Mental Health days

[Lace Neil Singer]

I had a moment like that when watching a Supernatural episode for the first time. I said, "That's a tulpa," to my boyf; sure enough, it was. I love moments like that.

sure enough, it was. I love moments like that.

I do that in movies all the time... For instance? Superman Returns, when Lois and her son are trapped in Luthor's boat, being watched by his henchman, and Lois' son is sitting at the piano? And is drawn off screen so we can focus on mobster threatening Lois? I said, to my Mom, "Look out for the incoming piano!" about two minutes before it happened.

I went with my Dad to see Four Brothers, and we were standing in line getting concessions, and I turned to him, and said, "I get the feeling the big twist is it'll be one of the brothers who arranged for the hit on the old lady." And just as I said it, I realized it would be a wonderful way to mislead the audience.
Sure enough? Brother who had control of old lady's insurance scene happens, Dad elbows me in the ribs.

I admit, I didn't figure out the Sixth Sense, but my friend did.

However, I had the Usual Suspects figured out within two minutes of seeing Kevin Spacey.

Ah yes... My favourite was when I had a massive bruise on my hand, every damn day I'd have at least three customers go "I bet that hurt." By the third day of this, I was very tempted to say "Nope, didn't feel I damned thing, only smashed my hand into a cd player.."

soria, you should've said u'd hurt it beating the heck out of an sc (not that i condone that) just to get their reaction.

I always seem to get people saying, "Ooh, you look tired, late night clubbing last night?" *wink* -.- Most of the time it's due to either having to get up at the crack of dawn (I am NOT a morning person) or suffering from insomnia. In any case, I never go clubbing; I hate clubs with a passion.

Yeah, I had that twice. Both times I was actually at a late night fire calls (one was a medical call at about 2am, the other was a large structure fire that I was at for 7 hours - as the relief person for the guy who was there the first 4 hours). One person shut up real quick when I told them where I was at (medical call). The manager who commented to me on the fire shut up when I showed her the Chicago Tribune article about the fire (you know it's a big call when the Trib, national news and the AP are covering it).

Ditto. I have pretty chronic insomnia (which is why I'm not asleep at the moment), so I get the whole "You look tired" and "Out late last night?" thing a lot. The only time I *don't* look tired (other than when I'm on vacation and can sleep whenever I darn well please) is when I've gone out the other side of tired and have settled on 'frenetic'. That's fun

Of course, far more annoying than customers saying that is that my CO-WORKERS would say it, day in and day out! Hello, did you not get the part where I have insomnia?

Particularly since when I have been out at the pub or at a gig, I tend to look elated the next day rather than tired. XD
