I’m sure I’m not posing an original question here, but really… where does everyone go on Sunday?
Is it some kind of antiquated vestigial thing from our monotheistic days? Is Sunday still ‘the day of rest’? Does every blogger suddenly leave their computer to go and be with their families? Are those large Sunday lunches so vast that every blogger falls asleep afterward, not to awaken until Monday?
I might be slightly blinkered by the fact that I don’t have kids, or (m)any friends. I don’t go to church; Sunday isn’t a day of rest — it’s just another day for me. I wake up, climb out of bed, pour a massive mug of coffee, sit down at my computer and… where is everyone? It’s always so lonely out here in the blogosphere, with no one to keep me company.
Perhaps there’s some secret activity that everyone does, except for me. Can’t we we find something to do, or blog about on a Sunday?
So, tell me, where does everyone go on Sunday?

Well it was 10:12 am here. And I worked till 2300 yesterday evening. And was too wired to go to bed.

I know what time it is! I thought I was the only freak that woke up around 10am today. I blame the Spring sun being at a low-enough angle to go straight into my eyes in bed… urrgh.
Amphetamines, or?

Well I did leave a comment but you’r blog swallowed it… and now I can’t remember what I said!
Anyway, this blogger was on the beach today. Generally though, I don’t like Sundays (can’t shake off that ‘back to school’ feeling) so I stay away from the internet as it has been known to depress me.
But I’m here now *waves* and a bit sunburnt

The harsh life of the expatriate…
Is that where the ‘pink’ in your nickname comes from…?!

Nope…. I don’t usually go pink, just nice and brown. I was caught out today.
The ‘pink’ is just because i’m full of shiny pink glitter…

Haha no. I had to take my nursing student to the ER after she had a seizure. I stayed there for over 1 hour. Then I had tea, which was prob not a good idea. I didn’t get to bed until 3:30 am (well I guess it was 4:30 because of time change).

I’m here. Coincidentally though, because I have something to say on my own blog. Can’t say where everyone else goes… for my own part I’ve been relatively absent from the blogosphere lately, in case you hadn’t noticed
Maybe we can have pretend stay-in-bed-all-day-and-make-a-mess sessions on Sundays? (Note: I like to make up euphemisms at somewhat innapropriate times)
P.S. Andhari: Please don’t be mad at me for hitting on your internet boyfriend

Andhari and I would never work out, unless someone can shrink her just a little bit more so that she fits in my pocket… but until then…
Perhaps I should get on the Slack Train though; or I can go and sit in fields with a notepad and wait until inspiration hits, and come back on Monday with renewed vim and vigor!
That reminds me, you should certainly remove me from your Moderation queue on your blog… learn to trust me!

Ack, Miss Cui sneaking in before I could press enter on my reply… curse you!
Well I have this image of families all going to church, and then going back to… some house… and having a big meal…
I’m desperately trying to work out where most of the Internet goes on weekends (I manage a lot of websites, and the traffic is always much, much lower on weekends, across the board).
It’s probably the fact that many people surf from the office… or they just enjoy those loooong Sunday dinners
(My mother stopped making Sunday dinners… damn her)

Are you talking to me? I don’t have any unmoderated comments from you.
sebastian
Mar 8, 2009
I don’t see any other petulant young ladies, so I must be talking to you!
I mean that my comments go into a moderation queue, before they are published!
Ambles
Mar 8, 2009
Yes, but if I allow you your freedom I also have to give everyone else free reign! I just looked in my blogger settings, there’s no way to allow specific people to comment automatically. Sooooorry! (But really, if I have to watch out for anyone, it’s you! No one else tells me I’m un-cultured in response to my blog posts!)
P.S. Petulant? Really? What ever did I do to inspire such derision?

I am just winding you up, Ambles…
Ambles

For what, pray tell?

Um, no particular reason… If it’s any consolation, I normally only wind up people that I think are cute!!

I am too drunk during the weekends and too hungover on sundays to blog.

The boys are all at church, or watching football, and the girls are all tidying up their disgustingly large collection of shoes and bags…
