Every time I get free reign over my schedule, I end up going to bed at 6 AM and waking at 2 PM. I always feel more refreshed, and it seems like creativity and problem solving come to me more naturally in the early AM. I can function on a normal schedule, but not nearly as comfortably. I have a lot of trouble falling asleep if it hasn't been dark out for a long time.

Is this something hard-wired into my DNA? Is there evidence to suggest I can change, and for that matter, should I?

That's actually really interesting, I never thought of the fact that fretless instruments force you to train your ear. Would you say the same level of advantage applies to other fretless string instruments, or does violin afford some extra edge over the others?

My family is real goofy and fixated on our Scottish lineage, with the little hand surrounded by a belt and our "Ne Parcas Nec Spernas" and such, even though we were all born in the US. So I guess my question is, do Scottish people really give a shite about clans or is that just something we do to maintain some sense of cultural identity here in the States?

Nice, I'm gonna see if I can get Limmy to put me on his dumb show. Thanks for the reply!

I can't imagine most are really bothered by it, though I did casually mention it to a Scottish dude on some online game, and he really blew up about classism or something. And I'm just like "yeah... but the tartan sure looks nice."
