Nadia, could you call me, or text me or anything? Just e-mail me back at least. It's ridiculous that i have to start leaving messages on facebook. Please.
When I'm happy, I sometimes feel as if I'm not real. It's when I'm sad that I get thrust back into reality.

Anesthetic Illusion
Today was an awkward day. Awkward. That's possibly the best word for how I felt, it started off strangely. I have a routine in the morning, I'll get up wash my face twice then, with my eyes still closed i'd reach for my face towel which is placed on the side and dry my face before i can open my eyes. I brush my teeth, upwards and sideways the same amount of times (usually 5 or 7, always odd numbers) then rinse my mouth 3 times.
But this morning, I wasn't quite myself. i brushed my teeth first without realizing how many strokes, i then continued to wash my face twice, and like usual my eyes were closed however this time when i reached for my towel it wasn't there. But I had put it there the night before, i was sure. It just didn't feel right.
I feel like daily routines entangle human life. It's what keeps me happy, it keeps me content. It's like my own anesthetic illusion to the realities of existence.

Pinch Me, I Must Be Dreaming
I feel like my blog is becoming very impersonal..
I need to start thinking of it as diary.. and I will. I promise.
Pinch Test
Experiment Two
When I'm not sure if i'm dreaming or not, i'd pinch myself. If I wasn't dreaming, it'd hurt.
I pinched myself every five minutes for an hour. If it hurts, I'm real.

Control Freak
'The heart is a muscular organ in all vertebrates responsible for pumping blood though the blood vessels by repeated, rhythmic contractions."
Basically the heart is an insanely important organ in my body, it pumps oxygenated blood to feed my body's biological functions. So without one, I wouldn't exist.
Experiment One
Do I (physically) have a heart? Am I able to control my heart rate?
Well I am alive. I'm moving, breathing, eating and functioning as a human so I'm pretty sure I have a heart. Also if i look on my right wrist (only on my right) I can actually see my pulse. So I know that blood is being pumped through my body and therefore I do actually have a heart.
But can I control it?
Well first things first. I wanted to see how many times my heart beats per minutes normally. I remembered my science days at school so I decided to test it 3 times. I'm a little scientist, i am.
1) 83 BMP
2) 87 BMP
3) 81 BMP
So my average would be 83.6666666666 so lets just say 84
My next test was to see if i can slow it down. I read that putting a person's face in contact with cold water triggers bradycardia - which slows down the heart rate. After that I held my breathe for a minute (well...)
1) 78 BMP
2) 72 BMP
3) 76 BMP
So my average would be 75.3333333333 so lets just say 75
My last test was to see if I could speed it up. Not having gone to the gym in a couple of days/months I didn't think it'd be too difficult. I ran around for a minute each time, then checked my pulse.
1) 138 BMP
2) 140 BMP
3) 143 BMP
So my average would be 140.333333 so lets just say 140
In conclusion, I do have a heart (thankfully) and I can control it.
Does this prove I exist?
