(not so) scary times

First of all HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIKA!!!!

So tuesday, i went with some friends to an old mill and creepy bridge. In the dark...hunting ghosts. thats right. me. the girl who is afraid of everything. well...the good thing is that this place is like a park/recreation place in the warm weather..so there were lights and not too scary--although i still think someone was behind us one time. I told a few people about this adventure and they mostly laughed at me for acting like a 14 year old--but it was fun and not scary..so i didnt care.

So, wednesday night, im sitting on the couch, trying to decide whether or not to research some masters programs when johnson calls again to invite me to this real haunted house. Now--there are signs on the door of this place that informs trespasser types like us that there are videocameras throughout the house videotaping the paranormal activity. I laughed the first few times they went..so i figured--we're leaving kokomo soon, and these people are pretty fantastic people..so again we set out in search of ghosts and adventure. the house is--admittedly creepy--like actually living (and believing) the blair witch creepy-so we get out of the car...here some wolves or coyotes or dogs in the distance start going nuts, get scared and get back in the car. As it turns out--theres this crazy little cemetary behind the house. I stayed in the car on that one. NO WAY am I going to a cemetary in the dark! Next, we decide to go on a treasure hunt of sorts thanks to cory--and so we borrow a GPS and go get some more flashlights and batteries. Oh, and things to replace the treasures we were going to find (and to spend Johnsons money). Then we hunt for the treasure. I finally saw Big Ben and the sycamore stump. No luck on treasures though. Then we use the GPS to locate this other treasure out of town--turns out--its at a cemetary..but im not so scared this time as its a big one and we're on a mission. Katie had to get home, and it was really cold, so we didn't find that treasure either..but overall--we had a fantastic time...im really gonna miss this crew and am sad that i didn't meet them sooner during our time here in Kokomo--it figures we'd make friends as soon as we knew we were moving.

Scottie has a cold...poor kid. he still made me some chicken for dinner (only chicken, because we're too lazy to go buy any other groceries). Hope everyones having a good week!!

Blogger is acting funny today.

Anyway, you are so crazy! It sounds like you had fun. :)

You won't believe this, but we are looking at buying a house near Burkittsville, which is where the Blair Witch Project was filmed. I'm serious!! Check it out - http://www.blairwitch.com/ and here is the house (it has a Jefferson, MD, address, but it's really about 2 miles from the town of Burkittsville) - http://homes.longandfoster.com/Buy_Home/Search/Property_Details.aspx?coId=2&mlsNum=FR5037384)
