Why Do I Do This To Myself
May. 6th, 2011 02:20 amAn Abridged Timeline of Tonight:
6.00: Freshman Guy comes by to pick up his book bag, which he left here last night when we were hanging out.
10.00: I come back from work to a somewhat urgent email from Freshman Guy saying that he can't find his phone. Cursory examination reveals it on my couch. Yeeeah, this kind of thing happens a lot. Last time he left his phone here, we spent three days playing facebook tag before I could get it back to him.
10.30: Freshman Guy comes by to pick up his phone. Since it's Thursday night and neither of us have anything better to do, we end up hanging out again.
11.00: I try to explain my current short story project to him and realize that he has never heard of the Slender Man. This is clearly unacceptable. So I tell him we'll watch the first episode of Marble Hornets, just so he understands the idea behind this story I'm working on.
11.00-2: MARBLE HORNETS. And totheark. I should have known better than to think we could watch just one episode. I at least had the good sense not to turn off the lights, although it was a near thing.
2.00: Freshman Guy is too scared to walk home alone, especially since he forgot his key card (see, I told you this was a thing) and would have to wait around the building for someone to let him in. Apparently I'm the butch in this relationship (okay, I already knew that), because I offered to escort him back to his dorm. Realized too late that this would mean walking back home by myself, in the dark and completely defenseless if the Slender Man came after me.
FOR THE RECORD, EAST CAMPUS AT 2 AM IS REALLY FUCKING CREEPY. It's all big trees and ominous creaky bicycle noises and really very suspicious shadows. And it's not as if I was reading SCP Foundation articles all day before watching Marble Hornets, oh no, I would never be that daft.
*whimpers*
