h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I think everyone has on occasion displayed a certain amount of behaviour that could be seen as quirky to others and simultaneously quite normal to themselves.
This morning I was hoovering my refrigerator,singing Schubert's"Ave Maria",when gales of shrieking laughter startled me from this Sunday act of devotion. What was this cacophony of disparate sounds?
I swung round to witness three Croatians in various stages of paroxysmal distress,bodies bent at unnatural angles,gasping,wheezing,pre-cyanotic...you get my drift. I stared wildly at(I recalled these were my weekend house guests) the pyjama clad figures and a gust of renewed laughter forced me backwards.
After a time,actually a fairly good amount of time,their bodies retained their usual upright forms and their breathing resumed to normalcy except for the occasional soft rattle.I sat them down gently in the living room where I explained that some icing sugar had fallen off of the sherry poppy seed cake onto the shelves of the fridge,a vacuuming seemed to be the logical course of solution and seeing as it was Sunday,did they expect me to be singing "Lady Marmalade"? I searched their faces for any sign of comprehension. Did I have to interpret this through universal mime and gesticular emphasis? Were they patiently waiting for more detailed explanation? Silence.Then something sounding like the very first "ppppf" of popcorn popping in the microwave broke the surface of that silence. A sonic blast of laughter followed with bodies helplessly knocked sideways then diving for the cushions on the couch, frantic feet kicking as if they should be accompanied by a known swimming stroke and the voice of one strangledly gasping, "Ohhh, I would pay some one to strap me into a straight-jacket right now..."before burying his head into the cushions and muffling any further communication.
At that, I left the room shaking my head puzzledly and commenced writing my first journal entry.

That's a very good journal entry! Well done! You certainly write very well and you have a great rhythm to your writing! I look forward to the next journal entry!

That's so sweet of you to say so!
And so typical of your usual kindness!

Well the praise is utterly deserved!

Your lifestyle sounds entirely normal to me. I should up the intake of poppy seeds if i were you.

zdt

I did think of doing just that!
However, mainlining the silly opiate b*ggers proved next to impossible!
Glad to meet you!

...what my name is aking you to do
