Previously: Doing Something You Dislike? Have You Tried Paying Less Attention?

• Ahh, sorry!

• No, that doesn’t feel true

• Let’s figure that out later

• Whatever this is, it’s too important for now

• [Telepathically] You don’t have to wink, but if there’s a certain winking quality in your tone, that means we both understand I’m not going to remember this

• This is rehearsal, yes?

• I’m forgetting this so that we don’t have to fight about it later, this is my gift to you

• Mom said she was going to wake up me up in time for the early bus I’m pretty sure

• It’s none of my business what I said last week. Your quarrel is with him

• I can’t have forgotten — not this. Not this. No, I didn’t forget — there was a greater forgetting, somehow, elsewhere, external to me, to this body.

• Something feels wrong but without location

• Everything feels slightly wrong in the same way

• Well, no. No. This isn’t real, then.

• This doesn’t count!!! This doesn’t count!

• It wasn’t written down! It wasn’t written down! It was not in the Book, it was not written, it was not in accordance with the prophecy!

• I’m stepping outside of time and space does anyone want anything

• When was anything

• Don’t touch me — if the mother smells humans on my skin she might reject me and throw me out of the nest!!
