my house is haunted
it really is.
just now our two dogs howled like crazed wolves. i had to turn on the kitchen light and call them to me to appease them. they wouldn't stop until they've each recieved rubs and cooes. the spoiled brats. rotten to the core.
then in the 3:30 a.m. silence i hear someone laughing. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! it annoyed me coz i didn't know where it was coming from. i tried to place where i'd heard such guffaw before, and it came to me - my sister upstairs must have heard the dogs' howls and realized that i, of all people, have elected to appease them. each night when i come home from work, the first thing i tell them as they greet me hopefully is, "no! go away." they look into my face each night hoping for a different reaction, ahaha. but they get none, and bound away to my mother.
the laughing continued. i was getting annoyed, until i realized it was coming through the wall of our house! i didn't realize how thin our walls were, between this house and the apartment building next door. there's only about 4 feet distance between the two buildings. i realized it was one of our neighbors' kids, and he sure was enjoying it.
i cooe to the dogs a bit longer and then turn away to the bathroom to wash my hands. ahahaha! i'm always like that, you never know, with fleas and my allergies. the bathroom's light is off, but who else would be sitting on the throne there?!
my sister, awake for a midnight leak.
i'm hella annoyed!!!! ahahahaha - and she didn't even look up when i went "huh!" ahahaha. boo!!! i'm so annoyed. she just sat there, waiting for her business, hair disheveled, pajamas down and a blank look on her face. i just had a heart attack, my hands are shaking and my mind's spinning, and she remains impassive.
i babble on how i thought the laugh i heard were uttered by our other sister, supposedly asleep upstairs, and then how i think it's our neighbor and then how the dogs started howling, making the laughing person laugh some more. she finishes with the bathroom, and i go in to wash my hands. i babble on, not realizing our mother went out to work tonight.
i'm even more annoyed coz when i finished washing my hands, my sister is nowhere to be found! she sleepwalked back into her room. arg!!! she looked like a ghost in here white pajamas and blank expression, now she's apparated into her room. i must really have been preoccupied coz i didn't even hear the stairs creak when she ascended them.
and then i take my allergy medicine. i just petted the dogs, and i hate itchy, watery eyes. i think of my mother who always thinks our deceased dad is somewhere nearby, freaking me out, and of friends who IM out of the blue at odd hours in my day, and how i need to break my habit of automatically signing on to AIM and YM because it just aggravates me when someone IMs at the wrong time, making me go, "brb!" and sending the wrong signals.
i hate being interrupted by ghosts. but i hafta learn how to live with them! this is one experience that's going to give me high blood pressure.
luckily, i'm not on my own. at least, i hope i'm not. :blush:
