Something odd and disconcerting in the air...

[thedarksiren2]

Maybe it's that I am so friggin' tired I can hardly see straight, but upon arriving at home tonight from a sloggy night at Season's grill (both metaphorically and literally...glerr...), I felt a strong sense of ill-at-ease in the air, and looked around more than I ever do as I walked from my car to the front door, making extra noise to get Chloebearmonster to bark because I just didn't feel safe.

It was odd, but seriously, something felt wrong, a very strong sense of wrong wrong wrong. The air is so thick outside, filled with tears from the sky, and yes, that's how it feels...like the sky is crying. It's not mellowdrama because really, I'm not sad about anything. A little angsty perhaps, but I'll save that for later.

The front door was unlocked, which bothered me but I didn't jump to conclusions. CBM barked very loudly, and it was like a breath of fresh air to me. I let her out, both so she could pee and to present to whatever-the-funk it is that I have a dog, and she will protect me.

I didn't even mention that - the other day, I took CBM out while I rummaged through my car for some things. An older man in tattered clothing walked by our yard, starting from about where I was and heading toward W 14th. CBM noticed him, ran over near to me and growled at him, following him down the sidewalk from behind the pseudo-fence. She totally protected me, which was a trip to watch. I praised her for it, and she was ecstatic that she had pleased me so.

So yeah...wraptboy is safe and sound asleep. There are no messages on my machine -- this is sad in some ways, as I just put easily one of *THE* best messages I have ever recorded on my voice mailbox ~8)-- and no truly worrysome e-mails at this point.

I am counting my blessings here, and hope that everyone is OK.

Please feel free to leave a comment and reassure my paranoid arse...

I'm all but nauseated by this feeling.

not that this will put your mind at ease...

but i've had all sorts of ill-at-ease thoughts going through my head recently, and its driving me nuts.

actually...

it's kinda nice to know it's not just me.

Sorry I left the bottom door unlocked. Probably did it when I took the dog out last.

'sall good. Just that the event landed in the moment as it was happening, thus adding to the creepiness of the night.

No biggie tho'...wasn't complaining.~8)

aww.. well, as you know, i myself have been feeling ill-at-ease. All kinds of pent-up stuff floating about.

i would leave you a message, had i your phone #.
My voicemail message is also amusing, but noone calls me. lol.

[thedarksiren.livejournal.com]

honestly, I am HORRID with phone calls, so I don't generally care about getting messages. It was just this particular night that I noticed I had no phone calls. BUT, should you want a laugh, I have a rather crude VM message up at (216) 861-8139. I am honestly kinda excited to listen to my messages right now because I got a phone call from Tri-C a minute ago but didn't feel like answering, so someone from the school may or may not have left a message. LOL

And yes, I know things have been really hard for you lately. I haven't been able to sit and just read LJ for a few days. How is everything going for you? I am still sending out good Dawn Dawn ju-ju to you and your family.

[harukakaze.livejournal.com]

i shall call presently. i just kinda hope you don't answer,cuz that would be weird.

btw, i have a cell phone with a silly message on it.
(440)667-5906

:D

heh...OK, well, I will give you a call in a li'l while to hear yours. Tit-for-tat, after all!

[harukakaze.livejournal.com]

i just called. I couldn't think of anything good to say, so i hung up *bad me*.

but i must say, that was amusing! lol

[thedarksiren.livejournal.com]

HA HA! YAY! I thought it might have been you -- I was actually home and goofing-off.

Hope it got you to laugh a sec.~8)

if you've got nothing else going on, you and jay should come hang out in arabica this evening while i do the yellowbook editing with audrea. we can make asia melt!

the weather's been sinister, no doubt. i'm sure a body will turn up in the river soon.

[thedarksiren.livejournal.com]

I ♥ you, Special-K.~;)

MELLOW-drama ?!

[dub-duppy.livejournal.com]

That's a brilliant typo!

Neologism: CREATED. :)

P.S. Everone gets jumpy from time to time. It means you're awake! :)

HA HA! Thank you, thank you...*looks around suspiciously*

Good point...I sometimes forget that our minds/ eyes/ mind's-eye open/s up without our consciously willing them to do so, and get spooked. 'sall good now tho'...Jawndomay (the name for my and wraptboy's apartment, in case you hadn't figured that one out~;) is super-active right now, probably because of all the changes going on about it. Between him trying to find a new art studio, bindrune moving in (YAY! nothing combining a feisty fire sign with the earth and air...mmm...astrological gumbo! HA HA!), and my travelling to Europe in a few weeks/ packing my life up for the move to Athens OH this August, well, I'd have to say the spirits and sprites are a bit...anxious, to say the least.

i'm always ill-at-ease. even when i'm happy and apparently care-free, there's always something making me feel, well...uneasy.

[thedarksiren.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry to hear that, John.
