Nightmare House 2 (Contains Spoilers)

Okay so I've always been a wimp when it comes to horror games, movies, books, etc and try to avoid them as much as possible. A little while ago boyfriend decided to play Nightmare House 2 and I decided to tease him for screaming and freaking out. Little did I know that would end in some pretty scary payback. For those of you who don't know, Nightmare House is a mod for Half life 2 and pretty damn scary if you ask me. Sometimes it's better to keep your mouth closed. That's a pretty important message I learned. While I was watching boyfriend play it I thought "This is kind of creepy...not all that terrifying just kinda creepy." and lightheartedly teased him.  His idea of payback was to make me try the game myself.  I put on my almighty brave warrior face and prepared to play something I decided would have no effect on me....I was wrong. Naturally, I lasted about a half hour before I was begging him to let me stop playing. I didn't even make through chapt

Summer! Babysitting! Being Normal! Birthday! DDR!

I'm having a bit of a normal person moment and I'm not liking it to be honest.

Thank goodness she had a friend over.  As the week progressed, I found myself having fun with her. We built a fort, went to the park, and spent an entire day watching t.v. Ten hour babysitting shifts

All Nighters = Bad Idea

So last night I couldn't sleep and decided to just give up and stay up all night. It actually started off pretty fun, it was quiet and relaxing to just sit in the early morning sun and watch tv. However, it slowly grew tiring...literally. Wow...lame joke. At around 9am I decided to give up my all night adventure and go back to bed. Unlucky for me, it was like a million and one degrees in my room and the fan was doing nothing to fix that. So I ventured again to the living room and watched television until I hit my second wind and was awake enough to actually function. By 11 I decided that it was no longer relaxing and more lonely so I woke up the boyfriend and made him stay up with me. I learned somethings today. 1. I go from emotional extremes without at least 5 hours of sleep. I get either really mad or really happy. For example, boyfriend would make a simple lame joke and I'd laugh for five minutes. And when it came time for dinner I was extremely angry and yelled at bo
