Ah ha ha let's think about my brain.
Okay, so maybe it isn't just me, either. But let's say I have, for some inscrutable reason, spent my evening reading about something morbid or other (as you do) - death and disaster and lousy dental hygiene or whatevertheheck have you.
I will, without fail, look up at, say, eleven pm or so and think to myself, gee - I had better do something else for a while because otherwise I'll have trouble going to sleep. So dutifully, I Google up ponies and rainbows and things, and la la la, now it's midnight or whatever.
So, good. Time to brush my teeth. And I get up and the house is all dark, and I'm halfway down the hall when my brain kicks in:
BETTER NOT THINK ABOUT ANYTHING SCARY JUST NOW IN THE DARK.
Shut up.
LIKE ALL THAT STUFF YOU WERE READING OF, THAT WAS SOME MESSED UP STUFF.
Shut up!
IN FACT, BETTER NOT THINK OF ANYTHING SCARY.
Okay, I won-
YEAH, BETTER NOT THINK ABOUT KENNEDY ASSASSINATION PHOTOS OR COCKPIT VOICE RECORDINGS FROM CRASHED FLIGHTS OR -
Wait what are you doing stop it
- OR OR SERIAL MURDERS OR OLD-TIMEY DEATH PHOTOGRAPHY OR -
Shut up shut up shut up
And there you are. I have to watch myself in the mirror the whole time I brush my teeth because if I look away, something will be standing behind me when I look again, and then I have to run down my hallway. Twenty two years old and running through my own home because the gollywoggles might get me.
Geeeeeeeez.
