[Someone is nightblogging on Dumblr]

So... Has anyone else noticed some... uh, well, weird things going on, because um. There are some pretty weird things going on right now. Like a lot of weird things.

Right, anyway.

Why do we bake 'cookies' and cook bacon? I mean, come on, you think we could have named things better here.

[Someone might be a bit hungry also.]

That is a very good question.

But then I've always maintained that English was a ridiculous language. German is so much better. Don't have a word for something? Mash two other words together and there you go.

[greenmoonrising]

Peter, sometimes I really think you should take to bringing snacks to bed. Your midnight rantings might be more sensible if you weren't hungry.

[patrioticspells]

Are you okay?

[speterman]

I thought so too!

Yeah, I will admit we do say some silly things, huh?

[thisperfectsaucer]

Very silly things. Tear and tear don't rhyme, but tear and tier do? Madness.

[speterman]

My midnight rantings are sensible! Just think about it.

[speterman]

Yes, I'm fine. Why do you ask?

[greenmoonrising]

Sleep-deprived more like.

[patrioticspells]

You seem a bit [pauseeeee...] off.

[speterman]

Thank you! We don't stick to any of the same rules like, ever, and nothing makes SENSE.

[speterman]

A little, running on adrenaline! I've only slept for approximately seven hours all week!

[speterman]

How so?

[greenteengenius]

Isn't odd normal for this place?

[greenmoonrising]

... Peter, do you need a sleeping draught or anything? I think I've got some in my trunk.

[patrioticspells]

You've said "weird" three times and then you wrote out "uh" and "um".

[speterman]

I was just writing something instead of leaving a big ugly ink blot where I paused to think. It is weird though.

Why can't I say weird?

...What's wrong with weird?

[patrioticspells]

Sometimes when people get needlessly repetitive it's weird.

[speterman]

That would probably be a good idea, um, yeah, sure.

[speterman]

Repetition is the key to retention though.

It could be that I haven't really been sleeping all week either.

[thisperfectsaucer]

French is the same way. A lot of the rules boil down to 'it just sounds better that way'.

[speterman]

It seems like it, yeah.

You'd figure I'd be used to it by now, huh?

[greenmoonrising]

I'll bring you a bottle, just a sec.

[patrioticspells]

I think by now everyone knows what "weird" means.

Maybe you should go to bed, Parker.

[speterman]

I doubt you will be here within a second.

[greenmoonrising]

120 seconds then.
