so, do you guys prefer to burn the midnight oil and fold till late? or do you like to make hay while the sun shines, so to speak? :)

the only reason it came to mind was because i am about to put in a couple good hours of folding, and its like, 10:30pm. :(

oh, and i'm new to the forum, so hi everyone. :) this seems like a cool place.

and, i don't know why i chose such a stupid name (actually it's a song by sun ra) so just call me nick, if you remember. :)

I have totally stayed up past 3 AM on many a night, just folding (usually CPs).
On the other hand I usually can't stay up past 2 to finish papers...

I once stayed up until 2AM to finish Kamiya's Ancient Dragon.
After finishing it... I tried admir/play/stare at it for a while...and I accidentally fell asleep. I woke up to find a mangled dragon. :(

i started folding 1000 cranes mid january with little to no previous origami experience.

when i saw the kawasaki rose i decided i had to make a dozen of them for valentines day, it took me 13 hours to make the first one (11 hours and then i found dan of toasters) and i was up for 3 days straight making them and writing things to cover the paper i was making them with.

I watch television really late on Wednesdays and I fold while I watch my shows. When I stay with my friend, we fold until really really late! :D

It's not really really late unless the sun is up.

actually there's a point where "really late" turns to "really early" [img]http://freenet-homepage.de/origamichris/ablage/nod.gif[/img]

folding at night can be really fun, especially when you have a really dim light so it's really hard to see the creases :D

Really really late is very relative. There was a time when I went to bed usually at 4am, so staying awayke until 6am would have been really late, but now that I go to bed earlier (around 2am) 4am seems really late to me. Fortunately all the models that where left in my hands when falling asleep survived undamaged :D

that's surely some kind of origami-magic 8)

Its kind of depressing, lately I've been getting good at putting down my paper and going to sleep.

:(

I miss my late night folds!



I once folded 'till 2 AM, only to tear my paper...

I've only really folded until midnight before. I barely get enough sleep, anyway

Yes that's what I mean... Folding until midnight. My normal bed time (except for Wednesdays :P) is voluntarily 8.45 so anyhing past 10 is really really late for me.
