Rainbows Flying Out of Our Asses

Finally waking up in my bed was a particularly enjoyable feeling.
I could bitch and moan all I wanted about my parents, this was home and it felt good to be back.
On the other hand, being woken up by a hysterical Asian girl jumping up and down on me wasn’t a particularly enjoyable feeling—wait er, when you say it like that… that didn’t… wait huh, in another context, technically, for some, meaning not me, as in, not myself, this would be considered as enjoyable and for fudge cake I wasn’t supposed to be coherent when I didn’t get my twelve hours of sleep!
“What do you waaaaant,” I whined for my friend’s benefit, grabbing my pillow, hiding my face underneath it, while Maika shook my shoulders, trying to wake me up.
“You know what I want,” she crooned.
I groaned in exasperation. “What time is it?”
“Seven-ish,” she answered still overly joyful.
“Oh my BUDDHA! Seven in the fugging morning? Get lost woman,” I all but yelled and rolled on my stomach, making her fall on the ground, off of me, and covered myself with my cover and pillows.
We had gone to sleep at four in the fugging morning. That wasn’t even three hours of sleep. Was that girl out of her fugging mind?
“You promised,” she reminded me, jumping back on me, sitting on my butt. “I have to leave for brunch at eleven. This is the only time we have.”
“Come back in one hour,” I mumbled against my mattress.
“I’ll give you 20 minutes,” she settled, got off of me, and slapped my butt before leaving.
Ugh. I should sell that woman on the black market.
Why had I agreed to this? Oh yes, because I’m a fugging idiot. I shouldn’t have agreed to this. Unlike my unobservant best friend I wasn’t an alien life form that could sustain without sleep. I needed sleep. A lot of it. And the worse thing was I had been having such a nice dream.
Maybe I could just fall asleep again, forget about Maika and her stupid demands and early wake up calls. But the thing was, I knew my friend, and if I wasn’t up and ready in twenty minutes I would regret ever considering not going.
I could get out of bed, duct tape her to the railing, and crawl back under the covers… If I only opened one eye to do it, I knew I’d fall right back asleep. But then she’d scream like a bitch and I wouldn’t be able to sleep either way.
My life sucks.
What would Buddha do? He would rub his tummy.
I groaned against my mattress again and pushed myself out of my bed in one quick movement.
I quickly made sure I was seemingly decently covered—boxer on, check—and made my way downstairs, dragging my feet.
