I took it. I took the money and I'm here and this is probably retarded beyond words but it's over and I committed. I deposited the check, which Mr. Talbrie said he would be watching for as a sign I'd accepted the extension. So that's it, I can't back out.
Except I could. But I won't because I promised and I'm that girl that always keeps her word and lets you copy her homework when you forgot yours.
The truth is that I'm in real dire straits money-wise. I was down to my last $10 and was trying to see if I had anything to pawn so I could afford gas for the car. Now I can afford gas and actual food besides ramen. And I guess even better, it let me relax to focus on my schoolwork again.
I updated the police about the letter, so they're not thinking it's a missing person's deal any,ore. They think it's weird as fuck, but nothing illegal is happening so they're just letting the whole thing drop. They still keep an eye out for hoodie-guy, although the patrol car only comes around once a day anymore.
Still no sign of hoodie-boy. That needs to stay that way.
My academic advisor is starting to come around to a few of my ideas on my paper. I have to tweak it so it covers the rise and death of a few more memes, but I already have years of data on Nyancat and the Derp thing. (Was just tracking that for my own amusement) so it's not so big a deal.
I don't want to jinx it, but it looks like things may be starting to look up!
I guess a last little hommage to the original intent of this whole thing.... Looks like all of the original blogs and a few of the second wave are starting to wrap things up. Jeff is dead from Everyman Hybrid, there's some Livestream thing tonight for Tribe Twelve that people think won't end well, and Marble Hornets looks like it's gearing up to finally end it all. Kinda funny how these things happen, and how things rise and fall together. Like ideas. Like my idea to purely write a Slenderman phenomenon paper. It's falling away as the main driving vlogs/blogs are as well. Is it weird I find that poetic?
The house is back to creaking, but I think it's just the heat since that's on. Everything you were scared of always looks so much lamer in the light of day, doesn't it?? Anyway, I can live with noises.
