So, I thought I’d do the smart thing today, and take the tablet again, except—instead of the two pill dosage ((they’re like really tiny ones)) I had the other day, I’d take just one today to see what’d happen, expecting it to knock me out cold within a couple of minutes as it had the day before...
Only problem was I’d totally forgotten what a powerful drug this was, because last night, along with all the swaying and sliding and loss of balance—I was hallucinating… getting these funny images in my head that the letters I was typing on the screen in front of me, on the computer, were sliding all of a sudden, and now starting to move from left to right… lol.
Well, I thought I’d figured that problem out by taking the pill only after I’d switched off from the computer and gone to bed last night, and, just after I’d done my wadhu and said my prayer for the evening… you know what, the swaying and motioning had started again, AFTER I thought I’d go to the toilet for my no. 1 just in case I didn’t wake up in the middle of the night… and that’s where the fun begins.
Cos Oh my God, no sooner had I sat down on the toilet bowl (((that’s how you’re supposed to do it, if you’re muslim, although not every muslim does it I’m sure—not me, I never used to, being raised on American culture so much, or Western I should say where you just stand up and pee… but it can get a little messy sometimes if you’re not careful, so in order to avoid any mishaps, you’re taught to sit “down” on the toilet bowl or seat and do it, like the ladies—which I thought was too EFFIMINATE for some reason, but yeah, I’d totally forgotten about it being the better/cleaner/safer option of the two—so that's how I do it now))) and I ended up dozing off right there on the seat, like totally and utterly, and I had no idea what time it was when I’d woken up…
The power had gone-off yesterday night, at about 11 pm, and it’d been coming and going and coming and going for the next hour or so, every few minutes, until it finally said goodbye and left me in the dark for the next hour or four… of course, we have a three phase connection at my house, so sometimes when the current goes in one phase, I have another phase which can be used—so can sit on the computer again after having connected it from somewhere else. Which is what I did and went on to upload a few of my photographs on Flickr. I then shut off the system, went downstairs to have my dinner and take my pill, and then came up to say my prayer and then go to the toilet.
And then the drama started, as a friend of mine would say; I suddenly woke up to see everything pitch black dark in front of me, oh my god, and I had totally forgotten that it had been like this for a few hours now… but shit, where was I? What alien world was I trapped in, where I couldn’t even see anything in front of me, or behind… and then I moved to my left, and THWACK—wall, and then I moved to my right, THWACK—another wall. And this is what I went on doing for god knows how long, going round and round bumping into walls and trying to feel my way out of this maze I was in, Jesus. Was I lost in some other dimension; was anybody ever going to find me again???
And then “I” found me, lol, and I realized where I was, for cripes sakes—only in the toilet just adjacent to the bedroom… what the hell was I so worried about. Whew, that was a close call, cos I’d given up all hope of ever being found again!!! ;)
