update twenty minutes later: ah i've been doing this for too long ! now whenever i read something i think it's someone's last words. this might become troublesome.
five minutes after that: i always have some song in my head and for the past minute i've been singing a song from nick and norah's infinite playlist and i just remembered it's called "last words!" this is why i don't drink caffeine, it makes me incredibly hyper and morbid ahaha :/
