Livestreams scare me. The reason is pretty plain to see if you were watching Markiplier's charity livestream. It went well, but at one point he called a friend over the phone and they were talking, whatever. Then the guy yells and says something about his defibrillator malfunctioning, and he had to go to the hospital. It's not like it was the first time for him apparently, and he's fine now, he even messaged back while in the hospital during the stream. That's just a small fear I have of them, something going terribly wrong.

"Something going terribly wrong" is a contingency with waking up in the morning. Embrace whatever may come.

 

SPEAKING OF WHICH. In my two hours of sleep last night, I had a crazy nightmare that I went to babysit a kid, then decided to go to the mall for some reason and forgot to bring him along. Then his parents got mad and shipped me a package full of random stuff saying they were really mad at me. So I went to their house to apologize in person and they gave me a car.

 

Yup.

 

Oh yeah, obligatory song of the day for Patch:
