Well, I had a dream where I was a character in some sort of Celtic fantasy novel fleeing from bad guys (but hey, we had a bard, so we were unbeatable). Then later I saw a hyena (or something that looked like one) bolt through my backyard, and then I was back in high school -- except it was now in a tower -- and getting sick. But I didn't want the teachers to know, because I knew it would create a hassle. Which is totally how I would think, when I was little. I was mortally afraid of having to go home sick; it meant having to make up classwork!

Yet another episode of "Am I the Only One Who Does This?"

The scene is in some smaller setting, such as a small classroom or boardroom or even a face to face conversation. Someone is in the front of this smaller-sized room (or right in front of me), speaking. And, it may be because I already know the information, or it could be that they just are boring, but I can't focus on what they're saying. However! I want to be polite, so I'm looking at them intently.

Specifically, I am watching their nose. I am noticing that as they speak, the tip of their nose bounces up and down a tiny bit, apparently unnoticed by everyone else (including the person owning the springy proboscis). I am trying very hard not to grin.

Presenter: "So you see" [draws picture on board] "if we look" [bounce, bounce] "at it" [nose does a little mousy shiver] "from this" [big jump] "angle..."

Me: [quiet croaking of a surpressed laugh]

Reality check. The funny thing is, no one notices this, but EVERYONE I've looked at does it. Try it next time you're bored... you'll see what I mean.
