I think I've been spending too much time alone underground, I think I'm starting to hear things. Because I could have sworn this morning that I heard Chris singing from very very far away. Really bad songs, to. I think I caught the Prince Ali song from Alladdin. Or a particularly bad filk - it was so faint, I couldn't tell for sure. Either way, I'm scarred for life. ^-^

If that boy's ego gets any larger, he'll blow up like a balloon and explode. And Sabbycat'll be heartbroken.

Plus it would completely ruin his teddy bear boxers.

Found some random stuff. Not the Idea Generator, but stuff enough to keep me from really wanting to give up and go back.

There was a place with giant craters filled with lava - I steered clear of them. I think I'm deeper underground than I thought.

I thought I saw a rainbow thing at one point (seeing things too! ack!). I enjoyed the sight very much as I haven't seen red, orange, yellow, or purple for a very long time. I tried to go towards it but it only seemed to get further and further away. Then I broke into a run and the ground just totally gave out under me. It was scary.

Becky's feet saved me, the box with them caught on the side of a pillar and I was able to climb back up and to a more stable place. Mental note not to let self get mesmerized by stuff, lakes or rainbows or anything else, it's universally turning out to be very very bad for me.

Followed the curve of the lake for a while - off the sand. It goes around in a circle, which means the entire old room and places I've been so far are on an underground island. But there's one place where I can kind of see the opposite shore. I'm staying there, for a while. I have a feeling about it. I'm staying off the sand and way out of reach of the lake monsters, so I'll be fine.

I'm pretty sure I'm eventually going to figure out how to get across without killing myself in the process.

Oh, and while I was sitting here a rat skittered across my feet. A cute little albino rat. Maybe the lake monsters eat them. But then what do the rats eat? There's no plants down here. Maybe there are at the bottom of the lake. It doesn't make much sense.
