1) Why are you up this late?

2) Why are you looking in this thread when you should be writing?



1 - I'm at work.

2 - I'm lazy and unmotivated right now. I've also spent the last 1/2 hour watching the new Star Wars trailer over and over again.

The question isn't why I am up so late, but why does every one else go to bed so early?

It's 10.30am. If I wasn't up I'd be a slob.

And probably lose my job....

When I'm hot on a bender, time become irrelevent.

And I'm a natural night-owl (even stayed up all night being born and then slept 'till noon after) for whom daylight tends to be gremlin-like (very bad for me mogwai).

Also, every sleep through a cat heaving by your head?

The first hint of purple is begining to appear in the sky, the rain is over, and I have just finished my writing for the night.

Ahh, the life of the writer...

I'm up working on my website! I have the weekend off from work and I am usually awake until 3 am. Of course tonight I'm sick (two days), so I can't sleep - not restfully.

:welcome: *Waves to all the night owls*

01. Why are you up this late?

Honestly? Because I'm planning furtively the assassinations of Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, and John Lennon. But don't tell anyone, because the last bunch of people I need riding my back is the governmental type.

02. Why are you looking in this thread when you should be writing?

Why? Why? You're asking me this? Why? Pfft. Well, I don't know why. But if I did know why, I'm almost certain it'd be a clever answer.

I haven't gotten any decent late-night writing done lately. Why? Because I recently bought a new computer and have spent the last month catching up on two years' worth of video games my last computer was too slow to play.

I just finished Halo. :guns:

I'm almost always up this late. What a fine idea this thread is. Yet another cat-waxing technique...THAT'S what we all need...

Why am I up this late/early? Woke up at 5, was supposed to sleep in this morning. But nooooo, I have to go and wake up. So, like any good writer, I'm here at AW stalling. Actually, I came to read the "idol" entries, just haven't made it there yet.

I only had minor editing to do tonight (Saturday doesn't count as a writing day for me)... so I'm just about to go to bed. I've been surfing for a little. Who else in on right now, and why are you here instead of in the club with yo peeps!

I'm always awake this time of night. I'm naturally a night owl.

Besides, I'm a redhead. Sunlight is a terribly cruel thing to do to someone like me. I'm always afraid I'll burst into flame, and be reduced to nothing but a pile of ashes.

Me too (always up this late, I mean, not a natural redhead).

Why I'm not writing: I don't know. Something's wrong with me. I can't get away from these boards. I swear I will, then something compells me to hit "reload." I am very disappointed with my willpower tonight. I did get some work done, but spent most of the last 16-or-so hours right here. I think it's because I want to make sure I'm right here when someone posts about PA's demise. It could take at least 3 minutes for someone to inform me by e-mail. I'd feel so behind.

Someday, I will unearth the post from waaaay back in the archives where Mac was a newbie and talking about how she could never imagine getting all the way to 100 posts (or was it only 50 posts?). I mocked her inwardly then, too. I knew we had a good'un on our hands, and we never let the good'uns get away.

1) Why are you up this late?
It's either this or spend time with the kids. All that "Daddy, please spend time with us. Daddy, we love you. Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!" crap gets on my nerves.

2) Why are you looking in this thread when you should be writing?
I am writing. I'm just taking another break. I schedule them every 30 seconds.
