speaking of my excellent roommate...

after posting the previous blog entry i fell into a deep comfortable slumber. but a few hours later i woke up clenching my jaw and fists in response to a most unpleasant nightmare. when i opened my eyes i hallucinated an ENORMOUS spider crawling on me and then more and more of them (brigid will recognize how reminiscent this is of my childhood hallucinations of spiderwebs surrounding me in the dark). i shot upright throwing off my duvet. when i looked again i thought i saw a dark figure standing at the foot of my bed. i knew i was imagining it, but there was no calming my freak out. without bothering to walk around to the empty side of her bed i spastically crawled over the top of poor sleeping josey, snuggled my scared face into her back and fell asleep. in the morning i woke up to her fresh out of the shower and wearing a big smile. i was worried she might be mad until she said "sleepover last night!" a good roommate indeed.
