Insomniacs, the Phantoms of the Internet
theodp writes "Ever since she was a toddler, freelance writer Lily Burana has been a Stay Up Late kind of girl. When her kindergarten teacher asked students 'What time do you go to bed?,' young Lily felt compelled to lie rather than rat out her own mother by saying, 'Oh, between midnight and 1 a.m.' She still suffers from insomnia, but has discovered that Facebook is the Promised Land for the awake and alone. She finds comfort in the company of others who, like her, live counter to the conventional rhythm of a sunny-day world."
Wow... am I the only one in this thread at this time of day?
before those 1am facebook sessions or Mark Zuckerberg is gonna read all her emails
..but their PRs damned quick to put out some crap on how simply lovely its togetherness is anywhere theres a big, bad story on how its founders steal your passwords and go through your emails. RESPECT!
She was a stripper, is there anything else I need to know? I probably won't hear anything else after the word stripper, anyway....
I'll be here all night.
The article makes an interesting point: her husband "keeping up a soldier's rhythm". I suffered from exactly the same problem during childhood and adolescence, until the Dutch Marines made the error of accepting me in their ranks. It totally cured me. ( Being daily kicked and yelled out of your bunk at 5 am is a sort of a horse's medicine, but Gawd - did it work !! )
Religous speak to God. Insane are spoken to by God. When all shut up, one can finally hear Shostakovich in peace
This is obviously a desperate cry for help from Lily - she's never been able to escape the shadow of her more famous sister, Carmina.

She could just start fight club, like a normal person!
I'm trying to teach myself to set people on fire with my mind... Is it hot in here?
OK. I'm just guessing, but the structure and pacing of your paragraph lead me to think that you might benefit from less caffeine in your diet. :-)
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
"These lumivores reject the safety of darkness and appear to seek out light. Sickening !"
If all else fails, immortality can always be assured by spectacular error.
> "It was kind of a strange sensation brushing my teeth with my roommate at midnight; She was going to bed, i just got up."
Have you never heard of a toothbrush?
Calling it a disease is wrong. Saying it can be cured is like trying to bleach a black man white or beating a gay man with officially approved porn.
So it's possible then.
