what wideawake in denver? bah ive went nocternal so long ago, now when i see day lighall i turn righ around back into my cave (my very dark apt. lol)

cheers to us night folk

honestly, i don't know what it is a/b the moths. i never got moths like this in boulder. last year was the worst, dozens of moths in the house every night from may - september. i thought i would go crazy!
last night i did my bedtime reading downstairs w/ the dog, then climbed in to bed w/out turning any lights on in my bedroom to try to prevent moths from flying around my head.
well, i hear a faint tick, tick, tick above me and open one eye to see one moth bouncing around the ceiling (woah - i just had a phish flashback - the song "bouncing 'round the room" - i love that song!) where a faint green glow from my statue of liberty night light hits the wall.
i figure, one moth, i can deal w/ that.
then the ticking gets louder and faster. so i open both eyes and there are 5 or 6 moths now bouncing around in the green glow!
completely unsatisfactory!
so i have to dive out of bed, head ducked like i'm dodging bullets, and run into my sewing room and turn on the light in there and the light in the stairwell to lure the moths to the brighter light.
it worked.
but this morning i don't see the moths.
where did they go?
i try to rationalize - they're not dangerous, they don't bite or sting, they don't even eat your wool, and their touch is really soft and gentle, i shouldn't be so freaked out . . .
it doesn't work.

how can you be nocturnal when it's so beautiful in the daytime?
