My brain: Hey, are we awake?
Me: We were, but now we're going back to sleep.
My brain: Dude! We're totally awake! Awesome! Weee!
Me: Quiet, you. I'm going back to sleep.
My brain: Okay, but before you go back to sleep,listen to me for a minute. While you were sleeping, I totally came upwith this idea for the manga script you're supposed to be writing.
Me: I'm very proud of you. Let's talk about it in a few hours. After I wake up for real.
My brain: But it's so cool! Okay, here's what happens . . .
Me: SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!
My brain: It's due in 11 days, dude. I think you should just get up and start writing.
Me: It's . . . [look at the clock] 5:13 in the morning, dude! It's still dark.
My brain: Okay. If you really want to sleep, go ahead. I'll be here when you wake up.
Me: Thank you.
30 seconds later . . .
My brain: '"I'm a cowboy! On a steel horse I ride! I'm wanted (wanted!) Dead or alive! Bow wow wow woooowwwwww."
Me: What. Are. You. Doing.
My brain: I sing to myself when I can't sleep.
Me: But . . . Bon Jovi? Really?
My brain: Hey, maybe you should play less Rock Band.
Me: I hate you.
My brain: As long as you're awake, why don't you get out of bed and write down this awesome story idea I have? It'll be fun!
Me: I'm going to kill you with so much Arrogant Bastard tonight.
My brain: Yay! Everyone wins!
Yay! Everyone wins!!
