(Not-)Unsolved Mysteries Around the House

Mar 20, 2012 23:32

I kept meaning to post about stuff, and then being too busy/tired/sick to, so. Uh. Here, have a post.

1. MYSTERY OF THE MYSTERIOUS LAPTOP (Solved)

So last-last weekend, I went to visit Dani! And then I came back on the Monday, and there was a laptop on the carpet, and it was on. It wasn't Eilia's new one, but it wasn't mine, and looked vaguely familiar, so I assumed it was Eilia's old one.

And then Eilia came home, and it was still there, and still on.

And then a few days passed, and it was still there, and still on.

And then I started to wonder if it was my imagination. I mean, it really wasn't mine, so it must be Eilia's, right? But if Eilia was ignoring it the whole time, then maybe it didn't really exist?

Aaaaanyway, last Thursday, when I was coming home from mom's place, I noticed Eilia putting it away. So, yes, it really IS hers, and it really IS real. XD;;; She was just too lazy to put it away and didn't notice it was on. XD;

2. MYSTERY OF THE MYSTERIOUS STINKY SMELL (Solved)

Recently, there's been a very mysterious, very stinky smell in my room. Well, no, the smell wasn't mysterious. It was very. Um. Ammonia-y. Which means cat. The location was mysterious, because it was somewhere near my bed and desk area, but shouldn't be from the litterbox, because when I cleaned it before, it smelled, but not this bad and unsaturated. So I thought maybe cat peed somewhere in my room outside of the litterbox.

Anyway, slightly cleaned up the area, and sniffed all over, and discovered that, nope, the smell was coming from the litterbox after all. The clean, newly-scooped one. The never-been-this-smelly-before one.

I think it's the litter I got this time. :\ It's really not nearly as good as the kind I got before. See, I ran out so we just got it from the grocery store this time since they had litter. The previous kind I got had these little purple shinies in it that absorbed odor. This one said it did, and the box art showed it, but... there's so little I can't even see any at all. So I think it wasn't as smelly before, but all the smells kinda slowly gathered at the bottom, and now there's so much, it's all coming out.

This kind isn't clumping together properly, either. D: I mean, it clumps, but as soon as I try to scoop it, it'd fall apart. Bah...

I'm almost out of this one anyway, so I'll be getting a better one from the pet store properly next time. And will be dumping all of this one. Ickyick. And washing the pan as Dani suggested.

Actually, I wonder if I should get a bigger litterbox, period...? Cat got... HUGE all of a sudden. Seriously. Like. Gigantic. O_o;;; But that's a different topic altogether.

3. MYSTERY OF THE MYSTERIOUS PACKAGE (NOT SOLVED)

So Eilia had a package and there was a last-try notice kind of thing, with the last day she could pick it up being the 16th. She went to pick it up somewhere around the... uh... 13th?

So on the 15th, I came home from mom's place, and there was a thingie in the mailbox! A package delivery failure thingie! And I was kinda like. WHAT. WHAT. BUT DIDN'T SHE PICK IT UP ALREADY.

So I took it out, and looked at it, and... this one wasn't Eilia's.

This one was mine.

Except I didn't order anything lately. Well, not to this address. After having to pick it up, I grumbled and just had things sent to mom's place after all. >.>;

Anyway, the mysteriouser part was, the address said... "[Ari's name here] and Highwind". For those of you who weren't around for that, Highwind is... my... my cat.

I AM SO CONFUSED.

There's a 15-day window to pick up the package, so I'll go this Saturday...

Why is there a package for my cat. XD;

I knew I shouldn't have left the computer on.

EDIT: OH MY GOSH FOURTH MYSTERY, WHAT

4. MYSTERY OF THE MYSTERIOUS ROOMMATE (TOTALLY NOT SOLVED EILIA HELP ME SOLVE THIS)

Around like... 10:45-ish today, I coulda sworn Eilia came home and said hi. I saw her, I think? And I said hi back and all. And then I was too busy dying in my game so I went back to game.

At around 11, I finished what I was doing in-game, so I went to look for Eilia. And I couldn't find her. Checked everywhere, called for her... only place I didn't check was her room, but the light was off. I tried calling her name, but she didn't answer, so I assumed she went to bed already.

Anyway, just now (11:50-ish), I got a text from her saying she's not coming home. So I checked her room, and she's definitely not there. Plus, I remember her leaving today with a peachy-coloured dress and a white thing over it, and I'm pretty sure the person I vaguely saw was wearing purple, black, and white...?

..................................

I AM SO CONFUSED.

And the door is locked for sure. So there can't be anyone here...? O_o
