"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I frequently mistake the sound of the bathroom overhead fans for the phone ringing at work, but others do as well so I don't think it would count as an hallucination.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

The only time I remember thinking I heard the phone and it wasn't ringing was back in the dark ages when phones weren't portable and I was waiting for a call. I've had hallucinations when my fever was above 102.

Crying kids mainly bother me when they hit that glass-shattering volume that two- and three-year-olds can achieve. I'm much more annoyed by kids that are doing something annoying and their parents are ignoring it. It's not cute when your child decides he wants to push the cart and he pushes it into my leg or blocks the aisle.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I imagine I hear and feel things all of the time. Sometimes, I'm even right.

meara,that is my travel nightmare, hands down. I hope that the glitches are temporary. Safe travels home.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I felt phantom phone vibrations when I went walking this morning. I was using my phone to listen to podcasts and had it in an arm band carrier. A couple of times I could have sworn it was vibrating, but when I checked there weren't any alerts or missed call messages. Maybe my arm band was just too tight.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I don't think I've had the ringing phone hallucination.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Once you're clear of S4 there are no more plot overlaps with their idea and what's onscreen, for the record.

I do not know what this means.

New people started at work today. The idea of someone to take half my load over the next several weeks is awesome, but I am also convinced that it is all part of a plan to let me go.

my brain is very very fun.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I'm in Canada! I ventured out for Thai because I was starving and I have a meeting at 8pm. Right now I'm working on my performance review while also doing work work because I hate writing performance reviews.

8PM meeting sucks. As does fear of losing jobs. I hope it's just actual help msbelle, and not a nefarious plot!

Although the lounge attendants were pretty nice and gave people blankets and eye shades, I still can't sleep . It's now 3:45AM here (or 1:45AM in the time zone I've been in the last two weeks). Yet for some reason I'm just not that sleepy, even though I woke up at 6AM (albeit after 12 hours sleep). I'm mostly worried I'll suddenly fall over right when I need to be getting my ass on a plane--once I'm on the plane I can sleep if I want (or at least try to)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I do not know what this means.

Some of the original plot ideas are played with in S4, but no later than that. So if you were told those plans at the end of the season, it wouldn't spoil you for anything yet to happen.
