Something I learned over the past two days: everyone has exactly the same sense of humor when confronted with someone who has lost their voice. "What was that? Speak up, I couldn't hear you." "Why are you giving me the cold shoulder?" "You know, you've been really quiet today." "If you don't want me to do [thing that clearly should not be done] then speak up now!"

There was a lot of rude gesturing from me over the past two days. And occasional bouts of "I'm sick of trying to make myself understood, I will now mouth meaningless words while gesturing randomly and pretend that I'm actually saying something."

But! I seem to have my voice back now. I've stayed inside and not talked to people today in hopes of not blowing it out again since I have to be back at work tomorrow, but with luck it will stay back and I won't have to deal with this anymore.



While I was staying inside and not talking today, I watched the second episode of Alphas. Still enjoying it! Warming up to Gary. Rachel's still my favorite. Intrigued by the further hints of a dark past for Nina. This might be a new fandom for me. Anyone else at all watching it?

Lol, I love doing that to my friends too when they've lost their voice! :p

And yes! I'm watching Alphas too! I haven't watched the 2nd ep yet but I did enjoy the pilot. My only gripe with it is that the powers allocation was a bit typical and stereotypical. Like the angry black man and the femme fatale with the powers of persuasion? Pfffft. Predictable.

Today I walked in to work, walked up to the ME, and told him he sucks. I got applause. I assume because this was evidence my voice was back and not because I told him he sucks, but you never know.

I'm really enjoying it so far! I hope it stays this good because there's so much potential there. I don't even really mind the stereotypical powers because they do some subtle things with them. Like Nina's power of persuasion being dark-mirrored by Ghost's ability to brainwash people. Although I really want to know what the downside of her power is. If everyone has one, she must too!
