Face it....we've all been there.

You might be an intellectual giant....moderately intelligent....or just plain riddled with wisdom. Then for some mysterious reason you wake up one day and......

DUUUUHHHHHH!!!

You can't explain it.

Every damn thing from that point on no matter HOW well you are at it just seems to go blank in your mind's eye. You're thinking: "Dammit, I've done this before. Why in the fickety freck did I forget!?"

It may be missing the mark on little things....or great big things.

This phase can last anywhere from a day to several weeks. In this time frame, you recede from humanity and are now able to legally file for chicken-without-a-head status. One morning is all it takes to begin your downward spiral to half-moron land.

You wake up. Put the toast in the toaster. Go shower. Come back. Discover that you didn't turn on the toaster. Turn on toaster. Brush your teeth. Go back to the kitchen. Eat toast. Realise you brushed your teeth before eating instead of after. Go brush teeth again. Get dressed. Realised you did not shower. Get undressed. Shower. Get dressed again. Get ready for work. Go downstairs. Grab car keys. Go to car. Realise you didn't lock front door. Lock front door. Get in car. Realise you left keys on porch. Get keys from porch. Go back to car. Get in. Begin to drive away when you realise you aren't wearing any pants. Turn around. Go in house. Put pants on. Realise you didn't turn off the shower. Turn off shower. Go downstairs. Realise you left house keys in the bathroom. Yada, blah, yada, blah, ad infinitum. You get the picture.

Just to clarify, that didn't happen to me, I was just using it as a template. I mean come on. I suck but I'm not THAT effed up....not yet anyway. xD

But I digress.
What I am getting at is that sort of thing can be the springboard for bigger and more frequent disasters. Like a disease, it begins to grow and fester until it seems that NOTHING you do is right. We have all had these phases at one point or another. Ya can't deny it. And if you haven't, then you will, believe me.

My own stupid phase is that I forget...EVERYTHING!

Names....things I've said to people that I should remember but don't.....where I put things.
I am also a complete DITZ lately. Things just ZOOM right over my head!

I also seem to be having a larger than average number of spelling mistakes. I look at my texts and messages...and even some posts before I send them through and the amount of corrections seems a lot larger than usual. Yikes.

I have never been spelling bee champion by any stretch of the imagination, but for the love of corn why the hell did I get hit with the Big Ugly Stupid Stick all of a sudden?

I look at certain words I have typed and think: "Yeah, that looks right." and then send the text/message/post through, only to realise that it was spelled wrong! Geezus pleezus, I even spell "stupid" wrong!

Or do I?

You see!!??!! There's no end in sight!

It absolutely amazes me...Or is it amaises?


*sigh*


I am either going to have to check in to a hospital for the socially unfit or, at the very least do like that dude in the movie "Memento" and tattoo a friggin' dictionary on my body! The lines will remain open for 24 hours, please cast your votes now.

Hopefully, this phase will last for only a short time. So I can go back to being just a dork.


Anyhoo...I'd like to hear about your own "Stoopid Phase" experiences. xD

What happened and how long did the last phase last?

Lol hahahaha
Oh wow, how long have you got, I am quite known in my family and very well known in my husband's family for being 'ditzy' LOL Sometimes my brain just doesn't seem to want to function like a normal person lol and like you, my memory is just awful! 😱 Which is a reason why I can't think of any specific 'duh' moments right now lol but I'm off to my in laws in a mo, so no doubt something strange will pop out of my mouth at some point LOL 😀
 
I don't think it's a face. I've been this way for years. I simply need a reason to focus. I think they're called jobs.
 
I think I'm the opposite, live in the so called stoopid phase and have brief phases of cleverness!

I'm pretty ditzy, and often do stupid things.

Lost my car keys a few times, thats always fun, and the twice I've done it my car was in random places.

Few months ago I threw my head back when I got out of my car, cuz I dropped my phone, which I do allot, while my friend laughed, when I threw my head forward I slammed it into the side of the car door, split my head open and have to get 7 stitches, which has given me a harry potter like scar above my left eye.

I'll think of more
 
Yeah, it's called baby brain. I'm on my third round in the last 3-4 years. 😛

In general, I'm just a klutzy person and random dumb crap always happens to me. But my brain seldom fails me! (As of yet, anyway...)

Lmao! That's like a normal day to me, are you saying I qualify chicken-without-a-head status?? 😱

Although generally I'll remember my pants, it's my shoes that suffer or my coat... then I'll run back a few times to make sure I didn't leave anything on.
Then I'll go back for my bus ticket.
Then my wallet
That of course means that I have to look for my wallet which is buried in one out of three bags, tossed carelessly under a heap of some crap or simply left in some kind of shopping bag (this can take some time)
And it just goes on.

Confusion is my daily bread. "Phase" pft, it's on going now and forever, just settle into it and enjoy only being dimly aware of life 😉

Though I still have a fairly tight grip on my spelling I believe so I certainly hope that isn't fading ... I don't think I can afford to be more loopy/klutzy/chicken-without-a-head-y than I already am 🙂
