, I guess the dude didn't expect to get a full body flash while running from me and a baseball bat.

@mouses @Apocryphiliac @CannibalHoliday But again, I'm a taurus, and I have a pretty long fuse. Once I go off, it's usually explosive, but that was one little story I had to share cause it was just hilarious that the dude had the balls to come back after that and apologize for waking me up that way a few days later.

@PaganMother @Apocryphiliac @CannibalHoliday So good.

I've had a few adventures in this life, but none of them featured running down the street naked with a bat! 😉

@mouses @Apocryphiliac @CannibalHoliday It's one of my favorite drunk night chill out and laugh stories honestly. It really did happen and I'm still shocked I didn't get arrested for public indecency for it, but I was so drag ass tired at the time it went down, I didn't care, I was ready to bust his ass for waking me up for bullshit reasons.

@PaganMother @Apocryphiliac @CannibalHoliday lmfao I've so been there, but thankfully during the worst sleep deprivation times I've ever had, no one was loud and annoying and crazy when I finally was able to sleep.

I'd never be violent or hurt anyone, but I'd for go off on someone and get them the fuck out of the house and lock the door.

@mouses @PaganMother @CannibalHoliday @Jezibaba
I've narrowly avoided oversleeping the two things I'd scheduled for today. Woke up just in time to get to the dentist (of course when I got there they told me my appointment had been cancelled) and barely woke up in time to get this (shitty) computer booted up for Hellraiser. 😅

@Apocryphiliac @mouses @CannibalHoliday @Jezibaba Got some rest, I hope?

@PaganMother @mouses @CannibalHoliday @Jezibaba Yep! Good now. 👍

@mouses @Apocryphiliac @CannibalHoliday That's pretty much what I ended up doing. I went off the deep end that day and well...I won't forget the look on his face as I picked up that bat and started chasing his ass down the street in nothing but my birthday suit. My roommate had some interesting comments afterwards, but the death glare he got when I stalked my happy ass back into the bedroom had him hold off until I was rested and in a far better frame of mind.

@mouses @Apocryphiliac @CannibalHoliday Back then had someone brought up that incident, I'd probably give them to death glare from hell over it and mutter something about learning how to use a chain saw to scare folks off from waking me up like that again. (I really am harmless, the threat on that drunken fool was purely on whether or not his feet moved fast enough to stay away from me entirely since he busted into the bedroom shouting some bullshit when I had JUST shut my damned eyes.)

@mouses @Apocryphiliac @CannibalHoliday These days I just look back, shake my head in bafflement and wonder how in fucks name I avoided jail cells my entire life with half the antics I pulled off back then.

@PaganMother @Apocryphiliac @CannibalHoliday For real, right?

I got lucky with all the dumb shit I did, only one stay in the awful place that is the us justice system.

Pro life tip: Do not be trans and end up having to do a little bit of time. It's really bad.

(Please note: My time was for a victimless, non violent, non dangerous crime. I was at a rave with a couple pills (literally a couple) in my pocket. Not selling, not buying, not driving, not doing anything but enjoying the music)

@mouses @Apocryphiliac @CannibalHoliday Oof, you didn't deserve the time. Hell, most drug charges of possession aren't deserved IMHO.
