Do you remember Muldle? It was an X-Files online game where you get 6 chances to guess the X-Files episode from screen shots. A new puzzle posted every day. After it went through the entire series a Quote puzzle was added, 6 chances to guess the episode from quotes. It was great for X-Files obsessives like me.

I used to stay up until midnight every night so I could play the new Muldle puzzle as soon as it dropped. I did this, instead of waiting until morning to play, so that I could avoid any spoilers that might get tweeted by those in other time zones while I slept. Really. I did.

I remind myself about this often when I’m having trouble falling asleep. I’ll look at the clock, and if it’s not yet midnight, or not long past it, I’ll remember that I used to stay up until midnight every night to play Muldle, so really it’s no big deal that I’m still awake. I’ll get plenty of sleep. 

I’m writing this at 11:49 pm. 

Thinking about how fun online fandom used to be. But I should probably get to sleep now.
