The Time Traveler's Sleeping Habits

(not a sequel to The Time Traveler's Wife)


Once upon a time, there was a young boy that loved to procrastinate. Whenever something became a routine for him, he procrastinated. It was so bad that he even procrastinates on eating. "Food tastes the yummiest when you're starving, though! D:" he would refute.

Being a fierce procrastinator, our hero always faced the problem of not having enough time. "Sigh. Why don't I ever have enough time to do what I want? T_T" he would bemoan.

One day night, while he was about to sleep, he saw a shooting star outside his window. Because he grew up watching Disney (tm) movies, he frantically began to chant his wish; "I wanna be able to time travel! Time travel time travel time travel! Then I'll have all the time I'll ever need! *o*o*o*o*o*o*"

aand he fell asleep. By the way, he needs to wake up early tomorrow morning because he has to go to work :( Like, really early, in 4 hours time, actually.

<<fast forward 4 hours later, insert owl sound here *hoot hoot*>>

The sun BLASTED into our hero's eyes >_< "WHAT the hell I can't even sleep properly =A=" he complained. He shut the curtains and looked at the clock.

"*grumble* 6:58...? I can afford to sleep for 2 more minutes.. ~w~" and so he blinked.

(Editor's note: Now for those of you that don't know, when people blink, their eyes close for about one fifth of a second and reopen almost instantly)

When he opened his eyes and adjusted them to look at the clock again, it was 8:34!! "SH*T!" He exclaimed, "!@#$#%#$!" (sorry no subtitles) and he rushed to work.

While he was on the train on the way to work, he was exhausted and sweating due to all the rushing and running around. "Bruwh *wipes sweat* I only blinked.. why did time pass by so fast? Did I sleep?" he sighed to catch his breath, "but.. I'm still so exhausted.."

And the camera zoomed to his face, and to his left eye, and realization materialized within that brown iris of his!

"I TIME TRAVELED!(?)!!"

...he exclaimed. In the train. Everyone was looking at him. Morning train, packed and all. Awkward. "Never mind v_v" he told himself, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep to avoid the judgmental stares...

All of the sudden, he heard the monotonous train woman saying Next. Station :) <insert last station's name here> Station ^o^

"WHAT?! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?!"

y-you're my character~ you time traveled, man! ..Isn't that what you w-wished for? ^o^; Don't get m-ma-- eh wait why am I having this conversation with my blog =A=

"G*ddamnit, I time traveled again +_+ This is getting out of control," our hero grumbled non-stop, heading back the way he came from. This time he tried his best not to accidentally time travel, so he tried his best not to blink.

"O_O okay.. so I can time travel.. that's pretty cool. Apparently I can only travel to the future this way.. but I guess it can be useful," he added with a smirk. It looked a little strange, smirking with wide open eyes. 

"Gotta learn how to control it though," and disregarding any and all copyright laws, "with great power, comes great resp-"

Next. Station :) <insert workplace station's name here> Station ^o^

He was relieved that he was finally going to reach his destination. Although a full three hours late. "Better late than never, right? Phew v_v" he sighed a sigh of relief.

"Wait O_O" his eyes swung open.

Next.

"Oh,"

Station :)

"shit."

<insert home station's name here> Stat-

"AAAAA *screams and camera pans out to the train, out to the city, out to the country, out to the world, out to the galaxy~ XD* AAAAAAAAAUGH!! D:"

-ion.. o_o;;

...
...
...

And so ends the story of how our hero discovered his wonderful suberpower of time traveling~ to the future. Only. Use it wisely k ^_~



..oh. What about his job? He took M.C. that day ^o^;

Why are the audios for my videos unaligned?!

Once upon a time, there was a girl which spent most of her waking hours hiding behind the thick rims of her emo-kid glasses.

These emo-kid glasses spent most of their lives in front of monitors. When our hero is asleep, they rest in front of her computer monitor. She puts them on and checks her reflection in the darkened monitor when she wakes up in the morning, she also spends most of her time in front of a monitor - watching dramas, playing games, socializing, you name it. She even faces monitors all the time during work!

This girl spends lots of her time typing up press releases for her boss, which is coincidentally also her monitor back in high school. Which was also her only friend in high school, because they originated from a school where only the smartest kids of their neighborhood went, which was filled with people who don't really socialize. Her monitor was her only friend not only because he's a friendly guy with rounded features all around (fatfat ^o^), they go waay back; he was her monitor forever, back in primary school and even kindergarten!

In fact, Mr. Monitor lives next door, and walks with her to school every single day. Every. Single. Day. These emo-kid glasses have monitors imprinted on them. The toothbrush often joke that her glasses are cursed to face monitors forever, reflecting the reflections of their reflections off the reflections to infinity.. the sad paradox that happens whenever two reflective surfaces meet, which is the infinite loop that our hero's glasses are indefinitely trapped in.

Anyways, the interesting thing about our hero is that she often faces a very frustrating problem when watching shows, especially her favorite dramas. The audio for the videos are always, always, unaligned. They appear half a second faster than the video, so you hear the scream before the girl's mouth opens, and you hear the laugh before the slapstick action is even done with.

Infinitely frustrating, I know. She tried everything, fixing the video files, using a different software, nothing. There was no way for her to fix it. So she lived with it and tolerated it.

Until one day, when she watched television. It was the first time she watched television since she could remember, since televisions went obsolete thanks to the invention of the internet. It was then that our hero discovered something that chilled her to the rims of her thick glasses.

The audio was unaligned for the television show as well! @O@

Panicked, she ran to her grandfather that owned the television, hoping that he also owned a plausible answer to her predicament, and then she realized...

...the audio for her grandfather was unaligned too! @O@O@O@O@O@

All of the sudden, it hit her, everything's audio was unaligned to her - the tick-tock of the clock, the thud that came before the door closed, everything. Scary!

Until she realized that... hey, wait a minute, she can hear half a second into the future! Wow, she can tell the future!! ...half a second into the future, where even if she can fore-hear a car crashing into her, the only thing she could do was to yell "AAAAA STO-" half a second faster, perhaps being able to finishing pronouncing the word 'stop'.

And so, that's how our hero realized that she owned a superpower, though she could not follow the footsteps of others that had superpowers before her and save the world or make it a better place - because she had a useless superpower, a suberpower v__v
