I had a dream last night

that myself and some others were on our way home from Connect and staying in this person's house for some reason, though in real life it's only an eight hour drive that's how dreams work

it was the house of someone I've never even met in real life, only someone I've heard about in passing so it makes no sense that we'd be there but regardless, it was a sty

towards the end of the dream we were in this crazy messy house and I kept hearing this super annoying chiming sound, like a ringtone on a phone or something

so I'm running around this house in my dream looking for the source of this sound and Ty is sitting on the bed and Alex-lee is sitting at the computer and I'm yelling at them

help me find this sound I'm going crazy

and I open up this wall vent and taped inside is a cordless phone which appears to be the cause of this sound. I look and the batteries are duct-taped in and I rip off the duct tape and pull out the batteries

but the sound keeps on going

so I'm running around this house like a madwoman ripping open drawers and looking under couches and yelling at Ty and Alex-lee for not helping me, and I tear open another vent and find a blackberry stuffed inside with the batteries taped into it and I think

this guy is playing a prank on me

so I pull the batteries out but the sound keeps going and going and I feel like I'm going out of my mind in this dream

and then I wake up and realize that the sound is coming from Ty's iPhone which is in the kitchen and going off because he's in the shower. So I haul myself out of bed still half-asleep, turn off the alarm and lie down trying to get back the extra fifteen minutes of sleep that I've been robbed of.

and that's why we had a fight this morning*

 

 

* we didn't have a fight. i lied.
