@Leeli: SAME

Sometimes I catch myself like having arguments wiht myself in my head and weird stuff like that. I talk to myself and have some pretty interesting thoughts. It's literally like I'm two people sometimes... 

Glad to know I'm not the only one!

I have this weird habit where whenever I'm bored I have a conversation with myself, and then fifteen minutes into the conversation I stop and trace my conversation in my head. Like, I ask myself "Why am I thinking about this?" and then I answer: "Well, you were thinking about bugs and that made you think about mud pies with bugs in them and that made you think about a weird movie you saw once with bugs in it and that made you think of the movie Coraline and that made you think of button eyes and that reminded you that the button eyes in Coraline are the same color as your dog's eyes." I do this seriously all the time. And when I think I'm alone, I say it out loud... and then someone walks in and hears half of my conversation with myself. And then things get really embarrassing. 

Ps. Sorry to all the people who don't like bugs...

I do that too! It's not weird! (It probably is weird. I'm weird. We're all weird.)

That's not weird, I do that all the time! I do that with my friends too— "Wait, how did we start talking about this?" "Well, first we were talking about our schedules and then Daisy said she had a double free next and then you said, remember the time during free period Daisy tried to take a selfie with a squirrel and then we looked at the photos and started arguing about what to name the squirrel and convinced Kai to photoshop it onto my shoulder—" Et cetera.

Yeah, that’s not weird, I do that all the time, too! Usually in my head, often while I’m trying to fall asleep.

1) One time I was at the mall with some of my friends, and me and my friend Daisy were doing a high-kick competition. I was wearing heeled boots, so when I went to do the kick I slipped and FELL onto my back right in the center of a very crowded plaza and lay there hysterically laughing for a solid minute while various strangers/friends tried to ask me if I was okay and get me to stand up. 

2) Sometimes... when I'm doing my makeup... or getting ready to go out or cleaning my room or something...  I pretend I'm vlogging it. Like I'll mentally talk to an invisible camera and try to make witty comments. 

3) I do not particularly care for heights. Once we went on a school trip to this camp-thing and did a ropes course and I got stuck up there and was crying and refused to move and they had to come up there and drag me down like I was a kitten in a tree or something. That was humiliating.

4) I STILL CRINGE THINKING ABOUT THIS. Literally three days ago I was going to the theater at my school with my friend Kai to sign up for a thing, and the Very Scary director of the drama department was at the door. When she asked us what we were going into the theater for I just. FORGOT HOW TO SPEAK AND STUTTERED LIKE CRAZY and then she told us we weren't allowed to be in the theater. I CANNOT BELIEVE MYSELF. THERE WERE A BUNCH OF UPPERCLASSMEN THERE TOO. (Kai and I have an agreement that the incident Never Happened.) It's worse because I'm into theater and stuff but I don't take the class so she doesn't know me very well and that's probably what she'll remember the next time she sees me at an audition or something. GAHHH.

5) Oh, man, another time I was walking across the street (also at school) and while this was happening one of the teachers went up to the crossing guard and offered him a slice of pizza. I always say "thank you" to the crossing guards and I happened to say it at THE SAME TIME the teacher said, "I brought you some pizza" and it sounded like I was thanking her for the pizza. UGHHHH.

6) This isn't embarrassing so much, but I always like to pretend that my life is a movie filmed in first person. As if what I'm seeing is the shot in a film, y'know? I especially like to do this when I'm walking home from school. I purposely do a slow-pan glance across the particuarly pretty areas of the neighborhood.

7) I do the thing someone else said (Jwyn, I think?) where you imagine someone is in your head seeing everything that you do and reacting to it. The difference is that I am highly self-absorbed and I fantasize about said person-in-my-head being like, "Wow! Her life is so great! She's so cool and talented and has so many friends!" and stuff. Man, that's embarrassing to admit. (It's a GREAT ego boost though.)

I guess this might be a combo of what other people have said.

Sometimes when I'm supposed to be taking a shower I will look at myself in the mirror and take a bunch of different poses and pretend I'm a movie star, and you know how I said that I sometimes pretend all my class is with me?

Well sometimes I will talk to them (heh heh I'm actually talking to myself) about, ya know, Jith or my fav movie or my writing -- Tuesday it was actually the CB I was talking about.

And when I read a book or book series, I will sort of make up either an alternate ending or a sort of very long epilogue. I did this multiple times with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows; I have like ten different fantasies of Draco apologizing to Harry for being so mean (cuz I was really mad that he didn't) and also about 6 of Harry and Ginny's reunion afetr Deathly Hallows, and it was sort of funny cuz I would be like "do I want to keep working on this fantasy? nope, I'll make a new one -- oh yeah here's this old one I forgot about" like I'm sorting thru my mental files. Which are pretty disorganized, let me tell you. Like sometimes two things will be randomly linked in my mind -- like the word "kind" and the color purple. There's just a mental chain between the two for me.

Well this has turned into more of a "The Biography of Spiffycat/Jithkeeper's Mind" so I think I'll stop now. :) 

Oh yeah sorry I just really have wanted to post this picture and I thought why not since we're all just being weird and random here especially me:

(and I guess this picture could count as an embarrasing fact about me too, if you know anything about Minecrraft)

I just remembered another time during free period when I was doing homework in the library and Cute Boy came over to talk to me but I had my earbuds in and was listening to music so I didn't notice him standing awkwardly there saying, "Uh, Abi? Abi?" until my friend shoved me and made me look up. Ughdfhhg *dies*

I first heard of D&D on Cricket, and I’d never heard of it before, and for the longest time I thought it was a video game.

I picture D&D as like, a game on a gameboy or something. What is it??

My friend, who I might-sorta-kinda-maybe have a crush on, always ends up right next to me no matter what. It's really creepy, like we're stalking each other. 

I have triscadecaphobia (I think that's how you spell it). It's..........
