Dragons vs. Aliens VS. Tranquilty vs. Insanity

This was this mornings dialog as Christina lumbers up to me at the breakfast table, with sunken, distant eyes

Xian: It glows. It Glows!
Me: What? *giving her a look of something between confusion and mild concern...for the both of us*
Xian: The Rock! IT GLOWS! *At this she puts her hands out in front of her looking at the rock she's visualizing the rock in her hands* I didn't get any sleep last night because of her Stupid. Glowing. Rock!
Me: *laughter*

Let me catch you up to speed here, as Christina sits down to breakfast with me, ending the scene:
This weekend Christina got a new roommate- how, or why? *shrug* it was destiny- but this new roommate also came with a dragon egg sized, glow-in-the-dark orange/pink colored, geode looking rock - complete with light inside the center of it. Let me see if I can find a picture of it.
Yeah, it looks a lot like that - only when we first saw it, it was in a plastic bag and it was hard to make-out what it was. I finally settled on unfertilized alien egg (here's hopin'). But nope. It's a glowing rock. huh, fancy that. This is it glowing:

Anyone could mistake that for an alien egg, right? (Except for maybe the electrical cord leading from it...)

Supposedly it's supposed to bring you peace, and tranquility, and some other good thing, but it has to be lit at all times to get the full benefit of it. The only problem is that our dear Christina friend needs complete dark, untainted by glowing geodes, in order to have a fitless night of sleep.
Will Christina ever sleep again? Will she have the guts and cold heartedness to tell little Sara Kim to turn of her rock (seriously, this girl is little- I honestly believe she should legally still be using a booster seat - "It's for your own good Sara.") Or will Christna succumb to insanity?
Join us next week to see the suspenseful conclusion of ROCKS FROM SPACE SPACE space...

heh - I kinda want this one. *sigh* doesn't this just take you back to the first Libba Bray book. Oh the realms- will I ever see you. I hope heaven is like it's depicted in What Dreams May Come - I'd totally pick a fantasy world for mine.

Who would have thought rocks could be SO much fun!
