@patch Long time without seeing you. How're you doing?

@nerthos Doing good. Been prioritizing various projects and meatspace social stuff over RDN, but ain't forgotten this place! How's you?
-
@patch Good, just procrastinating at 5:56am, with a cat on my lap and nothing to do. Been here all night.
-
@patch Is this real life? http://ur1.ca/8shoq
-
@nerthos Ah, nice to have some good company on nights like that, isn't it?
-
-
@patch Yup. The nighttime is really enjoyable here. It's why I have over 13k dashes already.
-
@nerthos It's like sitting in a nice, relaxed cafe, where people come by to relax. Sometimes you know them, sometimes you don't, but they're all worth talking to.
-
@patch Yup. And next to zero drama. It feels good to be nocturnal. All the annoying kids are sleeping.
-
-
@nerthos I'm sitting here with some coffee myself, relaxing, talking with a friend about ballistic turbans--I love nights like this.
-
@patch It's day for me now, I realized. It kills some of the fun. But still, yeah, these nights are awesome.
-
@nerthos Man, there's a line in Moby Dick..."for a sleeping man, it was difficult to choose between such still, perfect days and such quiet, star-filled nights". That's a horrible misquote, but I knew what he meant when I read it--there is something very peaceful and satisfying, sometimes about being awake at night and sleeping during the day.
-
@patch There is something about the night, yes. We're, as humans, meant to be asleep at night. We're made for that. And that is because the night is intrinsecally peaceful, it is it's very nature. Without light, nothing disturbs our eyes, and with the rest of the world sleeping, we hear no sound. Only a few are awake, and on their own sneakily working their ways. There's also the hormones and stuff, but that has nothing of poetry xD
-
@nerthos I think that's why that, and the hours just before dawn, are my favorite times. Its like a secret world, folded into the corners of this one. You might like Liam Lynch's "We're All Nighters". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5OgDrkWwQs

@patch It's nice. A bit too "artistic" for my tastes, but good still.
-
@nerthos Yeah, the video is a bit much for my own taste, but considering it was made by a dude on his home computer several years ago, I dig it. The song, however, I really like, especially on those late, solitary night watches.
-
@patch I was mostly ignoring the video xD still I'm more of the symphonical metal kind of guy.
-
@nerthos Now that can be some sweet stuff. I still remember the cute little goth girl who introduced my noob self to Apocalyptica.
-
@patch I envy you. I was introduced by a bearded guy. And my own curiosity of course xD
-
@nerthos Nothing wrong with bearded guys!
-
@patch Yeah, they're just not that attractive. Well, it's time for me to go to bed!
