Homeless OC!

[sleeplessteen]

You bring me away from my coding for this? Did you really have to bring me over, I was fine just sitting in your head for a while.

Man, you get cranky when you don't sleep.

Your coding?

[sleeplessteen]

Yeah. I'm making a computer program.

[talks_too_much]

Impressive. Mind if I ask what kind of program?

[sleeplessteen]

Thanks. It's not really that hard.

Not at all, I'm designing a program reduce the need for disk defragmentation.

[talks_too_much]

I've met quite a few people my own age that can't do it so it's impressive all the same.

Really? That'll help a lot of people and organizations.

[sleeplessteen]

Well, I'm really twice my age when you think about it.

Once I sell it. Then I can help my own family too.

[talks_too_much]

You are? I suppose if you're as young as you feel, you can be as old as you feel, too.

That's a good reason to do anything, helping your family. I'm sure they'll appreciate what you're doing.

[sleeplessteen]

So old are you then?

They're don't really understand. I'm just a freak to them.

[talks_too_much]

I'm still feeling pretty young, but I'm thirty-nine years old.

You don't look like a freak to me.

[lifewithoutrest]

And why aren't you sleeping, as well?

[sleeplessteen]

Because I don't sleep.

[lifewithoutrest]

Not ever?

[sleeplessteen]

Nope. Never.

[lifewithoutrest]

I see. That must get rather frustrating.

[sleeplessteen]

Only because I have to be extra quiet at night time when my family sleeps. I tend to use the time to study anyway.

[lifewithoutrest]

I'm betting you're quite intelligent. You mentioned coding?

[sleeplessteen]

More intelligent than my brother! But I guess I have more time to learn than he does.

Yeah. I'm creating a computer program.

[timey_wimey]

Yeah, they do that. You get used to it after a while. Well, more or less. Either way, you're usually free to complain about it.

[sleeplessteen]

Oh? Does yours do things to you as well?

[timey_wimey]

Every now and again, yeah.

[sleeplessteen]

Glad to know it's not just me.

[timey_wimey]

Oh, definitely not. We're all in the same boat here, really. Even the ones who reckon they're the people in control are just deluding themselves about it.

[sleeplessteen]

Sounds like you really know what you're talking about. Been there long?

[timey_wimey]

Oh, going on five years soon.

[sleeplessteen]

Wow! That's about twice as long as me! Though...she does tend to go through cycles.
