... felt that you had to walk into the space most valuable to you wearing full body armour, because every time you tried to help you got kicked for it?

 

... sat in your car trying to explain to someone what was going on, between waves of crisis, unable to speak for being caught between laughing, screaming, and crying - knowing each was totally appropriate and meaning each?

 

... read someone's comment, knowing they meant it, knowing it was a good thing, and sputtered wondering where and how they saw that?

 

... deliberately gone out and bought a replacement for something you couldn't find, knowing that by doing so you would then find the original, and found it as soon as you got home?

 

... stared at the screen with your mind so blank that the song playing in the next room echoed in your head? And only after realizing that, wondered why that particular song was playing?

Have you ever argued with a bunny for a half hour before realizing that they weren't really saying anything?

 

Have you ever used a kitty's stummy as a pillow while they purred you to sleep?

 

Have you ever painted your nails 10 different flavors of jelly belly jelly beans?

 

Have you ever randomly started laughing in the middle of a serious discussion about something said the day before?

 

Have you ever unconsciously started humming The Entertainer at the most depressing part of Titanic?

felt the smile stiffen on your face and paste itself into place

as "yes, of course, no problem!" slips between your lips again

while all inside you shrieks and crumbles, leaving only

whispers of "no more no more nomorenomorenomore"

OH! And one from today...

have you ever watched the doc checking over an MRI, and had to hold your breath to stifle laughter as you were suddenly transported to freshman health class and pictures of genitalia?

*snicker*

 

(Mylo says I'm awful, even she didn't think of that, and SHE's the teenager! heh)

Have you ever...

 

Lain in bed not getting up because you couldn't remember who you were going to be that day?

 

Listened in horror as the Wrong Words leaked from your mouth despite your minds saying, "Don't say that!"

 

Been in love with the idea of someone so much so that you were reluctant to meet them in fear reality would destroy it?

 

Focused on and gathered pain so you could transform it into the energy required for action?

 

Felt so drained that speaking was like pushing word-boulders up from deep in your belly, up and over your tongue one by one?

Follow-up: Had to focus on the motion of tongue and lips to prevent slurring?

 

Have you ever accepted your lack of dexterity to the point that you no longer notice the day's bruises on hips and legs from colliding into things?

 

Have you ever wondered where you got a scar you found?

... had someone have a heart attack right in front of you?

 

... stayed up at night listening to the sounds your house makes, just so you'll know which sounds are normal?

 

... had someone drift into your lane and almost hit you - and realize you were only angry about it because you weren't alone in the car?

 

... wondered if putting a full-spectrum bulb in your porch light would make it so you could see rainbows when it rained?

 

... been so intensely thankful for the people who put up with you that "thank you" seems completely inadequate, but you can't think of anything else to say?

Yup :)

 

Have you ever known full well that you were siding with the wrong person, but done so anyway, just to see what would happen?

nope. but...

 

Have you ever been stuck squarely between arguing friends, angering both by agreeing fully with neither because they were both partially right?

Either that, or I refused to believe either of them was right :P

 

Have you ever woken up covered in scratches and/or bruises and been utterly unable to figure out where they came from?
