Hey guys!
I want to start this Friday off by thanking you guys for reading my blog. I enjoy reading your comments, even though I've been really horrible about replying and I'm sorry for that. I'm going to try to work on commenting on the comments.
So, I'd like to jump in and ask you guys for your advice.
Are men hard to shop for?
My boyfriend's birthday is coming up next month and I have no clue what to get him. Of course, when I asked him what he wants, he asks for world peace. A couple of days later, he asked for pajama pants.
What do you get for your significant other or a male friend?
I find it extremely difficult to shop for someone, often copping out and buying them a gift card to their favorite store or Starbucks or something. He asked for pajama pants, but I don't think that's a very "birthdayish" gift from a girlfriend. I feel like it's a gift that his grandma would give him.
Last year, I got him a gift card to a sports shop so he could put it towards a tennis racket. It's a running joke that I own 1/4 of the tennis racket right now and when we're married I'll own half.
Sorry about all of the rambling. I'm experimenting with sleep patterns. I heard somewhere that if a person stays up for 3 days straight that they start to hallucinate (which I think would be pretty cool to experience, psychologically). The longest I've gone so far is 26/27 hours straight. My body betrayed me and I fell asleep watching House.
Sorry, I'm getting sidetracked. I should rap this up before I fall asleep. So, please post any comments/responses/chitchat you have and I'll respond in the afternoon.
Happy Friday, guys. =]

Hey we should switch I would do almost anything to sleep normally! I'm 17 now and I've had a sleeping disorder for nearly 4 years, which leaves me constantly exhausted and sleep deprived. I hallucinate quite a lot (usually during the night, they're hypogogic hallucinations, so I mostly get them when I'm falling asleep or waking up) and you were right, psychologically interesting. I see and talk to spirits regularly etc. and I've had a couple of hallucinations where I was killed (in one i had my throat slit - terrifying to say the least) and now I believe in ghosts etc. as that's what happened to me after I died in the hallucination. (sorry, no heaven!)
you are right, it is hard to shop for guys, but if you know the person that may make it a little easier. what is you boyfriend into, video games? sports? Or maybe you could find a great perfume, Calvin Klein smell awesome. It also depends a lot on you budget. Some stores like Ross and Marshall's have great name brand men watches and perfumes for a lot less than what you would have to pay at the mall. Or maybe you con make a special dinner for the two of you. You don't have to be a great cook, and some grocery store have food already cook that you can buy. Hope this helps and good luck!
Sophie- That's crazy (and from an outsider's perspective kinda cool)! If I could share my normal sleep pattern with you, I definitely would! I can admit that, sometimes, I take it for granted.
Sometimes, I would hallucinate (at least, I think it's a hallucination)where I'm kicking and gasping for breath and fighting the air, feeling like something was trying to kill me. It only happened twice, but it's still kind of freaky. I definitely believe in ghosts and spirits. (When you speak with them, do they respond?)
This is really interesting for me to hear. :)
Anonymous- That is a GREAT idea! A special dinner would be perfect and the pre-made food is genius! I have no idea how to cook and I'm not foolish enough to start imitating Food Network Stars and try to whip up a delicious meal in 30 minutes.
I'm kind of leaning towards getting him an nano iPod. He has an MP3 player that doesn't have a great battery life. I am really straying away from getting him video games as he spends WAY to much time playing them in the first place.
Thank you for your help! It's going to be a blast planning this! :)
Yes, most of the spirits in my hallucinations talk back to me. I have several different ones that I see.
Almost 2 years ago, I started having a little boy come into my room in the night while I would be asleep. He would tuck me up and just watch me sleeping because he didn't want to be alone. He looked like the boy in the grudge (only his face was really white, not just makeup). After a few times I asked him to leave me alone as he was scaring me. He got REALLY angry. He went and got a friend of his, a girl who was really really evil, and much more powerful than him (as far as I know he had no powers other than being able to walk through windows/walls), she could control your movements / stop you moving at all, and she could suck all your energy away (which all came from the womb/tummy area). She would laugh while she did this, and sometimes she would shape-shift or be invisible, but then I'd hear her laughing or she'd appear. The boy came back, and I begged him to make her go away. He told me he couldn't, he was sorry he'd brought her to me, he couldn't protect me from her though as she was much stronger than he was. Those hallucinations carried on most nights for about 6 months and I still see the girl sometimes. (that wasn't one hallucination btw, they all followed on from each other) at the worst, I was getting up to about 15 or more hallucinations in one night.
I also have 2/3 guys in their early-mid twenties; Alex, Chris and Jack. 2 have blond hair and are the same guy but in 2 halves - one nice one not so nice. The other has dark brown hair. All 3 of them are beautiful and perfect, but I'm never allowed to look directly at their faces. They just appear in the room and lie in the bed next to me. They try and come whenever I feel scared, and put their arms around me and tell me that they won't let anything happen to me. (usually they show up after i've been visited by the evil girl )They make me feel calm and safe. And when I'm out by myself,(e.g. when I'm waiting to be picked up, and it's dark) I can feel them with me, keeping me safe.
The one where I had my throat slit, someone came into my room and started jabbing me in the ribs with a knife. They were a bit psycho and then slit my throat, but not properly, I was still semi-conscious for a bit. Then where I was changed, I was outside, and I felt my blood dripping away and knew I was dying. I could see the going into the drain and then I died. Except, I was still there, I could see my body, but I wasn't connected anymore, and I realised I was dead. nothing happened, no heaven or hell, I just carried on going like a ghost.
If you're not sure if you're hallucinating, try looking around you. In hallucinations there's all kinds of details that wouldn't be there in dreams; like the clothes you're wearing, or the mess on the floor... everything in my hallucinations was the same as in real life, even down to the underwear I was wearing. Also, I usually realise that what's happening is unbelievable (like being a ghost, not part of my day-to-day), only, unlike in dreams, I don't 'wake up' after realising this and bad stuff still happens. And sometimes sounds are different, often inside your head, or too far away. The really obvious thing is how vivid it is though, I can remember hallucinations in detail from 3 1/2 years ago like they happened yesterday.Oops,sorry, I rambled on and on! I hope you find my experiences interesting though.
Sophie, I definitely find your experiences interesting. I've never met someone who actually talks to spirits. It really sounds intense. How do you deal with it? I'd be scared out of my mind (if I ran into the evil girl or if I got stabbed & had my throat slit).
You are amazing! =]
Negatively, my sleeping disorder has caused a lot of problems for me - I'm paranoid (though not as bad as I was during the hallucinations with the girl) and watching films / reading books can have some awful dreams and hallucinations that come from them. (not all of my hallucinations have my spirit people in, i mostly said about the ones that I've seen more than once as they have the most 'back-story' to them). I've also become a bit cynical and more with-drawn etc.
Positively, I like knowing that the spirits are there; when I'm scared, like I said before, I can feel them. Also, sometimes I get (ok this is hard to explain without sounding a bit crazy) but voices in my head telling me that everything'g ok, they'll keep me safe. Only, it's not voices, it's more like, suddenly, I just know. (if you try to imagine spirits sending you subliminal messages, you can see why this might be a bit hard to explain!) Also, I get dreams etc. that are like warnings; sometimes i'm just told to be careful, or once, I was told to stop judging someone, and to get to know them first as they would have an impact on my life. Overall, I like knowing that my spirit people are here, trying to look after me.
Also, as soon as you stop fitting in with people, you begin to see how fake or unimportant a lot of your life really is. It becomes much easier to see people for who they really are.
As for the hallucinations, I think something a lot of people don't understand is that it's not like a dream. For the person who has them, they're really real. For me, I guess, knowing I only get them when I was going to sleep helps. It puts them in a compartment. And the rest of the time I'm free of them.
Also, I've always felt different, less connected to the world than other people, like I don't quite belong here, for example, my earliest memory is an out of body experience, watching myself sleep.
Oops! I rambled again!
I don't mind if you ramble! I find it absolutely fascinating to hear about what you've experienced.
When you talk about getting warnings, are they specific to the point where you know what to watch out for? (Kinda like a sign?) Does it come true when (or if) you ignore the warning?
"Also, as soon as you stop fitting in with people, you begin to see how fake or unimportant a lot of your life really is. It becomes much easier to see people for who they really are."
I totally agree with what you said. I really don't fit in with people either and with the friends I do have, I've realized that they're really fake (and they use people for their own advantage) and I don't want anything to do with them.
Do you think you're going to see the spirits forever?
