My roommate: Let's call her "Henry"

[Gwazi Magnum]

Kaga said It suits me, though. :3

It does. :P
But you are a furry now.

[Hellis]

Meh. Ciuld be worse. She coiuld be wearing a fedora ...

[Gwazi Magnum]

Hellis said Meh. Ciuld be worse. She could be wearing a fedora ...

Well good thing no one here is wearing a fedora.

[Hellis]

oh. What is that in you ava oh wait. Might it be a trillby. Legendary headwear of neckus beardis omegis. Seriusly ghough. Wearing a cat hat makes you look like a gianr weeb. Not a furry. Get your shit straight.

[Gwazi Magnum]

Hellis said Might it be a trillby.

And we have a winner!

Wear that hat and wear it proudly.

Y'know, you look kinda like someone I know.

[Kaga]

So. Recently, Henry's been complaining about insomnia.

I told her that she probably can't sleep because she drinks soda at 11:30 at night right before she goes to bed, and that maybe she should try water, since it seems like soda is the only thing she ever drinks anyway.

Apparently, she is strongly against the idea of drinking water, claiming that "old people drink water!" and also that we bathe in it. Basically, as she puts it, "water is groooooooss!!"

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

Therapy.

Lots of therapy.

I had an acquaintance like that, once. Have you suggested flavored water or adding Mio or Crystal Light or something to water? There are sugar and caffeine-free varieties if you are truly concerned about leading her away from after-dinner soda.

"Why would you pay 2... maybe 3 dollars for a little bottle of mio, and then add it to gross water, when you could spend 2 dollars on a big bottle of soda. Ask yourself that."

^ Her response to that suggestion.

Now she's rambling about tapioca balls and I really don't know how we got from point A to point B since I tuned her out while I was typing. And in the time it took for me to type that she started rambling about Jack Harkness. Now I'm telling her to go to sleep.

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

Why would you pay $2 for a finite amount of soda when you can drink an infinite amount of water for freeeeeee

especially on a student budget, sheesh how does she afford it?

[Gwazi Magnum]

Raxacoricofallapatorius said Y'know, you look kinda like someone I know.

Is this someone in Canada? :P

Kaga said Basically, as she puts it, "water is groooooooss!!"

She does know water is in Soda... right?

Kaga said And in the time it took for me to type she started rambling about Jack Harkness.

She has good taste. :P

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

Magic Magnum said

Nope, someone in Illinois.

[Kaga]

Yes. That is her argument for not ever drinking plain water. She claims that she gets enough water from the soda she drinks.

I for one am still stuck on "old people drink water!" XD

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

Fun fact: not drinking (regular) water will age you more quickly.

At the rate she drinks soda she'll soon be old enough to drink water, according to her logic.

[Gwazi Magnum]

B... but, she's over 70% water.

[Kaga]

Magic Magnum said

I told her that. Didn't change her mind.

[Gwazi Magnum]

I... I don't understand.

Based on what's been said, the solutions left to her are:

1) Better sleeping habits may mitigate it
2) Sleeping Pills, not the best but a solution nevertheless

Also are you sure its just the soda? A likely culprit which probably isn't helping the situation anyway but it could be for other reasons.

*shrugs* I'm no expert on the subject. But when she complained about not being able to sleep while chugging root beer, it seemed like an obvious suggestion.
