So it is in my forum-going nature to not make new topics, so I just wanted to write this here, for better or worse.
So I found your site sort of at random, and I was completely intrigued for reasons beyond me. I kept having to read more, etc, so I just sort of accept I want to try and do, as I tend to do with things that entrance me so. I decided to try the Housecat one, and it was... really quite neat. I ended up unable to talk... I could only make noises... I could also only use my hands for typing... otherwise they were clumsy and I couldn't grip things well at all... I had a real problem taking off my headphones... I assume the reason I could still type was because I had tried this in my computer chair and I didn't want another 15 minutes of disconnection from my IM stuff, even though I wanted to try it all... I mean, it is all about actually wanting it, right? I didn't want to be unable to use my computer, so I still could, but everything else that I didn't care as much about, I couldn't...
Anyway, tried to stand up, and found myself very off-balance and wanting to get on all fours... but then, speaking to myself as I tend to when alone, I said aloud "I suppose I should probably lock the door first..." which then made me blink and realize I was talking... which caused me to check the time and realize it had indeed been about 15 minutes.
Anyway, I just had to share my experience with people because it just amazed me more than I expected, even though it only half-worked. I've definitely got to try more.
