But seriously, why is this not a thing?


As I'm sure you can imagine, Faeries like to have fun. We like loud music, dancing, dressing up, giggling, and general merriment.

And sometimes, we go rococo!(Thank you amazing photographer friend Kenny!)
The hard part is that we also really, really, reeeealllly like sleep! *laugh* So staying up late, while fun, can be difficult when you have bunnies or dragons or tiny humans who like to wake up before 7 am and demand your assistance *wink*.

Faerie Wendy and I with our "fur-children" - err..."shell-child" for her...she has a thing for mollusks!

We were pondering this one evening while decorating ourselves for the evening's festivities (sidenote: getting ready for a fun evening can sometimes be the highlight of said evening!), and we realized another ludicrous thing about staying up late at night...it is dark! And often chilly! And when you spend all that time curating the perfect outfit and meticulously applying all three pairs of lashes (just me?), it feels silly to put on a coat and frolic in the darkness. Wouldn't it be much better to go out dancing when it's warm? And light outside?

And that, friends, was the "aha!" moment. You know when it's warm and light? Daytime. You know when it's dark and good for sleeping? Nighttime! Why are we switching these two?? There's only one solution.

Rage all day, sleep all night.

Yep. Let that sink in.

It just...makes sense. And part of being an adult-kind-of-type person is getting to live by your own rules, right? So...I will absolutely go out at 11 and not get home til 4, or even 5!

It will just be that I'll be leaving around 11 am after having a nice productive morning, and then I'll be home in the late afternoon...just in time to eat some yummy dinner, take a bath, and crawl into bed around 8 pm!

Rage all day, sleep all night.

It just makes sense.
