A conversation between my sister and I:
Me: I’ve been having a really hard time falling asleep lately, so I started drinking chamomile tea.
Sister: That’s a good idea.
Me: Yeah, and it’s helping, BUT it’s giving me really weird dreams.
Sister: Really?
Me: Yeah. Like… I had this dream the other night where I was in some sort of a desert camp thingy and I had to complete all these challenges and obstacles in order to be let out. All of a sudden a pack of red-eyed jackally things started chasing me, I remember that very clearly… and then I remember that our brother-in-law was supposed to be the guy that would pick me up when I got to the finish and get me out of there, and we were communicating through an earpiece like spies!
Sister: …uh-huh…
Me: And so I was all “HELP! JACKALS ARE CHASING ME!” and he was all “YOU CAN DO THIS!”
Sister: ….
Me: And then I got to this one room and there was a huge river running through it and that’s where I saw the other contestants and there were people on the other side and they were all “You have to make the bridge appear!” and I was all “I DON’T KNOW HOW!” But then I started figuring out that you had to whistle to the bridge at the right frequency and it would appear. Very Zelda.
Sister: What?
Me: And that’s all I remember. The point is that chamomile is really fracking with my brain.
Sister: To be fair, you’re a pretty weird person anyway… it’s possible the the chamomile is just helping you sleep soundly… and that’s why you’re remembering all the weird dreams suddenly.
Me: …
….
……
………..
You make a fair point.

In other news, I’ve mentioned before that when I’m not writing about my weirdness, I sell books in an independent bookshop. Books are kinda my thing. So, my other bookselling buddy and I have decided to invade the Internet with our bookishness by starting a book review vlog titled “Page Break” and it’s going to be super awesome. Here is our introduction video:
So for all you book-loving nerds out there, find us on Facebook, Twitter, and Riffle Books! Our first review will be up on Thursday, February 20th!
Thanks for your support, Duckies!
