I walked by my mom's bedroom, the door was open, and out of the corner of my eye i thought i saw Cousin IT from The Addams Family. I jumped about 10 feet into the air, i have never liked Cousin IT.

....your mom was shagging the yeti??

Some people like a hirsute woman.

I always get 'It' mixed up with 'Thing'. TBH I'd have preferred they called the cousin 'Thing' and the hand 'Hand'.

You are a very odd person.

I am odd, yes, but i think this was more from being deprived of sleep than being odd. I'm kind of like one of the Elm Street kids, i go to disturbing lengths to keep myself awake.

Why?

I'm sure it's for a perfectly normal reason, right?

I don't like sleeping, i have terrible terrible nightmares and when i wake up i can't breathe. Plus, i get better at writing if i'm severely sleep deprived, the ideas just start pouring out.
