Just wow...

I use this icon because apparently I "iz ded" to the world when I'm sleeping.

I mean, really really.

There was a shootout, an honest-to-god shootout not even half a block away from me last night (which you know, I should be more freaked about, but apparently I'm like "Oh, guns happen.") Do I wake up? Do I have a moment of clarity where I'm like "Jesus Christ it's a lion! Get in the car!" or some equivalent?

No.

I just snore.

This worries me, because now I'm really wondering if someone were to, I don't know, break in or something, would I just snort and roll over?

Because it's all about me and not my traumatized neighbors who just had someone die in their front yard.

Are you a geek? If so, I'll send over the Geek Protector. He won't sleep through something like that - and protect you as well!

Actually, my hubby's a sound sleeper too. He's slept through massive thunder and lightning (when he lived on the coast, where they're bigger and better than inland) storms, and he said he slept through a big fireworks display that was only five minutes walk from his place once!

And he was in London when that big hurricane (big for the UK) hit in the 1980's...and didn't know anything had happened until he left to walk to work the next morning!!!

He almost slept through the recent earthquake (which shook the house something fierce) and says it was more me that woke him up more than the house shaking...!!!

As for me, not a light sleeper once I get off, but the above things tend to wake me, so not a particularly heavy one either!

Maybe you should get a guard dog? Oh, wait, that's right, I'm sending the big guy over instead...!

Am I a geek? *points at icon* The Geek Protector definitely wouldn't sleep through that.

(And wow, I'm not sure I could sleep through natural disaster... just maybe a war or two)

We actually just recently got a German shepherd, but she's still very much a puppy, so we have to keep her locked up at night, and consequently my dog gets to keep her company rather than sleeping with me. Hasn't really bothered me that much until I remember how much I rely on her to be my bio-alarm clock.

But yes, send the big guy! XD
