Crazy people at Crazy hour

Here I am, at 4 in the morning, in the internet cafe which I frequented only during the day when my streamyx is down. I have never known until now...well...probably heard of it but not seen it with my own eyes that there can be so many people at this hour. I have expected a few owls but not a 95% occupancy rate in a 100 pc room. All youngsters playing games. Tomorrow is Friday. A working or schooling day. Mm...guess they are another category of youngsters. They in turn must be wondering what this old lady is doing here right now. The only pages that she is looking at are full or words. Crazy. Oh ya, you too. Crazy.
