Decapitation Party Trick

Date: 9/26/2020

Steve taught me a little party trick where if you cross your arms (like you're taking off a tight shirt) and place your hands under the opposite sides of your jaw, you could then swiftly lift up and take your head off lol. I took my head off and put it back on a few times, and showed people and laughed and stuff lol. Then later I was walking around the old stomping grounds, a bunch of people were still around, and I tried taking my head off but it didn't work. It felt more like you'd expect it to feel in real life lol, except not that bad because I didn't really commit to the motion so it was kinda like I just pulled up on my head. I was confused, tried a time or two more, then decided to check in with Steve. I found Steve and was like "so what was it again? I just grab my head like this and pull up and it just comes off right?" And he was like yeah, I was like ok that's what I thought but I'm having trouble getting it to work now. I told him I'd give it another shot. After wandering around psyching myself up a bit, I decided to just try to commit to it, I knew I'd done it already and it had been fine so I could do it again. But I was nervous, and skeptical. I grabbed my head, jerked it upward, and it kinda came off but not all the way. Most of my senses dulled, some significantly like my hearing basically sounded like a quiet version of being underwater. Some sensory noise also started, like I felt tingling in many random parts of my body, and I heard kinda staticy sounds. My vision was mostly okay I think, maybe some muddying around the bottom of my fov? I danced in front of some people having a conversation, still holding my head slightly higher than where it should be, and sang an improvised song about how I was distressed that I had partially beheaded myself, ending with "I should probably ask Steve!" Then I turned and saw Steve walk out of the hallway near my mom's old room. I continued singing/rapping "Steve what's up you gotta help me dawg, my head's halfway off and halfway on!" Steve, trying to continue my freestyle was like "cool! It's your dad's day on!" I half-heartedly sang "that's true he did go to work today!" But that actually isn't true because he's retired. Then I tried to get more serious about seeking help, but I don't recall what happened.
