Abulafia’s entry about GNE related dreams made me wonder how GNE affects everyones daily life.

When I was having friends over for tea and cookies right before christmas I found myself being caught in an neverending cookie making loop the night before. I just could not stop! It felt like I was hitting *make another* again and again and…

Have you had any experiences like that or is it just me totally mixing up GNE and RL?!

I have written my address as 44 Bobbleton St. on a form by accident.

My 13-year-old son, who likes to watch over my shoulder as I play sometimes, gleefully announced at the dinner table the other night, “Oh yeah, remember that funny thing that happened at flippy rice’s party the other night?” His dad looked at him rather blankly.

Sometimes I catch myself saying things like “An object is something you can instantiate,” and using the word “nebulate” IRL.

At work today, everyone got a purple sheet of paper in their mailbox! Now THAT’s a bonus. How can I get it from RL into GNE?

I almost failed to buy apples at the store the other day because, after all, I had just harvested some from a tree.

BTW: I don’t believe Loli wrote 44 Bobbleton St. on a form by accident.

Unfortunately, the onus of proof is on me.

Abu: I wanted my house so badly, I spent a large portion of the day repeatedly typing ‘Dibs on 44 Bobbleton St.’ in the chat window. The form was a check cashing application at the grocery store. It was automatic by then. It also fixed in my head that checks with pictures of Bobbleton, Bentown, Soso, etc. would be cooler than cartoon characters. Hope the devs are thinking about product endorsement.
