"A Movie Script Ending" is a song befitting this restlessness.
May 14, 2010Tried to sleep at the apartment. That thing, that incubus still haunts my bedroom. I swear I could hear him laughing when I couldn’t move my legs again. I slept a grand total of 2 hours and woke up feeling suspiciously ache-y. But maybe I was just tired from yesterday. Still, it never fails to creep me out. It first happened to me about a year ago. I woke up feeling like someone was choking me and I couldn’t move my body except for my head, which I found was off the pillow suspended in the air, like someone yanked my upper body off the bed. And I was just hanging in there for like 15 seconds, my eyes wide open and seeing nothing in the dark.
Ugh, why the hell do these weird things keep happening to me? I don’t even believe in supernatural bullshit. My high school RE teacher, who was someone who supposedly “saw” things, once told me that a really tall lady was following me around, and that this lady would watch me closely while I scribbled away in class. I gave teach one big shrug. I couldn’t see a lady anywhere.
There was one time I actually saw something, though. I was half asleep in my bed when I heard my bedroom door creak open. I thought it was my little brother since I could hear soft footfalls padding on the floor. Then I felt something holding my leg. When I opened my eyes I saw a bald figure about two feet in height trying to climb up my bed, grasping at my leg to hoist itself up. I sat up in alarm and it ran away towards the door, swinging it open as it disappeared. I remember running after it, but oddly enough, my door was locked. I had locked it before I went to bed.
So I just stood there staring at the door wondering if it was all a dream. But why was my leg still tingling where the thing had touched me?
I’m going back to sleep. And I’m opening all the windows to let the sunshine in.

When it’s been happening to you for years you kind of get used to it xp
And do you know that feeling that lingers on your skin after someone touches you? My leg felt just like that. That was probably the creepiest part of the whole incident.
Wow, even with all the nuns in the school, these freaky things still bother you. Maybe that tall lady was a dead nun. Oooohmygod. O_O
Posted by Jamie at May 14, 2010, 2:17 pmFair enough, but I doubt you ever really get used to it, obviously. I have bad sleeping habits as it is without all that. Remind me never to stay over at your place.
And Peacebone? Really? I don’t remember it being that bad.
Posted by Deadringer at May 14, 2010, 3:03 pmBelieve it or not I’ve had that incubus haunting me back when I was still in Singapore. So it’s not really the place it is haunting, it’s me.
I could never understand what “least favourite” really meant. Is it a song I dislike or a song that’s still a favourite but at the bottom of the list? I went with the latter.
Ah. Have you tried sleeping with a bear? Perhaps that would fix…something.
I understand the song now. I was thinking the first way and was severely confused.

Posted by alicelane at May 15, 2010, 10:17 amI meant a real one. I feel like they could kick some incantation ass.
Posted by Deadringer at May 15, 2010, 1:11 pmA real one? Now THAT is scary!
I thought you meant a teddy bear.
I’m freaked out from just reading about it.
