Oh sheesh! I didn't know anyone else did this! I usually imagine a robot doing parkour as we drive... dunno why, maybe because I used to do parkour and robots are badass... just maybe.
Poll: Is this weird or do you do this?

No I can't say I do that. Although I have done this a couple of times on a long trip, to the annoyance and confusion of everyone in the car.
I'm just over a week away from a train-trip. I now have a means of entertainment during the daylight hours thanks to this thread reminding me about that act.
To answer your exact question though, I haven't thought about someone running next to me but I have thought about running as fast as the vehicle which I am in.
Yes, I do this. But then, since I started writing stories the whole time, I have a habit of projecting my archetypal central character into anything I do. Whatever I do, I narrate in my head as if he were doing, with descriptions of the world around him and the thoughts in his head.PixelKing said:

All the time, on trains, buses, cars. It's something about watching the blurred flowing terrain. I imagine a ninja jumping from tree to tree and running along. It's not like there's much else to do as a passenger in a car other than daydream ^^PixelKing said:
All the time.
I also try to pinpoint the midpoint between cars as it goes past a set point in my field of view, imagine something sawing the cars down the center as they go past a point, and visualize something jumping over each car or thing and then touching the ground before jumping over another. Surprisingly difficult.
You are not alone.

Yes I?ve done it before, usually on top of the various barricades in the center or to the side of the road, sometimes jumping from lamppost to lamppost. It?s not me though, it?s some sort of humanoid type creature.
Getting inside your character's head? Or is your character getting inside yours?ThreeWords said:
I do the same thing, but my "arch-typical character" will usually be just the most recent, I tend to drift between characters as the months go by.
Current one is an orc samurai that I'm writing about, who takes a coming-of-age test that includes picking up his destiny where his ancestor left off - a trial by fire kinda thing. It makes me feel really ashamed of being so lazy, when I can imagine what he'd be thinking and doing. Every moment of his life is filled with ritual, formality, or training, every second designed to teach him what he will need to pass the trials.
And I can't even get out of bed and feed myself, because I'm too lazy. Oh well, back to daydreaming, haha.
