need vs. want

I need a hug.

5AM

One of my favorite things in the world is being awake at this hour. 5 am. The reason for this is because it's always been a rare occasion for a person like me. I'm not a night owl; I have the ability to fall asleep anywhere, in any place and at any given time. So to be a wide awake, fully conscious sentient being at this crisp, cool, still time of day is a real feat indeed. At least in my book it is. It's funny, though. Unlike me, this city never slumbers. I look out over my desk and through my window, and it's a real bustle of activity. Where are all these cars going? Where else does one need to be at five in the morning, besides snuggled underneath the covers in the warmest of beds?

haha!

I'm on somebody's website! SO wonderful meeting you, Molly. You're as amazing in person as you are on your blog...but that really is no surprise. Also, go figure that I would run into a style blogger at my absolute least fashionable. I was on my way to work, having spent approximately 15 minutes showering, jamming on jeans and a t-shirt, haphazardly smearing on some eyeliner and bolting out the door for the subway, when I ran into her. Guess that's the way life is.
