Until recently (like a year ago) I used to believe I could somehow manage to catch myself blinking while looking in the mirror. I thought if I blinked fast enough I could see it. I'm pretty bright but for some odd reason I would just stare and wait for me to blink to see what I looked like with my eyes closed. Then one day it dawned on me that I can't see it because I'm blinking at the exact same time as my reflection and that it would be physically impossible to watch myself blink. Sometimes I can be a little slow....
