sanity chicken would be a good band name

all right fuck it
i was trying to avoid being That Crazy Person
but clearly everyone else is doing really well at sanity chicken
all edging around the topic or not bringing it up
or possibly it not being an issue for the majority though i am PRETTY fucking sure i can confirm it happening for at least like
nearly ten people maybe i dont know
so im just going to commit to my role as the crazy conspiracy theory guy
get me a whiteboard and some string you all
im ready to mark it up
wave goodbye sadly to my good name and all that
watch it circle the drain as i dump it in the toilet and watch it flush away
so anyway here we go

raise your fucking hand if youve had a very vivid hallucination of some sort
that felt super real
since you got this app
about a thing you definitely never remember yourself doing
also if youre going to go dave you sound like youve lost it
at least link me something entertaining off the internet to add some spice to what is sure to be a pretty common response
it isnt like yo remember when horses were a thing makes any of us sound any less ridiculous
so
admittedly i guess i could sound crazier
theres like a scale here
shit i should make a scale ill do that later
anyway

raise your hands or dont
go

Oh! I thought for sure it was just me! Yes, I did see something. A tower... I think it was a radio tower? It was very tall. But I can't find such a tower on the lists on Wikipedia.

...And the tower was supposedly mine.
rosettareflected: (That doesn't sound right...)

Evidently? Someone was taking me up to the observation deck, and said I didn't have to wait in line to get in because it was my tower. He seemed very put out that I wanted to wait in the first place.
rosettareflected: (How terrible...)

That's the sense I got. It wasn't a very complex memory, I don't think. Someone... drove me? And they definitely escorted me up. I don't want to speculate, but perhaps I was inspecting it? But with so many people there, I can't help but feel that's not right. But if it was MY TOWER, I guess I can do that whenever to keep them honest?

...The line was out the door, though. I didn't see inside, but there had to be hundreds of people. Maybe a thousand, given the scale of the building.
rosettareflected: (What was that?)

It could have been new? Oh, it was the observation deck we were going to. As tall as the tower was, I'm certain the view would have been amazing...

...the only other piece of information I got was advice from a girl I knew, that I called a friend. Something like... waiting in line builds excitement? I don't know, it seems terribly normal but it isn't like anything else that's happened in the last two weeks has been.
rosettareflected: (That's a fine line.)

I certainly... well. I'd like to see more, but at the same time, this memory isn't mine. It's someone else's, right? I'm not Japanese and don't speak it, and I don't own a radio tower. It inherently can't be.

And yet... I want to know. Context would help me understand what I'm seeing, much as I'm sure it would for you. I want to know who this girl's friend is that's making her stick to her values despite being able to do more or less whatever she wants.

I'm kind of torn about everything that's happened, honestly. I feel like I'm in a little over my head.
rosettareflected: (I wonder...)

[personal profile] rosettareflected 2017-02-17 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
That's not wrong. I've gotten pretty far by just trusting in my instincts, so... perhaps I'll just have to keep going in that fashion.

...I'm not. You're right, and that's something I need to keep in mind. I have people I can turn to, that I can depend on. I just need to remember to DO that when the chips are down.

Sometimes having something to cling to can make all the difference when your world is upside-down. That's what I'm counting on.
