It was the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Oxford_Dictionary , just flipped to random pages and chose from a location.

*emphasis mine*

How can you tell you actually flipped to "random pages" and did not do it according to some pattern you're (so far) unaware of? Humans are too predictable to take them at face value when it comes to randomness.

Same goes for word selection on each chosen page.

As it has been mentioned above, I'd try to incorporating some dice into your page and word selection.

Its so easy to use dice for this. Count number of pages, find enough dice with the proper sides to map that number as close as possible. If you ever played pen&paper you probably are prepared for this. Repeat for words on that page.

Im not really here, its just your imagination.

Well one good way to choose random words, but still have it mean something to you. Use a mnemonic, something like "stinky pie" to remember than come up with a phrase using words you will remember.

S - Swedish
T - Tacos
I - Irradiate
N - Nicely
K - Kombined  (can be a form of a real word, more random)
Y - Yearly
P- Performance
I - Indicative
E - Earnings

So your paraphrase would be: swedishtacosirradiatenicelykombinedyearlyperformanceindicativeearnings

You can also add spaces, symbols and numbers to taste, maybe all e's become *, or perhaps every 3rd "e", and maybe every Fibonacci place is capitalized (1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34th place letters, etc.).

Important thing is something you can remember without having to write it down.

For shits and giggles, I just went page by page through the book on my desk and took the word at the top right of each page:
generalized tissue they do when irritating with single anxious perceived exhaustion

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.
