I awoke today a different person. And I know why too.
Every nightly routine the same rituals are followed. I lock my laptop (windows key + L), proceed to wash my face and put some delicious acne cream on it, turned on Adult Swim for a brief fifteen minutes, then turn it off and fall asleep with my air conditioner set at "68" and a fan running on "low" in the opposite corner of my room.
But last night was different. For a reason unknown to me, the ritual was broken. Well, one simple element. Instead of falling asleep with my head to the wall where the headboard was on the bed, I switched the pillows to the foot of the bed and fell asleep facing a direction I've never faced before. Before falling asleep the main thought that had occurred to me was how different my room looked in that certain perspective.
When I awoke my whole life was changed. Before today my social life was non-existential. Not because I did not want friends or a girlfriend. If that were true I would have never made that prom blog where help was requested on my behalf to pin a date. Despite so many efforts of people trying to help me I ultimately ignored all help and never went. Why was this? The amount of anxiety and shot self confidence and shyness was to a point where no words were uttered out of my mouth to anyone in school, even if asked a question. There was one girl who did like me (She was fucking ugly, but a girl nonetheless) near the 3rd quarter of my senior year who would sit next to me and try to start conversations. Unfortunately, as much as I wanted to respond or become a good conversationalist, usually nothing came out of my mouth. Later on she would call me the big D-bag while we met walking down halls. She didn't understand that my timidness and unresponsive behavior was not because of the fact that she looked like an elephant, but because I just couldn't.
This was my whole high school life. And although it was a bit painful, I got over it.
My middle school life was a bit different though. I was a social butterfly and dated many girls. People knew me as the most obnoxious, outgoing guy there was. It did not phase me if I dropped my books all over the ground or I came to school with my shirt on the wrong side. And the girls... I knew some crazy girls.
The main difference between high school and middle school was the ambition to get a girlfriend. Girls interested me so much, despite I had no sexual drive to actually fuck them. I did not know what I saw in them... but they attracted me. In middle school I met some amazing girls, some crazy girls, and some more crazy girls. Literally crazy. Every single time there is a conversation with Kennegit and Fantacist my mind goes back to my first few relationships where so much was fucked up. Signals that were not acted upon, care that was not given, and love that was not made. I will never forget my one girlfriend from 8th grade (a year relationship) told me that she just had her period so if we had sex she wouldn't get pregnant. I laughed back then and didn't know what she was trying to tell me. Now, at this very day, I see that she was being repulsive and romantic at the same time. She wanted some. And I didn't give it to her.
Many mistakes were made but at the very least there was the ambition to get girls, and I had the faith in myself to talk to people and be crazy like my personality really was.
Why was this? My undamaged ego, my confidence in my appearance, and my ability to just talk to people was at its all time high. But now that I reflect back to that time I wasn't really handsome back then. I took 15 minutes in the shower a day and that was it. Although now I have some mild acne at the moment, my appearance takes an hour every day to get myself prepped up and enter the store, or soon, college. Why am I not MORE confident today than back then? It was probably my ignorance back then. It didn't bother me if people said that I was a stank bag of shit or a moron. Today it does. This is an internal problem. My mentality is wrong.
But when I awoke today, I'm no longer shy and timid. I feel like my old self, and I have no idea why all of a sudden. My only conclusion is that maybe the way you sleep is a gateway to self introspection. Something happened when I slept upside-down on my bed.
Proof? Whole day I was hyper. I talked to my parents. Conversations were held. Every thought that crossed my mind also came out of my mouth. But most importantly, when I got in the car (just got my permit), instead of the usual screaming "DAD IM GONNA FUCKING HIT THAT CAR", I was smooth, wild, and didn't give a fuck if I was halfway on the other side of the road. When I got home, I downloaded a shitload of Dexter season 3 episodes despite my ISP limited our DL to 100gb monthly and a big portion of that was already used this month. Then I got on MSN and cybered some chicks and pretended I was masturbating to make them think I'm edgy and cool.
I'm not proof reading this because clearly I don't give a fuck. I slept upside-down last night. And I will again tonight. And again, and again, and again. Because I'm no longer shy. Rate this blog a 1 bitches.

I don't know why, but I enjoyed reading this. Keep that positive outlook my man.

Faust i respect the fact that you came out of the closet, and do not think any less of you for doing so. I am proud that you mustered up the courage to do so, and I also hope that micronesia will one day follow in your footsteps and do the right thing. Congratulations, Faust. It's been a long way, but at last the butterfly has erupted from his cocoon and has sprouted great, rainbow colored, wings.

what if by sleeping inversely you caused reality to turn on itself and made your dream world your new reality? would you want this reality to end knowing that your old life awaits you?
dream on upside down boy...dream on...!

Dang, those girls could look like 1000 different people. Why do the eyes identify a person so easily?

LOL! Wow, why is it that most of the population in TL is like this? I never really had any interest in girls when I was playing CS for 5 years of my life, (since we won a lot of major tourneys in 2001) and the only time I had plans of getting a girl for myself when I was 19 to 20 years old?
Hahahaha! and I do understand how it feels to be a douche, I remembered a chick that I spoke to in one of the universities I went in "Hey, is the prof already here" just asked that question and boom! (she was 7/10 btw,) Insta-GirlFriend but is very unfortunate because I'm a stupid nerd whom didn't know what women feels.

If you averaged their boobs it'd be way better. The girl on the left can spare some and the girl on the right really needs some charity.

No it shouldn't even be considered to be streamed because it'd be too much rape.

Well in a way it is. I have confidence back though.
I'm not scared to show my mind and get a possible negative response.
Instead of never saying anything at all, I'm stating my mind. Which is for the better imo.

hahaha.
anyway, i thought this was a very enjoyable blog. good luck with your new/old/rediscovered perspective on life.

It takes me like an hour to fall asleep so I move like 20 times before I finally get it; I never know how I'm going to wake up because I don't remember where I fell asleep. I've only gotten on my back once though.
|
This story is very similar to mine. Except asian girls aren't that crazy. I might try sleep upside down tonight. Wait what's sleeping "upside down" looks like? Laying on your back or sleep like a bat?

Same here.
I'm not sure what happens when I sleep sometimes though, last night I woke up and my sheets were on the other side of the room..
|
I rated the blog a 2 because then you don't get the satisfaction of me doing what you told us to do, and you don't get a good rating incase you were using reverse psychology to make us rate it a 5.
I'm too good for you Faust.
|
Also, I have slept upside down before. It took forever for me to fall asleep and I felt no change in the morning. I'm bored as fuck though, so I'll try it again tonight anyway.
|
You guys know what?
He doesn't give a FUCK.
|
I sleep in different bed almost every night and never feel like a different person =)
|
Not even going to give me credit? Fucker.
|
hhhmmm ima change my bed now

Does that turn you on?

no, cause thats what you can see in literally any club or bar. its just a nice way for girls to express "hey, i'm a whore".

You know you like it.
However, if you really want me to clarify on that...
By crazy I meant LITERALLY crazy. One of my ex-girlfriends was schizophrenic.

hi faust
to add a little more... this was actually interesting to read. I've switched up my sleeping position like you did quite a few times but I haven't seen any special changes. >.< maybe im doing it wrong.
|
Yeah I've slept backwards sometimes, tends to be really comfortable. My mom said when I was young I'd go sleep in her bed and that I'd turn like a clock hand throughout the night.
|
this was a really entertaining read 5/5
I hope you keep this positive perspective.
|
I woke up with my head and pillow at the foot of my bed today (I went to sleep the correct way) and I have no idea why and no recollection of moving. Then, when I read your blog this morning, I realized that this is such a coincidence that it must be a sign. After reading your blog/boring-life-story and analyzing the interpretations of this coincidence, I'm pretty sure the sign is that I'm a natural with the ladies and you're nothing but a poser trying to be cool.
|
Faust, in all seriousness, I hope you're not superstitious about this whole bed thing. It changes nothing. A few experiences and coincidences is not a sign that your life has changed - you have to make consistent results before you can claim that your life will never be the same again. You got to see 2 girls make out at some point? Welcome to being in a group that has the majority of the male party-going population.
"Then I got on MSN and cybered some chicks and pretended I was masturbating to make them think I'm edgy and cool."
What the fuck is wrong with you? Maybe my definition of "edgy" and "cool" is different from yours, but I think that the act of cyber sex and pretending to masturbate to impress a girl has so many things wrong within it... I honestly hope you were kidding, because I can't tell - although I don't think I can I believe anyone would say that seriously.
I guess you need to listen to Kennigit or myself a bit more :/

i was cool and edgy while reading this thread
|
I am pretending to be masturbating to this
|
after reading the title I thought this was going to be about turning into a vampire.
|
that was really good writing, like it would make a good short story. the premises i mean.

Classic hypomania. Don't worry, you'll be back down into the good ol' pile of shit soon enough, once the mania passes.

Since I have a california King I sleep all different directions in my bed. It's no different. Feng shui is bullshit

Is there any way to induce hypomania?

Maybe you finally had good blood circulation in your head while sleeping. Did you ever have a discomfort in the back of the head or morning eye bags? If you really didn't do anything else other than changed the position you sleep in, it's the most logical explanation to me.

I enjoyed this thread, it was a good read. Faust you are a strange strange individual though.
