Accounts of a Night Owl

I wanted to post this earlier, but I forgot.

Today was a good day, world. Everything seemed to work perfectly and I had 0 cares in the world about anything. My usual unstressed self was more unstressed than ever, and on top of that, the weather was fantastic for once. Days like these are serene, and every human should live this way.

I get goose bumps remembering days like these.

So funny thing. Ever since I made my tumblr under the heavy influence of Katie Armstrong, I have literally become a night owl. In the past 7 days, I think I have only gotten about 20 hours of sleep, and two of the nights I just didn’t sleep at all. I don’t feel tired or exhausted, I’m still loving life, going for bike rides or running early in the morning, etc. I survive through school and after school i have been working on  my sound system in my car. So far I’ve been awake for 32 hours, and still kicking. Might not sleep tonight and then go our for a ride with my uncle at 530 am tomorrow. I just dont like the idea of falling asleep anymore….so I don’t.

Last night I spent 6 hours researching a road trip from Perth to Melbourne, over a 2,000 km drive. I’m thinking over 5 days and camping in the bush of Australia with just a tent, beer, and some good tunes.

Life if too easy here. I love it.

PS come visit Katie Armstrong!

So I moved to Perth, Australia about 10 weeks ago from Houston, Texas to attend University here. Now Houston is in the Northern Hemisphere, while Perth is in the Southern, and apparently constellations appear upside down whenever you change hemispheres. In Houston when I  happened to be outside at night and the starts were out, I would often look at them, trying to make sense of things and I would sometimes chill and talk aloud. In winter I could see the constellation Orion and in the Northern Hemisphere the stars in the constellation make up the figure of a warrior, and the three stars in the middle make up the belt. HOWEVER, while sitting in my physics lecture this past week, I found out that constellations are upside down. So the Southern Hemisphere doesn’t see Orion the same way that I have all these past years, and the only way they can find the constellation is by finding the three stars that make up the belt. They say that these three stars along with one of the legs depict a saucepan, and that the Americans were silly for thinking it looked like warrior. No shit that’s what the lecturer said. Almost laughed when he said that. That’s the most interesting thing I learned in physics all week.
