(Help the nurse, I mean.)

I have knocked out a nurse.

don't feel bad

leaving hospital and my mobile phone rang:

me: yes?

them: how are you?

me: oh not bad, I'm coming home

them: it's probably not a good time to tell you this, but your cat died

(long pause)
me: um, I see

then I hung up

realising I didn't have a cat, I rushed back to the hospital to swap phones (I had the wrong patients phone with me!)

now their mother thought they were coming home but actually they weren't.

ooops

When I was at first school, and maybe also into middle school, I had a wild imagination and would make up the most ridiculous stories.The worst past is I actually expected people to believe them!

I told my parents and brother fake made up things that happened at school and playgroup mostly. I told the teachers fake made up things that happened outside of school. Of course most of it they didn't believe and obviously my mam and the teachers talked to each other and found out that other things were lies.

I have no idea why I did this. Only thing I can think of is that I needed an outlet for my wild imagination and this was all I could think of at the time? But I did draw a lot back then so why didn't I just use that as an outlet for these stories?

first time practicing CPR on a paromedic and making him bleed from the nose

his first reaction: why all this blood?

my reaction: what am I doing by his nose in the first place?

a few weeks ago, I saw a baby girl with her mother.

the mother had tried everything to calm down the little one, but she was howling

I approached and simply made a face like a princess, and she just beamed

she loved it, and the mother was stunned I managed to calm her just like that

I remember one of my X friends, anna, had a really late night

she was on the sofa nest to me really trying to stay awake, but she kept drifting in and out- and you know sometimes people talk in their sleep?

she was like... oh all I want is a rabbit, please let me have a rabbit, and she started stroking the arm of the sofa thinking it was a rabbit

I told her okay, you can have a rabbit, and the peace that came to her face.... it wa so nice

going round to a friends house for a spicy Mexican dinner, and spending the majority of the evening in the bathroom

I was so embarrassed, because it was meant to be a real fun night

what was worse their was some sort of insect in the toilet and it kept buzzing round me

In my mid teens I made this little "doll" (dont know if it could be still called a doll when it was a man) from fabric in the art room at school and stuffed with cotton wool. I made it at home though, because I was embarrassed. I used to take it to school sometimes but then I was worried I would lose it, so I stopped. I don't know what happened to that.

When I was younger I used to say really stupid things I thought were clever, then people would tell me off for being stupid and tell me "you're not clever". Now I just keep my mouth shut because whatever I say will be wrong. Others will look at me strangely and tell me I'm stupid or "not clever", though I don't try to be clever now. But it's just pointless bothering to say anything. It's easier to stay quiet and ignore people.

One time when I was about 12 I was in a shop with my mum, gran and uncle. My uncle made a joke I thought was hilarious but my mum and gran hadn't heard so I kept repeating it to them. They totally ignored me as usual, and eventually I gave up, got annoyed and embarrassed at the same time. So if nobody says anything, they will at least ignore me. Which is embarrassing.
