Are you sometimes/often/usually unaware of your surroundings?
.
.
.
.
.
I have a fairly well-developed sense of kinesthesia (the awareness of your body's position
relative to your surroundings -- Olympic high-divers have an ACUTE sense of this). It helps
keep me upright, and keeps me from bumping into things, getting into peoples' way, and
literally walking INTO doors and stuff.
.
I'm usually pretty good at survival-mode awareness of potentially dangerous situations.
.
I'm a good and considerate grocery-shopper to a large degree because of this.
.
.
.
.
.
However, QUITE often I have no sense of my normal surroundings -- ESPECIALLY very familiar
surroundings.
.
.
.
.
.
This was never quite so evident as when there was a MrsMiddleFingerMom, I would often come
home to find her waiting excitedly and expectantly (no, she wasn't pregnant). She would look
at me and say, "Well?"
.
.
.
.
.
I would know something was different. Something MAJOR. Something I better damn well notice.
.
.

INSTANT PANIC!!!! (ohno ohno ohno ohno is-it-her-hair-her-clothes-a-new-painting-on-the-

MAYBE I guessed correctly once or twice.

Maybe.

2. On Tuesday I did not notice the haircut.








Eventually I will figure out the punishment.
