Chapter 11, Page 12 Not at home

The person to whom you you are speaking has been temporarily disconnected.

What I remember is blinking and seeing my sisters making the strangest faces at me. Apparently they'd been trying to get my attention for some time. Dreaming with my eyes open? Stranger things have happened.

I've always found that the beginning of a Quest focuses all my attention... pretty much.

So, I understand.

Or more embarrassing things...such as the time that I had the wino interrupt the "conversation" I was having with myself (actually going over some dialogue for a story idea, verbally) so he could try and beg some change off me...

@Tenacious-K: Isn't it, though.

@Dan: Seriously? Wow. I can't think of anything else to say but, wow.

@ Naomi: Yeah. Wow.

Apparently, I've been known to fall asleep in TOK with my eyes open. So much to the point that my teacher nicknamed me Rip (after Rip Van Wrinkle).

Then there's that time I just...froze while I was writing my notes in Geography. My pen was positioned for writing, but I was frozen in that position unable to move. It wasn't until much later that I heard my classmate call me in a faint voice and I felt a bit of drool on the corner of my mouth.


On top of that, my watch stopped, making it seem like time had stopped. I don't know what it was to this day. It might have been like a petit mal.

Brigid said...

@Journo: Wow. Weird. Temporal displacement, maybe?

Journo-SEAL said...

@Brigid: You mean like time-travelling? 0_0

Brigid said...

@Journo: Not exactly. More like disconnecting from the flow of time.

Journo-SEAL said...

@Brigid: Whoa. That would be so boss.

Brigid said...

@Journo: Yeah, if you can get used to the dizzy feeling.
