OH HAI. YOU BUSY? (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Brain: HEY.
Me: Zzzzzz.
Brain: OH HEY.
Me: Zzzz….buh? Wha’s goin’ on?
Brain: CHECK THIS OUT.
Me: Burglars? Fire? Aliens?
Brain: NOPE. EVERYTHING’S FINE. CHECK THIS OUT.
Me: …It’s quarter to four in the goddamned morning.
Brain: I KNOW. AWESOME, RIGHT? CHECK THIS OUT.
Me: I am going to kill you, even if it kills us both. Because you are an annoying little git.
Brain: I DIED DOING WHAT I LOVE. NOW CHECK THIS OUT.
Me:…Story ideas? You woke me up in the asshole of the night to show me story ideas? Can you not see that I was sleeping?
Brain: SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK. NOW WRITE THIS DOWN BEFORE IT GOES AWAY.
Me: I’ll have to go to the other room. Can’t you hold on to it until morning? You know, proper morning, not this cut-rate pre-dawn bull shit?
Brain: THAT’S NOT THE DEAL, MOTHERFUCKER.
Me:….Did you just call me—?
Brain: THE DEAL IS YOU WRITE THIS DOWN NOW OR I FLUSH IT DOWN THE MEMORY HOLE FOREVER. THAT’S HOW THIS WORKS. NOW STOP BEING A WHINY LITTLE TIT AND GET OUT OF BED, ASSFACE.
Me: (getting out of bed) I hate you.
Brain: HA HA HA. YOU’RE ADORABLE WHEN YOU’RE TIRED AND HOMICIDAL.
Me: (going to find notepad) Die in a fire.
Cat: Oh, are you awake now? Awesome. Feed me, servant, lest I rend your feet with my claws.
Me: (writing) I’m going to start mainlining coffee.
When my brain does that to me the ideas that felt like genius in the middle of the night look like the insane ramblings of a shroom addict in the morning.
I get that, too, but this one was actually pretty good. It’s not a complete idea, obviously, but it’s an interesting concept. Still didn’t make me happy about waking up at 4 AM, mind you. My brain is a cast-iron cunt sometimes.
When I grow up I would like to blog like you, please.
Also, @Kat: Word. I remember working on a piece once and, right before fading off to sleep I was like ‘This is it, this is the perfect idea to make this story work! Of course! DINOSAURS.’ It seemed less viable in the morning light.
When I grow up I want to be a tiger. Or a superhero. Superhero tiger. Yeesssssss, that will do.

I should probably say – that’s not a spam link. It’s you fulfilling your destiny as super-tigress.
O_O Hello, new formal attire.
