Some of you may remember a very old thread I started (I think I did anyway), about rules for haunting me. Well, I've decided to update them!
Old rules:
Basic House Rules and Conduct
- First and foremost, you’re going to help me get a job. If you want a place to stay, then help me out in affording it.
- None of that breaking dishes garbage. I expect you to help keep the kitchen clean and throw out food if it’s spoiled.
- No turning the lights on and off. Light is money, and if I’m not in the room, don’t even think of turning the lights on unless you want to pay the electricity bill. I’m not a money tree.
- No hiding things. It’s hard enough remembering where I put stuff without your little childish jokes. If I set something down, I expect it to stay there. Failure to adhere to this will result in a temporary banishment to the crazy lady’s apartment across the hall. Trust me. You don’t want that.
- Excessive noise, ie: stomping around, hitting walls, etc etc, will absolutely not be tolerated. I live right above the super, so unless you’d like to go out apartment hunting for me, by all means keep it up.
- DO NOT write on the walls. If you want to write and draw that bad, I’ll buy you a notepad and a pack of bic pens. Conversely, if I find one scribble or sentence in any of my sketchbooks, you’re out. No questions asked.
- If I find anything in my fridge such as Smirnoff Ice or Guiness, we WILL be having words.
- If I find any chocolate, any donuts, or any cheese in my apartment, we WILL be having words.
- My clothes stay in my dresser. Don’t throw them around unless you want to pick them up.
- I don't have cable. If you want cable, you can go out, find a job, and purchase it yourself. I already pay for the dsl as it is.
Behavioral conduct
- Don’t stand over me and watch me while I sleep. It’s rude and voyeuristic, and people don’t appreciate it, least of all me. If you need something to do, go play playstation 2 or watch a movie. Hop online and surf the net – I don’t care.
- If you feel the need to scratch and bruise something, I’ll buy a scratching post and a punching bag so you can take out your aggressions on them.
- No coldspots. The temperature in my apartment fluctuates enough as it is without your help.
- If you need to talk to me, speak clearly and coherently. No whispering or mumbling in other tongues. I have little patience for crap like that, so if you have something to say, say it. Now - that doesn’t mean yell or shout or scream. Talk like a civilized person.
- As far as possession goes, not once are you to take control of my body in any sense. I've got enough problems without you messing with my head. However, if you find the need to possess something overwhelming you, go take over the neighbors cat for a day.
- DON’T FLUSH MY SMOKES DOWN THE TOILET.
New Rules:
I work nights, so while I'm not at home during your peak hours, please do your best to tire out the cats so that they don't run amock while I'm trying to go to sleep in the morning.
Again, no breaking dishes. In fact, it would be peachy if you would wash them for me!
As for the lights, same thing. No turning them off and on, since I'm pretty much relegated to being in one room of the house at a time, and don't want to have to go through turning lights off all the time if they're not needed.
Only I am able to touch the AC unit.
Don't stomp around cause it shakes the house something fierce. Charley's little restless leg syndrome is quite enough, thank you.
Don't hide my stuff. I know I have alot of fun little trinkets and doo-dads, but please to be leaving them where they are.
No writing on anything, including walls, ceilings, in sketchbooks, etc.
Don't de-alphabetize the DVD's just to "give me something to do".
Alot of the old rules still apply, so I'll probably add more when I think of them :)
Feel free to make your own lists if you want. I know it helps me whenever I scare myself silly reading SA ghost story threads and any other ghost story site I come across :)
