Spooked

I just freaked myself out while brushing my teeth after my evening shower. Dont you hate it when you watch a scary movie and then you end up in the shower half an hour later all by yourself feeling like someone is watching you and imagining that the moment you open up the shower curtain to step out of the tub a murderer will be standing there waiting for you?? Well.. I've been told I'm extremely imaginitive. Maybe its true.

So I step out of the shower and dry up a bit before I open up the door to let some of the steam out while I brush my teeth. I hate that I can't see myself in the miror and I dont really like to wipe it clear (I dont know why). Besides, most of the time the mirror is clear enough for me to see my face in by the time I'm done brushing my teeth. Anyway, I fling the door open and start brushing when I look up for a moment. Then the lights go out! My heart stopped. Toothbrush still in mouth, I turned to bolt into the livingroom where my fiance was watching a football game with his best friend when I remembered a sound I heard just as the lights went out. A sound that is very relevent to this horrible turn of events. Yes, I know this sound very well. A click. The click all of us know means that either the lights are on, or they are off. Apparently I flipped the light switch with my elbow while I was brushing. This has happened to me before, maybe three or four times, each time I am met with the same soul freezing fear that something horrible is about to happen. And, after I turn the light back on I always get so mad at whoever would think to put a light switch where anyones elbow could easily accidentlly flip it on or off. Pfft.

So that is the story of how a silly twenty-soimething freaks herself out in the bathroom and lives to tell about it.
