To be Non-existent

I was doing an experiment today, inspired by some thing I read in one of my friend's blog's. I decided I wanted to dissappear for one day. Just one day (or maybe two.. I might do this again tomorrow haha :P) to stop existing in YOUR world. I've been cooking up a plan yesterday on how I should do my dissappearing act. Is it really to dissappear? Hmm... I just don't want to be found I guess. I was planning to go to work really really early so that the people here won't know that I'm in the office already. I left my phone at home just for fun (I've lived without it before... what's the difference with not having it for a day?). I did tell four people that I don't have my phone with me. But only those people I know I would need to talk to today. And so, I decided I don't want to be found, to dissappear, to not exist in everyone's world for a day.

What happened? Well obviously my experiment ended early as someone caught me and found me eventually (yes, I'm hiding okay? It's an experiment). Messages came in so I had no choice but to surrender. It might sound like I'm hiding from one person only, but actually to everyone (I was in invisible mode in the chatroom) *sigh*  I just want to hide from everyone I know. Why am I doing this? Nothing. I just want to. Maybe try and explore around... and let everyone wonder what I'm up to. I don't have an exact objective for this experiment, but it was fun while it lasted.

Conclusion? Well I was hoping to dissappear for one day but I guess half a day isn't so bad. I was in the office and didn't leave my room most of the time. What did I feel? Excited at the thought that people are looking for me, not knowing where or how to find me. We're all dependent on the fact that we can contact people on mobile, 24/7. It felt like I was free for a moment there when I wasn't bothered at all with messages or calls (i didn't pick up the landline if the ring is from an outside call, not internally). I wonder how many calls and unread messages are in my phone today? To those people who thought of me and went looking for me (if there were any), rest assured that I'm okay and ready to live another day.

I guess this experiment needs a little more tweaking (yes, I'm going to do this again). Time, venue and location should be different. I guess next time I'll try and do it for about two days. You may think of this as funny or stupid but you're free to think that way. I just want to dissappear. Period.

So, do you want to try and dissappear for moment?
