I'm definitely the most nocturnal person i know.
I cleared the whole day to do my assignment. Chris and I even made a wake-up agreement - at 8am this morning, whoever woke up first would call the other to wake them up, so we'd both get our work done. I called first. We talked for an hour, but well, at least we were both ready to go at 9am. Yeah. Right. I went back to sleep, woke up a couple of hours later. Shit. But that was ok, i still had all day. So what did i do? Fucked around for 4 hours, unable to concentrate. Had 2 naps, a shower and just pissed about, unable to get my thoughts into gear. It's now 4:38 and i've written 300 words. But when 9pm hits, i'll get this wave of creativity and writing flair and manage to write the other 3000 in a matter of 2-3 hours. 2am is just my time.... the time when i get the good thoughts and stuff just spills out of my mind, through my fingers and into my work.
I guess that's a lifetime of being a performer for you. Having shows that have a call at 6pm, start at 8pm, over by 11pm, out of the theatre at 11:45, home by 12:15am, take your clothes and make-up off, have a shower and a nibble of something (because you haven't eaten since 5:30pm) sit down at 1am to begin the work you need to get done, before your other life begins tomorrow morning. This was the way all through school for me. From primary, right through Year 12, i was usually in two or more productions at a time... rehearsing, performing and slowly forcing my system to function on 4-5 hours sleep a night if i was lucky. So i guess the hours that i wasn't at school, or performing, or sleeping were usually between the hours of midnight and 3am... so i was forced to be incredibly productive in those short few hours.
This pattern has continued into uni, which is fine. Until i get a whole day off to do something... and i just can't!!! It's like my brain is saying 'No no no!! You're meant to be out... doing something!!! Get AWAY from the computer!!" And you know what... i just can't force it. Raahhh! I work my best at night... but that's no good to me when i have a whole day free. Argh.
Chris has probably finished all his work by now. Bitch. Lol;):P
