I remember, quite distinctly a day when I was 14 years old, walking home from school. I was talking to myself, as I did quite alot.. It was not just me actually making conversation is was more speaking my thoughts out loud.

I can't remember what triggered it, but I suddenly stopped in the middle of the path and wondered whether I could think my thoughts, without speaking them outloud. And you know what, I could. It felt like the strangest thing on the planet, and I had to keep reminding myself not to speak my thoughts.


It was one of those really stupid moments in life that you know happen to everyone.


Theres been a few days where I've thought to myself (without speaking out loud) when I've wondered how to spell a word to type it online. I could understand not being able to spell Encyclopedia or Anthromorphologist, but the word I found myself not being able to spell was in fact "What" .. was it Wot, Wat, Whot, Wott?


I'm sure theres been a few more but I'd have to think back abit, and you know what thats like.

You nutter!

I once asked a dutch girl, who could speak fluent english and german as well as dutch, what language she "thought" in.....
She suddenly came over with a very blank expression. Turns out she hadnt realised it till i asked, but she thought in mulitple languages, using the language in which the word she wanted had the least syllables! Seemed kinda fucked up to me!

Going out in Paris always means you meet a lot of International Students, being as its the most international city in the world. When I went out one night in Paris for the evening for a few friends we were thinking of the most stupid chat up line to pull. Well one of my mates who is from Oxford in the UK has a very strong accent which is known as the queens English. Anyway he was talking to some dumb American girl and managed to convince her he was close Friends with Prince Harry, to cut it short it actually worked. The only problem is he is now married to her, lets hope she never wants to meet him eh!

At my new place of employment we have a large cupboard situated just inside the kitchen itself, but seperate.. its our store for cleaning products and cups and whatnot.. its also our store for mops and brushes.

I was asked at work today to find one of said mops... I look in the cupboard, nothing.. I look in the fridges, stock cupboards, even the little cupboard in a tiny corner of the kitchen.. nothing. During all this my manager had been looking at me rather strangely, and when I finally turn around to tell him I can't find one, he looked at me, blinked, then promptly entered the original store cupboard.

2 seconds later he emerged.. with a mop.

As I had not quite noticed, the mops were behind the door. I feel my boss thinks I'm abit stupid now. Though maybe that was the fact I was looking in a cupboard 2 foot square for a mop with a 5 foot handle.
