The Imp of the Perverse.

today has been really weird been laughing for no reason, I use to have this problem with my sister she would just get annoyed and its probably the same brain defect that makes me seem guilty of things I'm innocent of. Its edgar allen poe's imp of the perverse. My sister never understood this sometimes I just go really giddy for no reason and its like that today with Musab. I'll explain.
I don't know whats going on but if someone is talking to me or I have to listen for a longer time than is comfortable to the point where I have absolutely no idea what that person is saying and I'm just mustering the strength to continue listening and not look awkward just waiting for the cue for a yeah or an I see, sure no worries. I just go off in my head and then OH NO!!! NOOO don't play the mind game you can't ever win DUM DUM DAAAAAAA the imp of the perverse is there and my rational self says shut up just listen it might be important YOUR NOW MISSING ALL THE KEY WORDS THAT ALLOW YOU TO GET AWAY WITH THIS!!
But all is lost its too late the imp knows my akiles heel all too well its been asleep for a decade.........."Don't laugh!!"
"Shut up!!" I tell it.
"Your not listening to a word are you?" and Musabs going blah blah blah and the imp says "Arrggh its almost too late your not going to last I warned you not to laugh" I exploded in to a giddy fit and I couldn't recover to explain to him about the imp in my head that makes me want to laugh at inappropriate times for no obvious reason. Its not a voice don't worry. But that little fucking imp gets me in to trouble a lot. It makes no difference if I'm completly inocent or not of whatever ....someone will say "you ate all the cake didn't you!!" I can't help it even If I don't know there is a cake or was a cake the imp says "she's on to you, she's looking for a tell. Heres what you do ok just act like you didn't eat the cake and everything will be fine just try to not avoid eye contact!!....and don't laugh!!"
and my sister would go "AHAH!!" and I would then explain to her that I was incocent its just that theres this imp!! "Oh I see an imp ate the cake, I can tell your guilty I can see it all across your face"
and thats really everything I had to say about my imp.
