I just caught myself...

    doing something a bit stupid.

    Sitting listening to some music through some head phones. One of the songs starts off in just the left side, and fades across to the right completely.

    At the start, just before the slide across, I tilted my head to "pour" the music down my ear, and when it "ran" completely through, I straightened my head, and gave it a jerk to the left to "flatten" out the balance of the sound just before song itself started.

    Sitting thinking to myself, that worked out well. Then I thought it was odd. So I came here, to throw myself at the mercy of AH. Was that odd?

    I always tilt my head 180 to read an inverted PDF document, event though Adobe have provided me with a perfectly functional rotate function.

    Who am I to judge?

    OP needs a blog. But in answer to OP's question, it doesn't sound that odd in the grand scheme of things, no one was hurt, and OP probably had fun. Its not like OP caught OP's ma fapping to a dirty film or something.

    Sometimes I make motorbike noises when I turn corners on my bicycle. I can't afford a motorbike :(

    Easier than rotating the monitor though.
    What was the song?

    Alanis Morissette, Narcissus. Don't ask my why, Winamp's on shuffle.

    I recommend you blaze 2 and see me in the morning.

    Do I have time to get shoes on? I'm wearing sock. Singular. I don't know where the other one is.

    Do you ever make screechy noises when you're going around a corner in a friends car, even though he's not going that fast? Or pretend you're in a chase movie when you're in a taxi?

    When I play the following song in the car, the start of it goes from the left to the right also.

    This is also true. Almost crashed more than once doing this while I'm driving.

    The first evening I got my Nintendo Wii a couple of years ago, I kept trying to change discs using the Wiimote.

    One Friday night a bunch of us gals were out driving and we saw these guys we know turn onto the road we were on a little farther ahead of us. My friend sped up real fast and was flickering her headlights from high to low beam. Us gals hung our heads out the window and at the same time made a real loud sound like a siren, they pulled over and we drove past waving and laughing.

    I ride a motorcycle cause I can't afford not to with the prices of gas.

    Do you do it loudly, or just in your head?

    If you do it in your head, I'd imagine there would be a little giggle every time you *ding* and a furtive glance around to see if you've been spotted?

    If you haven't been spotted, do you do it again, *ding* a little louder, giggle, and another glance around?

    Just asking like, cos if you did, that would be odd.

    ahem.

    Often when I'm having a quality shit on the toilet, i'll sit there with a mars bar and push it into my mouth whole, whilst pushing out a shit at the same rate. It makes me feel like a conveyor belt.

    Am I weird?

    I lean to the sides when playing any motor racing game on the PS3. I swear it helps!

    I remember one morning I was sitting in my living room listening to a seminar speech on my portable CD player. For some reason, I got up to go do something and thought I had paused the thing. When I came back into the room I completely forgot that I'd been listening to the CD. So I picked up a book and started reading it. I have a fish tank that at the time only had one fish in it, his name was Frank. As I was reading, I could hear a faint voice of a man. I looked up and there was Frank the fish, swimming up and down looking in my direction. I heard the voice again. It really freaked me out cause I thought Frank was talking to me. I got real close to the tank, watching & listening to see if Frank would talk again. Just then one of my friends walked into the house and asked what I was doing and I told him that Frank was talking. He thought I'd lost my mind, but then he heard it too. He with a far less creative imagination than I, began trying to get closer to where the sound was coming from and that's when he pulled my CD player up from the floor near the sofa. Talking about feeling odd, not to mention being embarrassed.:o

    I run up the stairs using my hands as well.

    When I go round sharp bends, I make tyre squeling noises, like you'd hear in Starksky and Hutch and The Sweeney.

    I tilt the console controller when playing racing games and going around corners!

    Oh I get that, but I can trump it.
    A friend of mine actually yanks the controller to the left and right violently, trying to get around corners/footballer in the right place. He went through a few megadrives, and a number of controllers until the invention of wireless controllers.

    Its worse now though, because if you sit beside him, you get a clunk in the head now and again.

    If I'm watching a film and someone falls from a cliff or something, I often get a tickle sensation in my stomach as if I'm the one falling :o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,239 ✭✭✭✭WindSock


    I tilt my head to see around corners or objects on the telly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22 GillyBo


    When im watching the tele or a film and somebody is stuck underwater or for whatever reason dey cannot breath i alway find myself holding my breath along with them!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 155 ✭✭Corkladddd!!


    If I'm hungover/tired I will speak out every letter as I type a text and read the message outloud a couple of times before I send it. Never knew I did this until a friend said it to me last weekend:o

    He as hungover as I was just turned to me as I was lying down on the couch and said "If you dont shut the f**k up, I'll ram that phone down your throat!!!! I don't care what you're texting her!!":p:p

    Nice guy my friend:D:D

    Years back, when I worked in a pub, we had a big screen at one end of the counter and a small telly at the other end. An auld fella used to come in and sit at the middle of the conter for super sunday matches. He's watch the keeper kick the ball out on the big screen and turn to the samll telly to see it land - he'd continue to do this for the rest of the game!!

    I really wanted him to come in for wimbledon and see if he ended up puking!!!
