These are some of my favorite things to do late at night (as opposed to any other time):
- Write
- Read a novel
- Drink coffee
- Meet with a small group of friends and discuss politics, current events, etc.
- Read email
- Read blogs
- Think and reflect about my day
- Wish I was going to get more sleep
- Fix my latest computer issue and wish I had a Mac (until I read Troy’s blog, in which case the Mac-desire has waned very slightly)
- Look at my bookshelves and decide what to read next
- Order new books so that I can further delay reading books I already have
- Respond to email
- Sit and stare at the wall, table, lamp, or whatever else happens to be in front of my eyes when I am caught in my thoughtful trance
- Brush my teeth, take out my contacts, and get ready for bed
- Figure out what I’ll be doing the next day, after remembering what day it is
Those are just a few examples. I haven’t gotten to the slightly more bizarre ones… don’t want to scare anyone off just yet who is finally realizing that yes, I’m blogging again!
