Deja Vu Paragraph Dos

You liked it! Yay! I don't have too much done yet-- this is the writing of a couple of hours, but I'll do more and post it a paragraph at a time. I worry about someone ripping the story off, but if it's by paragraph, I think it'll be harder to find and plagiarize/steal. If someone does steal it, I'll come and get them. You know I know how to make a zombi, right? (And if you don't, you should be warned.) :)

I googled déjà vu. Basically, the French word means “already seen” and something like 70 percent of the population has experienced it. I mean, how do you explain away a feeling that the French have actually invented a word for? And how do 30 percent of the population not feel it, ever? There are these theories that it has to do with brain chemistry, and the brain producing a chemical that makes you think the present is the past. All I can say is it’s weird to have it go on for so long. It’s not helpful at all– it’s not like I can look at something and know what’s about to happen. It’s not psychic power. It just seems like I should know. And that drives me crazy. What is important? What moment in my day could be the one that influences the rest of my life? Is it this coffee? This attempt to make the yellow before the stoplight turns red? I feel like everything mundane is really earth-shattering. I wonder if I would recognize an important moment because they all feel so. I dunno.
