Mirrors

Last night I dreamt I was in a house with a girl that kept morphing identities (Which is not unusual in my dreams. It's probably the same for you). We were standing together and looking into a mirror. When we looked at the mirror from just the right angle, we caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a zombie-girl and I was filled with fear. This happened several times in the dream, and then the third time we looked into the mirror we saw what appeared to be a hipster owl (see picture).

I left the room and went into another bedroom, where my mom presented me with a wooden carving of another hipster owl. She told me she'd found it within the curtains that covered her room's window.

Immediately I woke up, terrified. It's been some time since a dream frightened me so badly it woke me up. My vision settled on the mirror that hangs on the inside of my bedroom door. I could see the reflection of my curtains and the light from the alleyway outside my window. Against all logic, I was afraid.

uhmerica

I really just wanted an excuse to write the word 'uhmerica'. Up until about 2 minutes ago I actually thought I made this word up, but apparently it's actually the title of Regina Spektor song. However, my version is not hyphenated and therefore better.

For some reason the word has been floating around in my head and randomly coming to the service for a matter of months now. Maybe now it'll go away.
