How often do you feel like this? How often are you right?

I sometimes get this sudden rush of panic when thinking about my day, a feeling of "oh no!" what did I say that for, and why didn't I realise it at the time what was I saying?? It's often turning a minor thing into a major crisis in my mind.

Phew, do you want a list? There are moments that sometimes come to mind from twenty years ago and more. Weird, really weird.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 15 October 2004 16:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah! I get that feeling of something from years ago too. Like "Oh my, that was really bad chucking orange juice at such and such"

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 15 October 2004 16:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh wait, Jel, as long as you here -- what's the comp status? :-)

I plan to get all the tracks down onto one master CD this weekend, then on to getting the copies made in the next couple of weeks.

Cue Gabbo saying, "I'm a baaaad widdle boy."

Earlier tonight, waiting for the shuttle train, this attractive lass comes up to me and asks, "Do you know anything about this shuttle train?" I look at her sort of blankly and say, "It goes back and forth." She gets a little flustered and says, "I mean, do you know how often?" I tell her, "It varies. This time of day, shouldn't be more than 10 minutes." She nods and walks away. I immediately wonder if I was too much of a smartass with my first answer and if she's currently standing there, waiting for the train, thinking, god what a dick. Then I wonder why smartassery is my first response so often. Insecurity on my part, or arrogance? Then I decide she's probably not thinking about me at all, since she seems to be in a hurry to get somewhere and that's her main concern. Then the train comes.

My wife has an uncanny ability to make me feel this way. She's not especially confrontational, but when she's pissed off or in a mood, it's immediately apparent (though she'll deny anything's wrong -- letting me stew in it). It's wildly frustrating, as i'm the sort that would rather air out the problem and get it over with. Moreover, I'm not always that savvy with identifying whatever it may be that I've done to piss her off -- leaving me guessing painfully. It's the only area where we really have a communication breakdown.

i feel your pain, alex. seriously.

sigh.

It's hard to tell if strangers have a sense of humour. Maybe we should
carry identification of some kind to determine that we do in fact enjoy humour. Then again, some people are not particularly humourless -- just dumb.

And does anyone think they have a bad sense of humour?

― Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Saturday, 16 October 2004 03:35 (twenty-one years ago)

no, every individual thinks they are normal in every way.

saddam probably thinks he's a real stand-up guy.

germans may just be funny to other germans.

ilxors probably think it's normal to spend most of their day hunched over a keyboard snarfling at the witty comments of others.

fucked up.

not true.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 16 October 2004 21:40 (twenty-one years ago)

true. but some people wonder why everyone else is so weird.

angsty individuals often make-believe that they are different, however. this justifies their acting strangely. it wears off by middle age, usually.

Alex, you're not alone. this is just common ~~male/female~~ human dynamics

you have to be drinking milk to snarfle. preferably with some kind of breakfast cereal.

sometimes i start to sweat. why did you have to bring this up?

― bulbs (bulbs), Sunday, 17 October 2004 00:19 (twenty-one years ago)

that reminds me of anchorman. in juxtaposition.

Some of us are fortunate in that we're never wrong
