It's Funny the Changes that Take Place Within the Human Brain at 4 o'clock in the Morning

A word from the not-so-wise-who-had-to-figure-this-out-the-hard-way:  "Staying up till some ridiculous hour in the morning at a sleep-over, while it may seem a good idea at first, is most definitely, undeniably, without a doubt, absolutely, not a good idea."  Last Friday night was spent with two of my very good friends for our last slumber-party madness before I move.  We had pizza, soda, the Keira Knightly version of Pride and Prejudice, chocolate, an air mattress and lots of stuff to talk about.  The evening was bound to be great.  Note: When using a slightly deflated air mattress, do not sit on the edge as this may result in falling backwards in a very ungraceful manner.  At around 5:30 pm we promised each other that we would stay up till at least 4 am, and we did.  At least two of us did...one of us fell asleep for a little bit until our giggling woke her up, I'm not naming names....   Common sense and brain-cells tend to turn off at around mid-night.  Quite a few times someone would crack a joke that was not all that amusing, but in our befuddled state anything was sidesplitting.  And, even more often were those times when someone was trying to say one thing but was not able to perfectly form the words so her statement resulted in gales of laughter.  Of course the next day no one can remember the conversation surrounding the comment.  The outcome is a quote like this, "That's how you shave a camel."  Don't ask, I don't even remember who said it.

Despite the fact that Saturday afternoon was spent unconscious on the steadily deflating air mattress and that my sleeping habits have been out of wack all week, I would not have missed that slumber party for anything.
