freaks people the fuck out. lawlz.

i semi-compulsively factorise large numbers.

i have trouble not talking.

by **hyperion** » Mon Mar 05, 2007 2:52 am UTC

i have the photic sneeze thing too. but only really when i go outside into bright sunlight.

i have a bad habit of picking my lips/nails.

i don't go out much (at all, really) since i prefer being on my own than with other people.

i can crack all my knuckles in both directions, including thumbs.

I am an excellent whistler.

The most common word/phrase used to describe me by people I know is "cute". The second most common is "childlike sense of wonder about the world." Seriously, I get them all the time.

(I'm actually a little tired of being called cute)

I am way more shy (in person) than most people seem to understand.

My bellybutton is an innie-outie (but I think I already mentioned that on this forum).

i was about to say that you were cute, lani...

now i don't know what to do

Sometimes it takes a few minutes for me to relize that no, that isn't what happened at all, I haven't spoken to that person in weeks, I have not already been to the dentist, I did not ace that test and I wasn't about to ask that beautiful girl out and she did not say no... Man, even my subconscious knows I'm a loser.
I know this sounds a bit iffy, and it's hard to explain, I guess it's like a really realistic dream, but harder to distinguish from reality than a normal dream that my subconscious makes up in my semi-awake state and convinces my brain is true, and about really mundane things. Occasionally it has even affected my life; I'll wonder why this guy is discussing this and this with me when we already went through it before... oh right, that was a dream.

Oh yeah, me too. It is terribly confusing.

I can't whistle.

Nor can I. I can't click my fingers well, either.

by **Fluff** » Mon Mar 05, 2007 3:54 am UTC

I can drink most men under the table, however.

by **aldimond** » Mon Mar 05, 2007 3:54 am UTC

When I sing and whistle simultaneously I can't seem to control the pitch of the two independently. This has got to be a mental block somewhere, and it's a really frustrating one.

And me too. My proudest drinking moment was outdrinking my alcholic ex-boyfriend. At least, I think it was my proudest moment. I don't remember it at all, except to know that it happened.

Anyway! We have some stuff in common here, Fluff! I am glad this thread was made.

Indeed! I shall have to ring you up if ever I come to OZ, so that we may get drunk and whistle badly !!

Sounds like a plan.

i had one of those when i was a kid.. i got it from disney world i think when i was 12... i never even opened the package.. maybe i have a thing for rats... or maybe it looked like too much to handle.. i dunno...

things about 7 years old now.. i might still have it...

also, no one can outdrink me.. or maybe i hate the way people act when theyre drunk so much that i never act it myself... the last few times people thought they were going to get me drunk i ended up rather disappointed...

i hate parties, because of the drunken fools...

i am, however, stoned 90% of my life.. i'm about to go smoke another bowl right now!

i was a lutheran all the way through 8th grade... i didnt have any life changing events, god didnt NOT pull through for me.. i just kind of decided the whole thing was a crock of shit and didnt deserve my time...

ive said this before somewhere but i can also give myself head.. guess thats interesting...

purple smells like artificial grape, zombies are cooler when they sprint, you wrote "they're" when you shouldve put "their"...

i usually just download a new flick and watch it... then even if it sucked i come away smiling because i now have knowledge of the movie and can discuss it...

favorite shape.. rectangle obviously.. oh yeah i'm big on things being symmetrical and clean looking..

by **Traisenau** » Mon Mar 05, 2007 4:45 am UTC

I sub-consiously plan the best plan of escape/retaliation against any possible zombie attack no matter where I am... it can get rather annoying after a while.

I hang out with some people whom I despise but they do provide some service for me (like how one of my "friends" is my ride to the movie theater, and my ticket buyer for R movies)

Frankly, I've never understood this aversion to "cute". It's as if someone says, "oh, that was nice", and you get offended that they didn't call you a hero or something.

"Sweet" is another matter... it has a secondary meaning not found in dictionaries.

by **Lani** » Mon Mar 05, 2007 5:54 am UTC

Ok, in my old office, there was a lady who was probably in her 50s or so. One day, after I've shown her the amazingly healthy lunch I was eating (tofu, soy nuts, bell peppers, etc) as I was participating in a weight training program, I overheard her talking to another person in our office. She was saying about how great it was that I was being so healthy, etc. And then she said "Yes, she's such a cute little girl."

That's what bugs me - the condescension that frequently accompanies it (not always, I admit).

I sometimes look at old people and think 'Oh they're so cute,' so it works both ways, really!

by **Lani** » Mon Mar 05, 2007 5:59 am UTC

I felt like she was talking about me like you would a baby lop-eared rabbit or something.

LOL! I understand that. I do use cute in a derogatory way every now and then (previous example didn't quite count--that was more satire).

by **Fluff** » Mon Mar 05, 2007 6:02 am UTC

Just think of her then, in her little pastel jogging suit! Aww, bless! I'll bet she uses a shower cap and all!

this girl asked me what i thought of her haircut.. i said it looked stupid.. and then i said i was kidding and that it looked very cute.. and that i would rape her if i had a mind to...

this is the same girl i dated/broke up with/etc THAT EVERYONE HEARS SO MUCH ABOUT... yeah, she was pretty great... TILL SHE SUCKED

edit: i said that to her BEFORE i dated her

the same thing with another girl i dated for a bit that i really didnt like at all.. i called her a slutcake and suddenly she's all over me... she brought me sandwiches for lunch though T_T...

I've been called cute and then pat on the head by the same person. It's horribly frustrating.

Just because I'm short doesn't mean I'm "cute" and just because I'm short doesn't mean you can pat me on the head!

*flips off person that pat her on the head*

by **Fluff** » Mon Mar 05, 2007 6:09 am UTC

I enjoy when people say I'm cute! It's a compliment!

Website · by **thefiddler** » Mon Mar 05, 2007 6:11 am UTC

Not when they pat your head condescendingly.

Or when they're using it to placate you after having called you short and / or Asian (with negative connotations to both).

:evil:

by **Fluff** » Mon Mar 05, 2007 6:12 am UTC

Oh right, well I am 5' 7" and wear high heels most of the time, so I haven't got that problem!

I'm 5'1" and I usually wear Chuck's, Doc Martens, or Birks.

So, yeah. That doesn't help the height thing. *sigh*
