Just the other day, my wife told me that I was obviously more of a night person than a day person, which I think might be true.
Anyway, her comment triggered a flashback to a period of my life in which everyone who knew me called me a vampire.
It was back in 1997 in Jordan, and I had just gotten an internet connection of my own at home.
I was over the moon with excitement, and just couldn’t get enough.
In a few days my schedule became as follows:
– Sleep all day long.
– Wake up at midnight and get online (making use of the free connection after midnight offer)
– Disconnect at 7:30AM
– Go to University to attend my morning lectures.
– Go back home at 10AM.
– Go back to sleep.
So basically, I lived in the night during that whole period.
I didn’t see anyone anymore, not even my room mate, because our time schedules weren’t the same.
Another fact that contributed to the nick name “vampire” was my bed. The matress had fallen in between the borders of the bed, making it look more like an open coffin than a bed.
So i actually stepped into bed rather than climbed into it, lol…
So, if you had a friend who slept all day long in some coffin-like bed, and lived during the night, what would you call him ?
Yep, vampire is the word.
I really enjoyed that period of time. Shame it didn’t last for too long 😛
I guess I just realized I needed some daylight, or maybe the telephone bill changed my mind, lol…
Oh well MMM, I’m almost the same, except I don’t have a “coffin-like bed”. I can never study in the morning, thats why I have my lectures during the morning time. I thought that I’m just wierd, but here we go, another person is just as wierd as I am 😉 lol
However, I don’t stay up to use the interner, but I stay up to study and/or read (although I’m not a fabulous reader like u).
I always precieve the night as the best time period in the entire day, don’t know why, may be cuz u get to sit in such a quiet atmosphere while everybody is enjoying their dream, lol
Anyways, keep it up, although its not healthy, but oh well, WHO CARES 😉 LOL
Peace
Yeah the coffin-like bed is a trademark of mine, lol…
But don’t worry about it, you’re not weird or anything, you’re just special. That’s what I like to tell myself 😛
As for me, those days are over now. I’m married now and have a job that I can’t afford to lose, so I can’t live the night and sleep the day like I used to.
But I sure love the night. Living in the night is unique. It’s like you’re living in a parallel universe or something, lol.
I can’t study at night like you do though. My studying brain cells shuts down at 10PM 😛
Anyway, you take care and try not to do it everyday. As you said, it’s not that good for your health plus the day has some equally nice things about it 🙂
