Up All Night

'ello loves!

so, the very fun act of staying Up All Night.

I've done it, have you? (I think that at some point, everyone has to)

I don't know about you, but when I do, I brew a special kind of tea called Death In A Metal Waterbottle.

(self-invented, of course)

and I keep it with me All Night Long, just in case.

it is made of:

black tea
jasmine tea
green tea
earl grey tea
english breakfast tea

and hot water. (steep overnight, while being enjoyed.)

and then the fun begins!

I personally believe that I write the best around, say, 1:30 or so, and so I grab my notebook and pen with shaking hands and sit and wait and read and wait.

I also believe that in that hour, poetry is best enjoyed. so I do that, too. I find it difficult to simply sit and read Our Dear Edgar (Allen Poe) in the daytime hours, so... I read it then. ee!

and I sit, and wait, and read, and write, until I get antsy and I want to Jump Out of the Window, and roam around outside and leap about with faeries.

which of course I can't do, but I can imagine it, can't I?

and this is all very well, and I can feel the buzzing in my blood vessels, and I get all giddy like you should, until I don't feel so giddy anymore, around, say, 3:30 or so, and then I find it helpful to lay quietly in my bed for a half-an-hour or so.

(remember, dears, it's not cheating unless you fall asleep!)

and then I'm back again, raring to go on with a 4 o'clock-in-the-morning tea party, for which I get dressed up in my very-best witchy-dress with puffy sleeves and lacey-goodness and my stripey-stockings full of holes and louse-ladders (the more the better, as I'm sure you understand) and have MORE tea, perhaps even fresh tea, if I'm quiet...!

and then around, say, 5:00 or so, I'm chill and cool on the window seat, and 6:00 is too boring for words, and 7:00 I'm Up! and it's time to change back into my non-witchy goodness and get ready as quiet as a mousey.

and then, around, say, 10:00 or so, I'm back to bed! til about 1-ish with a headache and an upset tummy.

the end!
