Am I a morning person?
Good god I hope not.
Due to circumstances beyond my control, for the past two mornings I've had to be up before 4:00 AM, and in to work before 5:00... AM....
It's not my normal schedule, so I try to make it easy on myself. I pick out my clothes the night before, lay out a little breakfast for myself, get the coffee pot all ready to go - so that all I have to do is plug it in. And I go to bed early, read for a bit, and drift to sleep by 8:00.
Yesterday i woke up at 4:00 exactly, and I had my alarm set for 4:04. I stumble downstairs, and at some point plugged the coffee maker in and gave the chinchilla's their morning treat. I don't really remember it though. The first thing I remember is getting out of the shower. Everything before that is sort of hazy. I don't remember much of the ride in, but somewhere along the line I start drinking coffee.
And, heaven help me, by the time I'm booting up my computer I'm in a good mood. Yes... a good mood. In the morning...
I hate people who are in a good mood in the morning. I want to punch them in the throat. Have you ever tried to karate chop yourself in the throat? It's harder than you'd think.
I want to be a night person. It's cooler. All the hip kids are night-people.
It's what you're supposed to be if more than 9 out of 10 of your shirts are black.
And if at least half of them come from Hot Topic.
And when people ask you about your dreams you're supposed to get this far away wistful look and say "I dont' dream anymore".
You're supposed to claim to be an insomniac because after cafe mocha's and a chai tea you had a hard time falling asleep last weekend.
You should have no problem with people who say they are vampires - real vampires - but maintain they are still nice people overall.
You should be able to scoff, without the smallest waver of modesty, when someone asks "him who?" after you tell them about your favorite H.I.M. song.
And by Aradia, you should NOT, absolutely NOT be happy in the morning.
!!Karate chop!!
*choke*
*gasp*
*ouch*
Maybe... just maybe I can blame it on the massive amounts of caffeine I have on these days.
Yesterday I had a full thermos, and 2 refills from the cafeteria at work. Today I've had a thermos, and 2 of the biggest cups they offer at PDQ. And to bolster that theory, but noon yesterday I had a splitting headache. Bad enough that I was looking for any leftover painkillers from my last kidney stone.
Does that save me at all?
