Freakiness!
All right, there are a couple rather freaky stories that I'd kinda like to share with you all. Now, you can doubt the truth of both of them if you like, but let me tell you, they are both as real as the computer you sit in front of right now. They really happened to me. The first of these two took place last nite. It was a weird night all around to tell you the truth, but It started off fine. I changed into my pajamas, went and brushed my teeth, made sure I had everything for class today, turned off the lights and got in bed. This is where it gets weird. A couple minutes after I got into bed, I felt this odd kind of darkness descend upon me. I mean that completely literally, it felt like it came from above. It was like the atmosphere in the room immediately doubled in density. It felt heavy. I felt a large and foreboding presense in my room. Not a physical one, but a spiritual one. I immediately started praying. This has never happened before. I mean, sometimes my senses can fool me, but I felt this evil presense along the entire length of my body. This wasn't any kind of trick on the mind. After about what seemed to be ten minutes of praying (it was probably less) the feeling of weight and pressure began to subside. It was 2AM after all, so with the comfort that I was protected by a higher power, I fell asleep. That wasn't the end of it though. I was jarred out of sleep at who knows what time by the screams of my roommate. The man was screaming at the top of his lungs "NOOO! NOOO! NOOO! AHHHH!!!" I was disconcerted. Immediately I attempted to calm him down. Now our beds are elevated 6 feet off the floor, so getting out of bed to go and wake the man up wasn't really an option. So I started yelling back at him to calm him down. I wasn't yelling because I was angry, I was simply yelling because I was trying to speak over his screams. This went on for about a minute before he calmed down and stopped screaming. I didn't know what to say. I tried to get him to tell me what he was screaming about but he was breathing so hard and he seemed so agitated that I wasn't able to get anything out of him. After a while he calmed down enough to the point where I think he fell back asleep. It wasn't se easy for me though. "Clearly" I thought, "his screaming and my experience earlier are connected." So, I began praying again. I fell asleep as I prayed. That was the last of the incidents for the night. Earlier this afternoon when I met up with my roommate again I asked him what it was that had caused him to scream like that last night. He told me that he woke up to the feeling of suffocation. He felt something similar to what I had felt. He said he felt like something was right on top of him trying to smother him. And, when he looked up he saw something on top of me as well doing the same thing. So, he started screaming. I mean, I can't blame him. It was a weird night. A night from Hell in every sense of the word. Not something I want to relive. So, I don't know how tonight is going to go, but a lot of prayers will be said as I fall asleep.

This isn't the only time I have come in contact with the supernatural. Although, it is the most direct and personal way. The other one is the second of the stories I wanted to share. This incident took place a few years ago while I was working at a large retail store. I was in high school at the time and therefore was only able to work the closing shift. It had been a long night and it was just me and my manager left in the store. I was going along the shelves doing my closing duties; pulling product to the front of the shelves, straightening them, and making sure the labels were facing outward. As I rounded one of the aisles I was rather surprised to see a tall man standing in the middle of the aisle looking at me. He was extremely tall, probably near 7 feet, dressed all in black from head to toe, had no facial hair or hair of any sort that I could see, and was wearing a black fedora. I only saw him for a moment before he was gone. It was rather odd. It didn't really freak me out all that much. I was more in disbelief really. I mean, my eyes play tricks on me all the time. I'll see things out of the corner of my eye that really aren't there. It's due to my extremely visual nature. My eyes try to make sense of everything even if they don't have all the information. I just figured this was another one of those kind of things. So, I just shrugged it off and continued working. What really caused me to freak out about the entire incident was what happened next. My manager came running from the front of the store yelling "You're never gonna believe what I just saw!" What he described is exactly what I had seen. He saw the same man. Suffice it to say, we settled with leaving the store in a little less than perfect shape that evening. We got done and got out as fast as we possibly could after that.

Freaky eh? Heh heh. Yeah, well, hope y'all enjoyed that. Now, to update you on some other less unbelievable stuff that has been going on. My costume has reached a problem point. The dye that I bought to color the outer garments didn't come out to the color on the box. The clothes were supposed to turn an orange color. They came out a reddish color with a hint of orange. The color on the box was a lie. So, I have to bleach them and redo it. Grrr.... That means buying more dye, and some bleach. *sigh* Can't anything just go smoothly? Also, I went and saw UltraViolet tonight. It was all right. It was entertaining but lacking in many places. The story was a little shallow and the CG was below average, in fact it was just bad. The fights were good though and the technology shown in the movie was quite good. Yes, the sci-fi-ness of it was quite astounding. If you just want to be entertained by pretty looks and good fights, you should go see it. Otherwise, don't waste your money. That's about the extent of things at the moment. Oh, that's right! Heh heh. IT'S OSCAR WEEKEND Y'ALL! Everybody make sure to watch them! They're Sunday night on ABC (check your local TV guid for times). If you like, you can go an see what my picks for the Oscar's are this year. Just go down to the bottom of this page and look for a link that says "archives". I have a post in there all about them. Enjoy! Have a great day everybody!!
