Father Problems

Tell your father if you don't get it your way you don't love him anymore.

Also claim going to sleeping that early might make you take up smoking.

Works every time.

If you're still looking for book suggestions, Saucer and Saucer: Conquest by Stephen Coonts were really good reads.

Set a time to go to bed based on what you want to do. Using some generic examples, I can say that browsing HM takes at least 10 minutes, and finishing an online game can take up to 15 minutes.

Say "I am going to try to go up 2 levels in Halo 3, check e-mail, etc., unless it gets to 11:00."

That should prepare you pretty well to go to sleep.

Well I went to borders and picked up two books, Minds Eye, and Map of Bones. I'll probably force my self to start reading them tonight. I'll procrastinate about starting a book, but once I start, it'll be hard to put it down.

Also wondering, does any one know of a book that maybe a game hacker/modder wrote, about his/her ideas and experiences on hacking computers, games or other things of that sort? I don't know why but I like to read on other peoples experiences on things like that

He thinks because I took a nap today that I stayed up all night, which I didn't I went to bed at 3. So tonight he says he's going to turn off the electric, and the fuse box is in his room! So I'm like so screwed, there is no way that this will put me to sleep early.

What should I do, I mean I have an Ipod Touch, but that will only last so long. I can't even watch TV, I wont even have light

Thats it? THATS your father problem?
You could just... Read a Book, its not all that bad at all.
Just say "I felt like taking a Nap Just because". There is no problem here.

As for that Modder book... http://www.amazon.com/Black-Halo-Mods-S ... 0672328046

Get this modding book instead instead: http://www.amazon.com/Halo-Hacks-Tools- ... _9_rdsssl0 Because it talks about Prometheus and modders from this site. Mind you it is old now.

Smother him in his sleep, cut off his face and wear it as a mask. Go to his job as him, being careful not to arouse suspicion. Then stay up all night with your new found adulthood, you've earned it.

Or just do what he says and decades from now put him in a home and never visit him. That's what I would do.

They wrote books on these? Why was I not told!?!?

As for you HPDarkness1, you have proven yourself worthy. You are officially part of the resistance.

You stay up late Grim.

I don't usually ever stay up past 1.

I"m not sure if this will help but if you can somehow stay up all night you'll be tired by 10pm the next day and you should be up by 8am. I don't think this is healthy but it works for me when school starts. I guess it's like changing your sleep time without forcing yourself to sleep.

If I take a nap during the day my mom instantly thinks I'm sick or something.

And if you have like 3 or 4 battery backups you can keep a pc running for 2-4 hours. But I think your dad will notice you piling them up.

I have a surge under my desk that provides me backup power for an hour and a half. You can try buying one without him knowing and use it. But I wouldn't go that far.

Or you could just go to bed, and go to sleep.

I don't care what you say, it's a fact... if you go to bed, you will eventually fall asleep.

I was expecting a serious problem when I clicked on this thread, like your father was abusing you or something/

Big deal if you can't use your computer at unsociable hours, get over it. If that's a 'problem' in your life, man you have it easy.

I've done that befor, but I think that might be a bad idea doing it in the house.

Yea, me and my cousin stay up like all night. And our fathers get up at like 8 or 9 even on weekends.

But it's the only thing that entertains me. My friends and I use to skateboard, and I was really good at it. But most of them stopped so I have no one to skateboard with. And no place in my town hirers under 16 so I can't get a job.

Get a bottle of spirits, vodka or whiskey, then sneak out of your house, go to a park or something with your friends and get really drunk. You might even get some disappointing sex out of it if you take some girls along.

Or if you aren't into going out why not write programmes on a piece of paper. I sometimes write programmes on a piece of paper and then when I get on the computer and type it up and then see if they work like I planned.

Or you could sleep? Go to bed at like 12, then the next day, wake up at 9, then go split firewood all day. I guarantee the next day you will go to sleep at like 10.

Grim, go learn the guitar. If the computer is the only thing that entertains you, then you have to find some new interests.

I have a guitar, but it broke (no sound when pluged into the amp) and I don't have the money to get it fixed. I think im gunna take up skateboarding again though.
