Welcome to my world. I read the whole Harry Potter series in a week after Beth convinced me to try the first book. :shifty: I'm always doing that. I can't just put down a good read. It buzzes in my brain like an angry bee until I finish it.

'They' were 2 or many voices. I'm not sure. I thought it was a just bad dream, but it seems that I really fell out of my bed. I could swear someone pulled me out of it. XD I woke up immediately after it and freaked.

Well, if you really did hear voices, and you really did fall out of your bed, maybe you shouldn't have told us about it, because now the voices are going to GET YOU.

Invisible hands are immune to the photons of visible light that come from your household light sources. How much worse will it be for you when the invisible hands grab your ankles, and it's bright enough to see that you can't see what's grabbing you?

You're doomed. The voices, they're gonna get'cha now.

But what else can they do to me (except for pulling me out of the bed) when I will mostly take showers and avoid baths for a while? :D

Oh wait. I have a fishtank near my bed. :eyebrow:
If I don't move those fish into a covered tank today, I'm doomed. D:

No roleplaying game tonight. There's only three players, and one of them can't make it. :(

On the plus side, that means I can continue to inventory my gemstones. I realized that back in 2005 when I last started my inventory, that I stopped half-way through and left a huge box of gemstones utterly univentoried or pictured. I was stunned - I'm usually RIGHT ON TOP of gemstone-related stuff.

So anyhow, I'm having fun re-inventorying the whole hoard. One little, two little, three little gemstones...

I'd be having more fun if I weren't inventorying them for potential sale.

My surgery was a success. I can now no longer spawn anymore children. Though the doctor was amusing... he looked at my chart and said "Uh, you know you only had the vasectomy three weeks ago, right? And it normally takes 6-8 weeks before your pipes are free and clear."

I replied "Yeah, but then you said that it take 15-20 orgasms in order to clear the pipes, and it was whichever came first."

He replied "Well, yes, but most people take 6-8 weeks to hit that number. What'd you do, have sex every day in the last three weeks?"

To which I replied, "My wife was ADAMANT that she was coming off of birth control as soon as frickin possible."

... It's been a fun couple of weeks. :D :D :D

reason number 4,326 as to why I hate my town.

It seems like getting set of guitar strings could be done after 5:30PM. but oh no... EVERY music store has bank hours. Ridiculous.

Ooh, I've been living in this world for quite some time. It can be a major timesink, but on the other hand... who would want to live in a world where books aren't this much fun?

You really do need to accompany Beth and I to one of the annual book sales here in St. Louis - it's one of the world's largest sales, and books are so cheap it's appalling - especially if you wait until Sunday, when they're half price. We regularly pick up 200-300 books for sixty bucks. And I'd say about 3/4 of them end up being good reads.

I survived another night. The spirit didn't show up last night and I hope it's gonna stay calm for a while. XD I don't feel its presence anymore either.

I had the worst nightmare a while ago with something coming from my closet and I was scared to death, I was crying and screaming at it to go away. It was just a dream tho, but I woke up just after that really scared and turned on the lights. :o

finally picked up some new strings today. a new guage split I've never tried before. Also a completely awesome new guitar strap, and a brass capo. So many new toys.

I played for about two hours today and my fingers hurt, and I got a jam session tonight.
