I'm Getting Sick Of This Crap

This "Gypsy Child" is getting on my nerves. I don't buy his fortune teller schtick. "Excessive power"? "Shallow overindulgence"? "A leader directing others to their end"? What a load of bullcrap! I'm sick of all of this. I'm being left with more questions than answers, and I just want to go back to living a normal life. I want my dog back, I want my girlfriend back. I want to go drinking with my buddies again. But because of that faceless creep in a business suit, I can't do ANYTHING! I need answers.
My thoughts keep going back to the DVD and the journal. Who does the coded journal belong to? Who is Benjamin Skinner? What does the New Creation Coalition have to do with me?
....The DVD mentioned something about North Hartside. That's not too far from my home. I'm gonna look into it.

Predator and Prey

Dang it, dang it, dang it.

Sorry for the long delay. There have been.....issues. I decided to leave the country for a vacation, took a plane to Tokyo. Yes, I got to live out every otaku's dream. Old Faceless wouldn't hate me enough to go across an entire stinkin' ocean just to harass me, right?

Wrong.

I somehow ran into a Japanese gang dring my holiday. Not the Yakuza, per se, but it might as well of been. There was a language barrier in effect during the attempt to mug me, so things were going nowhere.

The muggers pulled out knives, and I thought it was lacy gently wafting curtains for moi when I found out something:
Slender Man's been kicking around Japan for a while now. Except he's not called "Slender Man" there. He's called "Noppera-bo".

I just can't catch a break, can I?

Going AWOL

I'm leaving. I'm packing a suitcase, I've put gas in my car, and I want to go somewhere, anywhere, anywhere that's not here. I can't take another hour of staring at his eyeless face through the glass door. I'm getting the hell outta here. Sayonara, Stone River.
I've wanted to take a vacation for a while now. Maybe I should go to San Francisco, or Vegas, or New York City. Somewhere crowded, where I can hide myself amongst the mundane, amongst the Ignored. Somewhere that doesn't have many trees or forests.
John Leon is going on holiday.

Trapped In My Own Home

I haven't slept for 40 hours. Slenderman's been lurking outside my house for hours on end lately. He's planning something.
I want out of my house.
I can't take being locked up in here.
Skippy's still missing. Gloria moved back in with her parents. She's scared.
I hate my life.
I hate him.
It's all his fault.
He's trying to making me suffer.
Why? Why me?
He hates me. I just know it.
He wants me dead.

What is the meaning of this intrusion?

As you can see, I've been hacked. I want to know who cracked my account, and what the fuck they're saying. And this guy has messed with my Blogger faves, too! I've never heard of the Tutorial....but....
could this help me? Is this hacker trying to help?

....I'm completely lost.
