Re: Off Topic 2010

I'm trying to write a short story but I wanted to do some research on whether a specific condition existed; maybe you guys can help me on this one if you know. Is there an official diagnosis for a case of sleepwalking where the person is consciously aware of the actions they are doing, but they are sleeping all the meanwhile?

So for instance, if a sleepwalker goes downstairs and starts eating Honeycomb, when they wake up for real is there a possible case/scenario where they actually remember having done that?

Well, I'm not sure this is at all helpful to you, but I have a funny story about sleepwalking(I have plenty of stories, but this tops them all). I was really tired one day because I had to wake up early and go to a wedding and I didn't get much sleep. So when I finally got home, I went to sleep for about 3 or 4 hours. I got up when it was dinnertime, but I was not awake, I was sleep walking. Apparently I was wielding a fathead poster container like a baseball bat, and ran into my mom in the hallway. She was like, "you need to go back to bed" and I said "yeah I know" and she helped guide me back to my room and made sure I put down the poster thing. I only remember my mom talking to me, but I don't ever remember picking up the poster case, but I imagine it had to be hiliarous seeing someone walking around eyes closed wielding a poster tube.

I had some sleepwalking moments when I was younger, but apparently it was a result of me not going to the bathroom before going to bed at night, which is kind of strange. I don't recall the stories, they weren't all that good.

However I've had my share of half-asleep moments, where I would wake up from my mom or someone and be totally aware of what's going on, but I would tie in reality with what I just dreamed. So what I said made complete sense to me, but whoever I was talking to would just start laughing it off or say, "Brandon, you're sleeping." When I wake up in the morning, I would question whether what happened the night before was all a dream so I would ask, only to be told I was half-asleep.

I guess I'm trying to find a proper diagnosis of somebody who appears awake, and can even recall the events, but they are sleeping instead (like they're dreaming those exact things but there are hallucinations in the way as well, but they don't know they're sleeping/dreaming/sleepwalking). It's probably too rare of a condition to even be true, so I'll seek an alternative (maybe just the hallucinations aspect).

Things that suck:
-Caffeine headaches (Seriously. Ouch.)
-KFC's Double Down sandwich (Just tried it for the first time. Never again.)

Re: Off Topic 2010

I've had some sleepwalking episodes though none recently to my knowledge. I actually aparently had a tendency to wake up in the middle of sleep walking so I would wake up to find myself standing somewhere in my room or (on one occasion) sitting on the toilet. One time during the summer when I had my AC turned on and my room was essentially pitch black I woke up standing next to my bed and convinced I was stuck on the small dock at my aunt and ucnle's cabin on French Creek. I'm apparently more well known for talking in my sleep.

Ryan Ludwick's a Padre now, right?

Because his little Twitter avatar thing still has a Cardinals logo in it. And no Padres logo.

And no. I have no idea why I'm following Ryan Ludwick.

Yes, he is. In fact, he hit a big 3-run HR against the Cardinals a few nights ago.

You are either in a homosexual relationship with him, or you are hoping to be in a homosexual relationship with him.

Only 2 realistic options there are.
