Jan. 2nd, 2009 08:06 amHey you know what's a great idea your first night in a strange bed?
Reading IT by flashlight right before you go to sleep.
( Everyone who's surprised I had a nightmare, raise your hand. )
And then I woke up.
Written out like this, it doesn't seem like as much of a nightmare. I mean, dude, though I say so myself, I come across fairly badass. But God it was scary. When I woke up, I lay there for a long time, scared to close my eyes and imagining awful scenarios where I would turn my head and find Pennywise crouched next to the couch I'm sleeping on, or perched on my parents' bed, or . . .
I have an annoyingly vivid imagination.
. . . But man. I stood up to It.
(I'm going to thank Bev for that; the last section I read before going to sleep was Beverly Rogan Takes a Whuppin. If she could stand up to Tom, I guess -- and with me knowing her backstory -- I knew I could stand up to a monster.
Also, oh Beverly. *hugs her*)
So yeah I'm in Seattle, and the apartment we're in has no wireless, but this is Seattle, land of a thousand coffee shops, so I'll be well-supplied during the day.
