People can be so wierd...

[EVILNess]

You won't really think this is odd unless I give you a little background about my town's school system.

At one point our Junior High (Grades 7-8) was headed by the most comical woman you will ever see. Mrs. Jones' most noticiable features are her long (3 Inches or more) nose and her hair. If you think you have ever seen big hair, think again. This oman had hair soooo big it looked like a bad wig. In fact for a long time it was debated whether or not it actually was a wig. Keep that in mind its important. She was aptly named "The Bird Lady of MJHS"

Enter my friends and I. There is me, Sam, Joseph, Deus, and James. All of us have our little quirks but the quirkest was joseph. He had this complex where he never , and I mean never, turned down a challenge. Keep this in mind too its important. One day we were talking and The Bird came up. Somehow the topic of her hair came up and Joseph vowed to find out the truth. We all had a laugh and dismissed the idea.

About two weeks later, Sam and I are walking to 3rd period when Joseph hops the side of the stairs and pounces on Mrs. Jones, grabbing her hair in mid-air and bringing her down to the ground face first. Standing there in the hall with a bloody piece of hair (real hair) all he could do was stare in disbelief at the fact that it was real. With a loud gasp from the onlookers and a loud BANG from the sound of The Bird's face smacking the ground, Joseph became a legend at MJHS.

After three harrowing days we found out that Joseph got off scott free, with only a three day suspension as punishment. Mrs. Jones was not allowed to admister the punishment due to her obvious hate toward him. The V-Principal couldn't bring himself to punish my friend. Why? He said he wanted to do the same thing for years.

Afterward....
Joseph now works in his father's comic store.
The Bird was promoted to some better paying job, never to darken the halls of MJHS again.
Sam now wastes his life away on the things that truly matter in life. 8-Bit theater and video games.
I'm getting ready to attend college.

Moral: I don't know... but it was pretty damn funny.

I'm terrified of deep water. I will not go into any water where I can't stand on the bottom and have at least my face above the surface.

This comes from a couple near-drowning experiences when I was young =/ I can't stand not being able to breathe. It just triggers a panic reaction inside me, even when I make myself completely aware of my surroundings and concentrate. I just can't do it. Can't even rationalize it.

Not so much what I'd call weird as actually completely understandable, given the circumstances.

Hey... you know, you could secretly be a superhero. When was the last time you took a sick day at work?

[Pretty Mary K]

Is this topic actually about something?

I enjoy rain.

[MasterOfMagic]

Its supposed to be about people's weird reactions to things, so... no, not really.

I like to play in rain.

[Lost in Time]

Whats wierd is whenever the phone rings, I say phone, even if someone is walking to it. Its a bad habit I must get rid of. Quite wierd.

[Vicious]

Whenever I see an animal, I feel compelled to catch it, cuddle it, snoogle it, and call it George. Did that with a snake, yesterday. Not too bright. D'oh.

I also hate/fear bees. But I have a very good reason for it. When I was younger a herd of them attacked me. God that was awful. Now when ever I see a bee, I run as far as I can from it. It's an instant reaction. As for bugs, I hate them, because all of them end up in my room. My room has had a bug infestation every spring for the last two years. This year i had some ants in my room. It couldent have been many, but two at least.

I hope your kidding Vicious.

To the guy who said earwigs...I totally agree. I hate those things. On top of just being creepy-looking beyond all description, when I was younger, my older brother told me earwigs where the bugs Khan used to control people in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan."

Aren't older siblings great.

I also hate spiders. Well...not all kinds of spiders. I'm okay with Hunter spiders (I don't know if that is the real name, or just what my family calls them) because we always have at least one in our front room on the ceiling just hanging out.

However, spiders with long, skinny legs, or dangling spiders freak me out. ::shudders::

A herd of Bees? what were they doing, grazing in the flowers?

I believe you are refering to Wolf Spiders/ Jumping spiders.

When was the last time you took a sick day at work?

They call me Mr. Glass.

This comes from a couple near-drowning experiences when I was young

I once nearly drowned in a kiddie pool when I was about 6. I was just walking through the shallow water, when I stepped on a little Island-like outcropping. I slipped on the side of it and slid down under the water. for the life of me, there was no traction on the side, every time I tried to stand/crawl out, I'd slip and remain under water. It was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life... Right up there with choking on a strawberry while my family ignored me. Luckly my Uncle waded in and picked me up out of the water. Everyone thought it was a joke and teased me about it, but I nearly died.
