Despite having no official bedtime as a child, I still went to sleep, and slept for the appropriate amount for someone my age. So it still took some convincing for Mom to let me stay up for the all night Saved By The Bell marathon. But she did. My best friend, who lived next door, came over. We sat on the brown flowered couch, eating chips and feeling thrilled at doing something so unusual. She fell asleep. I did not.
The last episode of the marathon finished at 7 AM. I really felt like I had accomplished something.
Looking back, I think I accomplished cursing myself.
