I used to have a friend’s friend that I sat next to in second grade that I found extremely weird. I never liked her because in the bathrooms, she would look under the stalls while people were peeing. But what was more unnerving was that I somehow came to the conclusion that she was some sort of psychic.
In second grade, I never talked. I sorta just hung around people who considered me their friend in school, but then I could be myself with my friends in my neighborhood. So lunch conversations were usually me listening while everyone talked.
What convinced me of the psychic-ness is whenever I saw a movie the night before, EVERY SINGLE TIME that girl would bring it up in the conversation. Even if it was pretty old! I even made note of it one day. I thought to myself “I wonder if she’ll bring it up.” And sure enough, she did. This might have to do with the fact that I also found her a bit creepy because of the bathroom thing and her wide eyes.
As an awkwardly social person, I’ve always wanted to read people’s mind. People can be so “fake” to quiet people. Even if they’re trying to be nice, I always found it demeaning: like they’re talking down to me. I’ve always wanted to see if they just secretly hate me. Plus a part of me is just nosy. I want to know what is going on. In fifth grade, we would have bathroom breaks after recess and I would just wash my hands for the longest time to hear the latest gossip. But then I thought, if others had mind reading powers, I’d be so screwed.
Why am I bringing this up now? Well, if you haven’t noticed, I’ve recently gotten back into Yu-Gi-Oh! I haven’t really had anyone to talk to about it really… or so I thought. Apparently my other online friends happened to get into it too! How is that possible? Three of us. At the same time. Getting involved in an extremely old series made for little kids we used to love. Is it fate? Did we all think the same thing, so I had someone to d-d-d-d d-d-d-d-d-duel?
A certain game which I don’t want to spoil so it will go unnamed brings up a very interesting concept called the morphogenetic field. A way we supposedly communicate through telepathy without knowing. For example, if we were to look at a picture and only one person knew the real answer as to what it is, this information would somehow transcend to everyone else. I don’t want to go too much into detail for the sake of the game, but I know what I mean and that’s all that matters.
——————————————
I can’t be the only one that finds these coincidences weird right? It’s not only those instances, but it has happened other times too. I should put this as a story concept one day.

Oh man, Miyu, I had the same type of friend’s friend in third grade. I was using the restroom.. then I looked up… then I learned my first curse word. Joking about the cursing, because then this little 5th grader that stood by the sink washing her hands for the whole recess period might hear. Seriously, though. Aren’t these kids creepy? Why did they peep so much?
Anywho, I get it. I sorta believe in voodoo too. For instance, when people tell me something superstitious, like making sure the tag of your blanket is at the bottom of your bed when you sleep or someone will die or or not to cut your nails before an exam or you’ll fail, it sticks with me and I can’t not follow them. It’s weird because I’m sure tons of people do these things without anything happening but it just bugs me to the point of semi OCD.
Recently I’ve learned about palm reading? Have you tried it? If not I will blog about it.

It’s SO weird! Like peeing is a private quiet time, and it’s weird when someone just pops their head into the stall!
I’ll try lucky things even though it’s probably totally false, but it’s fun! Plus it’s like the self-fulfilling prophecy from sociology! If you think it, it’ll become true! (although it can work good or bad…) I get semi OCD when I get paranoid and think and murderer or something scary is waiting for me or following me : ( I can’t even go into those closed playgrounds alone like the ones in Burger King! Even when I was a kid, I thought there was someone just hiding in there!
I haven’t really tried palm reading. Maybe like a few lines, but not much and I don’t even know if I did it right O______O
feedmytummy
I wonder if self-fulfilling prophecies work with the blanket thing. If so, we could save people with our mind powers like Superman. Did you know Superman was created after Clark Gable and Kent Taylor, hence the whole “Clark Kent” secret identity.
Don’t mind the grown man in the Burger King playground. It’s probably just Ail- he did say he was counting down the days to peoples’ deaths though.
I’m not sure if I did it right either, but I think it’s like fortune telling where you can interpret the results to fit your life.

Who is Clark Gable and Kent Taylor? I was watching this show with like two truths and a lie and they were telling this story about how a superhero suit gave strength to a guy to face some robbers, and I was like OBVIOUSLY THE LIE! But apparently it was TRUE! Like I get it metaphorically, but ACTUALLY give him strength? If so, I want this suit. I’d wear it under my suit everyday!
I used to rush down the slide all the time! : ( It’s so scary. I tell my little brother I’m too big to go to the playground, but I think I’m just scared to go in >_____> He’s too scared to go in alone because he thinks there’s monsters in there… but hey! It’s better than murderers!
You should make a post about the palm reading! I don’t really remember mine’s O____O You know I’ve always wanted to get my fortune read. I probably won’t believe it (or maybe I will) but I just want to see what they say about me!

They’re old actors. Clark Gable was the dude in Gone with the Wind. Old shows and music seem to be my fandom right now (did I use that word right?). It’s weird because I used to be creeped out by them but now they seem so fascinating, like the fifties diners and little candy shops. I keep saying I’ll start a new post on this, but I’m trying to draw one of the people first so I can have people guess my new idol before I post anything. It’s taking a while because it looks nothing like him.
Maybe the suit was bullet proof or had a bible in the pocket like the one that one dude who survived a bullet shot had. You wear a suit everyday? Pretty fancy.
Yeah, you can’t reason with murderers. I used to be scared of going down the slides because the cool thing was going upside-down and I didn’t want to break my head. Also, they had kids climbing up the slide the same time that others were going down. Then you’d have those OTHER babies that went doodoo in the middle of the slide. Imagine going down head first into that then ramming one of the rock climbers too.
Okies, take a pic of your palm too!

I haven’t really watched/listened to old stuff O_____O How old are they? You should post it even thought you can’t get it perfect though 8D
And I have NEVER heard of a kid doing it in the middle of the slide >_____> That is just really gross. Do they just stop and decide to poo?
feedmytummy
I don’t really watch the ones that are that old with people like Charlie Chaplin and Humphrey Bogart. I just watch the the 50’s and 60’s ones and they always reference the older ones so I look up info on whoever they mention at the time so I can get the joke. I will post the pic after I shade it. (It might be a few days though because I’m trying to learn how to play Yugioh and make the best deck ever!)
Also, I’m not sure about the details either since I’ve never seen a little kid in the action. They were usually found in the bends of the slides. I can only think of two logical scenarios. One is that a grownup tossed a baby down the slide by itself. The baby was wearing diapers and so young that he shouldn’t have gone by himself in the first place, so he pooped his diaper which was loose, allowing the the poop to be a free flying object that stuck to the wall of the slide. The other scenario involves a person that was heavily intoxicated, teenage, or bum that thought that it was a cleaver idea to find some poo and hide this treasure in this secret place of theirs.

What movies are you watching now? Man this Yu-Gi-Oh thing is so exciting! 8D I wanna make a blog about it so I can document information on like the latest dueling trends and such and I’ll follow those review things and blog about cards I’m interested in!
This is so disturbing >________> You know this post just turned into a conversation about poop and peeing. I SHOULD’VE USED ANOTHER EXAMPLE! No, but another interesting fact about hobos since you brought up bums! My teacher was telling us to not trust those people with signs. Like if you try to give them a meal or something, they’ll be like “NO, I don’t want that!” and apparently there’s like a whole hobo organization and they contact each other and it’s like a part time job O______O

I agree with this post in that peeing is a private thing. It’s awkward when you go to the bathroom and one of your friends is there washing her hands or something. Then you’re just waiting there until she leaves so you can go in peace. I mean, yeah, sure the stalls aren’t open or anything but then they can HEAR. And sometimes hearing is just as embarrassing.
Sometimes, I get into the stall, and there’s a girl who just goes, and goes, and goes, and goes, and so on, and I’m like, “MAN! How’d that girl store so much liquid in there!” I’d hate to think that people are as creepy as me and are listening to me wee.
Anyways, then they take forever to do their hair and everything, and you’re just like holding it in! I wish we had sound-proof stalls. Then again, that might be a safety issues.
It’s even worse when it’s number 2, but I’ll save that discussion for another blog post.

On a related note, I recently taught Drew how to say pee in tagalog (“ihi”), and now he says it at least once a day. It’s usually not even on topic when he says it. Should I be concerned?
feedmytummy
Yes.
skyeknite
I think that all the time! And then when I pee a long time, I try to make it seem shorter, but that doesn’t work : ( Sometimes like if I’m in a stall alone, I’m happy, but then someone comes in and I start like timing myself and thinking I should get out before the other person so it’s not suspicious and then I wonder if anyone else puts this much thought into peeing.
And also now it just sounds like Drew laughs really weird randomly. If it starts getting out of control and starts to border into the maniacal form and he starts buying cats, I would be concerned.
feedmytummy
You guys sure think about this a lot.
I knew ihi and cats had something to do with each other!
feedmytummy
Teehee. “Wee”.
Boo
Rest assured, we all think about peeing this much.
feedmytummy
Well I know you do, Boo. ❤ I was just worried about Miyu.
