I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I am distinctly not a morning person. I can usually function well enough to get myself showered, dressed, and to work, but I can't eat for at least an hour after I wake up, and I do much better if I don't talk to people.

bon bon, is your work place dress code business casual, and if so, what does that mean where you work?

What's up? No, I mean, what does non-morning mean?

I do my best work at night. Left to my own devices, I will stay up until dawn, crawl into bed not long before the sun comes up, and stay there until sometime after noon.

Therefore I have a conflict when I'm expected to wake an hour or three after I want to go to sleep. Many mornings, I find myself clutching the alarm clock, eyes swollen, hair askew, and frantically saying, "I CAN'T READ!!!" Because I can see red numbers looking back at me like evil little demons from a hell dimension, but I can't actually comprehend what they mean.

A hot shower and coffee grant me a small amount of brain function and motor control. It doesn't actually keep from wanting to destroy the universe. It's a good thing destroying the universe takes effort, because otherwise, I would have done it years ago.

This is why, five or six days out of seven, I wake up wrathful and stay that way.

What I don't understand about all you night owls is how you manage to make coffee when you're barely functional.

Pete is FAR more of a morning person that I am. Which is why he makes the coffee.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You don't mind if I cast Jaye Tyler for this, do you?

You want fun? Try not being a morning person and having to avoid consuming a lot of caffeine (defined as my old habit of two diet sodas per day) for medical reasons. If I hadn't cut the simple carbs mostly out of my diet, I'd be a divorcee at the very least by now for dragging my butt and being snappish.

Oh, not at all. If you've seen Jaye wake up, you've seen me wake up.

And now I'm a little creeped out by the thought of people on the Internets watching me sleep.

Great. Now I want edamame.
