Kelly’s “Take Me Back To The Start� Challenge

[Chanda]

Yeah for the progress on the life goal! The end is in sight for that one!

I am rather curious about the Zombie Run, sounds like fun! Can't wait to hear how you do on that one!

[Blueberries]

So much going on! How's the no wheat/no sugar going today?

[Strawberry Squatcake]

The acheyness will pass soon enough, just a little detoxing before you come around. Nice job on getting those lunches pulled together. I spent yesterday with the gf watching movies, and we had candy and popcorn. In fact I didn't really eat one thing healthy yesterday, I didn't go overboard, just nothing good. But this morning I got up and my ankles, wrists and various other joints were hurting, it's got to be from all that sugar. So I'm fasting this moring to help clear my system out (plus I wasn't hungry post workout, which never happens.)

It was weird, I never expected my joints (or head) to hurt from wheat (or sugar). A (semi-unsupportive) friend said, "Eh, it's not wheat. It's all in your head." OK, thanks for that! Let's see you kick it, then!

Ha, I always eat worse (well, more) when I'm home - if I'm at work I'm stuck with whatever I brought with me because I can manage to be stubborn enough to not buy more food but can't always be stubborn enough to avoid snacking on whatever I have lying around.

Sounds like you've got a good plan for the next week or so!

Since my tendency is to stress eat and there's almost no stress in my non-work life, I do MUCH better at home, if I'm trying to eat better. If I'm not, then of course food is easier to get to and snack on. But my house is pretty clean. If I'm home, I also generally don't want to leave to get food (or anything else), so that helps, too.

When I'm stressed I would spend 70 cents on a candy bar. But when I'm not stressed, I know how ridiculously over-priced that is. So I wish I were more logical when I'm stressed!

Yeah for the progress on the life goal! The end is in sight for that one!

I am rather curious about the Zombie Run, sounds like fun! Can't wait to hear how you do on that one!

Lots of people are sayign they're scared. But I'm not sure why. Clowns and other face masks freak me out if they get up in my face, but these zombies can't touch you. They can only chase you and take your flags. So nothing about it sounds scary. But, maybe it'll be scarier than I think it's going to be?

So much going on! How's the no wheat/no sugar going today?

Well, I feel better than yesterday (so far). I'm tired, but also didn't sleep well last night (mostly because I was hot - it was 90 degrees here yesterday after on Thursday being in the 50s for a high). I keep craving cheese breadsticks. I can almost taste them. Luckily the ones I want are a decent drive and I have slightly more self-respect than that. The cravings were worse yesterday. And so far, I have no immediate plans that would put me in the line of wheat fire. (If it comes down to it, I"ll break the sugar fast before the wheat fast - mostly because I'm craving wheat a lot more so I figure it's the bigger monkey on my back).

Had a headache this morning. But chugged some water. I'm drinking green tea right now. And I have 85% dark chocolate in an emergency (which I'm not sure if it counts as "sugar," especially compared to what I've been eating). But that's what I'll break down and have if I MUST.

I also brought a stack of old US magazines. I'll escape SOMEWHERE (even if it's my car) and read one instead of eating.

[Chanda]

I just googled Zombie Run. OMG that is totally awesome, I can just imagine the adrenalin rush of doing such a race!

[Hermione Gainser]

Hahahah Reason #94841140148590602 I love Kelly: being chased by zombies isn't scary. Hahahah girl, you crack me up. Even though they couldn't touch me my heart would be POUNDING. I'm so excited for you to do it, though! Yay!

Sounds like you have a really solid plan set up in case of emergency. I'm glad to hear that! I hope the achy nonsense will go away soon

It's not an official "Run For Your Life" race because I'm in a town they didn't want to come to, but it involves zombies and obstacles, so I'm guessing it's similar.

It seems silly to be afraid of things that aren't real. Like fake-zombies, wigs, and nice boys. Hahaha. Just kidding. I'm tired as crap today. I have a feeeling it's going to be a rough day to get through.

What about clowns, they're not real, and yet they are, terrifyingly real...

[Hermione Gainser]

hahaha that is not logic I possess. I go to bed at night and if I see a shadow I'm all, "DEMONNNNNNNN! DEMONNNN!" so... yeah. My lamp flickered the other day and I nearly shat myself.

I blame Supernatural.

And having to watch Paranormal activity 1-3.

The dumpster at my apartment is in a little fenced in area and has a motion sensor light so you can throw trash out at night without being murdered, which I am a fan of. However the light was on the fritz a few months back, and it would just flicker randomly. I walked up to it with a bag of garbage the lights flickered out, and I fully expected there to be a zombie/machete wielding maniac/monster from hell standing there when it came back on.

[Blueberries]

On the one hand, I think, "No way do I want any part of a race that involves scary things chasing me," and on the other hand, I posted this on my FB wall a little while back, and I meant it. #conflicted

[Strawberry Squatcake]

What about clowns, they're not real, and yet they are, terrifyingly real...

Well, but clowns are kinda real. I think the reason clowns and Santa and some of those thing freak me out is my pedophile radar. For some reason I don't relate to wanting to do those things as an adult, but assume people who do have a motive for doing it (other than just a job, which I guess is probably true for some of them). SO my mind says, "Why would someone WANT to do this?" My mind answers, "Easy access to children!" So I think THAT'S what freaks me out. Pair that with not beign able to see their faces and appropriately judge their reactions or creepy looks... And THAT'S what freaks me out about them. Weird. But true.

And on Halloween face masks also freak me out because I can't see a person's face or know how drunk they are, what their facial expressions say, etc. Plus, drunk people can already be kind of sketchy in bar scenes, and I think being in costume makes them feel more anonymous (and they are more anonymous). So that freaks me out a little.

All insecurity issues, I guess? (Insecurity meaning not secure. Maybe that's not the right way to word it.)

hahaha that is not logic I possess. I go to bed at night and if I see a shadow I'm all, "DEMONNNNNNNN! DEMONNNN!" so... yeah. My lamp flickered the other day and I nearly shat myself.

And having to watch Paranormal activity 1-3.

Well, OK, maybe demons aren't real (or maybe they are and I've just been fortunate). but I think something hiding in the shadows could be real. I think after living alone for so long, I've learned not to let the unknown scare me too much? Several years ago BTK (bind, torture, kill) serial killer was on the looose in Wichita. And by "on the loose" I mean he'd always been around, but hadn't been caught then on the anniversary of his first killing he started taunting police again. His target was generally single women, usually living alone or home alone. And some of his killings were near my house. He'd break into houses after cutting phone lines and pranksters were going around ctuting lines for kicks. Anyway, because I lived alone then, my family was acting extra freaked out. I'm like, "Of all the people in all of the Wichita area, why would **I** be the target? The odds are way against it." And I think that was my defense mechanism to not give myself a stroke. And after they caught him, IN THE SUBURBS, I was like, "There's no way to be scared of every possible fear." So I just try to be realistic about it. Of course it CAN happen. But mostly I feel safe. I also live in Kansas. OK, there are freaks everywhere.

I even started watchign a BTK movie last night when I was trying to fall asleep. But it kept locking up streaming so I decided maybe the universe was trying to tell me something.

So I'm more scared of real people than supernatural. But I'm also less scared than I am scared of real people. If that makes sense? (I'm not sure how I could live alone if I were more scared than I am. I always lock my doors. I shut my garage before getting out of my car. I try to be aware of what's around me. If I see anything weird outside, obviosly I'll call the police.)

The dumpster at my apartment is in a little fenced in area and has a motion sensor light so you can throw trash out at night without being murdered, which I am a fan of. However the light was on the fritz a few months back, and it would just flicker randomly. I walked up to it with a bag of garbage the lights flickered out, and I fully expected there to be a zombie/machete wielding maniac/monster from hell standing there when it came back on.

"throw trash out at night without being murdered" I definitely don't think I could live in an apartment in some parts of town. I was always freaked out dumping trash by myself when I worked at a restaurant where the parking lot was lit up (but the trash can was kind of out by its lonesome).

A monster from hell sounds terrible. I never think of these things, or consider them real (although I do consider pedophiles monsters from hell).

My personal worst fear? Rapists. And they can look as normal as anyone! (As can serial killers, pedophiles, mass murders, etc.)

Edit: Come to think about it, if a plain-clothed guy started chasing me when I was all alone on the race, I'd be WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more scared than if a zombie were chasing me. So, yikes.

That first part made me laugh... Netflix is wise, no need to scare yourself right before bed!

Also, that part about normal people being scary reminded me of what happened in the newest Once Upon a Time... Random dude on the street asks Belle is she's at the library waiting for someone, and she says no. He says "good" or something like that and he kidnaps her! My husband was like "Why would you talk to that guy when you're alone!" And I said "And why would you tell the truth about not expecting anyone? You lie, say someone should be there any second and then knee the guy in the crotch and run!" So husband says "That's assault, if all he did was ask that question" and I replied "They'd have to catch me for me to be charged!" It was a silly conversation, but I always have in the back of my mind that if I'm freaked out by someone, I'm going to run first and figure out if they actually meant harm later. You just never know.

This... totally. That would freak me out too. Real people way more scary than any made up monster. I agree.

Mind you I spotted a zombie clown in one of the Zombie Run videos I watched, and that was a bit freaky (at 0:41 of the video on http://www.runforyourlives.com). Not sure how scary, but sure was a bit weird. And I am certain it would give some people nightmares for weeks. As for me I am pretty sure I would pee myself laughing if a zombie clown chased me.

Real normal-looking people chasing you is the scariest then? Glad I'm not alone! Definitely always keep "stranger danger" at the top of your radar, and you'll mostly be fine.

Also... I had a very stressful morning. I had to get out of here for lunch. Had rice, but no wheat. And a candy bar. BLAH!! But I stuck to no wheat. And I got to yell (and almost cry) about work. It's so not good here right now. I need to get that new job. Or really, I'd take about any job. But trying not to put off a desperate vibe. Sigh. At least I'm off work for the next couple of days.

True story, I've seriously contemplated fashioning some rock salt shells, ala Sam and Dean, to keep bedside next to my Mossberg, just in case.

I'm not alone! Thank god.

Holy shit, dude. I had never heard of BTK but that would have freaked me right out. Gun-check, krav maga class on the regular-check.

hahahaha but you know what.. your end piece about a plain clothes guy chasing you makes sense. We know zombies are after us if they are around. That's expected. But if some dude in a suit comes at me then yeah, I'm gonna flip my shit.

Also, you should check out the movie ATM. It's terrible, but I think you might enjoy it.

Alright, just finished the BTK movie on Netflix (Hunt for the BTK killer, I think is what it was called). I was surprised how accurate it was. They don't have much way of knowing his at home relationship with his wife because she left town as soon as he was arrested, and never spoke to the press. I don't blame her.

Anyway, there's one scene where a lady is going in her house, sure he was in there.i had one night exactly like that. One. It was terrible. And haven't really been scared since. So while he's awful (and fucking crazy), I guess he made me a bit tougher.

Oh... Little story! My sister's mother-in-law lived in the town BTK lived/worked and BTk came around several times when her husband was traveling. Helping her one time with a skunk. Anyway, one night she even called the police because someone was in her backyard. When the police ot there her gate was open, and the person appeared to be trying to get in her shed. They never tied that incident to him and my bro in law's mom swears he was always very nice to her, but CREEPY!

Alright, that's all I've got for tonight, nerds!

How did I miss this?! But seriously, me too! Also, buying an iron fireplace set. We have no fireplace. But it would make me feel better!

holy crap! that's scary! Btw, did you seriously say you started to watch the btk movie BEFORE BED? girl, you cray-craaaaaaaaaaay.

There's a short series on netflix called Stalked or I was STalked or something like that. I made the mistake of watching that one morning. Yeah, everyone was my stalker afterwards. It's originally on some channel called ID? You should check it out if you're so inclined (read: cray cray).

[Max Power]

Ooh another time I found myself in a horror film was when I was at field camp (it's a geology class where we go out and map things in a geologic way) We were mapping in western Montana and I had gone down a ridge to map an outcrop while my partner (that's right, I'm friends with an internet meme, and no, he's not that redneck, sadly) staid up top. But there was an old mining town that I wanted to go look at, so I told him I was gonna check it out and I'd be back in a minute. As I'm approaching all of these half rotten buildings there are huge crows everywhere, at least 30 of them. I'm walking down the street and I notice among all of these dilapidated buildings that the one on the end has modern chain link fencing over the windows, I quickly realize that's where the chainsaw wielding murderer lives, so I head back to where Hunter was, and he is nowhere to be found. I'm standing there going, "yup, I'm in a horror movie"

[chairohkey]

Ok scary story time. Growing up in northern Arizona I was a member of an all Navajo Boy Scout troop, I’m half BTW. During one campout at the base of LeChee Rock, us scouts were playing flashlight tag. Now the reservation is a spooky place as it is but at night it’s a whole new level of creepy. Anyhow after an hour or so of running around and scaring one another our scout leaders called us all back to camp for dinner. Once we were all eating around the campfire we noticed that my best friend was missing. Knowing him I figured he was still out there hiding trying to prank us, so I volunteered to go find him. It didn’t take long for him to jump out from behind a rock and scare the crap outta me. He laughed, I didn’t, and we headed back to camp.

Halfway there we saw a shadowy figure run past us about 15-20 yards away. Naturally we thought it was another one of our friends so we chased after him. Whoever it was they were fast, I’ve never seen anyone move like that before or after. It was pitch black out there but it navigated past rocks, brush, and sandy terrain like it was noon day. Sprinting after it with our flashlights bouncing around, we were never able to get a good look at it. It didn’t take long for us to realize something wasn’t right so we stopped our pursuit and booked it back to camp. Once we got back we we’re both a bit shaken up and told our scout leaders what happened. They confirmed that we were the only two out there and went to investigate. When they got back they told us they didn’t find anything but their eyes said something was wrong. To this day my friend and I are convinced we encountered a skinwalker.

If I watched the right thing, I watched ATM last night. I work in IT at a financial institution, so some of the stuff was absurd. If things are tampered with, alarms do go off. Some internal pages, others contact police. And somehow I suspected why the guy wasn't coming in the building. but the camera thing didn't really make sense. Ok, the whole movie didn't.

For the record, the reason I "like" serial killer movies is more psychological than being freaked out. When BTK was on the loose, I was obsessed with trying to figure out who he was/why he was doing it. And moreso when he was caught and didn't match the profile all of these criminal psychologists gave. He was married with a family, president of a church. I SWEAR that the fourth season (I think that's the one) was based loosely on BTK. But it's intriguing. Do the kids ever see a glimmer? What about his wife? My mom didn't really keep my dad on a leash but I don't know that he could just leave with no explanation, either. Or tell her she wasn't allowed to go through his stuff (that's what BTK did). My husband tells me I'm not allowed? First thing I'm doing, to figure out why.

Anyway, I'd still read anything BTK-related that came out. And thing the Manson stuff was interesting how he got his followers on board. And was basically batshit crazy, but these women still loved him. So. Weird.

Alright, enough with serial killers. Looked last night for that stalker show, but didn't find it. I'll look again. Might have looked for stalker instead of stalked.

Someone told me once if crows are circling, something's either dead or about to die. Is that true?

Hell yeah, I want to meet and merge with a skinwalker! That's awesome! I've never heard of such a thing. So many interesting possibilities out there, and my life is boring. Filled with asshats at work, a bunch of screaming nieces and nephew's (and family that's all baby-talk), and mostly married friends. I need to get out more. I wonder if there are skinwalkers in Kansas.

I wonder if Ranger in the Stephanie Plum novels is a skinwalker... *veers off track into chick reading territory**

Thanks so much for linking to that wiki page... I won't sleep tonight for sure!

Oh no. Hopefully you're able to sleep. You're so friendly, you could definitely talk reason with a skinwalker, maybe make friends. Send hi,/her my number!

O.O <.< >.> O.O

Eeeeek?

Know what scares me? No one comes to my house without an appointment. Mostly because I'm private and don't want to start inviting random people into my house at THEIR whim. But also so I don't have to answer my door. So it creeps me put when my doorbell rings. Awkward pause. Glass door opens..... Pause. I'm bracing to attack (or run - I really need to get a gun,or a sword!). Then the door closes. After about fifteen minutes I look and it's a stupid political brochure. Hey politicians, get off mah lawn!

[Hermione Gainser]

Yup, that was it. It was pretty awful. That is definitely my type of horror: cheesy, with terrible acting, implausible plots that are supposed to be realistic enough to scare you.. so great.

I actually have a fascination with real life killers, too. Not so much in the I want first hand experience, but more in the I want to study your crazy ass brain. This whole BTK thing is on my list now. It really does sound very much like that season... freakin' freaky! And yeah, I would definitely snoop, too. And then run the frak away hahaha

I'm the same way. I never answer the door. I will be a creep and come look at who it is through the peep hole but then I will tip toe away and keep doing whatever it was I was doing until it's safe to see if they stuck something in the door.

Boo politicians!

[Max Power]

So... How did it end? Did the crows eat him?

Buzzards (or vultures to my northern friends) will circle dead things, and crows will eat carrion, but I've never seen them circle things before.

Hunter had actually gone to pee down an old mine shaft, but for three or four minutes there I was bout to go army of darkness on that place.
