Strange things you've noticed recently

OT: I just found out that I have attached earlobes, which is apparently kind of rare

Now I've just found out I have attached earlobes, which is apparently kind of rare.

I keep having deja vu moments, even when there is no "trigger" present.

A trigger is something that causes to you to remember a moment or event, so the next time that you remember a similar moment or event, it is because the same trigger is involved.

A recent deja vu moment is when I was looking at the television and I saw a scene on the news that occurred three years ago. The thing is that I don't remember what triggered me to remember that scene and why I'm remembering it now.

I just realized a few months ago that I'm one of the few non-whites in my entire neighborhood. Also, some of my neighbors are afraid of me. And that's just hilarious.

I once heard a girl say that she doesn't drink water because she doesn't like the taste.

I've recently had several lesbians tell me I'm attractive to them. I'm male. Go me.

I just had to fill out the exact same captcha twice within the same 5 minutes.

 

[username sucks]

I just realized a few days ago that I can dislocate my left shoulder on command.

Also, I just realized that the guy that keeps killing all my friends and family in my recurring nightmare has the same face and hair as I do, so now I am freaked the fuck out and probably won't sleep again.

I don't drink water because it tastes bad. I would only drink water if im dying of thirst, otherwise, nope.

Are... are you that same girl?

Just noticed something now: Google Chrome likes to auto-correct dissapointment by turning it into appointment. Apparently, Google Chrome does not recognize dissapointment as a word, which is rather optimistic in the most useless way possible.

Nope. Im a guy.
Anyways, also just realized that after taking 3 years of spanish class the most I can say in Spanish is "I don't speak Spanish".

I've noticed that the Doritos Locos taco is delicious. What, it's weird to me?

 

[Tsun Tzu]

Time seeming to fly by now that I'm in my mid twenties is due, chiefly, to my relative perception of time and its only going to get worse as I age.

Also, I could have learned and mastered the guitar had I begun practicing when my mom offered to teach me about a decade ago, rather then clumsily starting now by myself.

I suppose it's just a series of realizations...one after the other. Life's fun.

 

[Jfswift]

I keep seeing exactly one shoe on the side of the road.

I understand why you would say that, as that sounds disgusting, I have no idea how you dared to eat that.

No no. To be serious, sometimes I see people laying on the floors of my school. Just sitting there in groups of 3 or more. I say hi and they say hi back, but they just chill there most of the time. Even when sprinklers come on. :O

Even if they have notebooks?
Because I wouldn't want my notes to get wet.

OT: Actually I just realized there's a lot of Darks[footnote]As in the fashion/subculture/whatever the hell it actually is.[/footnote] in this city, which is strange to me, because it's a desert and the average temperature is between 35/45°C and 30° is considered cool[footnote]It's also pretty damn dry.[/footnote], if you've ever seen a Darkie, Darko?, whatever, I think you'll understand why I find it strange.

- I haven't had television in nearly 2 months, and I haven't really missed it much at all.

I haven't' had it in like three years, and I don't really miss it. Which is weird, because I thought I would. (edited because I chose the wrong word)

I think that's only if your accent is American. If it's British English "Don" and "Dawn" sound quite distinct. I think you'll need quite a southern drawl to make "Don" sound anything like "Dawn".

My Southern girlfriend is a stark reminder of just how "Yankee" my accent is, and I still pronounce Don and Dawn the same way. I'm not sure what you think a Southern drawl is, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't mean what you think it means.

Well, now that you mention it...I have been feeling this burning sensation...

Have you recently sold your soul? I noticed that for the first few months and then I just...Errr...I've said too much.

I've realised I spend way too much time on the Escapist. And I love it.

That the world never changes, only peoples perceptions of it change.

 

[Kae]

That the world never changes, only peoples perceptions of it change.

Care to explain?
I mean it isn't really hard to see that the world it's in constant movement, new technologies keep being developed, cities grow, volcanoes surface from below the water, new islands rise, I mean even the poles are melting, isn't that all evidence that it's always changing?
Or did you mean something more Philosophical and less literal?
But anyway literally speaking, it's in constant movement, it's always changing, even if it's just a little.

Jean jackets.
I mean, what the hell?

Why is it acceptable for women to wear jean jackets around and not dudes? The last male human I saw wearing a jean jacket was some kid at a truckstop up in Maine, and I'm not even sure that counts. I just want to flaunt my sweet denim duds, but social stigmas against men in jean jackets are forming a societal lockout.
We need equality, and we need it now.

what you need is the 90's back

And a sweet mustache.

My uncle and I recently built a sandbox for my little cousin. We bought two ten foot 2x10s, and the two of us were discussing with my aunt about what dimensions it should be. I noticed that a 5 foot by 5 foot box would be 25 square feet, a 6x4 box would be 24 square feet, and a 7x3 one would be 21 square feet despite the fact that they would all use the same amount of wood.

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

Well, I just noticed a couple of days ago that I tend to grab my right arm or my ribcage like if I was hurt, when I'm nervous, just when I was starting to think I'd be good at poker, it turns out I do have a tell -.-'

Do you follow it up with a dramatic scream, like you have just been shot? And stick the other arm in the air, in a pained cry for help, as though you were reaching out for someone to grab you...?

'Cos that would be a huge tell!

OT: I was in a pub quiz last night, and found out about some of the stranger versions of the Barbie doll...:

Spoiler: Weird Barbies...

Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds Barbie

Pregnant Barbie

Star Trek Barbie

Bald Barbie

As well as a wheelchair version, grandma version and finally, a version where she has to pick up her dogs shit...

Wow...

Not really, but maybe I should start.
I've never played poker, I thought those kinds of things were a big deal.

What the hell is up with the pregnant one?
It looks like something out of a horror film.
