Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm generally curious. o wo;

I've been known to stay up pretty late quite often (sometimes I don't go to sleep at all until the next night), so I was wondering what is the latest any of you have been up? What was the reason for doing so? Or do you usually just stay up regardless of what you're doing that night or the next day?

For me, I usually stay up to about 3am, every night, then I get up at around 8-9am and repeat the cycle. Many of the people I talk to are awake and on late into the night, so that's the biggest reason why I stay up that late mostly every night. ^^; On nights when my son is with his grandparents, I have stayed up to past 6am, since I don't have to wake up for him in the morning or anything haha.

So how are your sleeping schedules? xd

Oh wow haha. May I ask what MMO it was? I can understand that, whenever I got a new game or something I would stay up for hours and hours into the night just playing it.

If I've been out I usually get sleepy around that time too (though it doesn't mean I'll sleep), but I'm usually at home so I have loads of unused energy (even though I have a son he just doesn't tire me out as much as you'd think haha). Some nights I wish I could manage 1am. xD I haven't been to bed that early in a few weeks.

I'd like to start drawing at night too. ; w; I haven't drawn in such a long time. What kinds of things to do tend to draw at night? Or that doesn't really change depending on the time of day? xD

It's a kinda obscure one called Ether Saga Online. Haven't played it in a while, though. ^_^

I prefer drawing at night 'cause there're less distractions and, I don't know, ideas just tend to flow better after sundown, lol. I just like being the only one still awake in the house when everyone else are all asleep. whee

yeah i was avoiding classes at college so i stayed up late and then hung out there all day with friends in the lounge.then after i dropped college, for a while i practically lived at the mall so i stayed up late then snuck out with boyfriends to play video games and watch anime :3and then i helped a guy who owned the card and collectibles shop out because he practically rented his store out to me so i had a place to chill for free but i helped put signs in the windows and kept the shop tidy and even showed him how to conserve money and space when shipping items to buyers :3 those were good days i guess but what i have now is better :3 oh yeah i stayed up for 3 weeks straight at a time even after that for a while i guess everybody has to rebel at some point.
Not sleeping never affected me much anyways because my grandma fed me all the time (i lived with her during high school and college due to home issues)she was pretty easy to fool when i was sneaking out id just say a friend wanted to hang out i even stayed at my guy friends homes every once in a while saying i was staying with my girlfriends.we would just play games and watch movies and stuff so it was alright i even managed to get portal for free when portal 2 came out XD
eep ive rambled sorry about that biggrin

No it wasn't my grandma at all. I was engaged to someone who abused me and beat me all the time and i repeatedly told him it was over. so he worked at the mall and i didn't want to be around him(this is why the store owner cared. not to mention i bought things from him and attracted customers) but he (my ex) would take me EVERYWHERE he went just so i couldn't sneak into his parents house where he lived . . .in the shitty basement . . . in a shitty tiny room, and take my stuff back or go see my friends.so that's why i snuck out at night.and i didn't quit college to go screw around either i quit because i was forced by my ex and his mother to sign up for college before i was ready and now i just don't ever want to go back to college.I'm waaay burned out over it.
I did also have a job at the time.My daddy had a lawn care business i helped run :3 so i had plenty of money.
I met My husband Scott at the store i hung out at, so good came from all the crap. and i moved away to another state with him so my ex cant bother me and now im 21 and more mature than most of the other girls i meet that are my age. Im stronger and also was taught how to fight back so i wont get hurt again.anyways if you have more questions would you mind pmming me :3

Its no problem :3 i had to talk to people about it eventually anyways and not even my close freinds know the enitire story but now all my girls guild girls know :3 but its alright use it as inspiration :3 and just remember "It is good to learn from your own mistakes,But learning from others mistakes is always better." blaugh

lol thats why that is my motto biggrin

just relaxing im kind of ill since yesterday morning. i was going to make an entry for the tek contest for Chinese new year :3
