morning bigots

all of my life I have been a night person. There have been days where I have never been awake when the sun was up. I like working at night-- it's quiet, there's nothing to distract you, nothing on TV to draw you away from working, and I get my primary creative energy bursts after 9 pm.

Now being a night person, I am aware that there are people who are not. After 10 or 11 pm, even though I am often full of energy, I know there are day people who have gone to bed and I make a sincere effort to not disturb them. I walk tippy toe and I don't slam doors. It takes a tenth of an ounce of effort to do this.

So yes, I do sleep later than most, but it's not because I am lazy, it's because I was UP LATE WORKING. So why I can't I get the same courtesy from the day people? Why is their circadian rhythm deserving of courtesy and mine are not? Every morning they wake me up.
They are up, so in their limited rem-fascista world view, everyone else must be up too. They bang doors and rattle dishes.

It must be nice to be so oblivious to other people. maybe that's why they sleep so well.
