This is my first time doing anything like this, so I apologize if it
looks like I have no clue what I'm doing. I don't. So if this is a
little stilted or weird or I ramble at times, I'm sorry.
Welcome to my blog, I guess. The name's a bit pretentious, but I didn't name it. Dan (he's a friend of mine- I'll probably talk about him now and then on here) named it, and I haven't really been able to think of anything to which to change it. I'm fairly sure that he just hit the 'random page' button on Wikipedia and copied down one of the first lines. Maybe, if someone actually reads any of this, I'll take whatever suggestions that are given. Dan'll probably be disappointed, but he's always liked things that sound artsy and sophisticated. That's just not me, I guess.
Speaking of me, I should probably talk about myself. That's what people on blogs do, right?
My name is Chris. I like hiking, old movies, and whatever the opposite of posting about yourself on the internet is. If I sound like a Chris you know, dear reader, maybe I am, but I'm going to let you figure that out yourself. No last names, no specific references to were I live. It already feels weird enough talking about myself on the internet, so I'd rather not give more than I have to. See, I'm gonna do this whole 'blog' thing, but it's not really my choice. Dan said he thought this might help, and he's a psych major, so it's either this, or I have to deal with him psychoanalyzing me for the next six months. So, blog it is.
See, I have night terrors. I've lived with them since I was a kid, and they've kind of led to insomnia on occasion. Some nights, I just can't sleep, either because I wake up in a cold sweat, thinking someone is in the room with me, or the fear that I'll have another one will keep me awake. I can sleep fine during the day, but that's generally when I need to be awake, so they cause some issues. Dan, he thinks they're either the result of some childhood trauma or an ingrained fear of the dark.
That's a load of shit. They're just dreams. Everyone has bad dreams sometimes.
So Dan thinks, maybe if I talk about it to strangers on the internet, it'll help me deal with them. At this point, I'll go along with it, but honestly, I have my own ways of dealing with them. I like to go hiking in the middle of the night. I like hiking in general, but night hikes are always the best. The ambience is nicer. I love the sounds of the woods at night. To add to that, I don't have to share the trail with anyone, which is always nice.
Jesus Christ I've rambled. Anyway, my name is Chris, and, assuming I don't give up on this whole thing tomorrow, I'll try to talk about the night terrors, whenever they come up. I'll also try to post about the night hikes if and when anything interesting happens, since that seems like something I'd much rather write a blog about.
See you next time, I guess.
