Guys. It’s been a weird evening.
First I saw this FB status and laughed harder than I have in months, nay, years.
It’s weird how much I laughed.
Then I laid down for a five-minute nap and dreamed about dead frogs floating in a pond. Sign of the end times?
Then I woke up to discover that I could feel my face very acutely. Like, suddenly I have all these extra sensations in my face. I don’t know how to describe it to someone who has never woken up to this experience. My blinks are extra tender. I can feel my eyes in their sockets. I can feel the weight of my brain.
I did not know what to do with these extra face feelings, so I rocked back and forth on the floor with my head in my hands, laughing. “My blinks are so tender!” I shouted to Doug in the other room. “I can feel my whole face!”
He walked in and watched for a while. “What are you?” he asked. “A liberal?”
This is a joke of ours. Its what my dad asks me whenever I say I don’t want to work for a big corporation, or that there is good in all of us, or that time I suggested there are an infinite number of ways to draw meaning from this life, or when I eat hummus.
Then Doug wondered aloud if someone had slipped me a pot brownie.
I don’t think so. But I did dodge a wet cracker today. I got an e-mail that there were treats in the break room so I went in and picked up a cracker and it was wet. I had to throw it away in front of the person who had brought them and walk right back out. What else is there to do in a wet cracker situation? I wasn’t prepared for it.
Okay. I’m going to go enjoy this face while it lasts.
Anyone else ever felt their brain?

I think I can feel my face? hmmm? Well, I can until I start with the botox. 😉

You may have the flu. Or food poisoning by cracker-based osmosis.

Definitely magical powers. Call me if you also start flying

No other magical powers have come in as of yet. You know the question, “If you could have one superpower, what would it be?” I never would have thought to choose face feelings, but I guess this is my lot in life.

Ah, yes it has. I wrote this around the time of our big blizzard. I never put the two together. Interesting.

Yes, I second the magical powers hypothesis. Your comment about being a liberal and eating hummus made me spit-laugh. Too funny!

Yes, my dad literally asked that when I put out hummus last time he visited. He then proceeded to eat ALL the chips and hummus, not even pausing to speak until it was all gone.

Unfortunately, I can feel AND see my face all too acutely. This is why I bought that liter of tequila from Costco this afternoon. To make me forget.

Hah. That’s one way to suppress the face feelings 🙂 I’d be afraid of how much tequila I’d come home with if I bought it at Costco…
