Second Post.

Driving home last night I realized that sometime when I switch lanes and use the turn signal (like a good driver should), I get hypnotized more often than not by the clicking sound the turn signal makes. It even happens when I have music playing loudly in the car. The clicking just blends in with the music even though it's not set at any specific rhythm.

Have you ever played that game in the car? Where you try to match up your turn signal with the turn signal with everyone else's car?

They always match up once every few seconds. It annoys the shit out of me.

But I digress.

Sometimes I'll have my turn signal on for blocks at a time and then when I realize it's on I wonder how long it's been on, and what happened those last few blocks. My drives begin to turn into time travel where time goes by and suddenly I realize I'm home and I don't remember the drive at all.

I'm normally very observant of my surroundings, but I guess driving the same route for 12 years starts to look boring and you just begin to zone. Driving home from a familiar place has become muscle memory now. I'm pretty sure given the chance I could drive home with my else closed and get home safe. My body is a robot taking it's host(my conscious self) home.


I think I'm going to try to find new routes home, I'll probably never take them again but change once in a while isn't that bad.




*Sidenote: I hate change.
