Morning Rituals

[whoops1995]

What do you do each morning to prepare yourself for the day? I'm not talking about brushing your teeth, getting dressed, eating breakfast, etc. What I do is i wake up take a shower, brush my teeth, then go back to bed for 10 minutes, after the reast of my morning preparations are done I then watch Youtube for half an hour (or sleep some more if I'm really tired) and then leave to the bus.

 

[Johnny Ringo]

I burn myself repeatedly on various parts of my anatomy while listening to Classical Music.

I'm kidding, I have no morning rituals. I get up and shower, then I go from there

 

[TaborMallory]

Due to my incredulous waking habits, I often find myself unintentionally sleeping right through my alarm clock. One time, I decided that I really needed to get up early, so I set up my ipod and stereo to blast pounding death metal literally RIGHT INTO MY EARS. As in, 6 inches from my head. The stereo was on loud enough to wake my sister through the semi-sound-proof wall, and yet it failed to wake me up. In fact, in my dream, I heard the music and actually started to sing along with it!

 

[Shirahime]

My morning rituals are usually done in a sleep-ridden stupor. More often than not resulting in injury.

I don't do mornings.

 

[Mister Ash]

put on clothes (any)
walk to kitchen
make coffee
smoke cig
check e-mail

if i know i'm home alone, I'll skip the first one

 

[Jamash]

The 4 S's

Smoke
Shit
Shave
Shower

Then I usually have a coffee (maybe breakfast if I have time), get dressed, another smoke & finally clean my teeth before leaving the house. I don't see the point in cleaning my teeth as soon as I get up, before I've eaten, it makes my coffee & food taste funny.

 

[Birras]

Stumble out of bed, at which point, I trip onto the couch where I fall asleep until the second alarm wakes me one hour later.

 

[xitel]

Go to the bathroom
Throw on a shirt
Check my email
Sit there for 10 minutes listening to music until I need to leave for class.

 

[Maet]

Put on my finest black clothing, grab my umbrella and trench coat, take the black sedan to the cemetery.

Wait... morning rituals and not mourning rituals? Well in that case, let the alarm wake me up, lie in bed for a half hour thinking about what I have to do and how long it will take me, then get up and finish it all in five minutes before heading out the door. Usually as simple as dress and pack my bag.

See I don't believe in breakfast. Haven't had anything the remotely resembles breakfast since I was 14. I pretty much operate on coffee and cigs.

 

[Space Spoons]

It has become a ritual of mine to utter several obscenities any morning when I'm awoken by my alarm clock. I've had this same clock since my freshman year of high school, you see, and I've come to associate the sound of it's alarm with feeling exhausted and being up far too early.
Ridiculous, I know, but I always feel the need to vent my rage at not going to bed early enough, and muttering obscenities is the only way I can think to do it at 5:25 in the morning.

 

[implodingMan]

- Sleep through alarm and miss first class.
- Wake up and wonder where the hell I am before my memories come flooding back
- Put on clothing
- Review emails while eating handfuls of dry cereal out of the box and listening to Spanish guitar music
- Pop some painkillers and go out into the world.

(this is exactly what I did today. the painkillers are for an ear infection)

 

[Spartan Bannana]

- Wake up and wonder where the hell I am before my memories come flooding back

Because it takes me roughly two hours to shower, eat breakfast, and then get my hair dry, and I leave an hour for getting to class. I have to wake up three hours in advance... which means I wake up at 6:00 AM almost every day, except for Fridays, when I get up at 5:00 AM due to a three-hour-long 8:00 AM lecture. I never actually have any trouble getting up in the morning, unlike most people (I go to bed fairly early, between 10:00 PM and 11:00 PM), and often I'm at least in the process of waking up before my alarm clock goes off. When it does go off, I tend to jump out of bed instantly and mash the button as fast as possible, almost like over the years I've been programmed to know precisely when my alarm clock is going to go off. Then again, maybe it's just because I used to have it tuned to an "easy rock" station and I've become so terrified at the stuff that I can anticipate it before it even plays. Eugh.

 

[huntedannoyed]

As soon as I wake up, often stumbling across the room, I turn on my computer so It will be ready when I get out of the shower. Then I see if I survived the night in Urban Dead or if some jerk revivified me!

6:00 AM - Wake up to the worst sound in the world and go run a mile.

[Hey Joe]

I wake up each morning, get myself a gun. Momma says I will be the chosen one. She says 'you're one in a million...you've got to burn to shine but you were born under a bad sign with a blue moon in your eyes'. I wake up and all the love is gone, my papa never taught me about right and wrong.

Wait a minute...something's not right here...
