We need a good deli here. All we have is subway,and I suppose they're adequate when you need to carbo load, but I want a REAL sandwich.

This is one of my friend (in Pasadena)'s biggest gripes. She and I both have major Submarina addiction, and you guys don't have them back there. Subway is So Very Not The Same.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

My lunch is in my tummy.

I'm not a morning person for about 6 minutes. Provided I have been woken up nicely. If I have been woken up not nicely (dog barking, child bouncing on my head, fire) I tend to be cranky for a good long while.

Sometimes though, I wake up cranky. And this gets confused with not being a morning person. It's very different.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

I'd even BART over

BART as a verb.

Sounds like new slang for puking.

"Dude, you totally barted in Steve's car last night."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"Last night I got so Bart-faced...."

Thrive to spite them

I am not a morning person and I've never been one. I've been an insomniac night owl since child hood, stuff like that I don't think gets changed. I should really find a job that's better suited to when I'm "awake".

I've dealt with a couple people who saw my non morning person-ness as a character flaw or a sign of immaturity and something I'd "grow out of" especially when I had children. I politely explained that even when I'm forced to get up early I'm still not a morning person.

I don't understand why a lot of morning people seem to think it's the better way and try and change or aruge with nightowls. It's seen as such a huge character defect, Yay! you (general not Buffista specific) like to get up, watch the sunrise answer email/exercise/read/do chores/whatever and then go to bed at 9 pm at night. More power to you, I prefer to do all those things to the beautiful moonlight and get up at 9 am. Or noon. Really preferably noon.

Yeah, I find the moral judgment that seeps into the morning/evening person thing (not here!) so puzzling.

I think a lot of people see it as a rebellion or a rejection of authority.

Or that you're lazy or slothful....

For sure. But why is staying up late inherently more slothful than getting up early? It can't all be about conformity, can it? And frankly, the world being what it is, a lot of us night-owls are getting considerably less sleep than the morning people. If you go to bed at nine and get up at six, that's nine full hours. Who's the slacker now, huh?

Damn that Ben Franklin anyway.
