i bobbed into the kitchen at seven to get some breakfast and my floormates say, astonished, are you usually up this early? *wounded* but how could they know that i'm up by 6.30 most days and the reason no one sees me before 10 is that i sit around in my nightie for another four hours checking my email?

though didn't your mothers always say "zao shui zao qi shen ti hao?"

p.s. actually, to get me out of bed, mine sang:

xiao zhu xiao zhu fei du du
chi bao jiu shui hu lu lu
jiao ta qi chuang ta mi qi yan
zhang zui jiu shuo bu! bu! bu!

which goes to show.
