Day Seventy-Eight - If You Want To Hoot With The Owls @ Night...

Apparently, for most people my thing o' the day is not such an odd occurence. For me, I don't think this has happened since...forever maybe? Probably when I was very young, anyway. So, out with it - tomorrow Joseph has to wake up @ 4am so tonight I went to bed before midnight! Exclamation point! This really never, ever happens. Even if I have good intentions of "going to bed early" it's quite evident that "early" does not equal before midnight [much to Joseph's dismay as he needs like 20 hours of sleep per day].

This is quite the test for me [and yeah, I didn't end up in bed much before midnight, but the little light was still on the PM on the alarm clock, so there]. I went to bed without seeing Jon or Stephen or Dave or Jimmy or Conan...it was pretty rough. Why do I stay up so late? I dunno - blame my parents, I guess. They never gave me a bedtime as a young 'un and I was frequently last to bed, first to rise in my household. I don't really like sleeping - it's a waste of my time. And staying up late just seems infinitely more rewarding than waking up early. Although, it did shock me and continues to shock me that everyone else I know goes to bed before midnight. Maybe I need to grow up.
