LJ Idol Week 19, Mirage

[imafarmgirl]

It’s been a while since I asked a parking meter for directions or tried to carry on a conversation with a lamp post, mistaking them for people. Yet these things happen to me on what seems to be a regular basis. Everything I see is an illusion. It is, all of it, there but also not there. A pair of boots on the floor looks like my cat and I might

Aww, that's very sweet of you to say.

The time of week that voting is done has changed so it's confusing. You can vote now.

[imafarmgirl]

I lied. It's the gate keeper round so a panel of judges votes. Therefore, you don't get to vote this week.

Thank you for sharing what it is like for you. I really never imagined what it must be like...

It's funny, because, as I read this, I thought that it would be easier just not to see anything at all. I can't make sense of color either, but that's because I just don't see it. I don't mistake boots for cats or napkins for food. I may, however, speak to the empty air, thinking someone is present when they're not. Hmmmm. Vision or the lack thereof can be rather amusing and confusing.

That's funny. Most totally blind people I try to explain this to still say I'm lucky to see anything at all. I think in some ways not seeing is easier, and in some ways not.

I've definitely talked to an empty room. I hate that.

I thought you were writing about Alice in Wonderland syndrome for a minute there. ^^ I like the take on the topic. The mirage being inside yourself.

Thank you.

Glad you're in the no-depth perception club, too. Mine is horrible. Still there, but really bad.

Gotta have a sense of humor about this. I really enjoyed reading this.

Who needs depth perception. rofl.
