Adventure Time!

[Rye]

Not about the cartoon.

Huxley and I decided we'd take an adventure to a town about "20 minutes walking distance" from the hotel, because we thought it'd have like, cute shops and it'd be by a river or something sweet. We were planning on eating is a cute local eaterie or something. We got uh... distracted in the hotel, so we left later than expected. The road there was super narrow and dangerous to walk on, and it got dark really quickly, and it took us by surprise. So we kept walking because google maps deceived and told us it was right around the corner. 20 minutes later, we're still walking, and I'm scared out of my mind, hyperventilating and shaking because it was a hick area and I have an intense distrust for anything that's not proper suburban/urban (which probably confuses people because people are LIKE LOL WUT CITY = BAD, but most areas in cities are well lighted and full of people at all times, except for ultra ghetto areas which would be nearly as scary, except that there are better places and businesses to hide in and call a cab/cops in), because I have this terrible prejudice stereotype in my mind that anyone from a hick area is poor and crazy and will kill me while strumming on their banjo and yelling "SQUEAL LIKE A PIGGY" like in that movie.

/offends half of eoff

So I'm absolutely terrified everytime I see a car, because I'm convinced they're axe murders bent on killing me and hacking me, or someone in the car is aiming to shoot me, or someone was going to come out of the woods we were near. We ended up taking a wrong turn into a little subdivision, where this car stopped, and I was convinced it was an serial killer because I saw a sign that said "crime watchers" and was like AHHHH CRIME and nearly broke down in the middle of the street until Huxley had to get me to snap out of it, but it turned out to be some young business man. I was like "HUXLEY ASK HIM FOR DIRECTIONS PLEEEASEEEE" and Huxley just starts talking to him in some random middle-class (??? as Huxley describes it) English accent, which he has not done once this entire time, so it confused me, but it was because people here are charmed and enamored by a British accent.

Long story short, scariest moment of my life, we finally got to civilization - ie: a traffic light road with a rite-aid and dunkin' donuts, which is basically advanced civilization in smurfing Rhode Island, pretty much had a panic attack at Huxley yelling about how I couldn't trust anyone but him because everyone is scary and evil and has a secret murder agenda, and freaked out in Dunkin' Donuts and caused him to cut his head on a lamp. Then we got a taxi cab back, freaked out a bit in the hotel, and now here I am, safe and not crazy and having my back stroked by a Horxlee.

LOL OUR NIGHT.

For those with attention deficiency disorders, here is a summarized snippet of the general ramblings for you to ponder over - Huxley and I walked about about 2 miles along a dangerous tiny road in this scary wooded area in the dark and I had a panic attack. What's the scariest place you've ever walked alone/with a small group of people with at night?

I live in a rural area (about 20 minutes from the city, but still). Good to know that I'm a ghetto hick who is poor and ugly who plays the banjo. :kaoupset:

City people. :rolleyes2

The U Lands ;___;

It's this huge agricultural area run by the University of Minnesota near my apartment. It used to be a munitions plant, so there are these random half torn down buildings everywhere, as well as big walls up in the middle of nowhere. There are also two sets of towers - one set has three and a half towers, the other has five. This is what the towers looked like in operation. The building behind it was torn down however, with the towers still standing, and nobody really knows why the towers were left. Now it just looks like this. When you go there at night, all you see is the silhouetted towers against the sky, and they're about eight or nine stories tall...Just these random, menacing towers against the sky. Some abandoned buildings are still standing around the area, and while me and a couple friends were exploring around it, we came across signs that had been spray painted over, but you could still see the "Biohazard" warning symbol underneath it with some unclear words. I thought it was cool because I'm sickly interested in that kind of thing, but they got kinda freaked out. When we began hearing sounds from the area that weren't coming from us, we decided it was probably time to go. On the way back, we saw a combine with its lights on sitting in the middle of a field, not moving at all, with a silhouette of a person standing maybe 20 yards away from it. We could see his shoulders and head, so he was either facing us or the opposite direction, but we watched him for a few minutes and he never moved. It thoroughly freaked us out.

I love that place x_x

*shivers @ Akaria's and Rye's stories* ;-;

I try my best to avoid scary places, but...

So far my scariest experience was interrogation via the Pregnant Immigrations Officer Lady. She pulled the Bad Cop when she was interrogating me, Good cop when she was talking to me normally (trying to help me find my suitcase, going through my carry on, telling me that I had 24 hours in the UK, etc), but...The day after I came home, I had to go to the doctor's because the night before I left, I felt like I had strep throat. It only got worse as I travelled (probably because the lady sitting behind me on the plane was coughing continuously for the 12 hour duration of the flight), and all I drank was tea (the flight attendant was really awesome, he was this British guy who smelled really good ), but my throat didn't get any better.

ANYWAY BACK TO MY STORY. I went into the exam room in the doc's office and I kept thinking about the interrogation and how harsh and scary she was. The nurse turned to me and said "How old are you?" in a neutral voice. I tensed and about peed myself because all I could think about was the interrogation ;-;

Mom admitted to me that she tensed up too (She was in the exam room with me), and it turned out I had a very definite case of strep throat...So definite that it took the results half as long as usual to come back. Poor Alan complained of a sore throat to me the morning I went to the doctor...

For those with attention deficiency disorders, here is a summarized snippet of the general ramblings for you to ponder over -: Being interrogated by the pregnant British immigrations lady has been my scariest and most traumatizing experience EVUR. ;-;

Needs more posts like this. Almost creepypasta.

I love it. Big city girl is terrified of rural areas.

Lots of people around here would be terrified to be in NYC alone.

I grew up in Los Angeles then was transplanted to the middle of nowhere in Oklahoma. I'm still scared to go outside here at night, whereas I had no problem walking down the street of Norwalk at the wee hours of morning. Lawl.

Opposite for me. I've lived in the same small town all my life, about 15-20 minutes from the second largest city in Indiana. I would have no problem walking around outside here at any time of day, but I'd be on guard in the city, especially in the high crime area. There's been a lot of shootings recently too.

I still call where I live 'rural' though, since the community right outside of this town is Amish-- horse-drawn buggies, black clothes, horse droppings on the road, the whole deal. smurfing horses ruin the roads with their hooves too.

That's because kids who grew up in rural areas are paranoid of smurfing everything. Here in the south anyway.

You're all pussies. :P

I guess I'm lucky. I live in a rural area, but I have spent enough time in Columbus and Nashville to not be afraid of city life. (I prefer it, actually.)

[DMKA]

lol, Columbus isn't south. For some reason kids who grow up in the rural north aren't nearly as xenophobic, racist, and overall paranoid as kids who grow up in the rural south. I don't really get it.
