. No, really, it's fun once you try it.

Ok: embarrassing secret: I go into trances with small animals.
No, seriously. Gophers, raccoons, and rabbits mostly. It goes like this. I'll come into the quad around the college, and see a small animal dart into the bush (tonight it was a rabbit). The I stay on that exact spot and do not move a muscle. I learned it in life drawing. I even breathe really shallow. For the first ten minutes the animal stays either in the tree or under the bush, but eventually, it starts to relax. After about twenty or thirty minutes of standing perfectly still, the animal starts foraging again. If I move once by accident after fifteen minutes, the animal spooks and I need to start over. It is trancelike; your eyes go out of focus and you lose track of time. It's fun, too. I've untreed raccons with this quirk, and gotten gophers within three feet of me.
Here's where it got embarrassing.
Tonight while returning from the pub, I spotted a rabbit under a bush. Stood still. After ten minutes it started foraging again. After twenty, it came out from under the bush and went onto the open snow. After thirty, the don on duty came out to see why three residents had voiced great concern that there was a girl in the quad standing stalk still in minus ten degrees for a freakishly long time. Blushing, I pointed out the (now frightened and re-bushed) rabbit and explained that I like standing still until they move etc, etc.
Shoot. Sometimes I just realize that I'm weird.
