To Mute or Not to Mute

So, I caught a really bad cold, which has resulted in me losing my voice. Well, because of this adventure and plenty of free time to myself on my hands (being able to speak up to only a whisper isn't conducive to social interaction), I started to ask myself...

...if I were to physically lose my ability to speak, would I get one of those disgusting talking devices implanted into my throat like those unfortunate smokers, or would I just stay mute?

Well, I decided I would stay mute. I wouldn't bear 1) having that disgusting looking device attatched to my throat, and 2) having that voice it gives you. So, even though not being able to speak would probably be incredibly lonely, I would still do it. And probably learn sign language.

What would you do?

Monstrous Muncher, part II

Well folks, looks like the Nocturnal NOM-er is real. However, I have developed some new theories about it based on recent experiences.

1. It takes on a host body.
2. The host body is unaware of it's existence.

In short, it's essentially like a werewolf--my roommate, somehow, someway, became imbued with a disease or curse that causes him to transform into an Aurum Vescitur without his knowledge, at night, after he falls asleep. Fortunately, it seems that a Monstrous Muncher does not know how to get up and walk, so I am safe in my perch across the room. Also fortunately, I have become accustomed to its noises, so that I may sleep without having to have a tussle with Cramped Couch (I still am sore from the experience).

Anyway, my roommate is actually quite a pleasant fellow. Pretty outdoorsy. Too bad he's a noisy sleeper.

That's really all there is to report for now--I felt the need to do "part II" today, which is the only reason I actually posted. So I probably won't post again until something interesting happens...which may take a while. Life is pretty low-key here.

Anyway, toodles for now!

Nocturnal NOM-er, part I

I think it's important to note that this was originally going to be called "Notorious NOM-er, part I", but I decided that Narcoleptic was more fitting. Finally, I then realized that "Nocturnal" was more fitting--names are tricky these days.

So, I recently started summer school, and since I didn't want to pay lots of extra moneys to get my own room, I have gone with the notorious random roommate selection option! We will note that this has never really worked out in my favor, seeing how the last time I did this I got Nudist and Nose-Hair Guy (who, ironically enough, did not end up having an abundance of nose hairs). Well, this time, as per my luck, I got Nocturnal NOM-er (a.k.a Monstrous Muncher, Phantom Pheeder, or Aurum Vescitur, as well as any of the three names introduced in the first paragraph).

The Nocturnal NOM-er is a very wiley creature--appearing to be a very nice, well-mannered person during the day, it allures it's prey into a false sense of security until night falls, when it appears to go to sleep. However, it isn't really falling asleep so much as preparing for meal! It's true! I heard him! All night! Biting at the air, clashing it's teath in it's attempts to devour small morsels of... air. I was dreadfully afraid it might get up and bite me too (as well as keep me awake all night with it's infernal gnashing!), so I ran and hid to the couch in the living room! I barely escaped with my life!

However, not all injuries were avoided in this encounter: Sinistra Shoulder suffered much, as after we fled from the Phantom Pheeder, we had a tussle with a Cramped Couch.

Current Score: Monstrous Muncher: 1, Me: 0, Cramped Couch: -1. Stay tuned!
Note: scores start at 0, 1 is added for each victory, and 1 is subtracted for each loss. In this case, I have a score of 0 because while I lost and fled from Aurum Vescitur, I successfully defeated Cramped Couch.

By the way, bonus points to you if you know what Aurum Vescitur means!

Something New and Grand

So, Data Mining has long since ended, and I have grown bored with Facebook as a means of posting stories about things that I find funny that occur to me that no one else reads. That being said, there are still things that I find funny that occur to me that no one else really cares much about that I want to post on the internet, so I'm hijacking my own blog! It's almost like stealing from yourself!

This blog will no longer talk about those silly "Protfolio" things (although, I'm not going to get rid of those posts), but will now contain things like "Narcaleptic NOM-er, part I" (oooh, foreshadowing)! So stay tuned!
