3. I'm pretty sure you outlasted me at least once. And that with a better jetlag excuse. Wahh!

5. Your brain works _better_ without sleep? Or did it just roll over and play dead?

7. What about reading?

3. I think I probably got the most sleep of anyone at Wiscon. That last appletini Saturday night did me in so I got a full eight hours of sleep. :)

Glad you arrived safely. Lucky for you you didn't have to fly out the night before. The only reason I got home was I was the first person on my flight to realize it was cancelled. I was really nice to the lady behind the counter so she got me a window seat on another flight.

Intimacy. Because it's an equalizing force, whereas sex often acts a mechanism for enforcing inequalities, even among equals. Besides, I could imagine a "sex pill" that provides most of your RDA in a gel capsule; intimacy meds, well, not so much.

Would you rather be Crazy Editor Moles? I'm sure something could be arranged...

(P.S. It was nice to finally meet you.)

I don't think I managed to stay up past midnight even once. So there I seize your crown of lameness from you.

At least jetlag goes away. Eventually. In the meantime 3AM is the very best time to write the very best of stories. Go to it!

7. What about reading?

We have a winner!

(An ex once asked me if I had to give up something for the rest of my life, which would go first, sex or reading. File under 'questions to which there is no right answer'.)

Speaking of that, did anybody actually attend the panel where the results of that survey were announced? I have to admit, I figured reading for a total shoo-in.

say you're sorry!!! say you're sorry!!!

naw it's cool, i think a meme is, you know, open and shit.

Hannah, I don’t think it’s the no-sleep thing so much as having all y’all (not to mention all the smart people I didn’t know) around all the time when I was awake. (Feel free to, you know, arrange things that way.)

Jackie, I’m kind of liking “scary.” There was plenty of crazy to go around, but scary is rare. (And it was nice to meet you, too. More, please!)

Justine, you are my benchmark for all intercontinental travel-related superpowers.

My understanding of where the reading vs. sex panel ended up — I wasn’t there, but Mary Anne talked about it, and does here, somewhere down the list of bullet points — is that both reading and sex got deconstructed and broadened. If I think about intimacy in terms of that panel, it probably falls about 70% on the sex side and 30% on the reading side.

I'm fairly certain that the right answer would have been, "...with you?"
