Day 4.5: The Procrastinator vs. Gollum

You know, like the Terminator, but instead the procrastinator.

Basically that's just to ensure you all know my procrastination is still continuing. I hope, I think, my work will be done by tomorrow, but who knows. I need help. Maybe Not having my work done will be a big enough kick in the ass for me to wake up and start doing work again.

I have some Psychology. and some Literature.

Have you ever read Poison wood Bible? I suggest it for a fun read. But for class?

Not so much.

I absolutely despise annotating the book. Its not as heavy of annotation as our last reading, Heart of Darkness, which I adored, and because of that its hard to not just read it normally. It would be nice just to read it normally. But noooo.

Oh and we might have an annotation check tomorrow. *Dies*

Anyway, I came here to talk about my irrational fear of Gollum. Well, not so irrational. I have good reasons behind it.


You see, when I was younger, I had nightmares about Gollum. But not normal little kid nightmares. No, I had nightmares about Gollum attacking me and raping me. It was horrifying. It was vivid and painful and I woke up crying. And ever since, I've had an awful fear, or at least disgust, for the creature thing. I can't even respect him as a character because of something he did to me in a dream.

What's worse is sometimes, I, erm, see things. And so when it was dark and turned off the lights all i could picture was Gollum coming up the sides of my bunk bed to sexually assault me, and until I started getting therapy and taking medicine, it haunted me every night. And when I'd walk around in the dark, I was convinced he'd come and get me. When I climbed my bunk bed stairs, I'd be convinced he would grab my feet if I didn't move quickly enough. Thinking back it was totally illogical, he was a goddamn fictional character, but damn was I terrified.

Luckily now I can look back and laugh a bit, for I don't see him at night anymore. But the guy still creeps me the hell out.

So that's my Gollum story. Hope you all can sleep tonight.

Sweet dreams.

Love,

Grace
