Zooming out...or is it in?
I don't know about you but I tend to zoom out when I have a conversation with people.
Don't get me wrong, it's not that it's so boring that my mind floats away...
well, sorta. sometimes people are really boring.
No, just kidding.
I zoom out wheater you're speaking of tapeworms or lifechanging events. Just a bad habbit that I have. My friend compared me to J.D. in scrubs, which is rather fattering. I do like those appletinis.
anyways, it looks like this (now I'm about to illustrate it even though it would be better to videotape it so you get the feeling, but I'm not that technical, those videos I posted on youtube happend by accident).
Random dude: "...so I was thinking about when my cat died, and suddenly I was weeping like a child...."
Me (in my head): "Oh, my gosh, that's so bad...I really love Michael Jackson, why couldn't people just leave him alone. I mean, he loves children, not in that way, in a more lovable, non-creepy way. and the papparazzis, think of princess Di, see what you people do. Lady Gaga is really an icon. She's like Madonna, world breaking and wonderful, a wonderful, wonderful woman..."
Random dude (still talking): "then I when to the graveyard where all my cats are, I fell down on my knees and prayed for healing..."
Me (still in my head): "when you call my name it's like a little prayer, I'm down on my knee I want to take you there...or is it? maybe I should google the lyrics and get the chords so I can play it on my guitar."
Random dude: "but then my mum gave me another kitten and I felt so much better, you know what I'm saying?"
Me: "Yeah."
Two seconds later:
Me: "I'm sorry, what?"
