Erin posts stuff because someone said so: Day 5
I have nothing to post about for the next two days! Leave me a topic/question here!
icecoldrain asked One night, you hear loud banging noises coming from the living room. You rush in to see what is causing the racket when you notice a gaping hole in the roof and a large mysterious glittering rock hovering above the couch. Sensing your presence, the rock bangs on the ground twice before slowly gravitating in your direction. You try to turn away, but a silvery fog that beckons you to come closer fills the room. What is this rock and do you approach it?
Okay, story time.
This was when I was a teenager, like 16-ish. So not a young teen. Someone on their way to having a half-sensible head on their shoulders, anyway. I might have even been a little older, I don't remember clearly but I SHOULD have been old enough to handle this.
It was in the summer or some sort of break where I was home alone. It was the middle of the day, it was nice out and nothing was out of the ordinary.
The toilet started making noises. Not regular gurgling noises. Like, THERE'S A MOTHERFUCKING MONSTER IN THE TOILET AND IT'S GONNA FUCKING EAT ME noises.
I called my mom at work and was like--there's something wrong with the toilet, what do I do? And my mom is one of those people that no matter what you say to her the response is usually, "what?" and you have to re-explain whatever it is. So as I was trying to tell her what was wrong with the toilet she, I'm sure, was thinking, "what the fuck is wrong with my daughter, she's such a weirdo?"
Mom tells me to simply flush the toilet and maybe that will correct the problem.
Thing is, by this point I'm SO worked up and SO afraid of the toilet I won't go near it. I was seriously, legit afraid it would blow up at me if I tried to flush it. I was so hysterical that my mother had to leave work in the middle of the day, come across town (and when I say that it's not like it was a big deal. My town is 700 people and I could see her office from my house across the river), and flush the toilet herself.
Turns out there was a crew working on the pipes somewhere on the road and it was causing some air or some shit, I don't even remember now. All I know is that I was SUCH A FUCKING CHICKEN SHIT about the noises coming from the toilet that I just about literally shit myself.
So, if this story leads me to think anything about the posited question I would have to say that no, I would not approach it and would likely start crying and immediately think I was going to be abducted. Which would open a while other can of worms for me because I don't like space and don't want to go there so alien abduction is butt-stuff fears (if conspiracy theory lore is anything to go by), having a loss of control, and space.
And I would bet that's what the rock is--something alien. I bet it would be from the result of some alien kid getting into dad's things and playing with something they shouldn't, blasting off an inter-planetary transport pod and sending, like, their pet fog to earth so then the whole family has to come get it. And they end up meeting me and I get freaked out and then they have to ABDUCT me cause that's the thing aliens do normally and they have to make sure their space council doesn't get suspicious of any earth-bound travel.
In other news I watched all of Outlander up to the new episode from yesterday/today (airs today in Canada). I have it recording right now but I haven't decided if I'm going to wait to collect the remaining episodes and watch them at once or do them one at a time. I wasn't going to watch it because the storyline didn't interest me in the least but the channel that airs it up here marathoned them all last weekend so I recorded them and was pretty quickly sucked in.
I guess I can trade one show for another because I'm not keeping up with Salem now that the new season has started. First season was NOT what I was expecting and I was pretty disappointed by the end. Tradesies!
