    I use an Oyster card on the tube for my most of my regular travel and it costs me about 3 quid to get from East to West London (Snaresbrook to Hillingdon for example)

    Which is pretty decent as far as inner city travel goes. The buses are similarly cheap, just scan your card for a fixed fare.

    Sometimes when you just can't sleep, you just do things instead. Like me, I can't go to sleep no matter how hard I try so instead I just play PC games, have a movie marathon, or just spend it on TWC.

    I tried sleeping pills one time and they still didn't work. The best sleep I got on them was a whooping 3 hours.

    Well my sleeping pattern is dictated by what game I play. I'm playing a MMo ATM and my internet is incredibly bad from 1pm to 1am so I usually stay up to 8am and sleep in till around 2 or wahtever.

    Anyway, why do you go 4 days without sleep? Whatever for?
    Because I have developed a habit of it, and I cannot get rid of it no matter how hard I try. In 2010 and 2011, I had to stay awake for days studying. Maintaining the reputation of class topper isn't easy, you know.

    Once the exams were over, I got interesting games, like Tropico 4, and found my old disk of Simcity 4, and I was already a TW addict. So when my exams were over, I continued to keep awake playing PC games and reading books from my huge personal library, even though I had no need to. I still do that, and I read historical articles all night. For example, last night I was reading about the life of Marcus Aurelius and his tutor Fronto.

    This helped me last year when exams came again, but after that it is again my usual routine of keeping awake. And once I am in the game, I cannot stop playing it until it is at least a 7-8 hours' continuous session.

    In other words, I have ruined myself.

    About the hallucinations, it is not from TW games but from the history articles and books I read on a daily basis. The historically accurate movies and documentaries, and Europa Barbarorum ( ) do have some influence. For example, when I am awake for 3 days and I am going out of my room, I spot a Legionary standing guard at my gate. When I wash my face and come back, it has vanished.

    I do socialize. I admit, in recent years I don't have many friends, since most of my classmates live far, far away and are not good in nature. But I do have a social life.

    The only thing I wonder is, whom should I socialize with now. There is hardly anyone near my home, and all I have is my relatives and two old friends of mine.

    Well is she living far or somewhere near? If she's living a bit closer you could walk.

    That's not good man , you really need to sleep, it's very important for your body and particularly your brain. There are things your brain needs to do that it can do only while you are asleep. Also messing with your body internal clocks by sleeping at uneven intervals is not particularly healthy.
    You are 15, your body and mind can stand a lot, but don't yourself up too much, ok? It's just not worth it.

    No, Ferdiad really wanted to say that an organization is conducting secret experiments with you.
    In fact, TWC is just part of the experiment.
    And we are about to enter the next phase.
    Now, take a deep breath...(right) and relax

    Otherwise, listen to ninja Samuel´s good advice.
