great googly moogly
Me and Jess had a most excellent adventure last night.


So yesterday the power went out. We had a few hours of nothingness before we all went to my dad's last school board meeting as the president (he wasn't voted back in and this was his 10th year). Jess's family is friends with mine, etc. etc.

After that she decided to come back to my house to spend the night. The power was still out so we played ouija board by candlelight for a while, then everyone else went to bed. There was a light in the living room because the generator was running, but that was it. We figured that we'd wait for the power to come back on before we went upstairs to my room to sleep.

My room is called the portal to hell, so obviously you don't want to be up there in the dark if you don't absolutely have to be.

We sat around and talked for a while, mostly about our relationship woes and for some reason sex toys, until around 2:30am when we gave up and went upstairs.

My room smelled very strongly of a particular man, and we were both freaked out because I don't have that fragrance or anything like it. Then there were the unexplainable noises, and then I kept seeing something behind her in the shadows, which scared her when she saw how I was getting nervous. I assumed it was Anjou at first, but then we realized it was definitely someone else, and sometimes you can just sense that something's going wrong. We've both been scratched up by not so pleasant things (she had claw marks on her feet, someone scratched "hi" into my shoulder) so we were not taking chances.

We gave up being brave and decided that we could not stay in that room, and took her mattress and all our stuff down the stairs. We set it all up in the kitchen, since there was some light from the generator but not the intense light of the living room (my sister was sleeping in there and wanted the light on).

We were putting the sheets on when I somehow destroyed my thumbnail. It ripped up on the sides, twisted, tore halfway down the nailbed on one side, and then the corners impaled themselves in my skin. I was bleeding all over the place and had to pull the nail out and it was overall very unpleasant.

Right after I start freaking out over it, the electric comes back on. Past 3am.

In defeat, we took everything back upstairs and slept there.
