Logs!

So it's going preeeetty well. A few annoying things, no biggie.


Well, I went to Marie's house Monday after school, like I promised. Since school lets out for me about two, and it's near her house, I just walked there. The situation was that I would walk, and her cousin would drive me home when she got home at about seven. My mom's okay with me missing dinner at home for about a month, 'cause the money is great and everything. So I went over on Monday afternoon with my crapload of homework to do there, because Marie's a total sweetie and she could preoccupy herself with drawing or something while I did some homework.

Anyway, I went over. Did I mention that her house- well, more mansion, jesus this house was huge- was in the middle of a huge forest? The walk was nice and stuff, but the woods were...I dunno. Off somehow? It's probably just my paranoia from A) lack of sleep B) That warning notice that my school sent around about wild dogs in the area and to be careful and stuff and C) It was really dark out for two in the afternoon because of the trees and a lot of clouds.
So I totally flipped my shit and ran about half a mile carrying three textbooks and all my school stuff, haha...

So I arrived at the house and used the spare key to let myself in. Her cousin- Marcelle- leaves at about one fifty, trusting the fact that I'll be there in about ten minutes, plus the whole isolated in the woods with no one for miles even knowing it exists. I mean, this thing is totally isolated; I thought that it was all just woods, I would never of guessed there was a house in that mess of trees.

Well, the driveway was about a mile and a half long, and I used the spare key...I'm repeating myself again, ugh.
Anyway, I let myself in and Marie was drawing in the den, which took me a fair amount of time to find, because, like I said, huge house. I may draw a floor plan for reference for myself just so I don't get lost.
Well, we hung out in the den for a while, ate in the kitchen- I made pizza bagels- and I read some stories to her.

For all the richness this family has, they don't have TV or electronics of any kind; All they have are their work laptops, which are supplied by their job anyway. They're some kind of neo-hippy or something, according to Marcelle. Okay then.

So she drove me home at seven, and I went to bed at nine after some reading and music and a shower. I fell asleep quickly, surprisingly, 'cause I forgot to take my sleeping pills, but jesus CHRIST, I've never had a weirder dream.
I was in Marie's house, and I was running from room to room shouting for her, totally lost. I think there was some kind of animal chasing me, maybe a wolf? But I found Marie dead in the foyer, tied to one of the staircase banisters. I ran out the front door and into the woods, down the driveway, as fast as I could, I could hear the animal behind me and-
Everything blacked out and I heard static? Like, television static. It was weird.
Then I woke up, found that it was two in the morning, and couldn't fall back asleep. Then I took a pill and almost overslept the alarm.

Anyway, that dream kind of ruined most of my day, so going to Marie's was a bit of a relief. It was sunny, so that was nice. Felt weird going up the driveway again, pinned it on lack of sleep. No big deal, right?
So the whole thing went great again, I went home.

I took my medicine last night and went to bed later than normal, nearly eleven. I had the same sort of dream- running, dead Marie, woods, animal, static noise- and I "woke up" again, only slower and more groggily. I was half awake and realized...someone was under my bed? I could hear them rifling through something.
So I slowly reached over to my bedside table, grabbed my lamp, and swung it down on them with all my might.

Then I woke up. Like, actually woke up. No creature, lamp was where it was supposed to be.
I checked under my bed just in case, everything was there...mostly old clothes packed in plastic containers, and my drawing box of all the pictures was still there, too.

I'm not too worried about this whole thing. I get bad dreams a lot. Insomniaaaaa! *shakefist*

Anyway, it was only about midnight, so I went back to bed and had a pretty good night's sleep.

Today went much the same as the last two days. Marie's not really the "ADORABLE FUNNY" type, but she's sweet. I don't really have any stories, though. :(
Well, I say the same...I didn't feel apprehension going up her driveway like the past two days, so I guess it was just sleep. That's nice.

Anyway, tomorrow I'll have her draw a picture for me. I'll scan it for you guys, she does the most adorable kid stuff, hehe~
In fact, maybe I'll put up some of the other pictures, too! :D

We'll see!!



So this is going pretty great!
