This post was called Twitter-like Blogging. The original contents are quoted below
1.18 a.m – I’m tired as fuck and I can’t sleep. I just wanna lie down and close my eyes and sleep 50 hours. But I can’t. What the fuck.
1.33 a.m – meh. I can literally see everything flickering. Cubing’s slowed down to 12 minutes. Mind can’t calm down.
1.47 a.m – the human brain is awesome. My room wall just changed colors from grey to purple. And silkrose and another girl is in my room. And I’m blogging. wtf
1.55 a.m – omfg. i hink i lost depth perspedctive. typing is slow as fuck.
The original contents of the blog is quoted above. What’s to follow is written now. Last night was very interesting. I am moving houses, you see. And the day before I had been out in the sun the whole day, and I slept less than 2 hours. So by the end of last night, I was tired as hell. I came home to my old place and tried to sleep at 10 pm. I couldn’t.
But something interesting happened. I felt my brain start to shut down, slowly. And I blogged it… most of it anyways.
I started blogging at 1.18 a.m., and playing with my rubik’s cube to fall asleep. I had the laptop on my chest. I know I was losing concentration, because I did all my F-perms and the OLL (Orientate Last Layer) wrongly, and repeated those mistakes. I thought it’d be interesting to blog my brain slowing down.
By 1.33 a.m., my occipital lobe started to slowly shut down. I could see flickering in my vision. It’s like seeing a movie through a partially broken TV. It’s not the lights because I use ultra high wattage CFLs (according to cfgt, I am obsessed with them). Its like camera noise, to some extent, that I could see. I had to put down the cube.
By 1.47 a.m., I think I started to hallucinate. I could see my wall turning from grey to some sort of purpley pinkey peach (like skin color only more blue). Then I saw visions of Silkrose and another girl. They were like… 4 dimensional… You know how a 2D being would view us? – we’d appear to be constantly moving/changing topologies… same thing happened last night. Silkrose appeared in 3D and kept changing form, contstantly growing thinner, and not moving from the space she was standing. The other girl too, took the form of various girls I know and ended up like a mix of Pretty Swallow and someone else, constantly morphing and changing.
And then I apparently lost my depth perception. That made typing really slow. By then I didn’t even click save on WordPress, and just put my laptop away and tried to crawl away to just lie down. My brain took a while (quite long actually) to adapt to the lack of depth perception (and somehow also the lack of proper shape for things), then, even stranger things happened…
I took my phone up to try to text Silkrose a good night kiss, but somehow I just couldn’t do it. The numbers were all squiggles to me and I didn’t understand them. Add to that, that my phone was constantly changing colors from red to black to blue. My arms were tired as hell, and so I just lay in bed, watching the lights above me. I took some deep breaths and tried to meditate. Then I sort of fell into a stupor – just sleep, comforting and warm.
But if anything is stranger, I woke up this morning feeling perfectly ok, and with a blanket to cover me. Also, my lights were turned off. I didn’t have a blanket when I went to bed, and my lights were still on. Pretty much a dreamless night, except near the morning where I dreamt I had to do some really desperate things to keep the people I love alive.
I guess this was probably due to dehydration and hunger (I forgot to eat yesterday). The last time I saw anything change colors was when I was 14, and was having a fever. But there you go – the power of the brain: the world exists only as the brain sees it.
