Day 1:

My therapist says I could think about getting off the grid. She didn't say I have to think about it, she just said I could. She said, why not keep a journal, write down your thoughts. If some of them are about getting of the grid, then that's fine. If not, who knows what you might write? The creative mind is so fascinating!

Anyway, I started thinking about getting off the grid. Got cold sweats almost immediately. My therapist also said I should write a number that means how the grid makes me feel. The grid makes me feel: 7.

Day 8:

It's not so bad thinking about the day I got on the grid for the first time. I was eight, messing around in the woods with Bobby and Graham, playing Robin Hood or whatever we did back then. Me and Graham were under a tree and Bobby was a bit off, looking under some bushes when Bobby said, hey, woah, check this out. So me and Graham came over. Under the bushes was a grid. It wasn't a big grid, but it was the first one we had seen.

Get on the grid, dingus, said Bobby, and he kind of pushed Graham in the direction of the grid.
No way, said, Graham and he pushed Bobby.
I'll do it, I said. They both looked at me was crazy.

But I did it. I got on the grid. It felt...griddy. They were freaking out but even then I knew: the grid was for me. This memory makes me feel: 3

Day 22

My therapist says I could think about getting off the grid. That means she thinks I should get off the grid. Therapists and their mind games. Just tell me I need to get off the grid. I know I need to get off the grid. When people see me, people I know, they say hows it going? Hows the grid? That's all they can think of to say, because they know I'm the Grid Guy. That's who I am in their minds. And sure, everyone is on the grid, but I'm ON the grid. One day they're going to forget my name and just call me Grid.

This thought makes me feel: -2

Day 68

They don't want me to get off the grid. If I get off the grid then they'll have to think about whether they're on the grid. As long as I'm there, on the grid, they don't have to think about it, and they don't have to think about me. What to get me for Christmas? Something grid-related. Birthdays? Anniversaries? New grid. Is there a lull in conversation? Bring up the grid. They act like they're doing me a loving favor talking about the grid.

So get off the grid. Get off the grid if it bothers you so much. Get off the grid. GET OFF THE GRID. GET. OFF. THE. GRID.

I'm not getting off the grid: 1010110111010111

Day 188

Had a dream I was stepping off the grid. I was going to do it. I lifted my foot up, ready to get off the grid. But the farther I lifted my foot up, the farther I had to go. Up and up I lifted my foot. I couldn't put it down. I couldn't actually step off the grid. My foot just kept going higher and higher, attached to a leg that was growing longer and longer. My foot was like a balloon up there tethered to the rest of me; the rest of me that was still on the grid.

It's ok, this could work out for me, I thought. I will climb up my own leg. I will climb to the top, where my foot is. I will stand on my foot and jump off. Off the grid.

But when I got to the top, there was nothing there but grid. The sole of my shoe was a grid.

This dream makes me feel: 4

Day 311

My therapist says no pressure, let's not even talk about the grid today. Let's talk about something else. How's your relationship with your dad been? I say it's been ok since we got in that fight over Easter. He calls me, I call him. We talk about guy stuff: strictly no emotions, strictly no grid. He acts like the grid doesn't exist, which is how it used to be. That's how it was in my family for a long time. They saw the grid. They saw that I was on it. But they pretended it was invisible. They acted like it didn't matter. They acted like I didn't matter.

That's interesting, my therapist says. They were acting like the grid didn't matter. Why does that mean they were acting like you didn't matter? Are you the grid? Is the grid you? Could they care about you, and not care about the grid?

After a long pause I said, how about you?

What do you mean, my therapist said.

You. Are you on the grid? Are you on the loving grid? What are you on right now? It's the grid, isn't it? You act so high and mighty but you're on the grid, I fuckin know it. I know you're on the grid. You should have your license revoked.

This isn't about me, she said calmly. We're talking about you. How you feel about the grid. We're here to talk about what you want to talk about, which is the grid, and what the grid means to you. You've said you want me to help you get off the grid, so that's what I'm trying to do. We're starting with imagining what it might be like to be off the grid.

gently caress you, I said. gently caress you, gently caress this. gently caress. I got up from the chair real fast. I got up so fast I forgot to take the grid with me. For a moment, there I was, my rear end hovering above the grid. I was off the grid. I could feel the place where the grid had pressed into my body, I could feel how my body had responded to the grid, becoming the negative of the grid, filling in the grid's space, following the grid's lines. And then I stumbled back and fell onto the grid again. I started to cry and my therapist handed me a tissue. She didn't have to say anything. I think I will bake muffins for her and bring them to our next session.

This session made me feel: 10

Day 420

The other day Shay from accounting made a joke about the grid. She made a joke and she looked at me, like checking to see how I, the Grid Guy, would react.

I smiled. Nobody knows I'm off the grid. They just know I'm smiling a lot more. I'm glad I'm off the grid, but it was never about the grid. It was about smiling. It was about being able to share a joke.

This will be my last entry, and there's only one number left to record. Shay's number. We're going on a date to a restaurant where they prepare everything in an old school clay oven, serve it all by sun or candlelight. Then we're going to see Shakespeare in the Park. Two Gentlemen of Verona. Then I'm going to take her back to my bunker and show her my canning operation, maybe my air and water filtration system. After that? Who knows. Anything can happen when you're off the grid.

Day 122:

I am no longer on the grid and as such I am no longer QPU aligned. I have no idea when I will ever return to the QPU grid or even home again. If anyone ever gets this message I want everyone to know that I will be building up speed and returning home soon.
