Guess Who's Back?

Look at the title. Now look at me. Now back to the title. Now back to me. Sadly, the title is not me, but I wrote it, therefore it is something akin to a child of mine. I'm on a horse. Riding backwards.

Anyways, I'm back home and wishing I were still up in Duluth. Something about waking up, looking to the left, and seeing just an endless expanse of blue beats waking up, looking to the left, and seeing the floating gas ball people claim is my sibling. That and not having to deal with teachers and too many other kids my age. That was almost heavenly.

Now I just want to go home and take a nap. Beyond that, my English teacher mixed up my journal with Dom's (they look similar). I looked in Dom's and saw something along the lines of "Well, 'Nobody,' are you trying to turn your Slender Man obsession into a story? I'd like to see you move on now," but it was taken away before I could read much more. In mine, she'd written "Wow, Dom, you really seem to be learning! Not a single correction this time! Good job! A+" (The scores are actually out of ten, not letters, and it's worth pointing out that my journal entries are pretty much spotless when it comes to corrections.)

I'd like to make sure everyone knows that I don't have a Slender Man 'obsession.' I've only seen the video series, I haven't read any of the blogs. Sure, for a while I was stuck drawing Operator symbols all over and drawing the lanky bastard himself when I got bored, but I'm not obsessed. He's a cool idea, but nothing more than that. I'm not going to get paranoid about something that was created on a forum. I've moved on to bigger and better things; the only abomination that will ever terrify me on any level is a zombie, and it will stay that way.

And for the record, I'm not afraid that collective belief in him will create (or has created) a 'tulpa.' No one I know has that kind of imagination, anyways. (Well, Dom was a little scared by the video series, but seems to be completely over it now. Hasn't complained to me about any lingering paranoia, anyways.)

In conclusion: I'm no 'Slender fan,' not to an extreme anyways. I'm more likely to watch Red vs Blue or another machinima (yeah, I'm a Halo fan; deal with it) than catch up on whatever I've missed on the video series.

But, I digress. If I keep going like this, it just might turn into a Slender Blog anyways. I'll try to get more updates at some point, and possibly even post an excerpt of one of my ongoing projects for your viewing. Gotta have some sort of fanbase established before I head off to a publisher, after all.

Nobody, signing out.

  2. Language, Dom. What's your problem? You were fine with the other Slender Man post.
