Today, i observed a grey striped cat, crouching over a large pile of mail, spilled from my building's common mailbox. Its eyes were scanning the pile intently, between occasional glances up, to watch for anyone approaching. When i turned the stairwell's light on, hoping to take a photograph - it made its escape immediately.

The symbols swim before your eyes, making you sleepier. Your mind begins to unravel as you struggle to understand these strange letters. Your head slowly sinks towards the desk...
When you wake it is midday. Your coffee is cold. Da*m it! You'll never get the hang of algebra.

Although the university you attend has always been liberal, it has not and will never be quite THAT liberal. Your classmates gathered around the lunch table artfully change the subject, hoping to sweep what you said under the rug. Now they must think you're a fool.

You've been tasked with babysitting your sister's bunny while she cleans the cage. You knock over a stack of books and turn your back for five seconds to pick them up. When you turn around, you see that you've left the door open and the bunny is hopping down the hallway. You have to go catch him now.

You stand before the University's stone pillars. As you look above - there, upon the loftiest building - you sight a set of three figures, aligned in perfect symmetry. They are birds; not ravens, for their colour is greyish rather than immaculate white. But there is indeed a crow-like aspect to their somber presence. They caw softly, in a tone quite far from a songbird's whistle. The sound echoes in your head throughout the lecture you attend - as does the smeared image of the slender-legged birds. That night, your sleep is tinged with unease.
Nightmares has increased to 5 - Haunted!

Pffft, please. I needed 7 levels of physics to get my major in Chemistry. You don't know what nightmares and ravings are until you then. (I estimate Nightmares 100 by the end of the course, I'm still getting rid of all that. And that bit of Scandal that always cling when you are always smelling of weird chemicals.).
Actually, now that I think about that, my major was in fungus species that can absorb heavy metals. I suppose they are the answer to the sewer trouble in London.

You have 5 comic pages

You spend your night trying to decipher a rather tricky map in an event called the Hunt of the Cipher. At some point in the night, you manage to doze off. Your mind full of ideas and a journal marked with a 3. Upon waking you see a singular note on your desk of your night's work. It reads only two words: Pine Trees.

"Your trip to a festival of poetry and hunting strange beasts comes to a head upon your landing on Governor's Island. There though, not only do you find more of the words lyrical and beasts fantastic, but a word. A place. A command. It echoes in your mind, and lower still. Upon the island you learn that no sustenance bring you relief. When you return to your lodgings two days and much travel later, the word lingers in your mind. A candles flickers in your dreams."
You've gained Unaccountably Peckish x 1
You've gained Seeking Mr. Eaten's Name x 1 (New Total: 4)
Nightmares is rising... (+5 CP)
I mean, this damnable quest does haunt my thoughts at odd times, and for some reason nothing sated my hunger that day on the island, so this is actually all legit.

{To clarify, i propose this thread as a place to post your real-life experiences that have a marked air of the Neath about them. The principle is borrowed from websites such as "My life is Magical", which turns the same trick for the Harry Potter fandom; sites whose prosaic origins lie with the notorious FML site. Ideally, this should follow a similar format, plus an optional inclusion of quality changes. Suggested seals are "MLIN", for My Life Is Neathy, "MLIQNI", "MLIRN" (the additional letters standing for Quite, Rather and Indeed, respectively) and so forth. Or, if you are a Bohemian - perhaps "LFTDLOMIFNF!"}
