Static Electricity
I don't like static electricity. Every time I get out of my mom's car and close the door, I get shocked.
And when I reach for door handles and light switches I sometimes get a jolt.
Well, last night, I was trying to fall asleep in my bed. Then I realized that I might not have locked the door. So I got up in the dark and put on my sandals. As I reached the ground, I felt a bit of a shock so I thought that I must've gathered up some static from my bedsheets and transferred them to the ground.
So I go to reach for the handle, feeling for it in the dark. And suddenly, I blue spark formed between my finger and the handle! A bright blue spark.
Just to put it into perspective: 1) It was pitch black and 2) I did not have my glasses on and I'm almost blind without them.
It was kinda cool, had there been no pain.
On another note, some guys moved a desk and a couch into my hallway. The hallway is narrow enough, now I have to walk around these things.
