( Small annoyances. )

I think the amount of caffeine it would take to kill someone is the same amount it would take to bring them back to life ( Read more... )

My favorite typo/transposition is 'thigns'. Whenever I play a video game where you can name your pet, I always name them Thigns or Mr. Thigns ( Read more... )

One thing I never really liked about myself is that I can be over-sensitive about being embarrassed. It's not that I take myself all that seriously (How could I? I'm a goofball.), it has more to do with being kind of a late bloomer as a kid (heck, as an adult), and a bit odd to boot, and feeling like growing up was one long string of discoveries ( Read more... )

I have decided that I don't like roller coasters. In fact, I would pay money to experience whatever the opposite of a roller coaster is. I think it would involve a few hours spent in a hammock, a vanilla milkshake, and maybe some narcotics. Where's the line for that ( Read more... )

In the past month, two different retail salespersons have told me that my 'thank yous' sound very sincere.

Only then would I stand up and greet my friend with a "Hi" that sounds half-hearted in comparison. And if, in a moment ( Read more... )

I like how if you stare at an object long enough while ineffectually reaching out your arm and making Jedi hand wave motions at it, eventually someone will notice (or be concerned) and bring the object to you. Or how when I was just thinking out loud about how I needed some coasters and a few days later my sister showed up at my door, said "Here", ( Read more... )

Usually, no matter how open-minded, a guy would never flip through the evening newspaper while smoking a pipe and then think to himself, "Hurm, Bridget Jones's Diary, I could go for some of that," but, for whatever reason, I recently went through a small spate of chick flicks. I think there's a certain part of my brain that needed to be soaked in ( Read more... )
