 Think about it, first you have us screw balls.
  Then you have these eyes up top just watching you. Waiting  for an exact moment to strike when you least expect it.
 
  I vote that the eyes should shoot lasers somehow.

I vote that they should be panda eyes OR that every member  should donate a picture of their eyes in the same fashion  and you get a random pair everytime the index loads.

  why do i feel the need to stay up late all the friggin  time?
 
  nothing is happening on the internet.  i'm too  hungover/drunk to focus on playing metroid. i'm pretty  tired. nobody is doing anything tonight.  and, sleep is  pretty awesome.
 
  but, i just can't force myself to go to sleep at 10:20 on a  saturday.
 
  that's dumb.

it's so hard for me to finish reading an entire book.
  it's the same with videogames (and everything i supose).  i  usually read 3/4 of a book and then lose interest (even if i  really like the book).  it's frustrating.
 
  in order for me to finish a book i almost have to force  myself to read it in a day or two, or it just never gets  done.
 
  .. as an interesting aside, i do have a totally amazing book  called the art of looking sideways that i recomend to everyone here.   every page is designed differently and features it's own  stand alone content.  so, you can flip to any page in the  book, read it, and close the book and you don't miss  anything.  and, yet somehow the book comes together as a  complete work. it's great.  and VERY worth the price.  the  book is nearly 4 inches thick.

heh.  I had a period recently when I wouldn't finish things,  and I'm trying to squelch that.  It started because I would  force myself to finish awful things =)
 
  These days I just use a huge number of filters before  deciding to put up with something; if I leave music on my  hard drive (or purchase it) I've already seen commentary,  asked people I trust, scanned samples.  With books I look  over lots of lists, try to extrapolate based on my tastes..
 
  bah I'm talking out of my ass, I'm sure you do this too  (duh).  If you like science fiction I recommend Iain M.  Banks's Culture novels.
 
  Funnily enough, I have such a great dread of starting  something and it sucking, that I actually start many fewer  things than I used to =)  This dread is practically  physical.

HRAHRAHRA the irony; I finally read the last paragraph of  your post and though 'that awful book sounds like a god-send  for ADD', and then ... oh shit

when it comes to music i usually find a few artists i like  and listen to them for weeks at a time.
 
  i suppose i'm pretty fucking boring that way.
  it's not unheard of for a cd to stay in my car stereo for  two months straight.

oh I definitely get stuck in phases, and become a ridiculous  advocate of whatever it is during that interval.  Makes life  quite fun.  Mine don't really last a month (though I've  listened to piezo daily for probably a month, and no other  autechre in many), but still then they disappear and it's  really nice to run into them again, not just because they  are fresh but all this weird nostalgia comes back.
 
  I almost wish I was forced to listen through whole albums  though, it's pretty miserable with this huge automatically  seekable hard drive, I can get anything I want any time.   Really makes my collection feel teeny and, well, boring.
 
  now I tell you, I'M the boring one.

[totally uninteresting personal info]
  when i was like 16 or 17 i had a jeep cj7.  actually, i  still have it..
 
  anyway, it had a tape deck, and the single for beck: loser  stayed in that tape deck for months and months.  it was only  two (or maybe three) songs long, but for some odd reason i  didn't get bored of it.
 
  my first serious girlfriend tore that cassette up on our  first date.  i'm pretty sure that was foreshadowing.

hahaha.
  you ever listened to old scene (demoscene) music?   Chiptunes, tracker shit, and the like? 
 
  Anyway, these were pretty neat music formats.  I guess you  can relate it to midi, in that it specified where notes fall  in time and you passed it to some interpreting software (or  hardware!) which generates actual sound from it (unlike  waveform approximating files).. anyway this relation is dim  because it has so many features regarding what you can do,  and also the samples are included in the file so it's not  like a different instrument bank gives different music  (though yeah don't worry, I know that's part of the point of  midi).
 
  ANYWAY.  one feature is loops you could specify.  I have  this one track that I could loop like 20x.. of course not  much.. aw shit now I want to punch myself.
 
  Funny thing is I could show it to people and it would take  like 18x to realize it had looped..

hmm.. doesn't ring a bell, but i could very well have heard  it and not known.
 
  is it like fasttracker stuff? mod files and the like?
  just about everything i know about that kind of thing is  from looking over pomme's shoulder for the last 13 years or  so.

xm/mod/et al are great fun.  some awesome stuff out there,  too.
 
  and oh yeah, the demoscene is still /very/ active.  they're  still composing tunes on c64's and the like!
