Posted By slip on 6th Jan 08 at 7:34pm I love doing that as well - I usually start off at 11pm when everyone else is off to bed and go on till 3am I'll do that sometimes during school; if I have a large assignment due he next day, I'll go to sleep at 4pm, wake up at 1am [only time I ever get more than 6 hours sleep. ], then work on the project all morning & head to school.

Posted By Marc on 6th Jan 08 at 7:30pm I usually work best from about 1am - 5am. That way, I can just sit in my room in peace, with no one bothering me, no cars on the street, no neighbour's kids running up and down the stairs non stop for an hour [>.<], just my music, some energy drinks, and 3 bags of chips.

Neither one of my parents are artists so they really don't understand me. They think its weird I can spend an afternoon staring at Photoshop when they can't do it for more than 30 minutes. I'm constantly called lazy by all my family because I spend my time designing. I don't see how I'm that lazy if I'm the person who most of the time gets most work done. The whole late night thing is the same with me. I've grown to enjoy being up late a heck of a lot more. My mom always tells me that there is things that there isn't anything I can't do at night I can do in the morning but its entirely wrong. I could get a website designed by staying up from 11PM - 5PM, but in the morning I'd be to tired, I wouldn't feel right because I just woke up, I wouldn't be able to concentrate and it goes on and on. One of the things I'm going to love when I move to a dorm for college is the freedom. I'll be able to stay up till whatever time I want, the decision will be mine and the only person who would yell at me would be a possible room mate.

Agreed, xD. I had people like that. That is what is wrong with our schooling systems, they try to teach us in masse when some of us don't feel challanged at all. They gave me an IQ test I was smarter then my chemistry teacher before. They handed me a book, and asked me to ace a test, I did. But no challange means nothing. I only excelled in my senior year of English and the librarianism because I felt challanged in them.

tricky I totally get where you're coming from -- nobody understands web design at my home either and I'm warned everyday that if I am not asleep by 12am then the computer will get dismantled. But I think they;re actually scared to do that because I would go berserk

My family doesn't know that I design yet, but they always ask me what I do and sometimes speculate, they're totally of most off the time. I guess I do have potential it's just that when I start on something and when it doesn't work out so well I just dump it and just try something easier. My PS folder is filled with unfinished psds. <.<

If I start something and I know I can finish it, it gets finished. If I don't think I'll finish it it gets scraped, no psd saved. =/ I have like 100+ psds but they are all complete.

I'm just around vF cuz i love bugging Ross with bugs Agreed. My friends know that I'm good with computers, but only one of my real-life friends know what I actually do. The rest don't think much of it, until they need me to get around the school's computer blocks. >.< I always login to my file manager, and look at all my unfinished codes, deciding whether or not to finish them. It's just, I'll do a project if it's challenging, but if it loses it's challenge part way through; the rest is just boring, and once again, I'm not motivated to complete it. Forms are what I hate most; especially when doing a mass upgrade. Have to create 20 forms, then 20 pages for those forms, then put all the required security checks on the next page, do some tests, find security flaws, fix them up, try again.
