this literally happens every night

  • Me: WHELP, it's midnight - guess I'd better get to bed!
  • Internet: NOOOOOO DON'T LEEEEEEAVE MEEEEEE
  • Brain: You know you want to.
  • Me: I guess I could stay a little longer....
  • Me: *internets*
  • Me: WHELP, it's twelve thirty - guess I'd better get to bed!
  • Internet: But, but -
  • Me: No, seriously. Bed.
  • Me: *goes to bed*
  • Body: I'm actually pretty tired -
  • Brain: Fuck you and the horse you rode in on. We're reading a book.
  • Me: We are?
  • Brain: ....
  • Me: ....
  • Me: *reads*
  • Me: OK, that was fun, but I really need to -
  • Brain: MORE.
  • Me: Another chapter couldn't hurt...
  • Me: *reads*
  • Me: Right it's 1am. We are officially in tomorrowland! The light is going OFF.
  • Body: You really should go to the bathroom again, just in case. You know how you hate getting comfy and then having to get up.
  • Me: But I'm comfy NOW.
  • Body: My point exactly.
  • Me: AGH.
  • Me: *goes to bathroom*
  • Me: EVERYONE SHUT UP NOW RIGHT WE ARE GOING TO SLEEP.
  • Brain: Sorry, I didn't catch that. Did you say, "Think about awesome things?" Because I'm pretty sure you did.
  • Brain: *thinks loudly and unsleepably*
  • Me: Every night. EVERY SINGLE NIGHT.
  • Brain: "Every single night, the same arrangement - I go out and fight the fight. Still I always feel this strange estrangement - nothing here is real, nothing here is right!"
  • Me: ENOUGH WITH THE BUFFY MUSICAL REFERENCES. YOU ARE A DEMONIC, EVIL BRAINBEAST.
  • Brain: "I've got a theory that it's a demon - a dancing demon, nyeh, something isn't right there. I've got a theory some kid is dreaming - and we're all stuck inside his wacky broadway nightmare."
  • Me: YES. WE ARE. APPARENTLY.
  • Brain: Spoilsport.
  • Me: FINALLY.
  • Brain: Whatever.
  • Me: ....
  • Me: ....
  • Me: ....
  • Body: *itches madly*
  • Me: WHYYYYYYY
  • Me: *scratches, tries to get comfortable, fails*
  • Brain: Seriously, just go back to the internet. Sleep is for losers.
  • Me: *facepalm*
  • Brain: Also, FYI? We're totally blogging this tomorrow. Ooh, you know what else would be an awesome blog idea?
  • Me: *sobs into pillow*
