I crossed the open yard and scaled the face of the house in half a second. Dangling from the eave above the window by one hand, I looked through the glass, and my breath stopped.
It was her room. I could see her in the one small bed, her covers on the floor and her sheets twisted around her legs. As I watched, she twitched restlessly and threw one arm over her head. She did not sleep soundly, at least not this night. Did she sense the danger near her?

I was repulsed by myself as I watched her toss again. How was I any better than some sick peeping tom? I wasn't any better. I was much, much worse.

I tried the window, and it was not locked, though it stuck due to long disuse. I slid it slowly aside, cringing at each faint groan of the metal frame. I would have to find some oil for next time...

hahaha

oh man

    He's pretty strong if he can hang from the eaves like that and still open a window silently.

    So, I had a dose of Nyquil last night and I started writing a book in my head during all of my weird, hallucinatory dreams. It became a bestseller for it's literary quality and social commentary; I ended up touring the globe and living the dream. The only thing I can remember of the text from the book is a reference to pegging and it's impact on the new sexual revolution.

    I spend too much time talking to you people.

    Donnie Darko was a good movie. It is one of those things that a fan base can ruin if you listen to them too much.

    But I hated how a majority of the way to understand the story is outside the movie in a separate larger spanning story. That is bullshit.

    i saw part of that with my friend a few months ago and it was damn good

    i didn't see any jennifer connelly parts, which is probably for the best, since it's impolite to start beating off in front of friends
