I really think I have direction dyslexia. Its very frusterating. I obviously need to invest in a compass. I think alot of it has to do with not paying attention too. I've always got some silly thing going on in my head.
I appreciate all the compliments. I started off just telling about my experience. It was so bizarre I felt I had to share it with someone. As I was writing, I kept inadvertantly switching over to 1st person. That's when I realized it sounded like a story. So I wrote it like that.
I've written a couple of other things like this, one being the experience of getting a massage at the YMCA. That was a freak fest. The very odd masseuse had the hair and glasses of a middle aged woman, but looked about 19. Their were little slips of paper stuck all over the walls with positive affermations written in a childish script. (I am a good person, people like me, ect.) And her nose whistled the WHOLE time! There was alot of other bizzare stuff. I felt like I was hallucinating. It was so weird.
Another I wrote was about a twilight zone-like dream I had where I called home and my Dad answered the phone. After I hung up I realized, hey, he's been dead for 15 years! Then I turn over my phone and there's no battery in it. Of course there was alot more to it, it was a rainy night, I had a flat tire, ect. I just can't remember it all.
I wish I had kept both of those, but they were just emails I sent to people telling them about an experience I had. They really went on about them, but I didn't really get why. I was just telling what happened. I never thought of myself as a writer because I can't make up stories. But I do like to describe the weird experiences that are my life. Maybe there's a writer lurking in me somewhere, I just need to find the right context. As an insanely avid reader, I find that thought intriguing. (I always have a book going, right now I'm reading two).
