Okay, you know how WordPress gives you those annoying little prompts after you publish a post? Well, like I said, I find  a lot of those annoying, but occasionally I stumble onto one that I think is interesting, and I save it for future reference. I now give you three posts in one, all inspired by WordPress.

If you were a flavour, what would you be?

Something really powerful. As much as I would love to be one of my favourite flavours (grape and strawberry, or if scents are included, vanilla and lavender) I really don’t think that they’re  good indicators of my personality. I would probably be a lemon-y flavour, really strong and mind zapping. Actually, I could probably get away with calling myself cinnamon; also strong, but more universally pleasant, not as harsh.

Man, I’m kind of flattering myself here. Thinking objectively, someone who had a single conversation with me would while I’m in a very me-ish type of mood would probably describe me as mint-y; pleasant in some ways and a little overpowering in others…and questionable when paired with chocolate >_>. Someone who had a conversation with me when I wasn’t in a me-ish mood (ex. someone I’m not comfortable talking to) would probably call me spinach; mild, not good, but not bad.

Create a new law that will make the world a more fun place.

Under the  orders of me, myself and I, all citizens of the world have to sing a note or a series of notes in extremely emotional situations. As much as we lover hearing standard emotional noises such as “OW!”, “Gah”, and *gasp*, I think we as humans can better describe our emotions through musical notes rather than pointless gibberish.

That being said, the notes that are sung in emotional situations are permitted to lack lyrical content and simply be a musical noise created to sum up a situation or one’s feelings. If your created song does contain lyrics, keep them simple and clean. Unoriginal songs are also permitted. For example, if you receive a laptop for christmas and feel the need to sing a portion of ‘I’m Walking on Sunshine’, feel free to do so.

Emotional songs should not be longer than 30 seconds, because at that point you’re just annoying people.

The reason this new law is being put in place is because people have a natural need to express themselves, and if they must do so it might as well be a little fun ;)

Do you usually remember your dreams?

Nope, and I’m happier that way.

Let me explain to you the inner workings of my brain.

When I’m dreaming, I’m working. When I’m dreaming, 1 out of 59 times will it be a beautiful and entertaining dream, the remaining 58 are dreams where I am either:

a) Being chased or terrified by spiders/werewolves/creepy people/lunatics/TV characters.

b) Working on some sort of huge, stressful school/company project that is usually late and/or done poorly.

So, as you can see, when I remember my dreams I wake up exhausted and stressed, and that’s just no fun.

Before you all flip out and call me insane for dreaming of this sh#t, let me remind you that these are only the dreams I remember. More than 80% of the time, I wake up with nothing, and I like it that way. If I wake up and I feel like I spent the past 8 hours doing absolutely nothing but resting in a comfy bed, I definitely feel more relaxed and well rested.

Let me explain to you how a normal person’s brain works (myself included).

When we sleep, are level of awareness is lowered, so we’re presumably less likely to remember what the hell was happening to us. We tend to remember dreams best if we wake up while they’re still occurring, so if you forget your dream immediately, it’s probably because you finished it. According to some guy named Hobson, people forget about 95% of their dreams.

Yeah, I’ve never been a huge dreamer. Ever. I’ve had some people who get really pissed off when they forget their dreams, and I guess I can understand how they want to remember their own little fantasy, but I don’t share their pissed off-ness.

TANGENT: I remember when I was younger I periodically had these dreams where waking up (in real life) was actually part of the dream! Those were annoying as f#ck! I could always kind of/sort of remember what happened in those dreams, but it was always fast and confusing, like I had taken cocaine in my sleep. I would hardly get any sleep because the dream would quickly force me awake. I would fall back asleep in a matter of seconds and continue the dream, but they were so horrible and confusing that I would spend an enormous amount of strength trying to stay awake.

Like I said before, I wake up exhausted when I dream.
