Stuffity stuff stuff
Since LJ might be all fucked up tomorrow because of the server move, I'm going to say it tonight: Happy Birthday senor_coconut_1!
I had a SCARY goddamn dream the other night. The major thing was that I was trapped in some sort of horror movie about a monster who looked like an old man, kind of like the guy from the Poltergeist movies. There were a bunch of people in the movie with me, all people I didn't recognize. The monster dude kept knocking on the door and running away, and when you opened the door and went outside, you could see his shadow on the wall ahead of you. When you tried to catch him, the shadow would always be ahead of you although it was impossible for him to move that fast, like he was just around the next corner. Later, I learned the name of the movie I was trapped in (O_o?) because it was on tv: (And get this title) Aaaagh! Acid! Don't Drink the Acid! Carshack. Some guy in an armchair who was watching the movie goes, "They gave it that name because it's similar to the name of a popular movie - Caddyshack." So the Acid Carshack movie must've been made in the 1980's. XD
Anyway, the last "scene" I was in before I woke up was the really scary one. I was in bed with someone else and we were all huddled together, trying to keep each other safe from the axe murderer. (No boom-chicka-womp-wow.) I felt an arm going around my neck, but the fingers were coming from the left. If my bedmate was putting their arm around me, the fingers would be coming from the right. :O So I look to my left and see the old monster guy's grey hair. I reached over and tried to grab his hair or something just to defend myself and I touched teeth. O_O That was really spooky, looking for something to grab on a killer and finding teeth. I moved my hand up and pulled his hair, which got no reaction. I tried elbowing my bedmate to get them to wake up. But I think we were meant to be the next victims of the Acid Carshack Old Man who Resembles the Poltergeist Dude Killer. Next thing I know, he's leaning over the bed where I can see him, only he's got a pillowcase tied over his head, and he's doing that thing where horror movie killers loom over their victims before they plunge the axe in their face. (And how did I feel his hair when he had a pillowcase over his head?) Only the pillowcase is all twisted, and there's no way someone's head could fit in this small, twisted space. It was freaking scary looking! And I started to scream. And I WOKE UP SCREAMING. And I just about never do that.
Now, granted, I wasn't going, "GAAAAAH! GAAAAAAAH!" In the dream, I was screaming bloody murder, but in real life, I was screaming with my mouth closed. So it sounded like, "MMMMM. MMMMM. MMMMM." And it woke me up. Anytime I move, talk, or cry in my sleep, it wakes me up before anything major happens. Which is good for me, but not as entertaining for anyone who may be sleeping with/near me. (As a person who grew up with a sister who talked and walked in her sleep, trust me, it can be entertaining. I do wonder if she still does that, and if her husband has been entertained by it yet.)
I would really like to use this in a story somehow. I'm thinking maybe a scarecrow, ghost, or a mutant with a really misshapen head. Muhahahaha.
I was mentioned on the news! I'm famous! They finally announced that Grey Dawg was closing the Dallas call center on the news tonight. They said that GH was laying off "83 people" January 9th. I'm one of those 83 people! They mentioned me on the news! Woohoo! :D They also said that GH was doing this because the "call volume was way down." That's what happens when you OUTSOURCE ALL THE CALLS TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES. :P
And now, drumroll please... my new "Miracles" fanfic!

Author: sailorhathor
Fandom: Miracles
Rating: PG-13, Gen
Word Count: 12,625
Summary: Alva realizes it's time to tell Paul the devastating secret he's been keeping. But will he have the chance before an entity wishing its freedom takes what he holds most dear from him?
Warning: Descriptions of injuries that may be too much for those who are easily grossed out (I tried to keep it to a minimum, though). The last scene contains brief, nonexplicit dubious sexual consent between OMC/OFC.
Beta: Thanks to Harshini for the beta and the great feedback!
Author's Notes: The first person I ever saw present the idea in this story (the secret Alva has been keeping) was my friend, deejay. Thanks to her for letting me play with it.

Because I am cleaning up problems created by the time jump when I started writing the SPN/Miracles stories, I also made small changes to "We Were the Dead" and "You Can't Help Who You Are." The scene where Paul calls Mrs. Murtaugh was moved to WWTD and that scene in YCHWYA was replaced with a conversation about a chupacabra case.
And finally, before I overload on LJ cuts, no LJ cut for this:
Updates to "She Just Wanted to be Heard" - Added profiles for Cheyenne Bloodworth, Rowan Bloodworth, Jasmine Fuller, Summer Layton, Sarah Layton, Levi Layton, Colin Owens, Richard Morgan, Rachel Keller, and Pointy-kun.
