Realizations....

The past two weeks I've been having realizations about myself:

1)        I am not a morning person (this is not news) or a night person..... Unless I am reading a fiction book. I can stay up till 3am reading if the book is that good. Right now I'm reading Insurgent (the 2nd book in the Divergent series). Which leads me to a second realization....

2)       I am getting fed up with characters in fiction stories who refuse to tell the truth, or withhold information that is vital. I'm not talking state secrets here, but if they would be a little more forthcoming with their significant others or good friends about what they are going to do, they may avoid these terrible situations they get themselves into in the first place. For instance, in Insurgent, Tris refuses to tell her boyfriend that she is going to sacrifice herself for a higher cause, because she thinks that is her only option. OKAY, he makes her promise not to, she lies, and does it anyway. She doesn't believe that he will come after her. He does, he almost dies, she practically dies,  and then has to be carried out midst gunfire on a crazy rescue mission. So boyfriend almost dies trying to save her from dying. Check. Then they talk it out mostly. And you would think she had learned her lesson to just blab when she's thinking about a crazy stunt. Nope not 2 days later she's back at it, lying to him again "because he left her no choice" UH yeah there's a choice, talk. Oh so irritating.

3)      Lastly, that the idea of "work first play later" doesn't work for me. I work much better after I have completed "playing". Say for example, I am reading a book. It's better for me to just read as much as I want, than for me to stop after a chapter or two  and go back to working. Once I finish the book I can then focus on work. I know it's weird, but having something to look forward to after I get done working doesn't work for me. That would be all I would think about, and I wouldn't do very good work. So I've discovered it's better for me to have fun first, get in a good mood, and then devote myself to work. Not sure how that works in life, haha but it's just something I realized.
