thatstrangegyrl: *poke*
OniMun: Mowr?
thatstrangegyrl: *is excruciatingly bored and unable to sleep*
OniMun: I bought a pillow yesterday.
thatstrangegyrl: An interesting one, or just a normal one?
OniMun: A normal one.
OniMun: I wasn't intending to buy a pillow.
thatstrangegyrl: *bought a vibrating pillow a month or two ago*
OniMun: But I was at the store, and there happened to be a display of pillows, and I thought "Hey, I could use a new pillow"
thatstrangegyrl: *amused* I'd assumed that's how everyone bought pillows.
OniMun: They were nice looking pillows, 29.99 with a second one for a penny
OniMun: I had my backpack, and after testing, figured I could manage to stuff one in there.
OniMun: But not two.
OniMun: Which is just fine by me, as I only need one pillow.
thatstrangegyrl: O.o
OniMun: The clerk was also exceedingly helpful.
thatstrangegyrl: The logical thing to do would have been to buy the second pillow, and then hand it to someone at random outside the store.
OniMun: She was wanting to stick the second one under the counter, or make other arrangements, and was asking me if I'd be back again soon and could just grab it later or whatever.
OniMun: I did offer the second one to the clerk.
OniMun: I told her she was very sweet, but she was putting too much worry into something that only costs a penny.
thatstrangegyrl: R: You should love your cats, but not LOVE your cats.

nekouken: Not without a safeword, at least.

R: The safeword is 'mew.'
OniMun: I got the pillow home, took it out, threw it on the bed.
OniMun: Took the old one--which had deflated to the point where I needed to fold it in half for it to be comfortably supportive--and tossed it on the floor on the far side of the room, so I wouldn't wind up sleeping on it. When your pillow has reached the point where you CAN fold it in half, and it'll hold that position, without any weight on it, it's time to buy a new pillow.
OniMun: I woke up this morning snuggling the old pillow.
OniMun: So that means that at some point during the night I got out of bed, at my estimation -still fully unconscious- and fetched the old pillow.
thatstrangegyrl: *wry grin* ...I find that oddly relieving. *had to put her old pillow in the closet under a box to keep from getting it in the night after she got her latest Actual Pillow*
thatstrangegyrl: "I walked home across the garden last night singing very loud bear songs, which went something along the lines of, "Lalala, I am singing very loudly to alert the bear to my presence, Lalala because most of the websites I've found talk about making noise and giving bears lots of time to get away, Lalala also I do not want to startle a bear at all because according to everything I've read on the subject bears do not like being startled." You don't have to worry about rhymes with bears. They don't mind about rhymes. Or tunes. Or scansion. Frankly, hypothetical bears are a very easy sort of audience."
