Well, in my case, I'm home, having just gotten back from a night on the town--where by 'town' I mean 'high school' and by 'night' I mean 'Senior Lock-In'. I've been there since eleven. I got a few hours' sleep before then, but other than that I'm running on yesterday night.
It was great. It really was. See, the thing was that there were only about 70 people there (of 300 or so seniors), and it self-selected for people who thought that giant Twister, sumo wrestling, and DDR were good ways to spend a Friday night. So it was mostly people I'm at least vaguely friendly with, and all the activites were fun. To start with, we played a few games of tag, and then everyone split up. I (and Shiro, Stormflare, Aerinth, and Sarah) went to play DDR. We also played a game of Twister, which was fun. We got to play a couple games of dodgeball--a rare treat, since the game is no longer allowed in gym class, but everyone likes it.
Then we played cards, DDRed some more, ate sugary things, and generally had fun. It was like a large-scale version of one of our parties at someone's house.
I'm not even that tired. I attribute this to staying active. Oddly enough, if I kept doing things, I didn't feel tired. Well, I did, but just-did-DDR tired, not need-sleep tired. It's like I tricked my body into thinking it was a lot earlier than it really was.
It still doesn't feel like 5:30 in the morning. Thus the post.
That was probably the most fun school event of my high school career. (Pity the dances aren't more like that.)
(Yes, this is what I do on Friday nights. Leave me alone.)
