Ransoms and Ramblings

Strange things part two!

-"Those are very sad peas."

-Occasionally, half of my hand falls asleep while the other half does not. Very strange sensation.

-I say "ow" whenever something startles me. Loud noise? Ow. Dropped something? Ow. Stepped on someone by accident? Ow.

-I have to be doing things with my hands constantly.

-I managed to hit myself in the face with a green pea ball that got shot out of a pea pod.

-I cannot wear tank tops. Or crop tops. Or long-sleeved shirts, although jackets are fine.

-I also refuse to wear shorts that end above the knee, or skirts, or dresses.

-I'm not of the opinion that a great game/movie/whatever always needs a sequel. They're frequently ruined by lackluster follow-ups.

-My dad read The Hobbit to me as a bedtime story when I was like five. I started the Lord of the Rings series a few years later, and I swear it took me like three years to get past Bilbo's birthday party.

-I started reading the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy when I was maybe ten. I couldn't get past the jogger people, and I think I only really finished it when I was like thirteen.

-I am frequently unable to tell if I'm hungry, full, or (occasionally) vomit-sick.

-I've never had braces.

-I'd honestly sign up for an ancient warfare class if that was an available option at my school.

-ThunderClan and Gryffindor are Highly Overrated.

-I'm 99% sure the vast majority of my few Warriors OCs are ShadowClan cats.

-I occasionally dream short clips of the future. Once, I had a future-dream about a scene in another dream I had not too long ago, which led to a weird "I dreamt this before" moment while I was dreaming.

-I have these weird "shivers" pretty frequently, which result in me shuddering back a step and other people giving me weird looks and probably worrying about my sanity.

-I've run the mic board the last few shows we've had, and whenever I get the indicator that someone offstage is talking, I'm always extremely tempted to unmute their mic and display what they're saying on the loudspeaker.

-I have these two scabs on the backs of my shoulders which I pick at constantly. There's a series of what feel like permanent goosebumps across my back under them.

-apparently I'm funny?? especially when I'm too tired to pay attention to what I'm saying

-I freak out whenever Megan (our pug, you've seen her) licks me, because she does NOT lick people often. It's basically the equivalent of your post/meme/whatever going viral, I guess?

-It's very rare for any of my dreams to be set even in the same world, let alone with the same characters or connected with one another.

-It's also rare for fandoms or people I know in real life to show up in my dreams, although the latter is becoming more frequent.

-I know what a fortnight is. I also hate Fortnite.

-Sometimes I'm irritable when I'm tired and/or on my period. Not always, though. Normally I'm just a bit more wire-edged.

-I'm pretty good with picking up words or phrases in new languages. It's remembering them that's difficult.

-I apparently Very Much seem more like a kid who takes Latin for their required language course at our school than a Mandarin taker. It's become a running joke between me and Soup (a friend, don't ask).

-As far as I'm aware, I don't suffer from depression, anorexia, bulimia, or any other disorder or mental health condition. This might make me a minority on the internet?

I should publish this.
