Cam hates mornings
Jul. 21st, 2006 06:08 amOh, hello there, six a.m. What foul fate brought us together? Wait, I know - ah, work.
Why can't I just win the lottory and live relatively rich ever after?
Also, LJ, I want a permanent account. Offer one up already so I can snag it? I would be much obliged. (I need more icon space as
fondued_jicama makes me more and more shinies.)
In today's meme: What is a good reason to get up at six a.m in your view? "Shagging David Tennant" will not count since you can always sleep in and do that later. If you're Sophia Myles, anyway.

Date: 2006-07-21 04:15 am (UTC)Obvious reason for being up at 6 a.m. -- heat-induced insomnia. A good reason? None I could think of, says this non-morning person. Really none.
*yawns*
no subject
Date: 2006-07-21 04:19 am (UTC)Ah, but staying up to six a.m is another matter than actually getting up at it. Even if I feel you on the insomnia.
Mornings are evil, except as a time to sleep in.

I love your shinies. Both this one and the one you used today in my LJ are so pretty.

Date: 2006-07-21 04:24 am (UTC)Travel, yeah... But then you tend to sleep at weird hours due to jetlag anyway.
:) I have gathered up a nice collection by now, I feel. Icons are weirdly addictive.

In my boring case, work. I don't need to get up that early just to go to work, but watching an episode or two of Angel before going to work would justify the insanity. (Also shagging Spike would be an added bonus.)
But I'm a morning person and I'd rather get to go home early than sleep in. (Unless it's with Spike.) :P

Date: 2006-07-21 05:09 am (UTC)I've been getting up at five AM every day this summer except for two of them for work. If there is a good enough reason for a person to be awake that early besides making money, I have yet to find it.
And now, I shall go to bed. Night :P

Good Morning Norway!
Date: 2006-07-21 05:11 am (UTC)We just hunker down in our air conditioning and wait until September. The good news was that the ocean water was 85F/29C yesterday and it was like being in a bathtub. There was even a family of dolphins who swam by and scared all the tourists.
Why up at 6:30 am? In my case it's usually because I have a cat digging at my head with his claws because he thinks he should be getting breakfast. I'm not even allowed to go back to bed, he'll get me up again even after I've fed him.
I'm pwned by a cat!
Re: Good Morning Norway!

Date: 2006-07-21 05:33 am (UTC)1:30 AM here in Pennsylvania, and since I have to be up by six-thirty too, I should probably be asleep. But I have to go pick up my brother from work -- that's my reason.
....not really a good reason so much as, 'He'll take my car otherwise and I need it reason', but still.

Date: 2006-07-21 07:51 am (UTC)Good reason to get up at 6am? To start downloading last night's Doctor Who.
Bad reason? To sit in a dentists waiting room only to get a proper appointment in a month.

BTW, yes on both Internet access and LJ posting at work, but depends on how busy I am and all.

Date: 2006-07-21 09:57 am (UTC)As for the meme, darn! - You discounted my reason!
Well, since I can't go with shagging David Tennant, I'll have to go with competions. I'm definately not a morning person by any account, and absolutely nothing will get me up before the lastest possible time except for the promise of spending all day throwing a 12lb ball at things while stuffing my face with sugar-filled goodies, and possibly winning money and shiny things for it.
A reason that happens slightly more often would be that if I come in late one more day this semester I'm going to have a dalek set on me.
Enjoy your morning, hope you make it through the day :)

Don't you love arrivals at airports, the end scene in "Love Actually" always brings a lump to my throat, all those people so happy to see each other!
no subject
Date: 2006-07-21 11:17 am (UTC)I must admit after so many journeys to and fro Australia, I tend to think of airports as preludes to long, tiresome journeys. But it is always good to see people that you haven't in a while, yeah.

2) Starting out on some kind of exciting trip.
3) For communication, if it's the only time you and a distant loved one's time zones & schedules coincide.
...though I'm not sure any of those really do suffice in Melbourne's current morning temperatures. I do *not* like being able to see my own breath while getting dressed, thankyouverymuch!
(Now, a good reason for *waking up* at 6am might be so you can roll over and go straight back to sleep. That's always lovely. *g*)

Date: 2006-07-21 12:40 pm (UTC)I always set my alarm before I have to get up so I can reset it and go back to bed just for a little while. I'm weird like that.

Date: 2006-07-21 01:38 pm (UTC)Oh, wait. That isn't a *good* reason; it's just the reason I will be doing it.
A good reason to get up at six A.M. is that the Nobel Prize committee has just called.
no subject
Date: 2006-07-21 01:41 pm (UTC)Actually, the Nobel Peace Prizecommittee doesn't call. They just announce - quite a few of the winners have been caught by surprised when told by press.
Dunno about the others though, as they are handed out by Sweden and not Norway.
Have a fun trip still ;)
