Stomach: Really, Greg? Pie for breakfast…again?
Brain: Yeah, that’s right. What the hell are you gonna do about it?
Stomach: I have put up with an alternation of pure dairy and pure sugar and alcohol for nearly two weeks now. You eat crushed, chocolate-covered Oreo-balls for dinner! I am getting tired of this shit. That’s the last one.
Brain: Hahahahahah THINK AGAIN, BITCH

Dear Diary,
So I had a dream last night. It was a haphazardly assembled medley of conversation topics from the last three days, most of which sadly revolved around bears, cats, photography, and other tumblr users.
Wherever I lived, it was peaceful, isolated, and wooded—in The Canadian Pine Tradition—which was completely normal. A cool, cloudless, fall-but-nonetheless-green-due-to-coniferous-tendencies day...
