A few minutes ago.

I got up out of my bed and sat up for a few minutes, and felt that, as dark as my room is, it's getting to be really really pitch black and I needed to turn on the lights for a few minutes. So I staggered over to the light switch, kind of hazily, and switched it on. The lights almost flickered and remained off. It got darker. I stood there for a few seconds, my heart pounding, and checked if the switch is up.

It was up. I flicked it down and then back up. The lights remained off. I got this quiet kind of noise in my head and it got pitch black in my eyes for a second, like it does sometimes when it's really dark. I went over to the window and pulled the rope - whatever it's called - that raises the shades. It was longer than I thought, and the shades slowly went up. My head began to hum and spin a little, and I pulled the rope harder, walking slightly away from the window in this odd spiral. The shades opened, but the light was somehow opaque and chalky and didn't illuminate anything. The rope got longer.

My head spun more, I tripped over something on the floor, fell, and kicked a large german shepherd that was standing behind me with its mouth open.

"Oh thank God," I thought, "this makes so much more sense now." and woke up.

Then I lay around for a while, got up, turned on the lights - thankfully, they worked - and god knows why, wrote all this. For some reason I'm not tired anymore, and sitting here is kind of boring.
I think I'll go out for a bit.
Or have some of that weird tea Meiling gave me.
