Alright, confess odd things.

For example, I'm jealous to my big brother becuase he discovered The Smiths first. Dammit, now I can't have a crush for Morrisey without feeling weird about it.

@arilou: Saint stories make most people feel like that.

I still cry when I wake up because in my dreams I can still run, but I will invariably laugh later on because I remember that I couldn't run without tripping before the accident.

I have an annoying tendency to rebel against the writer, especially in romantic stories. I tend to much prefer the couple *I don't think is going to win*.

But it's still satisfying when I'm wrong.

I confess that I kinda envy those who can just drop out of society, like The Unabomber and various CrimethInc members. I'm just too attached to hot showers and the internet (not to mention steady meals, a bed et al.) to go for it myself.

[Ed.] Oh yeah, I have a morbid fascination with the Unabomber. I also like to read on serial killers and cults, but I reserve some respect for Unabomber. He's a very scary figure.

@Jethro, page previous: I love to play pretend and will happily indulge anyone who wishes to do so with me. I can't vouch for my relative cuddle-ability, Meaty, but I'd love to have a sky-pirate tea party with you! I definitely want a significant other who likes indulging in that same sort of whimsical "OK, now let's build a fort in our living room with the couch cushions!" thing.

As for supernatural occurances? I saw a freaky UFO one that resembled a flying orange ice cream cone and another one that looked like two balls circling around each other in a rotating manner. And on meeting unearthly figures, I am reasonably certain I almost went to visit another dimension once, but was foiled in the process by an evil sorcerer. If only because no dream of mine has ever been like that, or worked like that, ever again.

Hot showers? Whazzat mean? I'm especially curious becuase a friend of mine uses that as his alias online.

Anyway, better keep this on-topic. Sometimes I look at hentai when I'm bored. I don't fap to it or anything. It's just entertaining. Sometimes, anyway. A lot of the time it's just dull. Still, I've noticed quite a few common tropes and formulae in hentai. It's also fun to do an MST 3 K-style riffing on whatever I'm reading at the moment.

I should probably mention that I've also seen quite a lot of Rule 36. If nothing else, it builds up my resistance to shock sites. Not much can squick me out these days, though there are exceptions.

So yeah. I've compared my mind to The Necronomicon in the past.

Edit: the above it probably rather squicky to most people so I've spoiler'd it.

I kind of want to be a fanatic. Just to be so energetic about something. I almost miss being an atheist because I used to get so pissed about creationism.

I'm not an atheist and I get pissed about creationism.

I consider myself a lousy Christian.

There is a bizarre lone hair growing on the middle of my left ring finger, between the fingertip joint and the middle joint. There's a single follicle, and out of this follicle grows an unusually long peach-fuzz fine hair that can barely be seen. I have plucked this before and it always grows back.

I am not only an atheist, I believe that nothing supernatural or paranormal exists, and that only science can explain reality.

I usually keep this to myself, though, except in certain groups.

I am times seriously wonder what it'd be like to be a man or intersexed. I then get scared and drop the topic for a few days.

On a more simple note...I really, really like Final Fantasy Mystic Quest and was greatly suprised to find out that so many dislike it.

When I was little, I used to wish I was a girl.

I still sometimes wonder what I'd have been like as a lesbian.

I... like the sound of people smacking when they eat. There's limits, but generally, when I'm calm and it's quiet and I can hear someone eat close to me, it gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling inside.

I think part of it is just that, hey, it's a sign of life from someone, which is nice. But I think I can trace it back to my childhood. I used to listen to these cassettes with stories on them to help me fall asleep, and there was one where there was a witch who had been alone for a long time inside a cave behind a waterfall in a place that was so cold the waterfall was frozen, and the good guys came and brought her some soup to eat, and you could hear the sounds of her gobbling it up, and it was always like "awwww". So Yeah.

Also, dance music makes me feel like crying sometimes. You know, a lot of those dance-y songs actually use really shrill and high-pitched sounds, and I think those sound really sad, like someone crying in agony! I wonder if anyone else thinks so...

Also...

... I skipped the rest of the thread. Sorry. ._.

PS: Oh, I also think sometimes that I would've had it easier as a girl! But then again, I would be so hot, I would've lost my virginity a lot earlier because I'd probably still be as naive as I am now so some guy would probably seduce me, but then I would've lost my naivety much earlier and become cynical and... ... hum.

I remember when I was about five or something, we had a fancy dress party at the kindergarden, and I was an angel, with a clip-on pearl earring. I remember that moment, being there, and thinking that I really would like to be a girl, because they get all the nice things.

I don't think I've had any similar experiences later, but it was a hint of what was to come.
