I guess while I was waking up, I swear I heard someone walk, in slippers, in the bedroom, around the bed, over to the nightstand (at which point I tried to open my eyes and kinda saw him) and back out of the room. I was too groggy to be able to rouse myself. Then while I was lying there it occurred to me that a) the SO doesn`t wear slippers, b) he wasn`t due home for another two hours and c) neither was the dog inside. So I completely woke up, but stayed in bed listening for a while, but not another peep. I finally did get up, and nope, no one in the house.
Maybe it was my upstairs neighbor.
I have those kinds of hallucinations all the time just after falling asleep. Having them just before waking is common too. Same process although they have different names.

Damn, whenever I read about common passwords, I feel so much better about the ones that I use.
(NOT "Batman." NOT.)
So maybe I was having the caffeine response already and my mind made up the scary to account for it?
That makes sense to me. Even when we are awake, the fear-response happens faster than information about our surroundings can get from sensory input to lighting up neurons. By tiny fractions of seconds, of course, but still, freaky and weird.
Aw, there are 4 more "iloveyou"s than "fuckyou"s. Sweet.

Those people are idiots. None of those top passwords (until you get to monkey, really) are at all easy to type.
That may not be in everyone's top criteria for passwords, I suppose. Personally I hate having a password that's awkward to type.
