Let My World Close In
I was this close to seeking asylum in another room at two o'clock this morning - provided that I could have been convinced to actually keep my head outside of my blankets. Or open them, for that matter. Why would I go somewhere else when I have a perfectly good room to myself? Well, let me tell you...
For awhile now I've been convinced that something likes my bathroom. Something that gives off a weird sort of vibe whenever the light gets turned off. I have a habit of (when Lee's not here) sleeping with my entryway light on because I really don't like that feeling - be it just from my nerves or something else. Last night I turned on Sydney White, turned the lights off and hopped into bed. I fell asleep at about a quarter or twenty after one, when the movie was hitting it's second chapter. I woke up at two because there was a noise coming from my desk. Grrrrrrr, buuuuuzzzzzzzz said the noise. 'What the hell?' said I. Get up, half asleep, and open the drawer to find that an object which has to be twisted to be activated is very much twisted and on. Only... I didn't turn it on, I was asleep for forty minutes. When I climb back into bed, a little unnerved I will admit, my movie is at the end credits when it should be about halfway through. Then the Pikachu doll (who I had turned off, as is my practice after proving it talks without the button) spoke to me. (By the way - it's battery was still turned off). This was the point when I resolutely pulled the covers over my head and refused to open my eyes until it got light outside.
So. Either three things in my room went on the unexplainable fritz at the same time or... something made them do it. I'm kind of curious to find out which it is, like if something will happen tonight if I turn all the lights off again. Or, you know, I'll be a coward and leave the entryway light on. Haven't quite decided yet.
And yet again - Carlson has canceled Public Administration in favor of another online discussion. Seriously, I want to learn something from this three hundred level class! Please? Whatever happened to that awesome project we were told we'd get to do at the beginning of the semester? I was looking forward to working with the Harbor House as my non-profit organization... and I know Sam was looking forward to it too. What's up with that? And no mid-term until after spring break... though that makes sense since we haven't learned anything worth testing over yet.
OPINIONS! I'm on an icon-making kick, mostly because I've just learned how to take screencaps, and I can only make so many hockey, soccer and BtVS icons before I start to get bored with them. I'm working on Sydney White right now - any other suggestions for movies/subjects/etc? Pretty please? Help the girl with a haunted room or something out.
It's snowing again, as well, supposedly with eight more inches to come. Spring break? Pffft, who needs warmth for spring break! We've got feet of snow! =D
