Late Nighter's. - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Beregond · 01-23-2009, 10:58 PM

No, I've, erm, adjusted my habits (a bit). I'm an early bird, but a night owl at heart.

So I see the sun now! I don't see it rise, I just...see it.

Darkness-induced-adaptation? Do you mean...mutation? As in big googly eyes, antennas for lights, that sort of thing?

No, haven't noticed too much of that going on... my teeth were getting pointier.

Mutation is such a "dirty" word

Can't see pointy teeth being an advantage :-)...best hope for a bit of Lindale's insomnia..you'll both have all the time in the world to became Werewolf experts

You have no idea...

So for all you late nighter's, besides the obvious physical adaptations, do you find you get a lot of work/play done when you stay up late, or do you waste the late hours ?

Thinlómien · 01-26-2009, 04:37 AM

This is how the family plays ww (in the weekend) when the deadline is 8am their time:

Greenie makes her last post 4.43 am.
Lommy makes her last post 5.21 am.
Nogrod makes his last post 8.08 am.

Wow, it seems that the age / posting time is an exponential function.

I do! More play than work, actually. Sometimes I work best at night, when I slept during the afternoon, but these days I don't have that luxury. My last class ends at 6. I get home at 7. I cook dinner and those kinda stuff until about 9. And then I watch TV. By 12 until around 3 or 4, at worse 6 am, I'm cramming on my papers.

Eönwë · 02-01-2009, 05:27 PM

It's only 11.30pm but I think I'll go to sleep now.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 02-01-2009, 06:21 PM

It's only 1:21 AM but I have to post in WW yet.

Ought to be struck off for that

Mhm Legate, I personally get very little done late night. A lot of browsing and reading of things- a good time to absorb information.

Gotta say, you're regular!

I posted in this thread a ways back; had no idea it was so so long ago that I waxed eloquently to no one in particular. I guess I didn't use paragraphs back then...

I still stay up late, but not as late as I used to, and I wake up early now, so that if I stay up it be at the expense of sleep, not daylight. One does not truly become a day-person, who was once a night-person. *gollum, gollum*

So in order to maintain this nice tradition that I have somehow developed (three years ago I posted on the 6th of January in this thread) I wanted to make another post and salute all late nighters here on the Downs!

It's during the quietness of the night that our souls haunt these barrows with greatest pleasure.

I have shamefully neglected this great thread for some time now, so I had to post today in honour of my late nighter tradition after the winter holidays.
It is pretty difficult to switch back to the normal schedule of a working student but with courses at 8am four times this week it should happen pretty quickly. 4am here in Germany, so finally off to bed now!

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 08-04-2012, 06:12 AM

It is currently a little after four o'clock in the morning in good old Anchorage, Alaska and I am Downsing (that has got to be a word). To be fair, I was asleep, but I was having terrible dreams and after looking at pictures of my cats and posting here I am feeling much better. I'm not quite sure if it counts as a late-nighter if I haven't been up all night here, but I am awake and here now.

I think it does. After all, it's so much geekier to wake up in the middle of the night to post on the Downs.

Hmm, yes. Perhaps it is.

Mänwe · 11-08-2012, 12:39 PM

I hope that wasn't a case of setting an alarm specifically for the purpose of posting!

~~

Late night had by many following the US election- 7am speeches were finished!

But i've been hankering after late night skulking in a WW thread. I can't see any discussion threads which leads me to assume there aren't any currently being planned
