Am I an E.T.?
Looking for technical answers
“You certainly dance to the beat of a different drummer,” said my father to me for probably the thousandth time. People have always viewed me as “kinda out there.” Before you say, “well, we are all unique,” yeah, I know that. It’s just some weird stuff has happened to me that no one can seem to explain.
Here is one example: I am standing in line with hundreds of other new students at my college orientation, and we are getting our ID photos taken. My turn comes up, I stand in the designated spot, but the photographer tells me that she can’t see me in her camera. Up till this point, there have been no issues with the camera. She checks the settings on the camera, and asks me to adjust my position. I comply. She now snaps my photo, and there is the sound of a “pop”. The camera lens has cracked.
Okay, you may say, maybe the camera was ready to break, and it just happened to occur when it was your turn. Valid reasoning. Except, a few years later the exact same thing happened to me at the DMV when I was getting my license photo. Yes, another camera with a cracked lens! Weird coincidence? A few years later, another DMV; this time the camera doesn’t break, but it takes several tries for the photographer to see my image through the lens. Scary.
