I don't know if you've been keeping up on my spooky apartment, but if you want some background, you can find it here and here. I've discussed this place at length with my friend Crystal (she didn't get that pseudonym for nothing!) and the last time she was here, she suggested I get the placed "cleaned". I don't exactly know what that means, but it probably involves priests, black robes and maybe incense. It sounds dramatic and scary!
Anyway, Crystal and I talk a lot about this sort of thing. I don't really believe in any of it, but there is a part of me that WANTS TO BELIEVE. Plus, she's a fun girl and I like her a whole lot. So you see, right there are two very good reasons why I encourage this sort of exchange between us. The last time we spoke, we talked of coincidences and I told her I'd "follow the signs" to wherever they lead me.
Well! Guess what just happened!
I was in the computer room, typing away, and Hula was on the computer in the dining room, playing Age of Empires II. Suddenly, I heard a lot of noise that didn't particularly sound like Age of Empires II coming from out there. Moments later, I heard Hula saying, "Could you turn it down please?"
Now I was the spare room with NOTHING on! No radio, no TV, no MP3's blaring through my computer. Nothing! I went out there and saw that the TV in the bedroom was on, so I asked Hula, "What did you turn it on for?" He said, "I didn't."
!!!!!
I turned if off and asked him, "Don't you think it's weird the TV just went on for no reason!?" He was still playing his stupid game! He didn't even think twice about it! Not even looking up, he said, "No."
I was more than a little freaked out. I told him that I'm telling Crystal about this! I told him that Crystal will care if the TV went on for no reason! He replied, "Go back in there, Pinch. The ghosts are trying to tell you something. Hurry and turn the TV back on. The aliens are messaging you!" Thinking about what I mentioned to Crystal earlier, about following the signs, I did just that.
Note that I mentioned NOTHING to Hula about following signs, but he said that anyway. Strange, huh? I figured that must be a sign in itself!
So I went to the bedroom and turned the TV back on. I was very excited about what my sign would be! Would it be good? Would it be bad? Maybe it would be an important one that would change my life forever! Hoo boy! I could hardly wait! I turned on the TV with the anticipation and eagerness that only someone who is going to get a special personal sign from The Great Beyond can and…
A Taco Bell commercial. What the fuck kind of sign is that? All it did was make me want a Chalupa.
