"You should try sleeping Tami.... I find it to be really fun, and I think that you would as well if only you would try it" - Alejandra, my room mate from Chile
Anyone who knows me even a little bit knows that if you want to do something any time between the hours 10pm and 5am... I am the girl to see. My housemates are begining to see a trend in my activities lately because I think that they are all getting a little more social with each other and staying up later themselves.... not really wanting the servalence all that much i kind of liked them better when they hid in thier rooms. I personally don't see the fault in being a night owl.. what no one seems to understand is that I have always been a night owl... it's just that now because of a changing work schedule I have a friend who is kind of a forced night owl. Four nights a week it's not uncommon that I come home around 2 or 4am.... We go out and have fun... the other nights a week i try to hang out with others but if not then I am reading a book, or on the internet until these hours. Maybe it's the inherent writer in me that can't seem to notice or care about a normal timetable.. who knows.
I do have a good reason for the schedule... a good reason in my book at least. Now it's more of habit than anything else. Besides there is somthing intimately beautiful about walking down the streets of Jackson at two in the morning just before the snow plows come out when we are having the beginings of a storm. For me time and distance change when the sun goes down and although I realize that Karin may be the only one who might understand that statement- that is how it is. People, like animals, seem to come to life at night..... there are no more meetings to get to at night... no more work schedules to work around and potentially skip out on...my life starts at night.... and I like it that way. there are more, less poetic and quirky reasons... but those are held deep in my heart resting for the right people.. right where I leave them, to avoid them.
