Don't get me started - the list is endless. I've always encountered strange experiences. And it's not just that I'm often up late, alone and in the dark, sleep deprived! Although still healthily sceptical, the mounting evidence over years at different times and places has swayed me... I'm more scared of people than ghosts though.
Go on - tell us!
Ooh! It was only a matter of time before we could resist no more I think that the nasty, ignorant - nay, STUPID - girls are showing themselves up. Hopefully they'll get what's coming to them.
However... Shilpa is being a bit of a victim. She could probably help herself more than she is doing (if she would only leave the kitchen)!
Not that I've been watching.
Hi Piglet - you must be completely 'at peace' to sleep so soundly. I, on the other hand, frighten myself when it's dark: little noises could be someone creeping up... the curtains MUST be drawn. And remember to pee before you go to bed because the devil might grab your ankle as you slip it out from under the duvet and go to set it on the floor.
Do you think counselling would help?! *LOL* at how insane I sound! Actually, it's something I'm used to now.
The clue's in my username! I had a baby during the summer holidays after my first year at uni (as an undergrad many moons ago...) and got into the habit of working through the night. It stuck! Over the last decade I've had all my best ideas and been most productive when the world around me is fast asleep - it's so peaceful, quiet. Some people get bleary and stop making sense with only a little sleep deprivation, but I become more alert as the night goes on - I literally have to set myself a deadline/bedtime, then (eventually) drift away to the sound of talk radio (others' conversation distracts me from my own thoughts/concerns).
Googled 'patooba' - appears to be American slang for big back-side! I'm sure yours isn't!
Piglet speaks a lot of sense, and as for Tricky's 'light relief' ... it's true - it can get lonely and frustrating (especially at this time of night) and reading a variety of intelligent - and sometimes even witty - perspectives on life, the universe and everything is a welcome tonic.
