I went to Tokyo last month w/ my bf. We decided to make an early night of it due to some serious jet-lag after we
checked into the hotel. I woke up at 11 PM their time with no idea who I was let alone where I was. I literately fell
out of bed nose first. I went nose first into the wall. The crunchy pain brought me back to myself abruptly. I stumbled
into the bathroom to find that my nose was bleeding profusely. The noise woke my bf who turned on the light. I explained
that I had a nose bleed, but that I was ok. After washing off the blood, I walked back into the main room pinching my
nose to try and stop the bleeding. I discovered a grizzly scene. Apparently I had been bleeding in my sleep (hence the
disorientation when I woke up or choked myself awake). I bled through two pillow cases and down through the sheets to
the mattress pad. There was blood on the wall where my nose hit.
I don't speak any Japanese so I had to go down to the desk to ask someone to come up with new sheets. Let me tell
that it is an experience asking someone to change your sheets while your holding your nose pinched. It bled for two
hours straight. There was even fresh blood in it the next morning.
Just incase you are wondering, I got it X-rayed last week and I really did break it. I wear glasses so the whole
experience is rather annoyingly painful.
If you would challenge me, then you must first stand before the Darkness. You must look into it and become it. You
must fall before it and then reach out to encompass it. When it is joined to your heart, you must overcome its
insidious temptation. You are ready to face me when you can betray even your own heart in service to your cause.
