yesterday was a lot of fun.
I had my last day of class! woo woo!
then, my friend Ali and I went to the Brass Rubbings Center. it was incredibly hard to find because we had no idea what it was called, and when googling it, didnt think of anything so simple as Brass Rubbings Center.
it was super cool though! we thought we were going to be given a piece of paper, a piece of brass, and then head into a cemetary or something, but no! we go into this converted church and there are just brass pictures on blocks, and you pick one and take it to the counter and they cover it with paper and then you have about 10 colors to choose from to rub with. pewter, silver, gold. it was a lot of fun!!
in fact, so much fun we missed meeting our friends at a pub for the US v Ghana game (we lost) and so much fun we plan to go back tomorrow!
after coloring time was over, I went to the grocery store, and then came home and it was time for us to go on a ghost tour.
I had conveniently forgotten about that. I hate being scared. but, Edinburgh is supposed to be one of the most haunted cities in the world, and the tour we were going on stops by a cemetary that is inhabited by the best documented supernatural phenomenon in the world.
the MacKenzie Poltergeist!!!! dun dun dun!
193 people on the tour have fainted and woken up with bruising on their necks. the poltergeist has gone from a level 1 to a level 4 ghost, meaning that he went from brushing up against people, to attacking them. people have been carried up the walls, inhabited by the poltergeist, and attacked.
so the tour guide says.
I didn't believe any of it. but my roommate woke up today with bruises on her arm!! dun dun dun! from the poltergeist? or from me squeezing her arm too tightly? hahaha. the latter of course (she doesnt really have bruises)
unfortunately, and oh so surprisingly, no poltergeist activity on our tour. aw shucks! but I was scared enough of him attacking me, that I was more than fine that he didn't attack anyone.
not that he is real of course.
did I mention we did this tour at 10 pm? silly girls. I woke up a 4am today and couldnt get back to sleep until I talked myself down that no poltergeist was going to attack me. sheesh, what a girl.
I am all better now.

So by the time I'm reading this you have maybe gone back to the whadaya callit to make brass rubbings.(Brass Rubbing Center?) It is so hard to remember these esoteric names for common activities.
Having led and otherwise participated in innumerable ghost hunts (went to school in a ghost city, afterall) I can state unequivically (root word quiv meaning scared so with all the affixes meaning "not scared that I might be wrong") that the likelihood of seeing or otherwise experiencing a ghostishness is directly proportional to the believishness factor. "You ain't goin' to see no ghost if you ain't believin' you goin' to see no ghost" Those of you who understand English as spoken here in the former colonies see if you can decipher the double negatives out of that.
I am looking forward to your return to the sunny climes of AZ.
But I am really going to miss this blog.
OF COURSE THERE ARE REAL GHOSTS! Unfortunatley, I have not actually SEEN one ever (yet), but I know that they are there! I so need to go to Edinburgh. It is so wasted on you nonbelievers. If i didn't actually experience some paranormal activity, I would imagine some so vividly I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Oh wait, have i heard something like this before? Oh well, it still sounds like a thrilling good time. And I too will miss this blog!
