In the last two or three weeks, my self assigned project has been Mindfulness a la e2, a surprisingly complex business that has included a surreal amount of time on wikipedia and quite a lot of diagrams

Going from total ignorance of the functioning of the body to being observant/mindful is amazing. Like gaining a new sense.

Fucking weird is right.

What's the wonderland business?

It's this alarming and vaguely disturbing touch hallucination thing that was totally random and uncontrollable for a good part of my childhood- except that it always occurred when I put my head on someone's shoulder or vice versa, which made me really, really twitchy for a while.
Then I realized it had very obvious triggers and that I had just been ridiculous and unobservant for the previous decade! Very exciting.

Interesting. Most people seem to have cool shreds of synaesthesia like that.

Not so much cool as terrifying, and not so much shreds as attacks- but yeah, it seems like it.
