I'm a bit of an insomniac and I just get unbelievably bored trying to get to sleep. Any interesting stuff I can do online sans porn?
Wu's discussions are cool sometimes.
www.addictinggames.com kills a little time, but more often that not I'm not in the mood. I like the tower defence ones probably the most.
I do photograph editing when I got the inspiration...but I'm lacking in fresh pictures atm lol - I use www.picnik.com
Facebook obviously, but that gets old real soon.
I do online surveys for Amazon vouchers...but they're more boring than doing nothing most of the time.
...I'm running out of ideas now. I leave it to YOU!
EDIT: I also have the most organised iTunes you could think of - disc number out of how many discs, ditto track number obviously album, artist name - all grammatically correct and contributing artists and...yeah I don't sleep well...
If you click on random quiz at the top. And you just go from random quiz to random quiz I find myself thinking a few minutes have gone by and it ends up being like an hour. And since it isn't like action packed gaming like other online games you can actually get tired while doing it and sometimes helps me get to sleep.

quote:http://www.gamesetwatch.com/2006/03/penn_jillette_discusses_unrele.php The goal of Desert Bus was to, quite simply, drive a bus from Tucson, Arizona to Las Vegas, Nevada; a very very boring drive, as those of us who have done it know. There were a couple catches, though: in the game, your bus could not go over 45 miles per hour. Also, it veered to the right, just ever so slightly, so you could not simply tape down the accelerator button on your Genesis pad and leave the game alone; you had to man the wheel at all times. Oh, and did we mention the trip takes eight hours, in real time?
"You saw nothing. It was just desert stuff going by," said Jillette. "And there was a little green tree hanging from the rear-view mirror, one of those things that makes your car smell better? And it would just kind of drift in slowly to one corner of the screen. And you couldn't take your hands off the controller, and if you did...it didn't have a spectacular crash, it just slowly went into the sand, and then overheated and stopped, and then the game was you being towed backwards all the way back to Tucson."
"And when you went from Tucson to Vegas and did the full 8 hours, you had bus stops, and the bus stops...you could stop and open the door, but no one got on. No one's ever waiting for you. And if you went by them you weren't punished at all, because nobody was there. It meant nothing. And a bug hit your windshield five times during the eight hours, and that was the only animation. It was just road after road after road. Eight hours of desert bus. And then when you got in - and I love this - when you got into Vegas and pulled in and stopped, the counter - which was five zeros - went to 1. You got 1 point for an eight hour shift, and then a guy came in and said, 'Do you want to pull a double shift, Mac?' And then you could drive back to Tucson for another eight hours for another point."
Jillette then detailed the official Desert Bus contest that Absolute had planned to accompany the game:
"And we were planning on giving a very lavish prize for the person that got the highest score. It was the person who got like, a hundred [points]. So 800 hours of playing this. We were hoping that groups of people, like fraternities and stuff, would play."
"It was going to be, you got to go on Desert Bus from Tucson to Vegas with showgirls and a live band and just the most partying bus ever. You got to Vegas, we're going to put you up at the Rio, big thing, and then, you know, big shows.

Great link Johny! Woke up early this morning saw your message and just killed a couple of hours on a couple of links on that site.
Andy, I thought the best thing for insomnia was to find something so boring that it would put you to sleep. A site that interesting would keep you up all night.
