Why a duck? No clue.

So I've sleepwalked/talked all my life. My parents often will bring up the time when as a kid I overdosed on Scooby Doo and ran through the house screaming and flipping on all the lights. Usually people grow out of it, but unfortunately it stuck with me. But I can remember what I'm doing most of the time...or maybe I don't remember. Who knows what all I do at night? Hmm.

Anyway, last night I fell asleep on the couch in my nightshirt, which is my standard M.O. There's something soothing to me about a TV and I'll often fall asleep to Futurama or MST3K DVDs. Anyway, for some reason I "woke up" at midnight and I *knew* there was a duck on my patio. And the duck was IN DANGER. So I ran (yes ran) to my bedroom and shoved on some jeans, then ran back out to the living room and threw open the front door. Time was very fuzzy, so I have no idea just how long I stared at my empty patio for it to register that there was no duck, much less one in danger.

By the time I closed the door, I was fully awake and very glad of two things: 1) my apartment is on the other side of the building from the big parking lot and 2) my subconscious is modest.

Dude, when I had serious night fevers a few years ago, I used to do stuff like this, except I'd try really hard to both involve other people in my hallucinations and convince them I wasn't sleeping.

But yay, ducks! And yay... clothing!

People in my family have the habit of saying "why a duck?" at random moments, such that it has become inherently funny. It must be from Monty Python or something. *shrugs helplessly*

(p.s. had there been a real duck? I'm glad you are there to rescue it. :) )

How funny!

I rock at saving imaginary animals!

Your subconscious is very modest. Mine tends to be incredibly wacked out. I've accused my brother of shoplifting in my sleep, been found walking round my room looked for a lost polo mint & very recently screamed in my sleep

BTW, how can you overdose on Scooby Doo? *confused*

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2005-08-15 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Bwahahahahaha!

And Scooby Doo - when I was a kid, I got scared pretty easily. Scooby Doo freaked me out (it was all the ghosts) and so I was banned from watching it. However, I'd sneak in and watch Scooby Doo when I could.

I actually cackled when I read this. OMFG. So funny.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

It's the weirdest thing. I'm absolutely certain of things when I'm in that state. "There is a gnome in my shower. Okay."

i'm not sure if i should feel sorry for you or be jealous. at least your nights are more exciting then mine! ... well, i guess i'll go with: sleepwalking sucks, but your way definitely gives it an edge!

Well, it is interesting, but most nights I don't get very good sleep. I'm tired a lot.

Who needs a stinking cape if you got jeans?

Okay, first, the icon is directed towards you.

Second, you get the living room during WC. And Jojo and I are locking the bedroom door. *shudders*

You'll find me at 3:30 a.m. sitting at the foot of your bed. "Hiya. Did you know there are hamsters in the TV?" But at least I'll be wearing pants.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

You know, elis claims I talk in my sleep. I have no memory of this. I'm certain I've never tried to rescue ducks, though.

HA! Well, fortunately neither of us did anything in December. We could have had a whole conversation and not know it!

Yay, the ducks of the world are safe with you!!! :)

I applaud your being able to put on jeans while asleep, though. Very nice.

Heh heh. Yeah, who knew I had that ability?

[identity profile] lytarules.livejournal.com 2005-08-15 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll bet it was the fault of this duck.

The devil duck stalks you at night!!!!!
