Hello 2011!


Hello…

Can you hear me?

Am I getting through to you?

Hello?!

Is it late there? There’s a laughter on the line…

Ah, it was just static! That’s better. These inter-dimensional message devices are somewhat confusing. Some hear laughter, some hear static. Me, I hear both! Typical! I hope the words I am saying are being transferred into text correctly, and the correct context is being used. I’m in the future you see. 2012 in fact!

OK, I’m not that far in the future, but this gadget I’m using has somehow found its way from the future, and to me! Very convenient, I must say, and I’m always one to try out new things. Usually, however, it is long after they have been tried out by others, but never mind… they’re new to me when I try them.

This device is new. It hasn’t even been invented yet, and I’m using it! I’m writing a quick post to my blog for last year, it should automatically slot in between the other posts as there is a handy gap between posts around the 1st December 2011. At least I hope it slots in then. I’d look pretty silly if it was slotted in in June 1966 wouldn’t I? Did blogs exist back then? I don’t think so. No, it’ll work. I’m sure of it. Especially when I click this button here!

So, here I am in 2012. Things are pretty much the same. I can’t say too much due to the Balance of the Universe, and this device has been set up to filter out and delete any facts, such as winning lottery numbers, which is a bit of a bind. I mean, look at these six winning numbers from March: , , , , , and . See!

Actually, I’m not in the future. I’m writing this in my now, for it to be posted back in the past. When it is being read, it has been written in the future, but not my future. Unless, I’m reading this tomorrow, and then it is also in my past. Time zones are so much fun, but get very confusing! And I will be so confused when I get to read his post (that is, the me of December 1st 2011 who will have no idea that this would have been posted yet, as he is busy fiddling about with backgrounds and headers and stuff! He he he! That laugh should have sounded more evil. I knew there was a laughter on the line!)

Anyway, what was the point of this post?

I can’t remember now. 2012’s still here otherwise I wouldn’t have posted this. And I suppose, as this device is from the future, the future’s still here too. Unless that is only in this dimension. Hmmm, I wonder – what about Betelgeuse? I’ll have to go and check up on that one!

I wonder if I can write to the future? It’ll be a bit like reversing the charges but on a far grander scale although without any money. Speaking of money, , , … , ! Oh, this filter!

Must dash! This device is making a strange clanking and whirring sound. What’s it doing?

Hello?

Can you hear me?

    Hellooooooooooooooo!!! can you hear meeeeeeee??? Glad the future is still around Tom!. This is amazing, I’m commenting on a post written in the future in the present that will be read by you, from the future and therefore making this comment from the past!

    Anyways, before I forget..I see that you’d like to try to write a letter from the future to you more future self and guess what? there *is* a way to do it, without any expense at all!
    http://www.futureme.org/ try that website. You can write an email to your future self! Only thing is, you’ll need to make sure that you don’t delete your email account..hehe. If you did, then the email to your future self will get lost in internet..alone, and lost and cold.

      Hellooo! Loud and clear, Shree!
      And I’m replying to a comment on a post that I have yet to write! How do these things happen? I ask you!
      I must have a look for that site, Shree, thanks for the mention. I have one tiny problem, in that whatever email service I start to use, it ends up being closed down. My current service is closing at the end of the year, so I have the rigmarole of setting up new accounts and updating things and so on to go through once again. Still, never mind! (It sounds so sad for that lost email, by the way!)

      Hi Diane… I wish I knew what the numbers were too! It’s all well and good your future self knowing the numbers, but it’s the present self that needs them! Good luck with your ticket, by the way! 😀

      Thank you, Andra, I hope you receive your winning numbers soon too!
      I’ve been right here all along, but at least I now know what I need to write when the day comes to post this one next year sometime! All this talk of crossing time zones is now giving me a head ache!
      Hope you have a great Friday! 😀
