September 8 - Goes bump in the night
Free channel airing Anime all night and I taped it. The first movie was the delightful “Spirited Away”, which I’ve already seen. My top gloop is Kaonashi, aka No-face.
When I was trying to sleep after midnight, my boyfriend was playing WoW, some instance I suppose. He’s a well respected member of his guild and will resume his duties of being the mage officer. Anyway, I got a bit of a shock when he slammed the computer room door really hard and got back in his chair, continuing to play. What was going on? He never did that before! He’s not the violent kind. That instance must be very frustrating.
Then, again, the door slamming! As the computer room is just next from the bedroom, there’s little chance I misunderstood where the sound came from. During the next half hour or so, the door had slammed some twenty times. Didn’t dare go ask him what was going on, as he apparently had gone mental. My ear was pounding with pain from the noise – I do have problems with sudden loud sounds already. The other ear I was pressing against my pillow.
When he stopped playing and tip-toed to our bedroom, sticking his head in just to fetch the cellphone charger, I lashed out: “What you think you’re doing!” and he froze. He said he didn’t mean to wake me. “You assume I manage to sleep when you slam the door like that?” I asked in an ironic voice. He didn’t think he slammed it, just opened and closed the doors very gently. “You banged it! At least twenty times! Full force! It just got worse!” and then we agreed that we didn’t agree.
How can your ear be pounding, and actually heat, due to all the noise, if it’s imagined? There even were the crunching and plopping sounds I get from too loud noise. I swear it was no dream. I heard every little thing he did – taping a re-run, fetching something from the fridge, moving about in the squeaky computer chair. Oh, and banging the door. He said it was probably paranormal, on my frequency. That I’ve been receptive lately. Bah. Humbug.
