While being hypomanic I once invited a guy I met online and that I have had a sort of on-and off again relationship with. Anyway, I invitid him over and we watched a movie and had a bit of a hook-up. Just hours after he returned home I started getting paranoid and the next days I refused to answer his texts or phone calls, ending up I was so paranoid I was thinking he was stalking me and even had a male friend talk to him telling him to leave me alone. In hind-sight I know I was just paranoid - the guy was pretty decent and asumingly just worried about me not answering my phone...
I was a percussion minor and played in a steel drum band. The doors to our music building were "locked" at certain hours during the nights but every music major knew how to "unlock" them and get into the building at any hour. I had already been up for over 36 hours when I went over to the building at 3AM convinced I had the best new way to play the drums EVER. All our instruments were kept in a metal "cage" because the room was used for all different ensembles. Picture a metal fence-like structure that served as the walls and ceiling of a small room. I took out every instrument and attached them with wires, ropes and zip ties all over the metal cage: to the top of it (over six feet in the air), along the sides of the cage, etc, etc. I imagined the band could stand on top of the cage and get a "new sound" this way. Needless to say, everyone was less than impressed with this when we had rehearsal the next day. I never confessed to the band that I had done it. They all thought someone had done it because people were mad at us for going over our allotted rehearsal times. Meanwhile, I was absolutely crushed that the band didn't see it as a cool new "avant-guard" approach to the steel drums!
