JD- 8/21-I Can't Be The Only One!

Futurama2zh6_tiny by Magnum on Comment 748 comments

 

The idea behind this Junk Drawer is simple: name something you do (keep it clean, please) that you don't think anyone else does.  Or, if you're not sure you're unique just list a quirk, peccadillo, or strange habit you have.  Revel in your weirdness!

 

I'll start.  I hardly ever focus my attention on what I'm "watching" on TV.  I'll turn on a show I like, but then go to my computer and surf the interwebz.  I do the same thing with media on my computer.  

I think I'm the only person in my generation (which I'll call the i-pod generation for these purposes) who doesn't constantly listen to music in my room.  I like the sound of silence.

I talk to myself all the time.  It's not crazy mumblings though....more like narrating my own life.

I almost never finish a meal in one sitting.  I'll eat half my food and then save it for later (usually not more than an hour).  I hear multiple small meals keep your metabolism high.

When I type I cannot leave basic words misspelled.  I go back and fix words as soon as I notice that I've misspelled them.  This is part of a larger writing quirk.  I try to make each sentence "perfect" as I go.  Essentially, I don't need to do drafts or do much proofreading because I spend so much time on the first go through.  

That's all I have for now.

 

If I use farkle in a sentence I get a cookie.

I'm totally not skinny!

Although I might go back to being skinny this winter. I tend to lose weight in the winter months for whatever reason. I got really skinny last winter, like 135ish. I never look really skinny though, because I have a wide frame and broad shoulders. I’m 155ish right now, but I put on probably 10lbs of muscle or so this summer.

Oh, I thought of another one

I imagine myself smashing my car into things and people when I drive. That minivan has a huge dent in the side? That’s because I just rammed it with my car. Pedestrians taking too long in the cross walk? Swerve and run them over! I get bored I guess. I grew up with action movies, special effects and grant theft auto video games. These scenarios just pop into my head.

I swear I’m not crazy.

My only thing with the car is that I prefer to have the door I sit next to locked, out of fear that it might swing open when moving.
The other total irrational fear I have is alien abduction. Zombies, creatures, ghosts, ghouls, Y2k, global warming, nuclear profliration, 2012 etc none of that freaks me out but aliens creepin on me during my sleep. That I can’t totally let go of.

When I was 13

I had a very freaky dream where I was “awake” but couldn’t move, and some creatures were walking in and out of my closet and messing with my feet. I kept trying to scream or turn on the light, but I was frozen and could only watch these creatures move in and out of the shadows and mess with my legs and feet.

I believe I was in that inbetween sleep-awake weird phase that can happen where your body is in sleep paralysis but you woke up during it somehow, and you can be stuck in a dream or mix the two. It was weird. It felt so real.

The same year I had a very similar dream, where I was “awake” but couldn’t move, and outside my window was a bright light and a flash and an explosion sound, and then quiet. I thought an atom bomb had gone off, and that the world was destroyed. I said to myself “so this is what it feels like to be dead… it isn’t that bad, I guess”.

I haven’t had a awake-paralysed-dream since that year. I felt silly since I was a 13 year old kid, but I hated looking at my closet and wouldn’t leave it open at night after seeing the creatures go in and out of it in that dream.

by Mortimer on Aug 21, 2009 2:17 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Eek

That’s creepy. I’m lucky I don’t remember any nightmares from when I was kid, or even if I had them. I very rarely have nightmares anyways.

The closest moment I had to the whole being dead thing is maybe 3 years ago now, where I literally felt like I had one of those “ego death” experiences, Moksha, nirvana, whatever have you. I was just sitting in front of my computer and then it was like my mind had stretched to cover the entirety of all existence.

I do a similar sentence/misspelling thing

I type very fast, and usually accurate, but when I mistype something I have to delete everything that came after it (except for special situations) or the words that came after it are cursed.

I sing to my dog and to my wife silly made up songs. My family always does silly rhyming games so I can rhyme quick-like.

I give myself little games to play throughout the day that engage in magical thinking— stuff like, “can’t grab the poop bag in my back pocket until the first Mercury poop hits the ground” or “must throw the bag of poop PERFECTLY in the corner of the dumpster so the Blazers will win tonight”. If I can toss/shoot my rolled up sock into my shoes from across the room, I win and get (blank).

I obsessively check my pockets for my keys, cell phone, and wallet. This helped me that one time I got pickpocketed in Pamplona because I knew my wallet had to have just been taken… it enabled me to know who it was and find the person and get my stuff back.

I feel like I must always be drinking something, and usually always cold. I just don’t like to not be drinking something. I drink a lot of water and diet soda.

I do the magical game thing too

Like if I kick this rock and it goes up the driveway that means she likes me.
And the wallet, cell phone, ipod thing. Too. WHAT. We are twins. That comes in handy though, I tend to have very random thoughts that I like to entertain, and will forget obvious things like that otherwise.

Pepsi One is the best one that does (in my esteemed opinion)

Diet Coke with Splenda does as well, but I don’t like how it tastes.

All Diet Shasta products do, and almost every diet energy drink does except for Diet Red Bull.

Just look for “sucralose” in the ingredients and you’ll be well on your way to deliciousness!

Me too

Not King of Queens (not really a sitcom fan, except for Reba), but I always gotta have noise… especially at night, or my thoughts drive me crazy. I get a lot of ’em.

I like to put on the Science channel while I work, or stuff like that that I DVR’d… last night’s Conan, Daily Show, Colbert, etc, though I like to pay attention to those more than not.

Like Norsktroll brought up a few months ago, it seems like I have to maximize my time. Not only surf the net and work, but I gotta watch something too and chat at the same time. Gotta do it all or I feel like I’m missing out.

It’s a sickness?

When it's dark, I hate coming back into a house or apartment I know is empty

I often think someone could be there waiting for me, or I might surprise a robber. I first have to check all rooms and behind doors to be sure. I also don’t like being home alone when the windows look into the dark. I prefer letting down the window jalousies then.

by Norsktroll on Aug 21, 2009 4:29 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

I hate windows where people can look into my place

I enjoy windows with a view, but street level windows or in a position where anyone can look in I don’t like.

I keep the blinds down because I like me privacy.

Sometimes I get a feeling and have to check all rooms when alone… but not often. However, a few weeks ago, I had a creepy instance that made me check everything… I woke up to go to the bathoom, and I think I hear something in the living room. Now, my eyes must have been playing tricks on me, but it totally looked like (in the dim moon light and shadows) that a very bony old woman was sitting on my couch and breathing heavily (couldn’t hear it, but it looked like the movement of someone breathing heavy).

I got that adrenaline rush you get when something unexpected like that happens, and quickly turn on the hallway light. Nuthin’ there. It was just my tired eyes turning nuthin’ into creepiness. It seemed so solid and bony and creepy; for a split moment I was convinced someone had broke in and was just sitting on my couch.

Even though I knew it was just my imagination, I checked every corner of the place and checked the locks twice.

Yeah, it’s not all the time, and about never when I come back just from shopping groceries, mainly when I was away longer. And sometimes I lock my bedroom door when I get that feeling.

I know someone who came home and found a guy who had come in over his terrace and was sleeping on his couch. Being a true child of web 2.0, he filmed him and tweeted about.

You got me curious about this latest Ann Coulter incident, so I looked it up.

Here’s a transcript of the conversation she had with Donny Deutsch on his TV show to which you all apparently are referring.

I don’t know much about Ann Coulter, but she apparently is a Christian. I’m a Christian too (a poor example of one, I know, but there you go…) and I think I understand what she was trying to say about Jews needing to be perfected.

  1. The Bible states that all of us are sinners (Romans 3:23), that we all have a sin nature. Jews aren’t perfect. Neither are Muslims, atheists, Rotarians, or Christians.
  2. No one becomes perfect (without sin) when they accept Christ as their lord and savior. The desire to sin is in us until we die. When a non-Christian dies, he goes to a godless eternity (Hell). When a Christian dies, God gives us a new, sinless, perfect body and nature. Until that moment, no perfection.
  3. When we put our faith in Christ, our sins are forgiven, but our sin nature does not go away because it is part of our body and mind. A Jew is not perfected by becoming a Christian anymore than a Coke becomes a Pepsi when you pop the tab. Ms. Coulter used a poor choice of words when she said that Jews become perfected by becoming Christians.
  4. The Biblical idea of perfection in this life is simply that, once saved, we are to continually submit outselves to God for him to make us more like Christ. We can’t do it without him. The more we strive to know God and submit to him, the more Christ-like we become. Perfection is a destination we can’t reach in this life, but we are to desire the goal and try to make progress in that direction by following Christ in all ways.
  5. I’m guessing that for some of you, the word perfected as Ms. Coulter used it is some kind of right-wing, Christian code for exterminated. If so, you need to examine your own motives in flapping and screeching over such a ridiculous idea as Ms. Coulter advocating the extermination of Jews.
  6. I’m also guessing that it offends some of you that any Christian would ever think that it would be a great idea for everyone to become a Christian. I suppose you’d have no problem with the idea that everyone should be a liberal or a Democrat, if you think those are good things to be, but it’s terrible for Christians to want non-believers to be saved?

Demonization of those with whom you disagree is as big a sin for liberals as it is for conservatives.

Just because I think Ann Coulter who personifies herself as a hateful, fear mongering demagogue does mean I am demonizing her. She is who she is, someone who says things, at times, I don’t even think she believes in, to get publicity and attention.

Like I wrote above, I haven't read much of her stuff,

but the few pieces I have read seemed no better or worse to me than anything that I’ve read from other writers on both sides of the political aisle.

I will say this: her poor choice of words in the interview transcript I linked above makes me wonder if she should stick to writing instead of live interviews, where she can be more precise; and whether she is trying to stir the pot to improve her visibility. If so, I can see why folks on the Left would find her obnoxious.

In any case, demonizations and generalizations usually serve no one well. Except for the jerks who cut me off in traffic, of course.

She is definitely not a devout Christian in any original meaning of the word, if that is an important criteria you

Not sure if she can be also accused of adultery, but constantly and knowingly lying, omitting and distorting things she knows better is definitely among her sins. She even lied on her voter registration form.

That she would write a book called “Godless” accusing others of being so is among the bigger ironies.

Ann Coulter certainly seems to have

got under the skin of a few folks here. As I wrote above, I’ve only read two or three of her essays over the years and none of her books, so I’m not in a position to defend her, but at the same time I’m not going to slam her just because a chorus of voices on a blog, most of whom I am guessing don’t see eye-to-eye with me on most issues, think Coulter is the Devil Incarnate.

Whether Coulter is a Christian is irrelevant to how I view what she writes. If you don’t like what she says and writes, fine, but insinuating that she may be an adulterer, or stating that she’s a loon, or a tramp, or a terrible person, or worst of all, that she has an adam’s apple, is demonizing her.

I don’t care enough about her to demonize her, and as I don’t get Fox News & Co regularly she is also little on my TV screen. I just find it ironic and rather appalling how she criticizes others for things she does herself.

As for her love life, I’m in no position to criticize her, just quote her:
“I’ve been engaged many times. Four, I think. But I’m not like every other American. I thought I’d meet the right person before getting married and having children.”

Who were these dumped fiancés? “Oh, I don’t even remember all of them. I really don’t think about exes five minutes after they’ve gone.”

She loves New York, because it’s “full of single people in their thirties”

I'm not politically driven

For the most part I ignore everything that she says on Mortimer’s grounds. But, if you were to learn everything from what has been provided in today’s JD (Your link, my link) you can see a running thread within her ideology—An ideology that at the very least suggests hierarchy of its own beliefs over those of others. Further, you see her methodology of using one paradigm of beliefs to judge those of another, which appears wrong to me, both within her own system and in any dialectic epistemological pursuit. To put it another way, she’s a Chimera, multi-faced, spewing poison.

There's no verification, but all the evidence ...

makes me believe Jamie Lee Curtis is indeed a hermaphrodite. The androgynous name and how Christopher Guest and her have adopted children indicate that she’s not 100% a she.

Anyway, with regards to most intersex people, some surgery soon after birth and horomonal supplements throughout their life can make it easy to pull off being a female.

It's possible that Ann Coulter is an intersex person, even ...

though there’s isn’t any proof whether or not that’s the case.

Regardless, there are many famous women who’ve been accused of being assigned their gender via surgery and/or hormonal supplements after being born a hermaphrodite.

Jamie Lee Curtis
Stefani Germanotta
Ciara Harris
Ann Coulter

I’d personally wager that Curtis and Germanotta are intersex, while Harris and Coulter are 100% female. That’s just my guess, though, but I’ve got reasons for those assumptions.

Curtis: http://www.snopes.com/movies/actors/jamie.asp

Germanotta’s YouTube video with supposed evidence of intersexuality is quasi-NSFW, so here’s some lyrics from “Poker Face.”

“I wanna roll with him a hard pair we will be
A little gambling is fun when you’re with me (I love it)
Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun”

[…]

“Cause I’m bluffin’ with my muffin
I’m not lying I’m just stunnin’ with my love glue-gunning”

http://www.songfacts.com/lyrics.php?findsong=14199

On a final note, Germanotta should change that nickname to “Sir Lady GaGa” if the rumors are true.

I agreed with one of the indycornrows commentors who said Granger should bribe the permit office. That stuff totally flies down here.

Crime in Lake Oswego has gotten out of control. From the Police Blotter:

8/10/09 5:20 p.m. A block party sign was stolen on Woodland Terrace. As of yet there is no suspect.

8/11/09 9:40 a.m. A valuable doormat worth $80 was taken from a front porch on South Shore Boulevard.

8/10/09 1:51 p.m. A woman is being plagued by bats flying around her house.

8/10/09 5:32 p.m. An elderly female with a walker was acting belligerent at a pharmacy.

8/10/09 7:57 p.m. A rude neighbor honked his horn.

8/11/09 8:54 a.m. Medics rushed to help a man who had fallen down in a field. It turned out he had just worked the graveyard shift, and he was tired and fell asleep.

8/11/09 3:38 p.m. A warning was issued to a vehicle that blocked the entrance to the library.

8/11/09 9:25 p.m. A mother got into a shoving match with her daughter and a friend after confronting them about smoking marijuana. The mother now wants her daughter to be drug tested by police.

8/12/09 8:21 a.m. A transient was drinking beer, yelling and shouting at nobody in particular. When contacted by police, the man said he was talking to his dog and didn’t realize he was being so loud.

8/12/09 3:57 p.m. After reporting someone had broken into her residence, a woman discovered that the culprit was her daughter.

8/13/09 3:25 p.m. What appeared to be a young child was driving a Volkswagen Passat. However, it turned out the driver has a medical condition that makes him look like a 10-year-old child.

8/13/09 7:19 p.m. A woman returned home to find that a large brown dog had been placed in her fenced yard. The dog later disappeared.

8/14/09 3:57 p.m. A man was charged with hit & run/property after he drove his truck into a stop sign and broke it in half.

8/15/09 11:19 a.m. A woman sought to speak with the motorist who had treated her quite rudely, first appearing like she would not stop when the reporting person was in a crosswalk, then shouting at her.

8/15/09 6:37 p.m. A 15-year-old girl ran away from home after saying she would be home on Wednesday. She has a pierced lower lip and wears skater/punk clothes.

He is funny. No government in Europe wants to admit that he is a pretty autocratic ruler who has suppressed the opposition for years. And despite obvious terror attacks on tourists people consider it a good tourist destination (which it is for it’s attractions and the Red Sea). Similar in some other North African countries that would have elected an Islamic government a long time ago when obeying democratic principles.

Apparently Thailand was at one point heavily influenced by the Khmer empire in Cambodia, who themselves were heavily influenced by Hinduism. In the wiki page it says Hinduism was an official state religion of Khmer along with Buddhism until the 13th century.

Yup.

Since I spent a year in Cambodia, and a month in Bangkok, I can say for certain, they are very much Theravada. Statues of Hindu gods everywhere, and most of the Angkor Wat complex is dedicated to your friendly gods Shiva and Krisna.

Theravada Buddhism is more like Hinduism than it is like American new age Buddhism.

President Robert Mugabe 31 December 1987 Zimbabwe
Emperor Akihito 7 January 1989 Japan
Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei 4 June 1989 Iran
President Omar al-Bashir 30 June 1989 Sudan

I had the idea from a graphic in TIME. Niger just removed term limits, and now Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Gambia, Burkina Faso, Niger, Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, Angola, Libya, Egypt, Eritrea, Chad, Sudan, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Lesotho and Swaziland have in reality or de facto no constitutional term limits for their rulers.

The guy ruling Equatorial Guinea (#9 on the list) must be fun. He is little known on the world stage and officially just a president, but the state-owned radio has to call him a god and “in contact with the Almighty”.

In more news but not really news, the Timberpuppies still think they'll get Rubio this year

http://www.thesportsbank.net/minnesota-timberwolves/wolves-hope-rubio-situation-solved-soon/

Sources close to the Wolves and thesportsbank.net believe the chances of Rubio playing in Minnesota continue to increase by the day. With Kahn in Spain this week, a deal appears to be nearing completion and the announcement could be coming soon.
One possible delay for any Rubio announcement would be the news of Brett Favre signing with the Minnesota Vikings this week. The Vikings have grabbed all the national headlines and if Rubio does announce that he is coming to Minnesota, the Timberwolves likely will steal some national attention even now, a few months before the season begins.

Yeah, right…

Now NY media is probably scrambling to make up another “Rubio to NY” rumor.

I think he’s one of the better basketball minds on the site… he may have different thoughts than most, but they’re logically founded. He’s just a bit abrasive, leading to the very distinctive identity he has on Sonicscentral.

I usually agree with AK

But when he likes someone or hates someone, just like anyone else his biases color his opinion. His favorites get the benefit of the doubt, while he hopes Bayless dies in a fire.

AK is the first to tell us he is human, so it’s okay.

I have to confess that, although at first his

 arrogance grated on me, now it just makes me smile. He’s a good boy at heart but he likes to think of himself as a maverick. It’s cute and I’d miss him if he left. He’s intelligent and has a lot of BB knowledge. Someone needs to take a pumice stone to his people skills sometimes but, bottom line, you can count on an honest response from his POV.

I think it's sorta the chicken and the egg

He likes hard noses, hustling tough players, and it just so happens those guys are usually white because if you aren’t that athletic you have to make up for it by having a hard nose and hustling and being tough.

And everyone will agree and spread the rumor that AK’s favorite player is Rashad McCants.

It should be a player who is at least a credible defender

Andrei Kirilenko. Darius Songaila. Sam Dalembert. All have on/off stats even above Foster.

by Norsktroll on Aug 21, 2009 11:31 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I just think it'd be funny if he loves all these defense focused tough nosed guys

But his favorite black player is a undersized useless gunner like Rashad McCants.

Indeed, moreover

If you surround a true superstar in the making such as Rashad Tiberius McCants with the skilled and hard working role players a scorer such as him deserves, that team would indeed, however, moreover, win the title.

You could add that the K in AK stands for Kardashian, and he is Kloe’s step brother from the first marriage of Bruce Jenner, and initially just liked McCants because he was with his sister but now it’s much more… (that was Kloe Kardashian if I’m not mistaken).

My adopted Indian brethren of the NBA are Chris Paul and LaMarcus.
CP has kind of a stocky, untoned body that fits right in with Indian people, plus some of his features look sort of brown. LMA could literally pass for an Indian person is he had straight hair, and was skinnier.
