I just finished 12 years of schooling, and basically forgot everything I'd learnt in the week after final exams. Not a problem. Rather, my problem is emerging now.
I'm beginning to space out over really stupid things. I mean, I used to space before. Sometimes. Not quite like this, though.
In short, I feel like I'm going mental.
Example: The Salmon Dance
I have no idea what's so great about this song, but I love it. I ******** love it. I can listen to it for hours on end, and the video clip makes me giggle. Like, "Lol. Singing fish. Lol." The worst thing is, it distracts me and seems to make me extra-spacey.
The Results of The Salmon Dance:
Father: *comes in the door*
Me: Good morning!
Father: ...
Me: I mean, good night!
Father: confused
Me: Good afternoon! Good afternoon!
Father: ... a simple 'hello' would have worked...
Also: posting an entire journal on DA in the wrong account, asking my brother if he was going to Sarah's place - who the hell is Sarah? Staring into space for hours at a time, drawing a picture of a fish smack in the middle of a huge page and thus ruining the rest of the page, and not hearing when people are talking to me also come with this. And dropping a whole cake into the fridge. It wasn't even meant to go into the fridge in the first place. <.<'
After all this, I feel really stupid for spacing out like that. I know this isn't *really* a rant, but I feel the need to complain about it. At the very least, I hope you found my spacey post amusing... any of you space out like this?

Um, no, not really.
I've accidentally put things in cabnets that should have gone in the fridge and vice versa, but it was just me not paying attention or being in a hurry.
I forget what I'm doing a lot, but not space out per se.

Actually, on second thought... Are you getting enough sleep?
I remember when I was in highschool/uni I was getting about two hours of sleep a night and working and going to school fulltime. I would be at work on little to no sleep, helping customers, and completely not remember it.
Kind of scary considering I was dealing with thousands of dollars at a time, but I never screwed it up, despite not really being aware. Other times I'd fall asleep on my feet for a few minutes at a time and wake up like.... whut. Time has passed?

Other times I'd fall asleep on my feet for a few minutes at a time and wake up like.... whut. Time has passed? It might be lack of sleep, because that kind of thing makes me space out, though I'm prone to spacing out and just staring at nothing for hours anyway.

Heh, I'm a teenaged girl with nothing to do. It's certainly not lack of sleep.
Unless oversleeping does that to you as well.

Here's one most people don't even think about: Are you drinking enough water? Mild dehydration can have some of the same spacey side-effects as sleep deprivation. It certainly affects short-term memory and awareness of what's going on.
I randomly read that on a giant 62-ounce jug for water. Since, you know, if you drank that whole thing in one day, you'd be getting enough water in your system. I wanted it.
