24-hour party person

When my head hit the pillow at 10.30am today, I'd been awake for 24 hours. I really don't do that sort of thing anymore, after a health scare a year or three back. Except I just did. What made me stay awake for an entire day and night? It started as a regular card/board-gaming session with my pals SC, LC, TC, LPO and a cute cat called Loki. For some reason, we all got drunk and became appropriately silly. In the wee hours, myself and another party decided to head into the city. Ignoring more traditional sightseeing destinations such as the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, we opted instead for visits to the Bada Bing strip club in Kings Cross and Star City Casino in Pyrmont. Both of which were blah. After seeing him to a train, I then had three bright ideas: (1) eat a greasy breakfast in a cafe, (2) spend an hour at work sorting holiday e-mails while waiting for the dorkgeeknerd shops to open, and (3) see what stuff I'd missed during the fortnight I'd been on vacation. Eventually, I got home and grabbed a few hours' sleep and will shortly catch several more. The weird thing is: I feel fine. Wasn't sick at any point. No headache. No sniffles or sore throat from being out'n'about (digits crossed). Sometimes your body just puts on its invisible cheerleader outfit and screams, "Bring it on!" I wish it wouldn't.

List of purchases I didn't deserve after such bad behaviour, but which should at least keep me home for a while:
* "Doctor Who: Aliens And Enemies" book (new)
* Latest air-freight copy of UK sci-fi/fantasy/horror magazine "SFX"
* American "Newtype" anime mag (July)
* "Death Note" #1 manga
