If someone followed you around for 24 hours, what would confuse them most?

That I love to go to bed in the 8pm hour, and often am awake by 4am. On purpose. This is highly uncool in a city where shows don't start until 7pm, and 7:45 dinner reservations are considered "early." But my brain does its best work in the early morning. Case in point, I'm writing this post from bed at 3:45am, and many college papers and Lauren Layne books have been written much the same way. And honestly, I just like being up early more than I do being up late. One of my favorite fantasies is flipping the script. Being bold enough so that when someone suggests dinner at 8pm on Friday, I say, "I can't, but how about bagels at 6am on Saturday?" And when they laugh incredulously and say they'll be in bed, I reply, "Wait, so you don't want to change your sleep routine to grab a meal on someone else's schedule?!"
