Oh, yeah, and I found two things incredibly amusing today:
1) On the way to the study abroad fair, I walked by the Hibbs building. I then thought "You know, it'd be really nice to go in and visit my English 101 professor, I wonder if I'll have time soon..."
GUESS FRIGGEN WHAT -- no sooner did I think that, she walked by me and we chatted a minute or two. She's doing well and she remembered me :O
I hate it when I think about a thing, mull it over once or twice quickly and think it through once again really well -- whatever I'm thinking about usually happens and it SCARES THE FRIGGEN HELL OUT OF ME.
Once I was reading a Sherlock Holmes story -- "A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link." Three times. BOOM chain on the livestock trailer breaks and the trailer bounces off the hitch and we're stuck trying to get it back on in the middle of the back-roads with no jack.
Once I was on a field trip to the VA Marine Science Museum. Reading The Iron Dragon's Daughter. Came to a line (roughly) "...he put the crow bar between the door and the jamb, pushed, and the door flew open." We're on a charter bus at the time... and I was really REALLY interested in the occult and in general magic. EVERYONE knew. I'm sitting there pondering the root of the word 'jamb' trying to figure out where the word came from... re-read it about three times and then FWOOSH the door on the bus flew open WHEN WE WERE DRIVING DOWN AN INTERSTATE. Freaked me out and I refused to read anything else the rest of the ride.
Everyone blamed me for it :x Then they freaked out when I showed them the part of the book I was reading at the time the door flew open.
2) I bought a brush, yeah? It's the smallest little bristled brush I've ever set eyes on for such a very very low price. Even smaller than the $2.50 one I bought near the beginning of the month (this one was just under $2, too!) -- someone recognised me in the store from AFO last year and saw me plundering through the clearance boxes and pull this small brush out, triumphantly.
"Suits you, doesn't it? You do all of those insanely detailed things."
People know me all too well :3
