Screaming Girls Saturday, Jul 31 2010

My sister is having a slumber party…yeah…not.  That means I’m hiding out in the kitchen with only my laptop for company.  I’ve been running around saying “All the poppity corn!” the entire day.  I’ll post a video and you will know why.  I feel as if I’m wasting my life, as well.  I blame it on the pretty piano music I’m listening to.  Well, I’m also kind of wasting my life.  Or I feel like it.  Everyday is the same:  I’m extremely bored and I hang out on the computer, wasting precious time.  I know I have writing, but I only do that a couple of hours a day.  What about the other hours?  I need to do something that gives me a sense of purpose!

And those are my thoughts for today.  Touching, I know.  I need to check into an insane asylum.

Jar of Hearts Saturday, Jul 24 2010

Hey crazies!  Have you heard Christina Perri’s song “Jar of Hearts”?  It’s spectacular!  Of course, when I listen to the song, I can’t help thinking of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  There is an episode where everyone lost their voice.  These creepy guys called The Gentlemen, went around and collected hearts in jars.  The only way to defeat them was to scream.  Hard to do without a voice.

Anyway, I’ve been doing some research on asylums I wish to visit.  I found out that a historical society actually provides tours for their asylum!  Look!  Real progress!  We’re saving history!  I’m  going to see if I can get a tour because that would make my day.

Before I go, crazies, I want know who actually reads this blog.  So, I have questions for you guys.

-What do you think of the blog so far?

-Any suggestions?

-What do you want to see next?

-Any asylum questions or stories?

Please answer these questions in the comment section below.  Thanks!

Counting the days… Wednesday, Jul 21 2010

…Until I visit my first abandoned insane asylum!  Actually, I might visit more than one, knock on wood.  The area where I am going has a lot of asylums….which is kind of weird….but it benefits me!  I may even see if I can get permission to go into one.  This might be hard to do, but some inside pictures would be worth the trouble! 

 Here’s a tip, my little crazies:  Abandoned asylums are patrolled by cops because they attract odd people.  For instance, at Byberry, they’re were reports of cult meetings.  So, if you want to get up close to an asylum, you will need permission to do so.  Don’t just sneak over there at night.  Not only is it dangerous, but illegal.  These asylums are private property.  Also, some asylums, like Byberry, have “death-traps” and asbestos.  Death-traps?  Well, at Byberry (my favorite asylum), there were these rooms with heavy doors.  When people walked into the room, their weight on the floor would trigger something that closed the door.  They would not be able to open the door back up, and they died.

I wish I was rich….. Tuesday, Jul 20 2010

….Because then I could buy up all the asylums before they are knocked down.  Looks like I’m going to have to find someone else to do it for me.  Would you guys be interested in going a museum about asylums in an actual asylum?

Of Asylums and Things Tuesday, Jul 20 2010

Welcome to my blog!  I’ve had all of two blogs before this one, and they were complete fails.  In the first one, I recorded my new life and a new town.  I ended up boring myself to death.  My second one had some stories I had written but they weren’t very good.  But now, I have this blog and I can see it going places.  This blog is dedicated to my asylum adventures.  My current goal in life is to visit as many abandon asylums as I possibily can.  I will post pictures of my journeys as well as post information about asylums in general.  It’s going to be a fun and eerie experience.  Care to join me?
