Day 1: Alone

Right. Shouldn't be writing so late at night, but since I'm leaving for Washington soon... I didn't want Doti to be too ahead of me. Eheh. Just a warning as to how rambly this might turn out. So, first question. I was actually surprised as to how many of the things I do, Doti does as well. But I won't say which they are. Don't want to sound like an old record skipping.

I've decided (yes, me, so listen up) that you are most alone when you're in the bathroom. Not just when your doing your business, but when you're getting ready for work or school, or making a mad dash to the nearest toilet to fix your cosmetics. Stuff like that. Because once you're in there, it's sanctuary. Just you. No one's allowed in. Sounds kind of silly, I know. But I have a feeling you'll know what I'm talking about. Anyways.

When I'm alone (in the bathroom, yes) I inevitably end up in front of the mirror. I'm a girl. A teenaged one. Blah is all I've got to say about that. So, bathroom, yes, ramble, mirror, there I am. In front of it. And what do I do after (or while) I've primped and plucked?

I talk to myself, that's what.

And, yeah, it's sometimes as funny as it sounds. I'll go over conversations I had that day, the faces I made (ooh, the faces), how stupid I was, how clever, what the hell was in my teeth, why didn't anyone tell me... All that stuff. Then I look in the mirror and I think, "Crazy," and I look away. Only to look back again a couple minutes later with new things to primp and new things to talk about.

So those are some of the things I do when alone.

One: Make funny faces. Like :O and >:/ and 8D. Yes. Just like that.

Two: Talk to myself. "You know, in a certain light I'm almost pretty, but then I flip the lamp switch on..." or, "He talked to me today," and then, "I talked back!" which always leads to, "... God, I'm such an idiot..." Yeah. Normal stuff.

'Three' is something that both me and Doti have in common. Now I kind of wonder how many other people do it, too. Narrate our actions. Or thoughts. Or... well, whatever else there is to narrate. For example, uhhh... "-she whispered aloud as she typed, wondering if her readers thought she was being clever, or stupid."

So, those are the things. That is, some of the things. Well, a small glimpse of some things. Okay. Sleep now before I get too overly rambly.

I'll be back in a week!
