I used to be woken up by knocking (three knocks) as I was falling asleep. Every night for a couple of years.

Ghosts.

I've been known to twitch while I'm awake. For a variety of reasons.

Twitching is one of the symptoms that I've spent too much time with my relatives.

So the slounging sort of smooths out the wrinkles?

As far as I can tell! When you're slounging, you can make a lot of movements seem like you meant to do that. Like a cat. And maybe slounging does help with all kinds of wrinkles, because I'm still getting carded like a high schooler.

Fandom got you down??

Not at the moment, really! Right now I'm mostly twitchy from work boredom.

After a while, I'd jsut hear the knocks and half wake up and think, "There's the knocking." and fall asleep. One of my friends thought I was totally having a psychotic break, since I was so accepting of it.

shrift, have you read the latest f_w explosion about those people who were deeply obnoxious during a HP gift exchange?

But that's all about sleeping and near sleep. I just twitch. More when I'm lying down, but I twitch. Oh, maybe I could get that profane Tourette's. That's be...wait, no, not cool.

Hmm, I thought maybe you might be deeply relaxed OR sleep-deprived or have PLM, but now I bet it's just ita's crazy body (TM).

Ghosts.

Unles it's ghosts that follow a person around, no. Because it started in Vancouver and continued when I moved back to Nova Scotia. It didn't matter where I slept, it almost always followed me.

You can have dreams as you are drifting off to sleep. I think these were a form of that.

Speaking of dreams, I dreamt that I was in a garden of beautiful roses (no thorns) that had white petals with the edges tipped pink. I was very mad at my cat for waking me up from this garden.

Not that shit again.

Dana, I just got through dipping my toe in that wank. People? Can still be stupid.

msbelle, I'm sorry for mac's tears. I know it has to be hard for you (my own kids' tears hurt me more than anything that makes me cry, myself). If it's any comfort to you, I'll mention that if you'd raised him from birth, he would still experience some tears at some point, over going to school, and separating from you.

My friend who is a pre-school teacher said if she has a student who doesn't, at some point in his first few months of school, cry a bit a being left by mom or dad, she wonders about attachment (assuming it's the child's first time being left somewhere -- most of her students are experiencing their first time away from their folks).

Yes, it was a lovely example of how to be particularly shitty around the holidays.
