Well Murphy spent Sunday and yesterday trying to convince us it's Slender Man that's stalking me (and by the look of it he's moved onto Murphy and Vincent as well). His logic follows that we can't see his face, he wears a suit, is insanely tall and is only seen from a distance. These all fit but then again his source for all this info seems to be Marble Hornets and Everyman HYBRID both of which don't seem all that reliable as I'm fairly sure MH was confirmed as a project and HYBRID attacked him with a baseball bat. Now I'm not saying I didn't enjoy them, I did...I probably would have enjoyed them more if they didn't seem to show a internet legend stalking people in a similar way to us. Though after watching MH I know where the circle with a X trough it is from. I admit that unnerved me a bit as I had never seen MH when I saw and then drew that symbol. For now I'm not ruling out the possibility it's Slendy but I'd prefer to find a slightly more down to earth explanation (for obvious reasons). We haven't seen Creepy since Saturday night though if Murphy is right then that doesn't mean all that much. Also after watching both MH and HYBRID I noticed that Slendy disrupts visuals and audio in recordings so I'm going to keep my music player on at all times in case he does actually do that.
Till next time...assuming there is one

Vincent finally saw him and Murphy is safe
It happened about an hour ago, we heard a knock on the door and we decided to check who it was by looking out Vincents room window and there he at the opposite end of the road and Murphy was at the door knocking madly. I told Vincent to keep an eye on Creepy/Slendy while I go open the door for Murphy, when I opened the door Murphy ran in and up to Vincents room while I dead bolted the door and checked the windows were shut (this was more calming than anything I don't think it will actually help after what happened to my safe room) then I ran up to talk to Murphy.
Long story short Murphy was heading round to say hi and see how I was doing when he blacked out the same time (roughly) as I did and woke up again a few hours ago near Vincents. He saw Creepy/Slendy while he was knocking as well. Murphy is also convinced that this guy is Slendy. They also know about the blog and are currently reading it now.
Murphy is going to explain why he thinks it's Slendy properly after this so we'll see if I believe him, till next time goodnight.

Staying round Vincents
Okay it's been a couple days since I blacked out and I haven't seen Slendy/Creepy at all in those days. Vincent has let me stay at his which I'm grateful for however we both haven't heard from Murphy in about a week, admittedly it's not entirely my fault I didn't try to contact him for a whole week as I only remember a couple days of it but Vincent has tried and can't get hold of him. I'm hoping he's okay and he's just overworked or trapped on Reddit or Tvtropes. Oh yeah, Vincents current gen console broke (not saying which as it may cause a flamewar...I'd have to get comments for that to happen but whatever) however we found an old PS2 and N64 in his attic along with a bunch of games so we're currently re-living our childhoods and trying to ignore the crazy shit happening.

Slender Man, Creepy and Blackouts
Okay so I looked up Googled Slender Man (which if you remember is apparently Creepy) and I'm expected to believe that a Humanoid Abomination that was supposedly created by the belief of the internet is stalking me? Please say that there's a better solution than that, I mean sure the Creepy is freakishly tall and I can't seem to make out what his face is but damn there should be a better explanation than "you're being chased by a being from outside your understanding that will probably kill you". On the plus side I seemed to be still alive and so are my friends and family so that's something right?
Okay it's been 5 days since my last post and what's typed above me was meant to be posted only a couple hours after my last post. I don't know where these 5 days have gone...I didn't even notice the 5 days had passed till I saw my phone and had some missed calls and a couple texts asking where I was and why I hadn't contacted anyone. I'm being to maybe accept that maybe something isn't quite what it seems, though I have had previous experience with blackouts they were only for a couple hours at most let alone a full day. I'm going to see if the hotel still has my stuff and check if I can stay round Vincents place so someone can tell me what happens (and make sure I don't do anything stupid) if I blackout again. Till next time, assuming there is one at least.

Temporary Accomidation
Okay I've finally managed to find an insecure wireless network, I'm currently staying in a hotel not too far away from Vincent. The notebook has proved useful if a bit confusing, it seems to call Creepy "Slender Man" and ever since I saw that it's been bugging me that I recognise the name but I can't place where I heard it. Anyway I found some more of the circle with crosses through earlier on in the notebook so I'm guessing that's where I did them from earlier. Either way I absent mindlessly did a couple while I thinking about Creepy a few days ago, I only noticed after I spotted Creepy in the distance. He seemed to be looking around as if trying to find something, upon seeing him I ran the fuck away to Vincents house for a bit before eventually heading back to the hotel. By this point he had left and I couldn't see him but I had the feeling of being watched. The next morning I had an idea and went out to a openish space and drew another circle/cross thing and looked around, Creepy hadn't turned up. That was 3 days ago and I've still yet to see Creepy.
So yeah, I'm still alive and haven't seen Creepy in a while, though I'm going to do a quick search of "Slender Man" while I have internet. I'll try to post again soon

Dropping out of contact
I'm going to probably be out of contact for a while, I need to find somewhere new to live and internet is probably going to be the least of my worries.
Basically about 4 hours ago someone broke into the house, it was just a guy in a hoody trying to grab some stuff. This wasn't so bad as once he saw me standing there with my mace in one hand and crossbow in the other he legged it leaving behind a notebook with money in it and some random scribbles. Anyway I locked the door, headed up to the safe room and brought the notebook full of money with me, set up the deadbolts and started counting money. This guy had about £1K on him (I'm going to guess money from other people he robbed/mugged tonight) but that's not the interesting bit, the guy had sketches of Creepy in it and stuff like "HE COMES!" and the such (you know general bringer of doom crap). Anyway I was a bit freaked out by this but whatever I decided I'll look at it and try to figure it out in the morning.
Next thing I know I wake up with the notebook in my hand and a pen in the other and there's a new sketch of Creepy that wasn't there earlier, along with a couple circles with "X"'s through them no idea where the fuck they came from but it looks like maybe failed attempts to sketch Creepy's lack of face. Anyway as I'm wondering what the fuck is going on I look up and see the door ajar and the deadbolts are gone, not open or broken just gone.
As I type this I'm packing some stuff, grabbing the money and notebook (may prove helpful in figuring out what the fuck is going on) and I'm heading off. I'm not too sure what I'm going to do, might stay a couple nights a Vincents but I doubt it, Creepy knows where that is. I'm just going to run and see if I can avoid him for a bit.
Until I next get internet, farewell I hope to post a new message soon to let you know I'm still alive but don't count on it.

Creepy
Creepy is currently standing in the stairway to Vincent's house (fortunately I'm already here so I don't have to walk past him to get to the house). Vincent is downstairs making tea for the both of us while Murphy is at work. Murphy should be round in about 3 hours so if Creepy is still there I'll send him a text to warn him or something.
Either way Creepy is at the bottom of the stairway looking up at me and I was right about him. I can't make out a face, there looks like there's a dip where the eyes should be but I can't be sure. Oh yeah remember me telling you guys he was tall? He looks like he's at least 3m tall, the entrance to the stairway is about 3m and he's just outside of it with his head over the top of it. Well he doesn't have a face and is a tad tall, here's to hoping he bend his spine.
I'm sorry I must sound crazy but I swear I'm not making this up...Oh shit, he's gone. I'm going to tell Vincent, hopefully he'll believe me.

Called The Police
Well The Old Bill have finally left, not too sure if they'll do anything though, Creepy hasn't actually done anything to me/my friends/my property so they say their hands are tied but if they find him they'll bring him in for a quick chat to see if he can stop pestering me.
After I my post yesterday I called the cops and told them a pretty tall creepy guy in a suit was staring at me from the church carpark. I gave my address ect. so they could come down and get him but it took them about an hour to get here by which time he had gone. Didn't see him leave though, I thought it would be a good idea not to have dangerous weapons in view when the coppers arrived and by the time that was finished he had legged it. Anyway once the police turned up I may have had...heated words with them as the police station is about 5-10 minutes walk away, they apologised and explained that they got held up due to a suspect getting violent and it took that long to subdue them.
Anyway I told them a brief summary of what's happened (excluding the part about crossbow and the homemade mace for obvious reasons), they asked to see my safe room and to show me from where I saw Creepy. While showing them I noticed that the one in charge was at least mildly impressed by my preparation with his companion seeming a tad freaked out.
It was all going pretty well until I had to give a description of Creepy...that's when I noticed I couldn't really recall what he looked like. I mean sure he was wearing a black suit and was pretty tall but that's about it. I couldn't remember him having hair and he was a tad pale but I have no real idea how his face was laid out. Whenever I try and picture it, it's just blank. No mouth, no eyes, no ears, just a blank pale white face. The freaked out cop went back to the station to set up a report and see if they can spot anyone that fits my rather...sparse description while the one that was mildly impressed stayed behind for a bit.
He chatted with me for a bit and calmed me down about about not being able to remember anything about Creepy, he told me it does happen to people in my situation sometimes. The start to notice the clothes the person is wearing as a way to recognise them opposed to the face, only really happens to people who are stalked by someone who is wearing the same outfit for extended periods of time, much like Creepy does. Eventually he left as well and I came up here to listen to some music to calm me down a bit as I realised that I have no idea what my stalker looks like...

Home Again
I'm back in my safe room again, suppose I couldn't put off staying alone forever could I? Murphy is at work and can't use any sort of leave for a while as he was ill a while back and used up a lot of his sick time and Vincent is out trying to get a job, which he's been putting off for weeks now. I wish I could drag them back but it wouldn't really be fair on them, even more so now that I have defences.
Essentially the current set-up is sort of a mini barricade thing in the hallway, not too hard to get across but it's easy to knock over and it makes a lot of noise as it tumbles. After that we have the 5 deadbolts on the door with my crossbow by my bed and baseball bat/mace sitting next to my desk both within easy reach of either position. I've brought up more bottled water and Vincent had another mini fridge he said I could use so I now have enough ready meals, tins and water to last about a week or so if I can't leave for whatever reason.
Got myself a lot of books to keep my mind occupied if/when I start seeing Creepy The Stalker (like the new name for him by the way? Couldn't really think of anything else) they're mostly Discworld books but they're light hearted and should keep me from getting too paranoid (he says while in a deadbolted safe room) and I found my iPod dock so I can listen to music without having to put on headphones.
Anyway that's pretty much it, I'm still alive and Creepy has yet to turn up for a couple da-spoke too soon. Dammit and things were looking pretty good, I can see him in the church carpark just a little past my garden, I don't know if he knows I can see him. He's just looking around and standing very still, he's still wearing that suit...I'm going to call the police, hopefully they'll do something.

Internet Problems and Enlistment of Mates
Yeah, sorry for not keeping you guys updated on what's happening my internet has become insanely unreliable whenever I try to post something on what's happening and the such. I've finally managed to get some time round my mates house and gathered some more to help me set up my safe room with more stuff and better protection. Oh and to keep things simpler I will now give them names so things don't become too confusing.
My first mate (the one who's house I am at at the moment) is Vincent, he's a good guy and been my best mate since primary school. My second mate who's helping me is Murphy (he's the one with the metal baseball bat), he's generally pretty laid back and has been my best mate for a good few years now.
So anyway I told them what has been happening again and once they saw my safe room they started to take me a bit more seriously. I'm not too sure if it's because they think I really am being stalked or because they think I'm going crazy and want me to try and calm down a bit. I'm hoping it's the former but because I saw someone pretty similar looking a lot about 7 years ago or so I have the fear that, at least Vincent, is doing it because he thinks the latter.
So the 3 of us have been getting some more supplies for my safe room and got round to getting some defences better than my plank of wood and the baseball bat. I now have a crossbow! I'm not too sure how Murphy got hold of it but I don't really care that much as it works and I have some bolts for it and the baseball bat has a bunch of knives taped round the top so it now looks kinda link a mace or something. Either way I now have some semi-decent defence weapons against the creepy guy.
Speaking of which I haven't seen him that often lately, there was a couple times I saw him while we went to a field out of the way to try and get used to firing the crossbow (still need more practice in that area) and when I got home a couple nights ago. What concerns me is that Vincent and Murphy couldn't see the creepy guy when we out in the field...
Vincent's waking up so I'm off, they know I'm making a record of the events and such online but they don't know I've made it public and asking for advice from the internet.

Strange goings on
This has been a weird week and a bit. Long story short I think I have a stalker. Now I'm not too sure why I would have one but it appears to have happened anyway...
It started a couple days after my last post, first it was just seeing this tall guy in a suit around college a lot and I thought that maybe they had an inspector in or some crap, it would be bad timing anyway as the whole place is getting refurbished and looks like hell with boxes and shit everywhere.
Anyway yeah, saw this guy around college a lot but didn't really think anything of it till I saw him a few more times over the course of the weekend, guy was still wearing the same suit so he stood out like a sore thumb when I saw him at the party. Hell the guy was standing by my mates house for a couple hours at one point. I've told my mates but they just think I'm being paranoid again. I tried to laugh it off with them but my heart wasn't in it unlike the time when I thought too much about The Silence from Doctor Who (there could be a corpse of one rotting in your house right now and you'd never know) and the Weeping Angels (seriously fuck those things, they are insane).
Now last night I saw him again by the church near my house, as I type this I'm setting up the spare bedroom in my house as where I'm going to be spending my time whenever I'm alone. So far it has a mini-fridge, a kettle, a couple mugs, a few liters of water in bottles, some food, a microwave, my computer and a plank of wood with a nail through to defend myself with (I really wish I had something better though...I think my mate has a metal baseball bat, I'll have to see if I can get that off him) oh and the door has a a couple deadbolts on to stop someone bursting through it.
Can any of the people reading this think of anything else I could get and/or advice on what to do?

Sorry for lack of updates
So yeah, haven't posted in a bit sorry about that. In my defence it has been a hectic week.
First, Wednesday was filled with gaming and other things with the other half as college was closed due to secondary school students coming in to do a taster day.
Thursday college was closed again due to strike action by the teachers and that was spent playing games on the computer again, though I felt a tad more paranoid than usual for some reason.
Friday not much happened but was stressed and worried about what would happen Saturday.
Saturday my parents met my girlfreinds parents (you can see why I was worried on Friday can't you), thankfully everything went well and nothing went terribly wrong. I also spent most of the day feeling paranoid again but I'm putting it down to nerves.
Sunday and Monday I don't have an excuse for but oh well.
So yeah that's been my week, tommorow and Thursday college is closed again due to secondary school kids again so I might head out tommorow night but I'm not sure been kinda scared to go out after dark recently for some reason...Either way that's been you're update to let you know I'm still alive and gaven't forgotten about this blog.

Life and the Such
So I've got an easy week this week as college is closed Wednesday and Thursday due to strike action and another reason I can't remember (it's also closed next Wednesday and Thursday as well for another reason I also can't remember). So yeah I'm probably going to spend this my new mid-week weekend teaching my girlfriend how to play Mass Effect and probably some Magicka as well. Mostly because they're both awesome games.
As to stuff that's happened since my last post, well I went out on the weekend and got hammered but that's usual for a teenager so it's kinda expected also had a movie night as well which went pretty well. Been having trouble sleeping the past couple nights as well, my cat kept me company though so at least I wasn't bored. Speaking of my cat she's been acting weird recently, well weirder, she's been staring off into space a lot more and refusing to leave my side after dark. Not that I'm complaining about her not leaving me alone as she usually only comes over to let me know she's awake when I get back from college, though that is more than my parents get.
Anyway that's my post done for now, I'll post again hopefully within the rest of the week but don't count on it.

College
So yeah, sorry to the 30 or so people who have looked at this blog since I made it (I'm actually pretty impressed there are that many of you), I'm back to college for another 3 weeks so life has been dull and really annoying to get back into a routine that isn't wake up at mid-day/1pm and go to bed at 4am or so. The first couple days back haven't been so bad though I didn't realise how many of my college mates were second years and have left to go get a job/apply to uni.
New stuff that's happened is I got a new Computing teacher, guy name Danny. He seems pretty cool but then so did my teacher from last year and he turned out to be pretty evil and annoying. My other 3 teachers are the same though so they don't need to spend a lesson trying to convince us they're cool and friendly, by this point we know if they are or not...at least we should do a couple still don't.
Oh and I have a camera! So expect pictures of random crap like parties and other stuff that happens once I figure out how to upload and host some pics. They'll probably just be me and some mates chilling out or at a party. I might be doing AS Photography next year so I might run some of the test pictures through here first if I can be bothered.
Anyway that's been my week so far, more or less, and I'll post again...some point.

The Weekend
So it was my mates birthday this weekend and a huge house party was enjoyed by all, lots of drinking and less legal activities were present. The cops turned up sadly but they only stopped us going out the front of the house unless we were leaving or waiting for a cab, so it wasn't too bad. The less than legal activities were done a lot more subtly when they were around as you can imagine.
I'd say there was about 50-100 of us in total and amazingly enough only 4 people threw up though one of those 4 was another mate of mine so I spent some time looking after him and making sure he wasn't too fucked up. I tried getting the help of the only other guy in the garden but he just stood there and didn't seem to acknowledge me at all. Not sure if he didn't hear me or was just really fucked up though so I left him. Thankfully he was mostly fine and just needed to see his girlfriend and chill some place that wasn't outside in the rain (typical British weather). Anyway he was fine after a bit so I fucked off and got more wasted. I also managed to acquire about £20 of illicit substances for free thanks to a scatty dealer who was almost out of stuff anyway.
So all in all a pretty good night/morning.

Random Crap I Like
Okay then, I'm bored and can't sleep so I'm going to link to stuff I enjoy on the net and give a quick description of what it's about.
First up is every ones favourite game critic Yahtzee (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation). Now Yahtzee 'reviews' games and by that I mean he rips the shit out of them and focuses on what went wrong, he also goes off on tangents which can be pretty funny. Yeah I know the mini description is crap but if you really want to know check him out yourself, this also applies to everything I link you to. Oh and before I forget he updates on Wednesdays.
Next up are Extra Credits (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/extra-credits). These guys look at video gaming in general and how mechanics or aspects of it can be improved and why certain bits of it go wrong. Along with being entertaining they are generally pretty informative as well so it's not just another waste of time as you may actually learn something. Updates Thursdays.
Also on the Escapist (noticing a pattern yet?) is The Big Picture with Movie Bob (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/the-big-picture). Movie Bob also does Escape to the Movies (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/escape-to-the-movies), now in The Big Picture he looks at all things geek and is again pretty informative if you aren't too familiar with that weeks subject, for example I learnt about H.E.A.T (Hal's Emerald Attack Team) in last weeks episode. Escape to the Movies is movie reviews and the such, expect lots of mocking if he doesn't like it and lots of praise if he does with very little mention of its flaws. The Big Picture updates Tuesdays and Escape to the Movies updates Fridays.
Another one from the Escapist is Unskippable (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/unskippable). Not much to explain with these guys, they watch the opening cut scene of a game and mock it. Pretty funny stuff and they update Mondays.
Well there's your daily dose of videos from the Escapist but it wouldn't really be fair just to give their links out I'm pretty sure they get enough traffic as it is, not that I'd add much but I seem to have a few visitors already, so here's some webcomics.
On the comic front we have Questionable Content (http://questionablecontent.net/) which is a slice of life comic with a group of mates and some robots. Got quite a bit of plot while still remaining light and funny (well most of the time) and the art style still hasn't settled yet. Oh yeah and at almost 2000 pages you might have the urge to Archive Binge, go ahead but you can pick up at any point at least I did but that was about 500 pages ago. Updates Monday-Friday
Another one is XKCD (http://xkcd.com/) a geeky webcomic that makes a a lot of science or math based jokes along with a few based no real plot tough it does have recurring characters and the occasional multi-part story arc. Updates Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Finally on the webcomic front Cyanide and Happiness (http://www.explosm.net/comics/2455/). 4 artists doing short strips that generally result in one of the cast dead or injured. Lots of dead baby style jokes so be warned. Updates daily.
Along with those here's a couple sites to keep you interested as well. First up Reddit (redd.it) it has pretty much everything you could ever want. Just make an account edit your subscriptions to various sub-reddits and enjoy.
Next up is Tvtropes (Tvtropes.org). This thing will take over your life, search for a show/game/movie/ect. you like and read the artical it gives you. Now resist opening any tabs to find out what they mean, go on I dare you, done it? Thought not that's why it will take over your life as you open more articals there will be more links to click until eventually it's 8 hours later and you have 100 tabs open...not that I know from experience or anything.
Finally is Drunken Moogle (http://www.thedrunkenmoogle.com/), essentially it's a bunch of gaming based cocktails and drinking games. Enjoy it and try them out they're very nice, updates are a tad haphazard though.
And that's it folks, it's taken me about 2 hours to type this out and I can't be bothered to re-read it for spelling errors and the such so I apologise if there are any. Any way it's kept me occupied, didn't help with getting to sleep but oh well.

Afternoon Internet
(Replace afternoon with whatever time is when you're reading this)
Okay so hello to anyone reading this, which is probably just me to be fair. Any way I decided to start up a blog, not too sure why but whatever. My name is Umbra, well as far as your concerned it's Umbra at least, no way am I putting my real name on the net. I'm a gamer and will probably be updating this with random crap that I do in the day. I'm off college till Monday so you'll probably just get what games I played that day and maybe a drunken post. Once I start college again I'll probably post anything cool that happens there.
Well that's it for now, I'll probably update tommorow or something.
