In the silence of your room, in the darkness of your dreams.

Gah. I fainted on the train this morning. That was embarrassing. I could feel it coming on - and kinda knew it was going to happen but the train wasn't moving and there was no space. then the dark started coming in from the sides and I was suddenly wondering why I had my face on an armrest as it wasn't very comfortable. Noises filtered back in and I could hear the other passengers panicing about what to do with me. I let them know I was alive and eventually got up and sat in someone's seat. mad. not done that in years. used to faint a lot when I was a teenager - especially when we had heavy robes in the church choir - it was such a horribly familiar sensation when it started.

Had a hot chocolate and a sit down in Leeds station till I felt a little more human.

Amusingly everyone in the office is suitably freaked out and treating me like I might actually drop dead at some point.

tbh there's surely much comedy to be had from simply starting to talk to people at great length, then pause and stare for a bit, then carry on as if nothing had happened, looking at anyone who mentions your pauses with utter disdain as if to say they're utterly bonkers.

Or just randomly fall over or off your chair.

Or when someone is talking to you that you find incredibly boring or just don't want to listen (e.g. a boss) just "faint".

Great excuse for just about anything...
