So it occurred to Liz and I that we haven't ever posted about this yet. So I will and I'll spam your f-lists while I'm at it! XD
Our dorm room is haunted by Ueda.
He looks like this:
So.
I get up earlier than Liz twice a week, and she has, upon multiple occasions, heard things in the room moving and heard footsteps coming from the direction of the balcony, which is on the other side of the room from the door. And since I’m always long gone by then, and there’s no one else in the room, it’s the ghost! And it’s only ever around in the mornings, always gone by like 10:30. But I had never heard it or anything, so I had always been a bit skeptical, even after we figured out who it is.
The ghost is Ueda, there’s no doubt. XD See, while my half of the room is all Yamapi and NEWS, her side is KAT-TUN. We’re not allowed to attach anything directly to the walls, but there’s this little strip of wood running around that we can tape things to, so all the pictures and stuff are essentially in vertical strips. Well, Liz has a KAT-TUN poster that came with a magazine a few months ago, and Kame looks adorable in it, so we managed to attach it to the bottom of another poster. Except Ueda looks REALLY funky in that pic (while we don’t hate him, neither of us really like him lol), and there was a great little crease in exactly the right spot, so we just folded him back towards the wall.
Well, Ueda-Ghost did NOT like this. Multiple times every day we would look at the poster to find Ueda escaping his prison and coming unfolded. This was literally happening ALL the time, and none of the other pictures were ever disturbed, so that’s when we figured out that it was Ueda. Sometimes it would only have come unfolded a little, but sometimes he was ALL the way back out.
So then we got tired of this after a while and Liz not a Nightmare poster, so we switched out the one holding the KAT-TUN one up. Ueda REALLY didn’t want to stay hidden any more, so Liz folded him back again and then taped it so he couldn’t escape. XDD
The ghost was completely silent for a few weeks, no more escape attempts, no more footsteps, nothing. But then the other morning, Liz heard him clearly again walking around and rustling things, so she told me later that night and I was making fun of her again because I had yet to actually hear the thing.
UEDA EXTRACTED HIS REVENGE ON ME!
Sometime the next morning I was woken from my sleep by a CRASH that was the strip of six shitajiki I have hanging on my closet crashing to the floor. I groaned, crawled out of my futon, straightened it out on the floor, and went back to sleep. But when I woke up a little bit later, to my SHOCK AND HORROR, two, count them, TWO of my picture strips hanging from the wall were half falling down and all crooked and all, and I SWEAR they weren’t like then when I woke up because of the shitajiki, and neither of us heard paper rustling as they went all crooked and wonky. HE ATTACKED YAMAPI AND NEWS JUST TO GET BACK AT ME! XDD
So I will no longer ever doubt that Ueda-Ghost exists. This morning he went back to pestering Liz, knocking the strip of naked!MatsuJun off of her closet and then ESCAPING HIS TAPE AND UNFOLDING AGAIN. I swear, that boy is determined to escape! XDDD
And this morning he struck again! He escaped again, MAJORLY this time. I got up to go to the bathroom at about 10, and then went back to bed. At about 11 my roommate this weird noise and I looked over only to find that Ueda had escaped! Not only had he come untaped and flattened out again, but the entire right half of the poster had flipped around so that you could see half of what was on the back. The funny thing is that I wasn't that heavily asleep, and the poster is like six inches above my roommate's head when she's sleeping on her futon, and neither of us heard a thing.
It's like magic!
Silly Ueda-Ghost.
