Have you ever...

watched yourself in a mirror while speaking?

Sometimes, I catch glimpses of myself speaking or singing in a reflection and my activities are abruptly brought to a halt as I find myself in an extremely awkward state of disconnect. Until recently, I had always chalked it up to the fact that I just wasn't used to seeing myself speak, so the words never looked right coming out of my mouth.

The other day, as I was getting on the bus, a more satisfactory explanation hit me - the feeling arises from my ears telling me one thing and my eyes telling me another. I hear the sound coming from the physical location of my body, but the lips emitting those sounds are trapped on the opposite side of a glass pane. Not only is the sound out of sync with my lips, but the source is totally displaced.

Yeah, so I guess I think about some pretty whacked out stuff... but that's what a blog is for, right?
