couldn't you add "astounding" at some point, just to round up? like, "surprisingly, most of them managed to reach the border without much astounding trouble".

6: I know, i was just kidding. My brother had a similar heart problem which healed itself. Nothing serious.

I think that i have a rough idea why is that happening, i mean sunrise for me is like a reality check, no matter how i had spent the night ( and lately i seldom go to sleep before 5 a.m.) when the light breaks through
i come to the realisation that it is all over. I don't see dawn as a new beginning i see it as an ending and that makes me really really depressed.
For example, yesterday i went out with the girlfriend of a friend off mine and we had a great time, we drank and watched all the people with masks (people here put on masks on the first of April) and talked for hours, afterwards we went to my apartment and we drank and talked more, i was laughing like crazy all the time but sometime around 4.30 i just sank. Nothing seemed funny and every problem that i had to solve during the day but i didn't hit me with full force. And i had the same feeling at dawn countless times before and i was just wandering if anyone else feels the same way.

And i don't think i am Undead with all this heartbeat and breathing

*puts you in the sunlight and sees that nothing happens* No, definitely not undead.

Sometimes i have that feeling of "ending" when i look at the clock and discover it's past midnight. I feel like the day is over and all that's left is tomorrow, and that's not a very welcome thought. My advice is try to go to sleep earlier.

@cuthalion: oh, well, if you routinely go to sleep at 5am then i assume that sunrise just makes you realize that you're tired. it happens to me every time wake up.

@rahve: that's a great suggestion. i've got a phrase that sounds more or less like "most of them had next to no experience in ocean sailing, therefore fell victim to pirates, thirst and fatigue". astounding pirates sounds infinitely better.

i've finished the botswana cut too. Amounts to 747 words and that's where it will stay.

Predrag: Easy, mate. No need to throw everything away. You know you can talk to us if you need to. And yes, it wouldn't be interesting if it weren't complicated. That's hardly the reason it's complicated, though.

having reached the dreaded length of about 3500 replies, this thread is going to be closed.

however, i don't think a new one with the same name is a good idea. if you take a look around you'll notice that all generic threads that do not deal with a specific subject quickly turn into random chatting. i understand that it's sometimes not pointless and a way for users to socialize in a relaxed environment, but it doesn't make much sense to have 4 or 5 such threads, and to give them titles that stray from the actual content.

this is why from now on all the chatting, personal comments, full reports on one's health (physical or mental) are to be kept to the place currently known as the "feelings" thread. i'll certainly be lenient when it comes to other random comments appearing elsewhere, in part because i can't expect everyone to read this message, and in part because it's only natural to go slightly off-topic in some cases.
still, i expect that, in time, everybody will conform to the new rule. once the feelings thread has reached critical mass, the new one shall also have a title more in tune with its content.
