Night owls unite!

It's officially that time of night where everything is hilarious and I'm contemplating either just going to bed or drinking a shit load of red bull

Where are all of my fellow night owls?

1pm in the afternoon here.

🙂

^No, I didn't. Yikes. :O

Thanks for the heads up!

^That's a good question. As much as I prefer being up at night, it's somewhat irksome when that's not the norm. Overall though, I would say I enjoy being a nightowl.

And same here, I've always wanted to work graveyard shift. I get all my best work done at like 3am anyway, it's crazy.

i work midnights so I have no choice I keep the same schedule all the time now

hello there kitty kat 🙂

have you guys been night-owlish since a very young age?

i remember being sent to bed at 8.30 pm and not sleeping until way past midnight....no wonder i was so grumpy in the mornings.

soooooo many thoughts in the night time.

Yep, major insomniac here, pretty much the same experience as a child. As of late my philosophy on trying (and failing) to get to sleep on time has just been "fuck it".

i can't remember when i went to bed like a normal person lol.

do you guys even "prepare" for bed. i gave up on that. just drag myself to the bedroom. plonk on the bed. often i just fall asleep on the couch.

anybody relate to that?!

Yep.

Question: do any of y'all do ALL the things you love doing AT NIGHT that the average people loves doing in broad daylight? For instance. Do any of you go shopping late at night say around 3am?

Yep. Well, not shopping, considering my entire neighborhood shuts down at like 10PM, which blows.

Do any of you do yard work late at night, gardening, fishing, go to the gym, drive around town, do housework etc, etc, etc?

lol the only time I get any of this done effectively is at night.

I honestly hate how I seem to only be productive at the hours which I should be sleeping, but, eh.

Anyone home?

Present!

(It's 8:47 over here, what's it over there?)

'Tis 11:50. Where you at?

We keep it rockin, We keep it rockin—

You?

Michigan. u been?

Not yet, lol. Hoping to eventually though, I love travelling.

Travelling = another thing that's way more fun to do at night (because then you have an excuse for sleeping all day).

Anyway, what's Michigan like?

Ha. yee. Are you nocturnal?

Michigan's aight. We're getting into fall so the temp is gonna drop hella fast pretty soon. But fall is really pretty though so I don't mind it.

Not entirely sure if I count as nocturnal in the formal sense of the word, but for the most part, yep. Seriously, me at night >>> me during the day.

Cold weather is the best, part of the reason I love fall so much. And yeah, it is really pretty. When the leaves turn that dark purple color, yesss.

The temp's so sporadic here, one minute it's freezing, the next it's burning. Ugh.

haha. oh. I didn't think you had much of a temp change over in Cali. Or a fall for that matter.

Are you in college?

(sorry for taking forever to respond, I made the mistake of playing chess. I'm not patient enough to be good at it though -_-)

We do in norcal at least. Plus, it depends on where you go. Say you go from SF to Oakland, it's like stepping out of Antarctica and into freaking Kenya.

Nah, we totally have fall down here. I think you meant to say winter. 😛

Sure am! Really puts a damper on my nightventures though, and all of my classes are earlier this semester...

You?

Pfft, don't sweat it. 🙂

Haha. No, I think i meant fall ;]
I guess maybe it's cause when I went to Cali, I believe I was in Sacramento and there were quite the number of palm trees. I didn't really imagine palm trees to be the type to loose their leaves but, idk. That's good to know that you're not missing out on it though. :]

Yep. Do you live on campus?

Also, is it just me or is the site slower than usual today?

hell yeah it is. I was wondering if it was just my crap internet connection but every other site i visit is fine. ha.

i almost made a thread just to bitch about it. lul. :p

My DXP seems to be losing it's mind this morning.
Once again....

@BigCarlos

I pretty routinely do all the things you mention. I go to a gym 3-4 times a week. If I go there "early," then I am there around 10:30 PM. I am there around 2 AM at least once a week. I tend to shop at Walmart because 1) it is open all night, and 2) it is quite close to the gym I go to.
I don't drive around much, I do on the other hand walk, matter of fact, I walk about 1.5 miles to my gym, rather than driving to it.
Yard work, I don't do much yard work. I do assorted domestic things though. I tend to watch Craig Ferguson. His program ends at 12:45 AM. Yup, Craig F is over, time to get on with the rest of my "day."

Ahh, that explains it. I'm posted in Berkeley, and unfortunately we don't have too many palm trees here. Sad, they're great trees. 😢

Nope, I live in a crappy* apartment with my roomie.
*Good crappy, not bad crappy. You know, that crappy where it's like really low quality but in a kind of charming way and at first you hate it but then you really like it and I'm rambling here nevermind.

Another night owl checking in. I've been one for pretty much as long as I can remember. I work nights too so I don't really have a choice.....but I'm switching to day shift on Tuesday. Trust me, not by choice. I now will have to get used to getting up at 5 a.m. and be a normal person. fml!!!)

Another night owl restricted by the unforgiving day shift. You have my sympathies.

I absolutely love being a night owl and as soon as I can find another night job I'm there! 🙂
