I learned a new word today … knackered.
Knackered = buggered = stuffed = tired – alyndabear
That pretty much sums up how I feel today.
Since I’ve had a few people asking … yes I did end up going out last night for Halloween. I had fun, there was dancing and lots of laughing. Today on the other hand is not so much fun. I am not quite sure how I used to go out all the time and then go to class all day. I will tell you that sitting at computer all day is not fun when you’ve had 5 hours of sleep.
This has been my saving grace …
Have you ever had these crazy Monster Energy drinks? They make me feel hyper and drunk.
Oh my gosh I LOVE LOVE LOVE the no-sugar/low-carb Monster (Blue Monster, I call it).
Hmm I’ve never tried it. Is it just pumped full of caffeine?
I love the word “knackered” as well as other Britain-specific slang like “bloody” and “bollocks.” Caffeine doesn’t really affect me so I’ve never tried that drink. Sometimes I wish it would because it could be really useful.
Yucky- is that stuff any good? I guess I’m making assumptions based on my dislike of Red Bull…
never actually tried an energy drink. to be honest they kinda…worry me. haha
I’ve never tried that stuff. But I’m glad to here you ventured out last night – even if you are knackered.
this girl at my works swears by that stuff, she drinks the low-sugar one. Coffee makes me feel paranoid and drunk, so that Monster drink would probably kill me!
My doctor told me to avoid those drinks. Unless I would like to implode and/or start climbing walls.
I seem to remember many moons ago the height of geek-cool was “Jolt Cola” – it even has it’s own Wikipedia page these days…

… we used to talk about it in hushed tones back in the day when I was an IT student.
As good as… POWER THIRST?

You goober :) How did we used to do it?? Sloshed at night, semi-normal during the day? Take a nap and we were back at it again? I don’t know how we did it, but I am sure a good Power drink should assist in your getting through the day!
Those drinks got me through an entire summer of teaching theatre to kids. I had to cut back near the end of the summer though- even I realized it wasn’t normal to have THIS MUCH ENERGY at 5pm after 8 hours with 30 kids.
Go the knackered. I love it when others learn Aussie lingo.
Heard about dodgy and bodgy?
Hey, Elysa. You haven’t posted in a while. Hope you’re okay.
Woohoo Blog of the Week! Way to go!
if it weren’t for facebook i’d be worried about you!
and what’s this blog of the week business? :)
Elysa was featured on 20somethings this week. :p
Hope you are doing okay, miss Elysa!
Congratulations! featured blogger of the week…way to go!
I drink energy drinks only when I need to rid myself of a hangover, and that too with much dislike. Never tried monster though…
Even the can looks scary! I like the taste of energy drinks, but for some reason they make my ears hurt.
I had to come here specifically because I realized I hadn’t seen you show up in Google Reader for a while and I thought my feed to your site might be broken. Everything okay, I hope?
For me it’s definitely Sugar Free Red Bull.
Be careful though, too many and you feel like you’re having a mini heart attack!! I’ve been there (many mini heart attacks), and I’m now positive that there’s nicotine or something in energy drinks because I CAN’T STOP DRINKING THEM. :)
