And not at that puny one second per second into the future time travel that everyone does. I just went back an hour. What are you going to do with your extra hour?

Writing, mostly. I'm about 4 days behind on NaNoWriMo.

But I'm really glad my sister reminded me about it a couple hours ago. I was planning on only getting about 3 hours of sleep tonight, but now maybe I'll get 4! :smallbiggrin:

Not if you stay up to write and hang out in the playground. *hands pillow and blanket, shoos to bed* :smalltongue:

I, for one, will use the extra hour to catch up on the sleep I missed the past 72 hours saving your species, planet, and star from retroactive nonexistence at the beginning of time itself. Assuming nightmare based insomnia doesn't keep me up.

Do you see? Time is simultaneous, an intricately structured jewel that humans insist on viewing one edge at a time, when the whole design is visible in every facet.

Usually I give myself an hour extra in the afternoon, but given that I don't want to be an hour early to work, I guess i'll get an extra hour of internets before sleep.

No it isn't. It's a dynamic structure of fascinating complexity and intricate motion, but it certainly isn't simultaneous, nor is the pattern implicit in the parts.

Me, I'll try to find out why the vintage 1960s police box showed up on the lawn.

No change to schedule. I had gradually become offset by about an hour before this happened.

Our time-travel was last week. That scored me an extra hour of sleep. Yay?

Since I've eaten breakfast already, by going back it'll stay in me but the actual bacon I ate will be back in the fridge. Double breakfast ftw!! :smallcool:

Apparently ignorance really is bliss, because every time I read one of your posts I wonder if it's true and it worries me to no end.

Yup, I did my time travel last week too. But I guess I'd welcome you latecomers to the timeline where the cool kids are. :smallcool:

Unfortunately Australians are burdened with one less hour. Why, Daylight Savings, why must you be so?
Incidently, if you travel from Australia to some other destination in the world, you'll be travelling back in time :) Unless it's NZ, then you'll be travelling forward in time.

Don't worry your not the only one.. What really worries me is that makes him the hero of the story.. meaning I would probably end up being a random bystander.

And we all know what happens to random unnamed guy #6 in adventure stories.:smalleek:

Post pics.

I planned on getting extra sleep, but I went to be an hour later than normal, then I got woken up after only 6 hours of sleep, so so much for that.

Imagine though, that all this daylight-savings and the-moving-forward-of-time business may have caused a miscalculation somewhere in the distant memory of the past.
Perhaps we're really in the year 4510?

I`d spend my extra hour posting a thread in this forum and constantly refreshing it to see if comments were made.
In reality I would probably procrostinate.
And by the way, I gained one hour 1-2 months ago.

1-2 months ago? Not weeks? Where do you live?

I'll use it trying to find the reason I just went back in time. If possible, to know when it'll happen again so I can do anything I want only to have all mischief forgotten and fixed later :smallyuk:

Tell me about it. My first guess was that by the end of this I'd have chewed my fingernails off, but new estimates suggest that by the end of the month I will not, in fact, have arms.



And not at that puny one second per second into the future time travel that everyone does. I just went back an hour. What are you going to do with your extra hour?

Well, it doomed us all!

I can also skip a few hours to the future by sleeping.

In Israel. There was a big mess about it, and it`s not usually changed in September-Octobar (I don`t remmember when exectly). I don`t remmember why it was changed early.

^ They changed it in September to accommodate those persons who observe Yom Kipur and do not care to fast in the darkness (doesn't happen every year because the Jewish and Christian calender do not always align the same way). Anyways, not a topic one should go far into on these boards.

Ha. Ha I say. I'd be the hero the way the Kokiri Sword is the hero of Ocarina of Time. I'm not even sure I'd qualify as a supporting character.

* = Gym, Tan, Laundry. The guido pre-club mantra.

But since I don't tan. Like at all, it's impossible for me to get darker than "slightly milked down latte" and I did my laundry yesterday, the only thing left for me to do is gym.

Sorry. I was forced to sit through 3 episodes of jersey shore yesterday.

I spent my extra hour at IHOP with board gaming friends, secretly hoping I didn't pass out and slump forward into my eggs and hashbrowns.

I spent that hour asleep.

Yay more sleep!

I did not notice the extra hour at all. Ah well, it's just an hour, those come and go.

Every spring I lose an hour of sleep. Every fall, I gain an hour of wakefulness.

How much of your life makes more sense under the assumption that each year, you fall one more hour behind on sleep?

Quite a lot of it actually, but then again, my sleep schedule is pretty messed up anyway, so I wouldn't tell the difference. :smallamused:

I'm pretty sure I read an article somewhere that the time shift messes up your sleep schedule for several months...

Unfortunately, I did nothing with it. This year, I stayed up until 2 AM so I could set my alarm clock back at the actual proper time. However, after doing so, I went to sleep anyways because I was tired. In retrospect, it would have been more fun to get up at my normal time and then set it back.
