Oh good lord.
Momo in today's strip reminds me so much of one of the creepiest things any of my friends has ever done. Well okay maybe not the creepiest, but at least in the top ten.
I had a flatmate in college who was a bit. um. Well we used to say he was "wound too tight" because he was always over-stressing over whatever came up. Anything that happened was a major crisis.
And then at the end of the semester there were final exams. We got one week between end of classes and start of exams, just for review and study, and he DID NOT SLEEP for the entire week. More caffeine. More books. More practice problems. Writing in the dead of night. etc. Sometimes he was waking me up in the night to talk about the material from the classes we had together, until I told him rather firmly not to.
So he took his exams (I never found out whether he did well or badly on them) and came back to the house, and still couldn't sleep. Of course this was another major crisis. One that kept him awake nights.
Until a few days later he wasn't there in the morning, and then I got a call from the police.
He had gotten arrested because he had been breaking into the homes of total strangers to watch THEM sleep.
He wasn't still in school the following semester.
