Hey, me too! And I sometimes do that narating thing too.

Found another one:

When I have a plan or an event to go to that involves someone I like, a friend, ESPECIALLY someone i'm always nervous around (or someone I just don't talk around), someone I admire, or just someone I want to ask a question... I think up an entire convorsation. And when I say entire I mean ENTIRE. I will imagine every movement, every time someone slips up on words, exactly what every word is... Then it comes time to talk to them...I completely blank. I just...go...blank.

I can't help it.

And it's not just special events, it's every convorsation that I plan to start. If someone approaches me, I say whatever comes to mind. If I know that i'm going to see a person during the day and i'm going to talk to them, I think about everything that will or could be said (like if I see them everyday in school).

I have absolutely no problem at all with saying anything that comes to mind on the internet. Why? Because there are no voices and no actual presence of another person.
It's easy.

But in real life... basically, everything I say in everyday convorsation and phone convorsation... is either something random I thought up as I went, or some lame ass recreation or attempt to say something I thought of earlier.

My phone convorsations tend to get...quite spontaneous and random. It's always funny and I am always laughing on the phone with my friends... but it makes it seem like no one can have a serious talk with me.

I don't like it.

That last one is quite odd, Qi.

And Aniar, you sound just like me. Except I'm too lazy to think up the whole convo, I usually get bored or tired of it. I tend to think about it afterward. I really am a good comebacker (I think I just invented a new word) it's just that it takes me three days to think of a good one :roll:

The thing is, they come to me out of nowhere. Too bad they come late, eh? That's why I'm better posting online, since I have more time to think of the right words. I guess I could just make up words. That would be interesting...

the west wing, i have the episodes, except for the most recent season practically memorized, seriously, my mom started quoteing bits at me and i could say what episode it was from, and sometimes even tell the name of the episode. CJ rokcks!!

Fan Fiction, west wing, Earth 2, star trek, etc. etc., i read it I write it, it writes itself in my head whenevr i'm not thinking about anything else. i saty up 'til four in the morning sometimes just reading fan fiction.

If I go anywhere where they've got lank notbooks, I look at them, its required, and sometimes i buy them, so I've got a huge collection of half used notbooks.

I watch multiple telivision shows all at the same time, if there's and ad break i switch to one of the other things I'm watching. usually I can follow all the plots. I also read multiple books at the same time, but that's a little different.

watching movies or tv and going 'he/she looks familiar, what have i seen her before?..." and then puzzling it out, and who was in it with them, and what else *they* were in, and so on... anyone else do that?

And the narating thing i do too, although not so much composing exactly what i'm doing, but just somehting related, it's like constant background noise.

Irish dance steps. it's been a whole year and a half since i quit and still the steps play in my head and i end up tapping them out with my fingers on my leg or the table or something. also i do that with songs in my head.

How many people have music in their head, like, constantly?

me and my friend have a HUGE obsession with Jane Fonda, the old actress and first person to produce a work out video. We do Jane fonda workouts all the time. FEEL THE BURN.

Also Potato waffles.

Uhm....thats all folks.

More to update the list...

-Every time I get off the school bus and start walking to my house, I glance back twice: once when I get to a certain point away from the bus, and the second as it's pulling away. The strange thing is I know i'm doing it and I make sure to make it at the same moments each time.
-Well, this one is a nice habit, but I MUST do it so I guess you could call it an obsession... Every night I fall asleep to classical music. Get out from my shower, walk up the stairs to my room, turn on my radio to 98.7 (which I never change the station) and just fall asleep.

I was never afraid of the dark, I just don't like the silence.
