The sorts of things I ponder

[oakenguy]

A couple years ago, I took a flight. I don't remember what the occasion was, exactly, but I remember I was so tired that I zonked out almost as soon as the plane took off, and didn't wake up until we landed and people started gathering their baggage.

I remember this so distinctly because of the look on the face of my seatmate as she got her bags--whatever I'd done, I'd amused the HELL out of her. And maybe I'm imagining things, but a couple of the flight attendants were trying to stifle grins as I went past.

Every now and then I find myself wondering what exactly I *did*.

The fact that I'll never know is a little frustrating. And I'm a little embarrassed at the thought that I apparently put on some sort of little show in my sleep. But on the other hand, the smile I got was the best response I've ever gotten from a seatmate on any trip I've taken...and, not so coincidentally, it's the only one I spent totally unconscious. If I look at it that way, maybe I should forget this "performing" thing and just sleep in public more often.

ooo...performance napping! The ultimate in cerebral entertainment.

I've been told that I talk in my sleep. Not necessarily in actual words, but with a cadence and intonation that you're just SURE if you listen long enough and hard enough you'll be able to understand me. I just wish someone would record this for me some day.

Oh that was you I was sitting next to! Wow, I've never heard quite so bizarre an erotic dream detailed out as that. but I never found out how the capuchen monkies covered in chocolate sauce figured in.

If you do sleep in public, just be sure to tie a tip jar to your wrist and leave a sign up that says "PHOTOS $1".

It's because you are made of "the cute" and it was unfettered while you were unconscious

Perhaps you could get free flights by billing yourself as an "in-flight performance artist" or "installation".

Dude, I bet you had a sleep stiffy.

I totally misread this as "just perform in my sleep in public more often." *weg*
