You know that feeling when you really should be doing something else (like going to bed) but you’re so thoroughly addicted to the SDMB that you can’t resist just reading a few more posts before you go back to doing what you should be doing?
I feel like that far too much of the time.
Every so often, I like to stick my head out the window, look up, and smile for a satellite picture.
Um, all the time.
You know that feeling when you wait sevaral hours before having your first coffee the day; that feels great and then you go and have a superb dump which makes you feel even better? After that you just can’t focus your mind on anything for a couple of hours, even when there are important things you need to do?
I feel like that a lot of the time just now.
You know that feeling you get when you feel a sneeze coming on, your nose is tingling and you breathe in, but it doesn’t quite materialize, and you wonder when the sneeze is going to come back? Or that feeling you get when you’ve had the hiccups and you keep anticipating the next one, but after you stop hiccuping you’re not really sure if the hiccups are gone?
I feel like that all the time.
…and, when I suddenly know where I am, realize that I’ve gone about 2 miles past my destination and have to turn around and go back to where I was going in the first place…
I feel like that ALL the time!
Do not pass Go, do not collect $200. This constant Go-Back-Do-Over is taxing on a soul.
You know that feeling when you sit in front of the TV and there’s nothing good on at all but you also are to lazy to do something else and all the dvds that you own bore you and nothing nothing nothing is interesting you?
If feel like that ALL the time. Well, not ALL the time, but pretty much all. Well, okay, sometimes.
You know that feeling when you have three final exams tomorrow and two papers to write tonight, and you’ve been slacking off all semester anyway so you truly have not got a fucking clue, and you get increasingly pissed at yourself for putting it off and putting it off while you continue to put it off, and then your best friend calls with a free ticket to see Matrix Reloaded, and so you go see that and put it off a bit longer, and then you go home and make a pot of coffee and write the papers all night and then pass out in front of the computer at 6am, and then jerk awake god knows how long later and see that you have exactly enough time to shower and make it to your first final?
Lately I feel like that all the time.
You know that feeling you get when she says ‘It’s okay, you can watch whatever you want’, and you say ‘No hon, go ahead and watch your show’, and she says ‘No, I’ve seen this one, watch whatever you want’, and you say ‘No, it’s alright’, and she says ‘Seriously, it’s okay’, and then you switch to Law & Order and she sighs and you think GOD DAMMIT.
I feel like that a lot.
You know how sometimes after reading a post you’ll look over at the user name just to see who wrote it and it’s not a name you recognize, and you notice that it’s someone’s first post, so you think you can welcome them to the boards, and then you notice that they registered almost one year ago and this is their first post and you go “huh?”
I feel like that right now.
Nacho4Sara! I’ve started two threads about you!!! How are you?
I clicked in here just to see if Steve Wright had popped in. I’m not disappointed.
You know how when you think it’s just going to be gas but a look of brutal horror spreads across you face as you realize you’ve just dumped a load of liquid propane in your drawers? That in a nutshell is my life.
Did you ever dream you took your girlfriend out to Red Lobster, then to a dance club, and finally made beatiful love all night long…
…then wake up wandering half naked on a stretch of interstate holding a canteloupe and a tambourine?
Uh…you don’t?
You know that feeling when you are waiting to meet an old acquaintance after many years, while picking faces out of the crowd you keep wondering, is that him? Could it be that guy? Even though you know that you will recognize him for certain when you do see him, in the absence of certainty you can’t tell whether you’re certain or not.
I feel like that all the time.
You know when you drop something on your toe or boot the table real hard or slam you finger in a door and you realize you’ve got about .2 seconds before the pain gets to your brain.
I feel like that all the time.
Ever get that feeling that your going to find the perfect post but then you see there are three more pages to topic and you don’t want to have said something that was already said so you don’t reply?
I feel like that all the time…
May explain my low post count though
You know that feeling when you discussing something and halfway through the conversation you get distracted and forget what you were just about to say?
…
Uh… what were we just talking about?
You know when you’ve just met an attractive person, and you’re trying to show how smart and witty you are by making some comment, and you realize that it’s actually pretty stupid just as it finishes coming out of your mouth, and you get to enjoy the person’s expression changing from interest to “WTF” confusion in slow motion?
That might explain why I’m single…
You know that feeling you get when the Magical Pixie of Death has started to install a cheese-wardrobe in your forehead, and simultaneously an omniscient water-soluble hat is out-debating you in a conversation about invisible potato science?
If you know THAT feeling, then it’s probably best to leave the mushrooms alone for a while.
You know that feeling when you walk into a room and you can’t remember why you did? I feel like that about an hour after lunch.
