patient in my ignorance

today, i tried on contact lenses for the first time ever.
while not the most pleasant experience, it was probably
the highlight of my week so far- considering this long
break has turned me into an antisocial, wasteful slob.
hopefully, things go well and i can avoid getting an eye
infection. i dunno...we'll just have to wait and see. haha.
my puns have also deteriorated with this uneventful break.
on another note, while talking about scary experiences-
i know it's kinda a stretch going from contacts to "scary"
but this is just how i transition, okay? so, coming home
from playing basketball tonight, i went to the kitchen as
usual to rinse my water bottle. when i was at the sink, every-
thing checked out to be normal. but suddenly the silence of
midnight at the lee residence was broken when a baby toy
straight across the kitchen in the living room turned on by
itself and uttered in a high-pitched childish voice "let's go!"
initially, my eyes dashed left and right only to find that no one
was around and that the toy indeed acted on its own. in response,
i showed some machismo saying, "alright! you wanna go?!?"
humoring myself (like i so often do when i'm alone), i finished
rinsing my bottle and put it away in the dish washer calmly.
but then the toy just had to throw in a child's laugh and an
overly enthusiastic "come on! let's play!" after i had internally
convinced myself that the first utterance was simply a fluke.
my heart kinda stopped. i kinda got instant chills all over my
body. i kinda hurried to gather my things to head upstairs. but
do not fret, my dear blog-reader you! i'll have you know that i
had the courage to walk up to the toy to see what was wrong
with it. of course, right before i pick up the cursed thing, it says
"bye bye" with almost a sarcastic tone like it was so over me.
i jump back and put up my hands getting ready to fight (whom
am i kidding? i dunno how to kung fu). and then i check the
reflections from the windows to see if i could spot some twisted
demonic vampire bloody mary thing- wait, but vampires don't
have reflections, john. don't be silly. okay, sorry dear blog-reader
you; i gotta get my facts straight. anyway, in the process of
searching for some evil spirit to battle against, i found nothing and
instead proceeded to check my own reflection out- hey, beautiful.
when i finally got upstairs, i told my brother about what happened.
and then he told me there was an earthquake that shook the whole
house and that was probably the cause for the toy turning on.
yeah, i'm just going to tell myself that. at 4 a.m. when i still can't
sleep. it was an earthquake. it wasn't a toy just toying with me.
