le Sigh

Really now? Everything's gone quiet. I've been sleeping nice and well these past few days. What's going on? I hope this lasts, then I can finally rest easy.

Then again... I did have this weird dream yesterday. I didn't put much thought in it, but I do remember some details about it. So here goes.


Mmm... I remember it was...set in WWII. I remember distinctly that, in the dream, I wasn't me. I was in someone else's shoes, like a video game. I was...either British or American, I couldn't tell, but I remember that I was Caucasian in my dream. Hehe, an Asian dreaming that he's white, go figure. x3

I had an M1 Garand with a sniper scope and a Thompson submachine gun. I remember it was set in these...ruins. Bombed out ruins of a town, places on fire. Gunfire, explosions everywhere. Planes flying overhead, people yelling and screaming, bombs going off, people dying, smoke everywhere. It was madness. I can distinctly remember the feel of it all, the smell of burnt flesh, smoke, the sounds of gunfire, the smell of gunpowder. The feel of the gun in my hands.

I remember...watching these two blokes. They were Caucasian too, though I can distinctly remember they spoke a language other than English. I can remember holding up my gun, staring through the scope at them. My perch was up high, on some sort of bombed out ledge. Then I shot at them.

Now, this is where things started getting weird. I don't know whether its the fact I play a lot of shooters or something else, but I remember hitting one of them and watching a chunk of his health bar disappear. He had a health bar. And so did his buddy, the red bar suddenly appearing above his head. The two of them then whirled around and started shooting back! I could feel the thumps of bullets hitting me, and my vision getting really red around the edges.

Sounds like I'm describing a video game right? Like Call of Duty: World at War or something.

Anyways!

I remember firing back for a while, before the ammo in my rifle ran out. I had to abandon the rifle and then abandoning my perch. The Thompson was in my hands, suddenly, as I ran down into the still-burning ruins of the building I was in. I ran outside and caught sight of the two round a corner. With gun in hand, I ran out, spraying them with lead. I could see the red of their health bars going down and down and down until they both ran out. The two of them collapsed, apparently dead. I ran over to their corpses and took their dogtags.

Then I got hit bad. Boom, the gunshot came a split second later. Sniper. Apparently I had taken a hell of a hit, because I remember my vison suddenly growing black as I sank to my knees, then collapsed as blackness engulfed me.



Then I woke up.

True story. I have really weird dreams sometimes.

Bleh

Welp, new entry in Marble Hornets. I didn't expect the hooded guy to reappear again.
Ugh, so bored. I really don't know what to do right now. School is getting boring. Having no games is getting boring. I really don't know what to do right now.

Well, at least I have my music, my sketchbooks, my pencils and such. But only during my free time. Otherwise, its just boredom city. Ugh.

Happy Birthday to Me

I turn 20 today. ADULTHOOD HO

In any case, another weird phenomena that's been going on: my MP3 player's been weirding out on me lately. Sometimes I hear whispers in the quiet bits of my favorite songs, other times I find that my player has songs in it that I don't remember being there.

The phantom songs? All from my own library, so hey, its all good. Maybe Slendy's helping me reorganise my music? If so, thanks, big guy! Least I don't have to turn on my desktop to get new songs now~

Getting Better

The flu in general has eased off now. I'm still sick, down with a cough and general throat infection, but that's going away too.

I'm getting better, hooray~

Anyway, short update is short, nothing much else to say, so ciao!

Oooh I don't feel so good

Got a self-diagnosed fever, along with my dry cough and sore throat.
Things aren't looking too good for me.

Something scares me, though. I looked up the symptoms of tuberculosis, a disease of which I was in contact with last week at the Communicable Disease Center here, or CDC. The general symptoms of it are eeriely similar to the symptoms I have. Fever, chills, cough. I know that I'm making many dead nurses roll around in their graves by self-diagnosing myself like this, but hey. Its good practice for when I'll be a nurse out in the hospitals. This isn't a random guess, its a preliminary diagnosis, which is kinda like a guess, but has some weight behind it.

Another disease I may or may not have is MRSA, or methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aurous. Its a superbug that is immune to most methicillin antibiotics. Commonly found in hospitals anf the CDC, which is where I went last week. Again, same symptoms: fever, general unwell feeling, chills. And I am scared even more.

I really, really don't want to get badly ill so early into school. I'll keep you guys updated.

Another short update

Well, here I am again, in school this time, writing a blog post from my school's library.

I don't know how long my peace is going to last, but I bet its not going to last so soon.

Recently, I managed to contract a sore throat. That went away just this Monday, but got replaced by a scratchy throat and a minor cough.

Now, I don't know whether if I caught this from my brief attachment at the Communicable Diseases Centre or if its from...you know, but I know that if this keeps up for another week, I am either screwed physically or screwed mentally.

All I can say now is that I am scared. Scared that, if its from the CDC, I might have gotten something bad like tubercolosis or something. Scared that, if its NOT from the CDC, my life is gonna get a whole lot worse.

A whole. Lot. Worse.

Regular updates ho!

So I just watched Entry #57 of Marble Hornets yesterday. Seems they're focusing on poor Tim a lot more now. Good ol' video tearing, audio distortion and weird images, ho!

And anyways, I also did a bit of reading into the mythos yesterday. Not just Slendy, but the Fears too. I've started to realise that maybe, just maybe, its not just Slendy that's stalking me.

From what I read on TV Tropes yesterday (FELLOW TROPER HO), one Fear seems to spring to mind: the Nightlanders.

Described as 'the fear of things in the dark', it sorta makes sense that I'd be seeing these things. I used to be morbidly afraid of the dark as a kid. I would never, ever enter a dark area if it weren't lit up like the Fourth of July or without my parents. Nowadays, that's all goood and gone. I just listen to music and relax in the dark, because the darkness is my friend.

No, I'm not a Nightlander. But why would Nightlanders be interested in me? Perhaps, as the article suggests, The Empty City is looking for foods and I'm its next meal. Maybe.

Either that, or there's something more to it than this. I have reason to believe that not all Nightlanders are hostile or antagonistic. There's something about this article that's convincing me that some of these Nightlanders are, or were, real people and that they want to help others to stay away from the Empty City, among other things. Nightlanders = the more neutral beings among the Fears? I'm not one to say, just more empty assumptions.

Maybe the shadows and things I'm seeing out of the corners of my eyes are Nightlanders. Maybe.

Anyways, its high time I skeedaddle for my next class. I'll be back with more updates soon.

SCHOOL HO!

Work

Life's been busy for me. My hospital attachments are still ongoing, though this is my last week. That's why my posts have been so staggered. At least I'm going back to school next week, so that should mean slightly more frequent updates as and when I have things to inform you guys of.

So, short update is short. Been waking up in the middle of the night less times now. The weird visions and shades and such have been increasing in frequency.

I hope its nothing too serious.

I hope.
