I’ve always been a night owl.
In elementary school I would hide under my Whinnie-the-Pooh blanket with a forbidden Stephen King book and a flash light, reading about the sexy world of vampires, monsters and serial killers from Maine.
In middle school I spent my nights with headphones, a portable radio, and Love Line with Dr. Drew; I was obsessed with words that were forbidden in my household.
In high school I was a nocturnal drunk, sneaking out of the house to drink Natural Light beer in pickup trucks with my equally stupid friends.
In college I spent my nights on my boyfriend’s couch, listening to him write songs on his guitar until we passed out and missed class entirely.
Now, I stay up until the wee hours of the morning writing markup and styles. While the spirit of rabble-rousing rebellion may no longer be present, I still feel most alive late at night.

This is one hell of an entry. Thanks for the beautiful read.
(That photo, however, might give me nightmares. Hel-lo, upcoming sleepless nights.)

Love your designs, but that is one creepy photo!

Love the new site, I have been a fan of Dan for years, and love your stuff as well. But I have to agree with the other posters, the picture is a little Donnie Darko.

Love the site, love your writings! You’re one heck of a girl!

I’d love to know you’re normal daily/nightly work routine. I currently work 8am till midnight, but weekends are strictly off-limits!

Found your site through a CSS Gallery roundup feed – I love how this looks, and of course you had me at “owl.” Major bonding factor between my grandmom and me; her family crest featured an owl, and I could never think of another creature quite so adorable-while-lethally-efficient. Plus, we keep the same schedule in an ideal world. Anyway, thanks.
