People can be so wierd... - Page 2

Martyr · 06-17-2004, 11:13 PM

When I'm sitting in a room full of people, or if I'm in a small company of potential friends who are not yet acquaintances, my leg starts to shake uncontrollably. I'll start glancing all over the room and at the people like some kind of permanently alert deer, and my brain turns off when I have to make conversation. Ironically, the only time I can squeek out a word is when I think of a joke, and, in those situations, I am incredibly funny.

So... Right. My antisocialstic phobias bring out the comedian in me. That's kind of wierd.

Actually the list is vacuum energy, dark matter, stupidity, then hydrogen.

A strange tick of mine only shows when I get hurt. Here is my reaction to pain scale:

1-4: No or little reaction
5-8: Uncontrolled Laughter (Edit: There is no feeling of pain while I laugh which I can't explain.)
9-10: Normal reaction

Then there have been times that I've been hit by a stray water droplet and for some reason said ouch.

What are the scientists doing about this, is what I want to know.

What effort are they making to locate the stupidity particle? Can it be destroyed by radiation? What of anti-stupidity particles? Would contact between the two eliminate these 'stupotrons' altogether? Or would the reaction simply destroy the universe? And would it, when you get right down to it, be worth it?

I can understand running to get out of the rain (especially if you're a girl wearing a white t-shirt) because wet clothes are not fun to walk in all day. I don't really run to get out of the rain, because I'm used to walking in the rain and getting soaking wet. (from marching band)

But I was visiting my best friend's grandparent's house, and they live next to Lake Michigan. So we all went swimming: Me, my friend, her sister, and her sister's friend. We found out shortly that they are TERRIFIED of sea weed. It's seaweed! What the hell do they think it's gonna do to them?
So there's a little inlet thing of water right next to the house, seperating the house from a cool little place to take a walk. We were going to take a walk, and my thinking was "we're wearing swimsuits anyway, lets just swim across the little inlet thing" but no. that inlet had a TON of seaweed (it was pretty shallow too), so we took the long way around... through mud that I lost my shoe in... (I got it back out somehow)

But on the way back, somehow I convinced them to swim across the inlet thing, but it turns out, me, being the only one not terrified of seaweed, had to carry the rest of them across, making sure they never even touched the seaweed. I had to make at least 7 trips across to get each of them over and their stuff they brought along, like cameras and such. >_<;;;; And then on my final way across I got my shoe stuck under the water in the mud. So. I had to dive down and get it, Everyone else was like "eww! that's so gross!" What's so gross about it?

Well, the Stupidity Particle is not that difficult to locate, as it is everywhere. Radiation merely causes it to multiply, or lose it's hair. Elimination of the stupidity particle would result in an incredible vaccuum throughout the universe, no doubt damaging much of what exists today. In addition, the blonde hair colour would be erased in it's entirety, and the United States would be without a leader until November.

The Province of Newfoundland would be void of human life. in short, the destruction of the stupidity atom could be considered Genocide.

It's actually kind of funny how people are terrified of things. I for one am terribly terrified of bugs. Not enough to run away, but my muscles start twitching when ever there is an ant collony or something like that in my sight. I'm not really fond of seaweed my self. It's like someone or something touches you from the bottom of a sea. that's what makes it gross.

slightly aboveaverage man · 06-18-2004, 12:44 AM

although I am not afraid of heights, they do make me nervous/tense. the same can be said about earwigs. no other bug makes me that edgy (unless it's a really big spider, and it catches me off guard)

Atronflame · 06-18-2004, 12:57 AM

Its weird... I can deal with scary movies while the movie is playing and it doesnt affect me at all, but since I stay up a few hours after my parents go to sleep and my house makes noises, I get afraid of the dark sometimes. Its not so much the dark, its just I worry something is going to jump out at me.

This fear is lost when I possess my knife, however.

Also, I wonder why people stop to pick up coins on the ground. They're dirty coins, and theyre prolly just pennies. I mean, for you to find one, someone must have ditched it because it wasnt worth anything. Hehe.

I do it because I'm a cheap bastard. after about a year, those pennies can add up to 30 bucks, then you can go on a small spending spree and pay for it all in pennies.

Or if you just want to get things done quick you can exchange the pennies at your local bank, then use the money to treat a friend to a nice dinner.

MasterOfMagic · 06-18-2004, 01:23 AM

I pick up change too, for the same reason

.

I'm afraid of bees. I'm not allergic, yet when I see a bee I either kill it immediatly, or cringe in fear till it flys away. God I hate bees.

And I always find myself saying "ow" when I feel the slightest impact, when it doesn't cause me any pain.
