""So there was this guy, right? He was like, tallish, maybe some black hair. No, wait, that's wrong. Nah, I mean he had red hair and some freckles. Right? Yeah, something like that... I think, and he was... umm, wait..." "Oh boy, here he goes again, talking himself in circles." OR, "Stop, don't talk yourself in circles!" "...and it's a little orange too, with a braid belt thing around the waist, or maybe it was the arm. It was black... a little white on the sides... ahh, I can't explain this, I'm only talking myself in circles.""
