I’ll take what I can get
I got to sleep until 5AM!
For whatever reason I didn’t wake up until 5 today–my body has been attacking my REM somewhere between 1 and 4AM but for whatever reason today I got to sleep in! woo hoo
Of course, I woke up in the middle of my brain spouting off a favorite 80’s hit you may remember, “Don’t worry, Be Happy”. Thanks, Brain.
Brains are weird.
I don’t know about you but my brain sometimes has nothing to do with me.
It’s like me and my brain are conjoined twins and it’s just hosting off me. Sometimes I have no idea what my brain is going to do.
It even calls me names.
Yesterday I wanted some potato chips in the kitchen. I was sitting in the living room and I thought “oh, yum, there are potato chips on top of the refrigerator–I should get them” and then I said to myself “nah, I don’t feel like it”.
Now that part is perfectly normal, right? We all have little internal conflicts, but here is the part I’m not sure of. The “abnormal” part, if you will.
After the “nah, I don’t feel like it” part something/someone in my head said “Bitch!”
My brain totally cursed me out for not feeding it some Frito Lays.
Am I in the early stages of schizophrenia? maybe it’s just sleep deprivation…

Wow your head is really fussy. Sorry to hear about the insomnia. I would hate to read about what else your brain could yell at you about. So picky.

That cracked me up
Sorry to read you’re still having sleep troubles, but yay for sleeping in (a bit!)

Hi Amy, it’s Marianne from Paris – I’ve assumed a new alias and fresh blog after I realised I was no longer anonymous… I’m sorry to hear about your brain! I totally know what you mean though, I find my brain talks to me most in that bit in between sleeping and waking.. but luckily it’s usually quite polite, if a little confused!

the brain is the utimate carrot…it dangles itself in front of our very own eyes…it sways back and forth with promises of sweet surrender….and just when we go in for the bite….we realize that our juicy carrot was indeed a prune…a prune that makes us shit out all of our best realities…
brains are nothing more than a complicated intestine…things come out as soon as they come in.
