I'm feeling like crap now.
Well, earlier today I finally got back from Shane's house after the 40 Hour Famine thing. Since then, the caffeine and energy drinks have worn off, and now i'm left feeling like crap. Lack of food, showers and sleep doesn't feel good, I tell you. It was pretty awesome though, and I look forward to doing it again next year, if we're allowed/bothered to.
So yeah, I (as well as Shane and Adrian) ended up giving up food as well as sleep for the duration of the 40 hour period. Well, at least we tried. Giving up both is a deadly combination, as you end up using your extra, and essential energy on trying to stay awake. Without energy drinks, you're screwed. We didn't last too long. Heck, by the time we reached about 30 hours without sleep and food, we bailed and ordered pizza. That was some good pizza. Despite it being greasy and overall crappy, it felt like an orgy in our mouths. Our stomachs were filled, and our energy was replenised, which was a plus too. Because of this, we screwed the event over, and seeing as there was no turning back, we just decided to call it a night/day and fell asleep.
While we were busy staying awake, we spent our time hitting on people, fighting, playing games, watching DVDs and prank calling people. We also recorded a podcast, which was meant to be 4 parts, but we couldn't be bothered completing it. We were cooped up in Shane's garage for the majority of the event, in an attempt to "simulate poverty conditions" as well as to allow us to get away with spending the whole night awake. In the garage, you couldn't tell if it was night or day, so we just relied on our mobile phones for the time. To aid in staying awake, we drank energy drinks (namely V and Red Bull) and by the end of the event, we had finished a total of 9-10 cans. I was meant to make some comics for a new collaboration i'm doing with Shane and Van, but I didn't get around to doing it in the end.
When I got home earlier today, I took a shower. Due to not showering in two days, I stank like something nasty, and my hair felt greasy. After that shower, I was back to my normal self. I felt good. Amazing what a shower can do to you. Apart from installing that new TF2 Classless update, and subsequently playing the new King of the Hill game mode (HELL YEAH!) nothing important really happened when I got back home.
Well, i'm going to go and enjoy some well deserved sleep. This week was physically and mentally taxing, with Squad and the 40 Hour Famine, and sleep is just what I need. An article about Squad will come later, just be patient. Well, this is me, signing off. Good night. I wish you other 40 Hour Famine-ers good luck.
Also, if you wanted to hear the podcast thing, here it is in it's unscripted, unfinished glory: (Open or download file. Also, lol Mediafire. ;_;)
