Well, my friends, the television has struck again. Go ahead and imagine the following...
At approximately 11:55, I enter my front door along with Ugly Bastard. He had left his keys inside my house so, upon arrival with him in my car, we needed to come inside so that he could recover his belongings. Of course, my mother and father were fast asleep at this hour...something that isn't surprising. What was surprising was the fact that the kitchen light and the television were both turned on (the computer was on too...but that is irrelevent). You see, 99% of the times that I have come home after my father has gone to bed, the kitchen light and tv have been turned off...and just the computer has been left on. Ugly Bastard made a sarcastic comment about the television being on and I went to on explain that it actually was a bit odd...because it normally isn't on, along with the kitchen light, but I went on to say that I figured my father had left the two on knowing that I would be returning with UB so that he could get his shit. Ugly got a bit excited, thinking that there was at least a small chance that he had seen the television after it had turned itself on, but I insisted that it had to have just been my dad leaving it on. He got his keys and left...
Right after he left, I took my shoes off, put my phone, watch, and cd player face in my room, and pissed. After this, I went into the living room and looked to my right only to see THE TV WAS TURNED OFF! Yes, that's right. In the less than a minute that I was not in the living room, the television had turned itself off... At this point in time, scared shitless, I turned it back on. Upon doing so, I noticed it was ON CHANNEL 36! Even more freaked out, I calmly changed it to 54, turned on an extra set of lights, and came to the computer to update the Nubblies community on the haunting situation.
Let me do a quick recap of the happenings:
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
<LI>UB & I enter my house
<LI>I notice the tv and lights are uncharacteristically on...but think nothing of it
<LI>UB makes some sarcastic comments about the TV being haunted...
<LI>UB makes a sarcastic comment about my screensaver (which is a hand that draws pictures) being my grandfather drawing a picture (it was a picture of elvis presley, but that's neither here nor there)
<LI>I take the side of logic and send UB on his way
<LI>I retire to the back portion of my house for no longer than 2 minutes
<LI>I come back out to see the TV turned off
<LI>I turn it on, to see it has changed channels (to channel 36) (the time at this point is 11:59)
<LI>I shit my pants and continue on with life like nothing happened...[/list]Folks, I'm a bit freaked out...
