Leiphe Lessons
1. What's your favorite hour of the day?
Sadly, it's starting to be the wee hours of the morning - I am torn between the stillness of 4 AM, but 6 is also nice. It's that blue edge right before the sun lights everything and brings color to the landscape. At 4 AM, though - it's a real desert of slate and and melancholia. It's quite lonely, but I write my best music then.
2. What's your least favorite hour of the day?
Noon. It's so busy and brash. I feel like the world is shouting me down, and somehow I have to hold onto my head with all my senses to keep from losing my focus. There's too much ... energy? Oh, come on, it's not like I'm going to faint dead away because I am a delicate flower or something, but I know that as far as creativity goes, noon is my dead hour. To much noise, not enough signal, as it were. (I think I get geek points for that, but I might be outdated yet)
3. Does your job affect your favorite hour? Do you find being away from home can also affect this?
My job doesn't really affect my favorite hour(s), in that if I manage to get enough restful sleep before any schooling or volunteer work, everything is fine. My favorite hour is still a sanctuary untouched by my regular day.
4. Tell us a bit about your day - what shapes your timetable at the moment?
Ooo, this may be cheating, but eventually I want to do a whole long post about this. I like routines, in a way, analyzing them. Finding patterns, and then breaking them. I find that I can breathe easier when I can trick the world into thinking I am doing one thing, when I suddenly go random. More later, if I can remember.
5. Let's say you've got $500 to spend on a given weekend. How would you spend it?
Save it, baby!
