2 DAYS UNTIL NEW YEARS

The art of sleeping?

Erik: Gabby! *Shakes me Gently* Hey, it's almost noon!

Me: I'm busy love

Erik: How can you sleep so late? I've been up for hours

Me: I just do

Erik: Oh, well can you teach me how?

Me: It's not something that can be taught really, you just do it

Erik: So it's a skill

Me: mhmmmm

Erik: Well either you should get up, or you should try to teach me how to sleep so we both can

Me: Just go to your room, close your eyes, and don't open them

Erik: That's it?

Me: Well that's what I do

*5 mins later*

Erik: Gabby

Me: *Moans* What?

Erik: I can't sleep

Me: Why?

Erik: My beds uncomforable

Me: You sleep in a coffin, how is the bed uncomforable?

Erik: Well usually I'm too tired to notice

Me: Fine, you can share my bed

Erik: Are you sure?

Me: Mhmmmm

Erik: Well, I don't really know...

Me: Look, I'm trying to sleep, and I've got no time to argue. So either get in the bed and shut up, or go away

Erik: I just don't know if it's a good idea

Me: I thought we were fake married

Erik: Yes we are dear it's just

Me: I'm going to sleep now, make your choice

Erik: *Gets in the bed* WOW! This matress is REALLY comfortable!

Me: Mhmmm my friends always fall asleep on my bed. I usually get the floor when they sleep over

Erik: Oh, well I'm gonna go to sleep now

*5 more minutes later*

Erik: Gabby

Me: Now what?

Erik: I can't sleep still

Me: Why?

Erik: I forgot Erik Jr.

Me: Well go get him!

Erik: *Runs and gets Erik Jr.* Ok I'm good now

*5 more minutes*

Erik: Gabby

Me: WHAT?

Erik: Why do you sleep with a stuffed bunny?

Me: You woke me up to ask that?

Erik: Well I've been wondering but I kept forgetting til now

Me: It's name is Marshmallow, and I've slept with him since I can remember

Erik: Really?

Me: Yes. He's been worn as you can see, with the twisted whiskers, missing nose, scratched eyes, and messed up fur, but I still like him

Erik: Why'd you tie a red bow on it?

Me: I don't know. He was looking worn after a while, needed something

Erik: Did you ever have any other toys?

Me: I used to have a Phantom of the Opera doll

Erik: What happened to it

Me: I don't know. It disappeared one day

Erik: Ok, well let's sleep now

Me: Good

*About 2 hours later*

Erik: Uh, Gabby

Me: Mhmmm?

Erik: Why are you cuddling me?

Me: I don't know

Erik: Your arm is over me

Me: Yea...

Erik: Well it's 2 in the afternoon

Me: *Opens eyes* That was fast

Erik: I guess it was.

Me: Did you sleep

Erik: Yea. Didn't even know you were up against me til I woke up

Me: I see...

Erik: So, my next question is WHY do you sleep so late?

Me: Eh, it passes the time

Erik: So you only sleep because your bored?

Me: Yep

Erik: ... Interesting

Erik Jr.: THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA IS THERE! INSIDE YOUR MIND!

Ok, there's today's chapter. I couldn't really think of anything, but I just got an idea. I might try to convince my parents to go on a trip to New York City since we only live like 3-4 hours away. So, we'll see about taking the Phantom there. But if we DO go the chances of getting to see any shows would be slim. That sucks, but oh well. I just saw Phantom of Broadway 3 months ago!

QUESTION OF THE DAY: Where should I take the Phantom on a field trip, besides your house?
