your best nightmare wrote:i actually thought i was a werewolf for the longest time ever
I actually thought that when I hit third grade and my arm and leg hair was getting darker. Then I came to the conclusion a lady at church was half werewolf because she never shaved under her arms but always wore sleeveless dresses, and she was displaying her "half-werewolfism" with pride. I admired that and never mentioned it. XD
Here's a fun one I remembered after reading an article about how your brain automatically shuts down visual information for split seconds when your eyes move. Not sure how true it is, but it makes sense. And reminded me of how, for almost half my life, I thought either I or mirrors were cursed. Before we had you young whippersnappers' handheld smart phones and high speed internet and computers -- *waves cane* (okay I'm exaggerating, my house was late to the device and internet life) -- I entertained myself at times by STARING at the mirrors in bathrooms, trying to catch sight of my eyes moving, or make direct eye contact with the whites of my eyes. I could see mom's eyes move but never my own! I was always looking at my pupils! It made me mad because I KNEW my eyes moved, but I could never SEE my eyes move. So I was certain mirrors, or myself, were cursed to keep me from seeing my own eyes move or to look at the whites of my eyes.
Looking back now, I can't believe how absolutely ridiculous that is. XD
