Ok. So this isn't just specifically for early risers and coffee drinkers, but you get the idea.
Are you an early riser like me who tends to check the forums before the sun even rises? And yet you find you have no one to talk to <sadface> Well - I have a solution! Let us congregate here, and chat away the early hours over a hot cup of coffee, tea, or what ever it is you wake yourself up with. (please.. nothing dirty)
---
As for me - Today my fuzzy children woke me up, chirping to be fed. Yes, my kittens chirp and it's by far the cutest thing :3 I poured myself a cup of coffee and now both of my kids are laying here, purring in my lap. I know.. it's not super early today, as I forced myself to get some extra sleep. For today, I get new ink.
How is everyone's morning going? Share your story to me :3
I'm not an early riser, but I am a coffee drinker.
On top of that I do tend to spend a considerable amount of time monitoring the forum for new posts in threads I'm following. Because of my "abnormal" schedule I tend to peruse the forums either when no one else is awake, or when no one else is at their computers. This tends to leave me browsing a forum with no responses to any of my posts. :(
Oh well, this is the price I pay for a good job doing something I enjoy I guess.
i don't do morning very well, i'm always grumpy when i have to wake up early. i'm like "uhh....*grumble* stupid mornings.grr....*gets a cup of coffee*"
BUT coffee on the other hand, is one of biggest addiction, epically with french Vanilla creme MURR *drools*
Mrr. I use Vanilla Caramel creamer.. -drools all over her keyboard- ...
Hi Everyone...
I'm Draaz... And I'm addicted to coffee.
... I drink it at all hours of the day. xD .. Prolly not good for my health.
Tell me more of this Earth thing called "morning."
(says the guy who has to be up at 7 every work day for work at 8... feh)
I love coffee, but caffeine does weird things to me these days so I drink decaf, unless I'm traveling for work and in a different time zone, in which case I drink the real stuff so I can function properly. Otherwise, my preference is for tea, occasionally, and those green tea lattes that Starbucks does.
lol first thing for me is a nice hot Starbucks Sumatra Blend coffee and a Cheese Scone or breakfast bagel.
sometimes i sleep in, and sometimes i dont cuz im up til about 4am working on this forum lol go figure.
Ah, i used to be an early riser, now im a night owl (well... Dragon XD) considering as i look at my clock its 11:44... and this is normal for me, even though i go to school, and i work tomorrow T_T
don't do coffee, don't sleep in but not an early raiser. I just go to bed early (say 9?) and sleep if I'm tired. Can't stand the smell of coffee/redbull/energy drinks of all sorts. but I do do tea, a great source of your daily requirements of caffeine ! ;D
I"m trying to ween myself off energy drinks, thankfully I've had the worst tasting energy drink on the face of the planet, so that's a plus...
Recently of course I've discovered that a Grande Dark Chocolate Mocha will last me about 8hrs XD
I have to get up at the crack of 8 o'clock every weekday. :'(
I used to drink more coffee than I do now (though never more than a couple cups a day, really), but after a couple of unpleasant pulse-racing experiences, I've cut back quite a lot on my caffeine consumption.
I like getting up really early sometimes like 4 or 5 am so peaceful and fine but the geting up at 7 am is hard luckily I only have to get up around 8 lately. As for caffeine I do enjoy coffee but am really picky about it and lately have become increasingly hooked on tea black, red green and herbal. nothing like a tea bag at work that i can refill from the hot water spout of the water cooler several times ftw.
Did you know it takes caffeine to hit the system about an hour, so when you have coffee and one minute later you say wow good coffee it really woke me up it's the hot liquid and sugar (if you have sweetened coffee) that is doing that then the caffeine hits you later.
My mom always said I should drink more coffee since i need to stunt my growth >_>
I do love drinking coffee on those days where I'm having trouble waking up for school, especially if it has a hint of vanilla in it. This year isn't so bad for me; last year I had to wake up at 5am/6am, this year I only need to wake up at 6am/8am. I guess it's my own fault for choosing to go to school in another city >_>
Honestly though, this is the opposite of me. I'd rather stay up till really early then sleep, rather than waking up really early. Sadly school doesn't agree with my type of wanted sleep pattern.
I work at Starbucks... opening shifts start at 4:15am...
I can barely function without my caffeine. At least not happily...
I never start work later than 11am usually...
Usually up at 3:30 or 5:00am (at least consistantly)
HUZZAH
I'm an early morning person myself, coffee company would rock.
I rise and shine early before the sun is up on the weekends because of work. I will get up whenever the occasion calls for an early morning no matter how little sleep I get because coffee solves everything! Yesterday I had in all total 5 shots of expresso in my TALL cup of mocha from Starbucks. A twelve oz cup and four of that is just strait up shots... I love my coffee... I love adding hazelnut to it too! Mornings are fine for me, I even get up to see friends, and I love coffee. Woot!
I'm enjoying a mug from the top of stove brewed the black bean squeezings that I love as do you, fragrance divine bring sharp the new day, with a Run and a jump and a need to find company for a stay ^.^
o.o..*twitch* it rhymes .... *pounces* Yay rhyming coffee!!! *steals coffee*
Mmmmm that's no Jive Java Mama jamma
heheh miiiiiiiiiine
*Whimperpouts! gets s'more elixir of the Columbian gods*
*raises paw* I'm an early riser, though strictly for work. *grumbles* it's unnatural to wake up at 6am! :C
Coffee is my best friend in these hard times. XD
hehe unnatural to the night owls. But natural to others
I woke up 30 minutes ago and I need coffee bad. XD
need coffee...little sleep...so much...bleh
Just got up, my legs hurt :/ *Pouts an rubs the poor things*
One day, we should all get together at a Denny's for coffee - no matter the hour of day :3
Sounds like f un, where, when? I'm game ^.^
I have been known to spend all night hours at places like Denny's with friends gabbing and being odd.
Sounds like the start of Coffee meet :)
We shall figure it out once I return to the coast :3
Coffee meet would be sooooooo fun!!!!
Agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed
We need to work on a date for this coffee and a central type location, Mmmm Coffee. Someone said Denny's, where is that? I'm in Burnaby, what works for others?
IHOP!!! It is THE BEST!
Also, I live in surrey but driving isn't a problem for me
Not a driver myself, but I live by the Skytrain. Ok, so we have one in Surrey, at least two in Burnaby, who else?
I'm a biker chick ^^
i agree IHOP ftw
Score! ^^ IHOP is delicious and their coffee is awesome!
lulz, Tim Hortons? :P
Morning ^.^ does anyone else have a craving for champagne and curry?
I like champagne but can't have spicy anymore
I recall now, crones, the lovely burn of your body busy attempting to digest it's self *Shudderz* proper diet with out lovely things like cheese but oddly enough juice is A+. Trapa's brother I believe it is has that too.
IHOP has good other stuff too.
IHOP on Kingsway ftw and they make blintzes blintzes blintzes!

Yeah, Kingsway/Royal Oak-ish IHOP is good.
Sweet, So, when shall we do this early morning coffee meet? I'm still waiting for my next weeks schedule, but I think sometime next week would be awesome.
Is everyone ok with doing a coffee meet between the 3rd and 9th of May? I should be back in the city by then - Just let me know what your schedules are, and we can try and arrange this thing properly. :3
I wont have my schedule till the week before paw, but they generally work me evening shifts anyways, so I would be more than happy to wait for then ^.^
I won't be getting my schedule until the sunday... and it's one week schedules so...it makes it difficult to let others know when I have days off. Usually I do have tuesdays off but they change a lot.
Got my schedule, I work all evenings next week, have this weekend off, Tuesday but work all the other days. ^.^, keep us updated.
Any morning coffee types feel like connecting for a coffee tomorrow morning (Wednesday)? I've got a day off for a sanity break... I've got to be in Richmond for a little after 11, but if anyone wants to get together at Metrotown or someplace around 9:30ish, I'd be into meeting some folks. =)
Sounds like fun, count me in, where abouts do you want to do coffee
I was thinking the Starbucks around by Red Robin in Station Square - they've got some outdoor seating there, and it's supposed to be a nice morning. =)
O.o...Station Square? What's that?
I can do that, who else is going, Star! come with!
Station Square's that bit of Metrotown where the Future Shop and Save-On-Foods are, on the very west end. If you take a left instead of a right when you get off the Skytrain and walk around towards Kingsway, past the Save-On, there's the Red Robin, Boston Pizza, Starbucks, and a few other businesses around there.
I'm open to other ideas, of course!

I think someone needs to get a leash and drag me along...would make me feel better lol
Hehehe, it's not quite that bad to find it. *g*
Anyhow, for coordination in the morning, I'll make sure I've got my phone, 778 227 0499, text or call and if anyone's lost, I can talk them in. =)
I workies ><
Awww. =/
Yay for waking up at 2:30 and not being able to go back to sleep...
I seem to be constantly waking up at 6:30am, wondering what the hell time it is, and seeing the same time every time, even though I don't have to be up until like 9:30. I work 12pm to 8:30pm these days, and it sucks, because it eats up my whole day.
As for coffee, I lived with a deaf person who had a number of personality disorders, OCD being one of them, and she would OCD over coffee. She harassed me to start drinking specialty coffees with her, and we'd always pick up Kahlua flavour from either Safeway or Save-On. I haven't had that in a few years now, but...
I like my sugar with coffee and cream. :P
And the coffee just keeps on flowing... it's free at work, all day... and it's goooood coffee.
Wow, well I was just out for coffee and got to meet Tony, nice fella, interesting and likes nifty drinks ^.^ more fuzzies would be spiffy keen next time *Bounce!* and Wow! you are a ball of energy Alleycat :)
Would you still say that if I told you I only had one cup of coffee all week?
That discludes energy drinks, but still.
I'm ctually quite mellow of a feline, really.
Very neato ^.^ I had a cup yesterday and today, hopefully more to come *Bounce!*
I'll just stick to my Rockstar Coffee Drink for now. :P
Even though it says on the can, don't drink more than one a day.

Ugh, my sympathies. I used to work a similar shift when I was on the helpdesk here - it really blows.
Anyway, I'd probably be up for some kinda breakfasty thing on the weekend, or hell, maybe even on a weekday if it's somewhere like around Metrotown (I work in south Burnaby - should be to work by about 9:30).

Thanks for coming out, Librem, it was great to meet you. =) If I get some days off in future, I'll try and set something up again with a little more notice, and maybe we'll get a few more folks out!
I'm nocturnal. but i looooove my coffee!
Coffee Coffee Coffee Coffee...
Coffee *ear perks?* Where? gimmie!
*Rapes Libby with Coffee flavored dildos*
O.O
I woke up at seven, even though I didnt sleep at all yesterday, and didnt get to bed till 2. Its a bit odd to say the least.
But Ive got my Pucca cup filled with sweet hazelnut coffee, and i made sweet sweet breakfasts for Micah and I.
Thank gods the Turkey didnt malfunction in the oven overnight, cause I didnt wake up to my alarm to check on it @3@.....

I didn't go through the entire forum but... mornings? what the hell are those? is that that period of time when that strange warm yellow ball rises into the sky?
mmmm coffees
Mourning is when you are unhappy for the death of a friend or loved one.
COFFEE!!!
Now that I've got your attention... *g*
Anyone free this Monday, Victoria Day, who would like to connect at Metrotown or someplace similar, around 9, 9:30?
I've got designs on other peoples' money for the afternoon and have to be in Richmond for 11, but it'd be great to get together with folks before that if anyone's up for it.
(Wow, planning ahead? From me?! I've been bodysnatched!)
Anyone up for coffee today, Thursday? I don't work till late and would love to go out and get a cup of coffee.
*reads this while drinking coffee*
I have school, so I'm not sure if I would have time, but if I do I'd be up for it. I get out at 3pm around so give me a call a little after that actually my phone's cut out right now, so I'll try calling you on another phone after school.

Anyone up for this? Leave a note here so I know whether or not to sleep in. =)
Enjoy your sleep-in, d00d. :3
Heh. Yeah, guess so. Ah well, I tried. =)

Aww. Maybe next time, Star. =)

Hi, I'm Gary, and I'm a coffee addict.
("Hi, Gary!")
@.@;
Having had a girlfriend who worked at multiple coffee shops (real ones, not Charbucks, blech :p) and being hooked up with free espresso and cheap beans for home sealed the deal. Plus, I was used to drinking 2Ls of Jolt Cola in high school. :D I can't start my day properly any more without some form of caffeine. Lately I've just been stopping by the Timmie's in Granville Station on my way to work, or making something in my little Bodum french press/travel mug hybrid (which is AWESOME, by the way).
My only problem is that I like coffee too much, and my tummy and other miscellaneous insides don't quite share the same enthusiasm. :( I wish Jolt didn't use HFCS...
