....HYPNOTIC MIRANDA! haha
wow....i know it's early in the day but adam isn't here and brian's asleep and i just had to tell somebody (even if it's just the puter) about the experience i just had being hypnotized....it was hte most awesome thing ever!! at first i didn't think i was going to be able to relax and do it because i was in front of everyone and all nervous and my heart was racing but then the next thing i know i'm so limp my chin is on my chest and i'm swatting at this stupid fly that won't stop buzzing around my head...lmao i mean, talk about freaky!!!! i was under for like, an hour but it didn't even seem like 5 minutes....and at times i would start thinking am i hypnotized yet? is it working? and then i'd feel myself coming out of it so i would focus my concentration on counting myself back down and listening to my professor and i was completely under again....it was like, i was sound asleep but i could hear everything going on around me...and when i awoke i couldn't remember a thing that had happened since my eyelids involuntarily closed...and suddenly i find myself reachign for my left ankle and i stop in mid reach and i'm like, what am i doing? why am i reaching for my ankle? so i stopped...and everybody started dying laughing...and i was like, what? what is it? and then after the prof told me i could remember everything i did! i remembered swatting at that stupid fly and i remembered my arm being so heavy i couldn't pick it up and i remember him saying that whenever he tapped his knuckles on his desk i would grab my left ankle...i mean, it was unbelievable..when i woke up i felt like i'd taken a really long nap and i was drowsy but i felt really refreshed at the same time....and the weirdest part was that it was so easy to fall so far within yourself that nothing mattered except that calm, relaxing voice gently suggesting things you should feel, see, and do--that wasn't even really there! the last thing i remembered when i woke up was him telling me to stare at one spot on my hand and before i knew it the spot was moving, changing colors, and actually disappearing, after that my eyes were so unbelievably heavy that i honestly could not hold them open...okay, enough about that..haha sorry if this bores you all but i mean, it was such an experience! he actually asked me to be part of a research study of pain factors in people that are hypnotizable from high to low (meaning a person's susceptibilityo be hypnotized, 10% of ppl are impossibile to hypnotize, 10% are extremely hypnotic, and the rest fall somewhere in between) anyway, it was an awesome experience.....so, i'll probably write later!
