Something like

"CRAZY, DUDE! IM GONNA BE LIKE A BAT THIS SUMMER!"

'cept not as enthusiastic.

I think I'll be a vampire, if anything. I've always loved biting necks.

While this can't do anything about people being asleep when you're awake, it can ease the conversion of time shit..

Again, i mention the wonder that is Swatch Internet time!

Yay! same time zone everywhere, defines a day as 1000 beats, centred so that 0 and 1000 correspond to biel mean time..

LOL. What i mean is, once school gets out, all bets are off on when the new four-hour period classified as 'morning' starts.
:-D

edit -- LOL solid, exactly (didn't see that the first time, sue me)

One of the oddest things i've ever experienced was when i got up, took my shower, etc...went to McDonald's for breakfast. Then i noticed it was 5:00 pm. They weren't serving breakfast. And then it started getting dark outside and i just woke up! <freaks>

I hate timeshifts! They are so damn unpractical, I mean, they don't only give you jetlags when you travel, but they also complicate internet life quite a lot. Most detnet posts are made while I am asleep - I feel left out.

Not mentioning the difficulties of ICQ and IRC talking here...
Does anyone have a clue how to deal with that problem?

Find a job where you can pick your hours, then start living your day according to whichever timezone you choose. Change your clocks and your sleep routine.

It's all a matter of priorities. If it's less important to you to deal with your own local time (shops being open, etc.), then go for it. (That's not meant as an insult.)
