i used to jump up whenever i heard the phone ring, like pre-programmed. i think i got in the habit when i was dating the ex in 8th grade (quite a long time ago, there), because i didn't want, er, someone else to answer the phone? well, talking to his dad was pretty bad (and don't you hate that, you call for someone and their dad sounds like darth vader?). so maybe that's it.
anyway, going to sleep at 6 pm today seems to have flipped the switch or something, because all of a sudden the phone's ringing and it doesn't even occur to me to get up. it's like when the timer goes off. you hear it but it doesn't register, and the next thing you know, the cookies are burning. just sort of my brain going, 'gee golly that's noisy! hm. i wish someone would get the phone. i wonder what they're doing. huh. the phone just rang... and no one got it yet... oh...'
