Strange Confessions

Confess something odd. We had one of these, but it's long locked.

Here I go. I have a hell of a time telling left from right, former from latter (this one gets me constantly) east from west, etc. Every time, I have to put real conscious effort into being able to tell which is which. It's a pretty much lifelong affliction.

I always feel like it takes me way too long to decipher the time on a non-digital clock whenever someone asks me the time. If no one asks, it's not a problem. But if they do... goddamn, I suddenly forget how to tell time!

I also keep messing up east and west and have to do this whole little routine in my head "Nie Ohne Seife Washen" to remember those two directions.
I also keep forgetting what time it is,even after I just checked the time.Like,4 seconds have passed and I am "What time was it again?"
I am incredibly vain,concerning my hair.

You can't have a conversation with me in a public place. I get ,like, sensory over load. There's to many people to watch and listen too! It frustrates my husband and confuses my friends. That's why I like small parties and stuff rather than going to a restaurant or a club. I just can't concentrate.

I dislike onions in all forms (except garlic). Just the taste and texture of it makes me slightly nauseous.

I had 3 spare inscisors, 2 on the top and 1 on the bottom. Now I just have 32 teeth after having 2 wisdom teeth and an abscessed tooth removed.

As for confessions, I spent over an hour getting a copy of my phone background image off of other devices after losing my work phone. All for a picture of a sockmonkey.

I don't know if this helps, but "we go west" is always how I remembered east from west. If you're looking at a compas with North at the top and South at the bottom, it spells WE on the east/west points. I remember my right hand because it's the hand i write with. Kind of roundabout, but for Former and Latter, I remember Former President because somehow, I can easily remember that means a president who is no longer president. For Latter, I remember Church of Latter Day Saints, because they are saints that came after the catholic saints. They work for me. I've always relied on mnemonic devices for remembering pretty much anything.

As for my personal confession, I can't eat food with bones in it. At all. I have no problem with meat that has been cut off the bone, but if it has the bone in it and I see it in there, I just can't bring myself to eat it.

I don't use those exact mnemonics, but I do have my go tos. I just wish that those things didn't confound me so badly that I needed them for such simple things and such specific simple things. People hate when I'm giving directions, because lefts and rights are often a mishmash of mistakes.

Basically, I used them for a long time, until they eventually became automatic. Sometimes I have to work on stuff like that, and some people have weird mental blocks. For instance, I have some sort of mental block with the word Hyperbole. I don't know why. I know exactly what it means, but I can never bring the word to mind without really thinking about it for longer than I'd like to admit.

I got east and west mixed up until I remembered the Wild West took place in places like California. I knew where California is, so that helped me remember where west is.

I have arguments out loud with myself quite often. It's embarrassing when it happens in public.

I used to love eating hot dogs with peanut butter.

This one might be too personal, but...I often wonder if I'm gay and in denial or something. I fully admit to recognizing if a guy is attractive, going as far as being jealous of their fit body or whatever. But the moment I consider the idea of doing anything physical with a guy, even just kissing, and I'm immediately not interested (I almost want to say disgusted, but I don't want that taken the wrong way). So, I guess it's not a matter of being gay but just being open minded enough to recognize attractiveness in men.

Brother, I don't think that makes you gay at all. I think most guys can tell that Steve Buscemi is ugly and George Clooney is good-lookin'. Most guys don't like to admit that, I guess. What dude wouldn't want to have David Beckham's body (sans tattoos)?

Strange confession: I hate looking in the mirror. I don't like looking at myself in pictures either. If I need to look in the mirror, I usually make an odd face while doing so.

Also, I hate anyone messing with my fingernails. I think a manicure sounds like absolute torture.

I can understand this completely! I am the same way with other women. Eventually I came to the conclusion that wondering if I am gay or bi-sexual was a result of how other people reacted to me saying I thought someone of the same sex is attractive. Appreciating someone's physique is quite a bit different than being attracted to or sexually aroused by them. A lot of people don't understand that, in my personal experience.

"Confession": I like watching gay porn a lot more than straight. I mean, like, two dudes. I really don't know what this says about me.

Eh, I think it makes sense. You find men attractive and you don't find women attractive. Therefore you substitute something you don't like for something you like more.

I don't much like lesbian porn, simply because I can't relate to being a woman. Penis goes in vagina is the sex I know how to do. Maybe, LS, you're the opposite. It's the stuff you can't do that you find attractive, tantalizing, taboo. Plus if you're attracted to guys, gay sex is full of guys.

As for @Frank's point about E vs W, I have the worst internal direction system ever. I can get lost walking out of my house if I'm not careful. I have a fantastic memory and that's allowed me to fake my way through obvious problems, but damned if anyone would ever have me lead a parade. We'd end up in the river.[DOUBLEPOST=1360603034][/DOUBLEPOST]

When I drink anything out of a glass or other such liquid container, that glass needs to be oriented in the proper way. I can drink from any part of the glass, but I feel mildly uncomfortable doing so. The proper orientation is as follows, in decreasing order of priority.

1. If the glass has any logos or labels or such on the side, such as a beer pint (without a handle), the label needs to be pointed away from me. If there are several labels on different sides, then the main or biggest one needs to be pointed away.
2. If the glass has a volume indicator on the side, it needs to point towards me.
3. If there is any writing etched on the bottom of the glass, it needs to be oriented outwards from me so that it can be read while drinking out of the glass. If there are several etchings, the biggest one needs to be oriented outwards.
4. If the glass has no markings on it, I can drink from any spot, but I always make sure to drink from the same spot once it has been chosen.

I don't know where I got this from, but it has been the case with me ever since I can remember. I guess it's one of those childhood things that kind of stuck. If I should get a glass in front of me that points in the wrong direction, I might make some normal conversation while seeming to dis-interestedly fiddle with the glass, but in truth I'm orienting the glass properly.

Most people who know of this pet peeve of mine consider it one of those curious little idiosyncrasies that we all have.

The gay porn actors are probably a lot more into it than the "lesbian" actresses. Barring exceptions on both sides, of course.

Of course - we're on a globe. Point being that you normally orient it with yourself at the center; whether something's to the east or west of you depends on which is the sshortest route. Taiwan-California, that's over the Pacific.

I "disagreed" because I have the same thing....Except from other bits of the glass :p
I agree with 3 and 4, but 1 and 2 are exactly opposite for me. I always, ALWAYS, drink from the side with the logo, and any volume indications have to be on the opposite side. :p

Also, Yoshimickster , I rant/talk to myself all the time too. I hold long and winding conversations and arguments with myself, or with "my father", "my girlfriend", "my ..." in my head. Those in my head tend to be easier to talk to than the real life versions ;) It's also a way to keep myself occupied; when I'm doing something boring I tend to have one line of thought on a conversation, one on music/songs, and one on riddles/brain breakers thingies.

For the record, there is a HUGE difference between lesbian porn made by straight men and lesbian porn made by actual lesbians vis-a-vis the crassness.

Your teeth falling out is supposed to be the 2nd most common nightmare, after "falling." They say it indicates anxiety about being embarrassed or powerless.


Anyway, my confession... I'm pretty sure if it weren't illegal/socially abhorrent... I'd be a pretty enthusiastic cannibal. Often I have looked at an attractive individual and my initial thought was how good their arm-meat would taste.

I'm vaguely interested in cannibalism purely from a culinary point of view. It's an abhorrent practice obviously and I don't go around like GasBandit thinking about how specific people's meat tastes, but I'd be lying if I said I hadn't considered it in an abstract thought experiment.

I mean, when you read stories where indigenous cannibalistic tribes are going around putting the white explorers in the big cauldron on the firepit in the middle of the village, that just seems like a waste - ''long pork", to use the famous euphemism, seems like a fairly tender meat, especially in the arms and thighs or even the butt, so why put it over a long boil? An open-fire roast seems much more preferable from a culinary point of view. Or maybe even a cold smoke as with bacon.

I am convinced that I've seen a ghost or some type of spirit. It's not something I jump to conclusions about, and I don't believe in a lot of supernatural things. Not many of my friends know about it because it sounds silly, considering it happened back when I was a kid. I don't blame people for doubting, but I am sure it happened.

As with regular pork, it would definitely depend on the cut. You wouldn't stew or slow-cook a tenderloin, for instance, but a pork shoulder (a.k.a. Boston Butt) does really well with a long, slow cook.

Point taken, but even then, a barbecue/pulled pork style preparation is still superior to any kind of stew. :thumbsup:

Ooh ooh, all this eating talk has reminded me of another quirk of mine:

I have to eat grapes in even numbers. I put two in my mouth, and chew them with my molars on both sides of my mouth. If there's one grape left, I'll bite it in half first before eating it the same way.

I confess that I've walked into several establishments (malls, banks etc) and planned out the best manner in which to cripple them, secure ill-gotten gains, and depart, taking into account response times and the confusion of the average citizen on a scene.

Also, I subscribe heavily to the philosophy of greeting everyone with a smile on my face, and a plan to kill them in my head. It can make for some disconcerting meet-and-greets...

I can't sit with my back to a door - to the point of annoyance for my wife. If I get sat that way, I get overly nervous and fidgety.

I get picky about organizing objects in storage areas, trying to maximize space utilized. A holdover from working logistics, I guess...

I'm pretty sure I have synesthesia (blending of senses). Words have a texture and a shape to me, and using a "wrong" word in a sentence (one that disrupts the texture of the sentence) hits with about the same wrongness as a normal person hearing a wrong note in a song.

I've created a self defense weapon for airplanes. I intentionally scored a CD jewel case so that it snaps along a sharp but hand holdable knife edge.

I also form contingency plans upon entering rooms. I hate movie theaters because they're difficult to plan for, as proven with the Dark Knight Rises incident. I am terrified of the laser hallway in the first Resident Evil movie because it's impossible.

I think everyone in safety/security/law enforcement has that, at least on occasion, no? At least I look around for such things as well, formulating ways to evade detection, take out guards, etc. It helps identify weaknesses and, possibly, prevent real problems in the future. It's also just fun to see how incompetent some supposed professionals really are :p

I understand why men would want to wear flip flops down here, but I wish they wouldn't. It's gross, and too often it's some college guy who can't be bothered to wash them. I was out having breakfast with jake on Saturday, and there was a whole table full of dirty-footed animals.

It's even worse when their toes are long and have big, bulging knuckles. Men's feet offend me in a way that most foul words can't.

I'm not a fan of belly buttons. I find them gross. Touching them is torture for me.

When watching TV the volume has to be numbers of 5...like 15, 20, 25. 12 is okay, but I don't like it to be on other numbers. (I feel this would be OCD, but I only do this when I'm in charge of the remote. If my husband is watching TV and I see the volume isn't on those numbers, I don't care. But when I'm in charge, I do care.)

At work, I generally hook my pen on my lip instead of putting it down on my desk when I need both my my hands. Like right now, my pen, it's on my lip.

I think collar bones and wrists are the prettiest part of a person's body. So when I meet someone new...I totally check out their clavicle and wrists first thing...

Man, I'm so weird.....I've never thought about these things really, but saying them out loud..I just...

But really, I honestly put collarbones in my 'fetish' catagory of things I find extremely attractive.

This is a somewhat related confession but not something I do personally.

People think of libraries as these big, magical places of wonder and learning. No. It's where people go to break things and touch themselves. I work in an academic library and we have more reports of masturbating and sex in the study rooms than you could even dream of.

Homeless people use library buildings to get our of the weather and check facebook. Creepers are everywhere. It's like wal-mart at 2 am.

Speaking of which, I absolutely hate my collarbones. They're super bony and kinda sensitive too, so they often hurt when I'm trying to carry stuff. I'm cuddly everywhere else on my body, even my beard isn't very scratchy, heck it's soft as beards go, but my shoulders are totally not shoulders to cry on. Every girlfriend I've had has tried to rest her head on my shoulders and remarked on how bony they are. :(

Other confessions: I tend to say really stupid stuff when I'm in a bad mood. The lousier I'm feeling, the worse my judgement gets, especially about humor. (I've been in a bad mood for the last couple days. I apologize for all the stupid stuff I said that I thought was witty.)

I feel anxious if I'm not wearing a watch when I'm away from home.

I've developed a bad habit of buying more tea than I drink, and I drink a couple of cups of tea a day.


Man, those aren't really that cool of confessions, but then just about everyone already knows my quirks: I've been in a psychiatric hospital, I'm a sucker for redheads, I obsess over cosplayers, I have a huge number of games I've bought but haven't played yet...

That might be where you hold some of your stress. I mean, I know lots of people get stress pains in their back, you know, sore back and such. But me, I get stress pain specifically in my collarbones. And only in my collarbones. The more stressed I get the more they hurt, like stinging, constant pain and it hurts to touch. So, that maybe a reason. :)

But no one should ever hate their collarbones. They're so pretty!!

It was soooo hard to get past this for me. I annoyed my gf to no end when we first started seeing each other and I stayed at her place. "You sure you set the alarm?" "What time did you set it for?" "Just check one more time."

I'm better at it now, but when I'm alone I fall back into checking the alarm 5 to 10 times.

Nope. You can, because it's still in your browser cache. The rest of us get a broken image. Funnyjunk always does that. Here's a tip when searching for images to post - I've found most wordpress blogs, which usually have a copy of whatever image you're looking for, don't block hotlinks. So if there are multiple versions of a picture and one of them comes from something on a wordpress.com address (or blogspot or tumblr or even another forum) that's the one to use.

How are you with brownies? My sister is a gifted baker. She's done all sorts of baking (and now is doing it gluten-free) and what she makes usually comes out amazing, especially when she's perfected a recipe. But brownies are her nemesis. Once she made brownies from a box mix that turned out nearly inedible (she forgot to let the butter soften beforehand, overheated it in the microwave and then ended up scrambling the eggs... which resulted in fibers of overcooked egg threading through finished brownies. It was nasty.)

I can't take that kind of humor either, especially when you can see it coming from a mile away.

I've stopped watching shows because of that reason. I can't get past that point in an episode or movie and I don't want to miss something so it goes unwatched forever.

Last time my wife went out while I was home, I went to the closet and grabbed her Marina and the Diamonds CD, so I could hurry and rip it to my iTunes before she got back. I don't know why I care or don't want her knowing I like it. It's not like she hasn't introduced me to music before, albeit the last one has gone from being a unique voice to Kesha-style crap. But for some reason this time I couldn't let her catch me listening to something she'd gotten into.

No problem. More for the rest of us ;)

Seriously, though... I can understand the dislike for chocolate. I have the same thing for certain varieties of chocolate. I love some good milk chocolate, but when I was in Ireland and had a taste of Cadbury's... God, that was just awful.

What's your deal with pizza, though? Is there some element you don't like, or is it just the concept of a flat bread covered with fillings and cheese?

That's what I always tell people at parties; more for you! =^^=

Yeah, chocolate just doesn't do it for me. I much prefer fruit if I want something sweet. I'll eat my mum's brownies every once in a while, but that's as chocolate as I ever go.

I think there are a couple factors with the pizza. A) Everytime I've eaten it, I've gotten sick afterwards. B) I've never had 'real' pizza. C) All that grease...ugh, it's making me sick just thinking about it...

I'm not a huge fan of the bread with the sauce on it. I just don't like those two things together. It literally makes me sick when those ingredient are put together.

I'm getting tired of bacon. I used to eat it all the time. I loved it. It was awesome. Now, I still love it, but it's all I can do to eat four slices in one sitting and I may only eat it once every other month. All of the insane hype surrounding it has been a massive turn-off for me. Bacon does not, in fact, make everything better.

I also like a "breakfast" pizza, made with a sauce of cream gravy, topped with eggs, sausage, bacon and some cheddar cheese.

EDIT: Ooooh, and "cool veggie pizza" which isn't very pizza like at all, but it's a croissant dough crust, with an herbed cream cheese "sauce" then topped with raw veggies like broccoli, carrots, black olives, green onions and then some cheddar cheese. Only the crust gets baked, and is cooled before topping, the rest stays cold.

So here's more information than any of you ever wanted to know:
The last time I was in a serious relationship, we would exchange explicit texts. Dirty photos, fantasies, plans... Anything we knew would turn the other person on. We would especially do this when the other one was at work. Something about knowing she was turned on where she could not act on it and likewise for me, was enjoyable. Lately, perhaps shallowly, I have been missing that.

- I input times of less than 1 minute 40 seconds into the microwave as total number of seconds. If it's a frozen slider that says to nuke 1 minute 30 seconds, I'll put in 90. This became a problem last year when we lost our old microwave in a kitchen fire and got a new one. The new one "corrects" me and displays 1:30 on the countdown after I hit start. This seriously bothers me. The old microwave would simply count down from 90 without judgement. The new one, it's as if it's telling me I'm wrong and is showing me the "proper" time I should be putting in. As if some microwave programmer explicitly put in a line like "If user input is greater than 60 and less than 1:00, correct that idiot and display the time proper-like." FUCK YOU GE AND YOUR CONDESCENDING MICROWAVE OVENS.

- I get a mild crush on just about any female who has a friendly conversation with me and doesn't come across as a bitch (and even then, sometimes.)

- I'm too fearful of rejection to do jack about it. But it's not necessarily a fear that she'll say "no," That would be great if a girl who wasn't interested would just say "no." On more than one occasion it's been a "maybe" that will never go anywhere or a "I want to take things slowly" only to jump into a relationship with someone else a month later. So I guess it's really a fear of getting hurt/lead on. GIRLS, WHY U NO JUST SAY "NO?"

- People used to tell me I say "sorry" too much, to which I would reply "sorry."

- I randomly get turned on while reading a novel or textbook, when it's not even anything erotic. It's actually kind of annoying, particularly when I'm trying to study. Reading things at the computer doesn't seem to have the same effect. It has to be something I'm holding while reading.

- I'll often go to bed, then give up if I'm not asleep within 30 minutes and get back on the computer.
