My dad walked into my room holding a digital camcorder. I was sitting at my desk, in the middle of a math problem, wondering why in the world he was disturbing my concentration. He stopped after he stepped inside and recorded the room in its entirety starting from the wall with my 2 huge bookshelves that actually cover 99% of the wall, to the corner behind the door with my unused yoga mat, and tennis rackets that I have yet to touch if I have the time.
While doing this he said "We are now in the natural habitat of the species Nurbanus studentus," and then he focused the camera on me. While I had the most unattractive curious look on my face, he zoomed and then he continued, "this particular species generally carries a glum expression on its face and appears tired 97% of the time, the remaining 3% is when this species looks relaxed, and that is when it sleeps. This species has been classified as a Homo sapien in the past but because of major differences in mental, social, and physical characteristics it has been outcasted. Some scientists even argue if it should be classified as a living organism, because it is usually treated as a robot and programmed to do tasks, also called chores."
He turned the camera's focus to my windows which were closed to not let any air in, and covered with thick blue curtains that allowed only 3 ounces of sunlight inside that was for the venus fly trap at the windowsill. He then said, "Nurbanus studentus is capable of sitting for more than 10 hours without the need to budge, alone in a dark room with no sunlight and air which brings scientists to say 'it may have evolved from the early species of Teenus vampirus,' this theory is also supported by its resistance to sleep. Nurbanus studentus feed on food like processed sliced potatoes (aka: chips) that are hidden in their habitat so complexly that only they can find them."
While I was completely amazed at how much research he had done, he concluded his little documentary with the following sentences, "It is still a mystery to us what the future of the Nurbanus studentus will be like, but stay tuned for the next episode where we will go in depth into the organization of its closet, bookshelves, and backpack." He took a last shot of my face which now was twisted into a Johnny Depp-like confused expression, and left the room as if nothing had happened.
Lots of vampire dreams!
