and the scrapes against the window and the branches by the door
Okay, genuinely creeped currently. Had to get up and get it out of my head so hopefully, rest can ensue.
We're downstairs, trying to sleep, and we keep hearing this noise, from upstairs. Specifically, from the room above ours. Specifically, from youngest child's room.
Youngest child--along with middle and eldest son--are away at their bio-father's. They've been gone a few days.
What are we hearing that has me sitting in the cold living room, in the dark of night, lit only by the LCD glow of middle child's laptop screen, because it's less creepy out here?
Nothing. Much. Just...a noise. Repeated randomly.
For all the world it sounds like someone trying to walk quietly, back and forth, upstairs...dragging a broom handle across the floor.
Step...step...draaag...step...step...draaag...step...
In youngest child's room. Which is currently empty.
Damn it, I thought we got rid of the creepy ghost upstairs!
In other news, the brokenbox is now, at long last, really broken. We're having an intermittent C1 memory fault. Thing is, I'm sort of waiting for pauldrake to feel better so he can track down memory, and I can see if it's any of my memory pairs that are specifically bad, or a socket gone off. (With the brokenbox, it could be anything.) But he hasn't been feeling well, nor has crymsin_lilly, and while I entirely understand, the brain is eating itself at present.
But we endure. I have catdancer's comp to use on occasion, and the middle child's laptop in the living room.
Which is currently missing the D key. You know how often I need a D??
But hey. We adapt. We overcome. We survive.
Fragrance USB drive. Huh. Keen. "why do they feel the need to make everything into a flash drive" pauldrake asked, and my answer? BECAUSE THEY MUST. BECAUSE EVERYTHING MUST BE A FLASH DRIVE. NOW.
Phone books. Pets. Spiny armadillows. Couches. EVERYTHING. BRING IT.
*Ahem*, sorry, got carried away...
He also seemed rather amazed that a group of Japanese citizens would take the time to build a full-scale Gundam. Why not? After all, people in Italy knitted a giant pink bunny.
People are weird that way.
Oooh. Skull windchimes. OOOOOH.
What is...the...point...of the inflatable ass??
Nearly functional K-9! OOOOH!
You never forget your first Doctor. It's true. But sometimes you can like the new guys, too.
What I love best about this soap: what's your cereal name?
To determine your cereal name, take the first letter of your first name and find it on list 1. Match the first letter of your last name with List 2 and the Last letter of your Last name with List 3. If your name was John Smith, your cereal name would be: Super Magic Pops.
Here are the lists! Good Luck!
I guess, if you have a Z starting or ending your last name, go with Y, or just pick a letter you like.
I'm Super Atomic Flakes!
But what, no Horkin' Fiber Chunks? I'm disappointed...
Okay. Back to the bedroom and sleeping, because tomorrow, we get ID.
Back to the warm comforters and the soft pillows.
And the scraaaaape from upstairs.
