oh, i can “turn” a phrase…

…turn it into MAGIC.

i get phrases stuck in my head. they just stick there in a loop. sometimes it’s a bit of a song. other times it’s quote from a movie/tv show. sometimes it’s two phrases that have nothing to do with each other that get hitched up or melted together in my head, and they become one strange and very, very, very useless phrase.

one was so long and useless that i had to call up my best pal, laura, and tell her about it.

“hi!”

“hey! so anyway, i have to tell you something.”

“okay.”

“i have this phrase in my head. i can’t get it out.”

“okay.”

“so i’m thinking if i say it out loud to someone else it will… i don’t know… lose it’s power.”

“okay.”

“but i have to warn you, it’s a stupid phrase. it makes no sense. it’s… well, it’s embarrassing.”

“okay.”

“right. so here it is: “contributing to the delinquency of this fully armed and operational battlestation.””

“oh. wow.”

“i know.”

“that is quite…”

“useless. i know. but i can’t stop saying it over and over in my head.”

“you know who would like that?”

“who?”

“chris.”

“*gasp* hey, you’re right!”

and blah blah blah blah.

since then i’ve had two more stupid phrase combos in my noggin. none quite as long as that one though.

one was: “speak now or for amber waves of grain.” the other one must have been even more stupid because i’ve forgotten it.

in other really useless junk in my brain:

last night i dreamt that i won an award for discovering that the numbers between the numbers on any given sudoku puzzle (yes, that’s right. the numbers between the numbers. the sudoku fractions. on the lines? yes. THOSE “numbers”. and WHAT THE HELL DID I EAT LAST NIGHT?) right, where was i? an award. i won an award for discovering that the numbers between the numbers on a sudoku puzzle (the lines, basically) all held values of ectoplasmic polarity.

what the hell is ectoplasmic polarity?

shit. i’m inventing science IN MY SLEEP, BITCHES.
