Why?

So, I heard it again last night.
Whisper dived under the covers shivering (but then he always does when it's cold, and that was probably the reason I woke up itfp), Mia was barking (irritating creature), so obviously something was up, and I kind of didn't go outside and check it out. Idiot or what? And of course Tegan's comments about watching "you while you sleep. watches lovingly" ("He watches you as you sleep. Watches lovingly... Hek, hek,hek. Enjoy your" 'Elmo', 'Tegan') the first time around didn't exactly help with the whole confidence thing, as I already have spirits stalking me (oh, the joys of an indigenous family), so naturally I wasn't going to go outside during the witching hours (They wouldn't like it, and I'm quite unco anyway. Dark plus me equals ouch).
But, a few questions, if they're reading this (No, not the spirits. You know who you are. It's just that I don't, quite).
Why here? Is it me in particular? Why? And, more importantly, why not...
And I wonder if I do eventually move to Scotland, change my name to Sarah Evans, and take over the earth with flying chimpanzees (they're smarter than monkeys).
Well. Enough of my ramblings. I have numerous science/biol tests to fail tomorrow. Have to study now. Unless a miracle happens (hint, hint).
