There's something just wrong about seeing that someone finished a book before I even started one - and I can't even blame the time zone issue (much anyway) since you're only 2 hours ahead of me :D

Yeah, I've got that one hanging around waiting and knew it was a short one, it just cracked me up to see someone with a book completed when I hadn't started yet - and not because I had something else to finish first. I'd planned on starting my first October book after midnight last night (yes, I'm a night owl) but crashed early and didn't do it.

I want to be a night owl, just because my fiancee is a night owl and he likes/wants me to stay up with him, but I'm such a morning person, ask me to wake up at 3 or 4 in the morning, no problem, asking me to stay up after 11 PM, all you will see is my head falling down constantly. He has to give me coffee to stay up. LOL.
