Random thoughts and such.

Ha! Just received spam from the sender "Balder Shultz".

Just went to see Fantastic Four, and I have to agree with rook543's assessment of it...The Thing and the Human Torch were the standouts, but it was really just an average movie. I wasn't into it. I didn't have too much inappropriate laughter, so it isn't in the realm of Van Helsing, but still, there is no reason to see it again.

After the movie I went into the women's restroom. As I was washing my hands I looked at my reflection in the mirror, and, as I am wont to do because I am clearly deranged, I made a few faces in the mirror. Not weird, bizarre, or crazy faces, just...subtly odd faces. I turned and suddenly realized that a young girl was at the other end of the counter and was staring at me as she held her hands under the water. Like full-out-wow-what's-wrong-with-that-chick stare. Then she smiled awkwardly and stared back at her hands. She probably thought I was going to pull the towel machine off the wall and start braying at the moon while smearing jello on the soap dispenser.

Headache is starting to diminish, thankfully.

EBay is so strange. I have been trying to sell things on it now for a couple months, and I've run into some odd snafus, like this weird shipping thing, where it tells you that you can set it up to combine shipping, but then it laughs cruelly behind its hand while sending you a blank "Don't do that, Dave" message. Argh. But I have moved some stuff, and I'm just beginning to clear out some boxes. Only two kinds of things have really sold well; the rest is just selling for the $1 which is the original price.

Oh, and on the way home from the non-show I listened to someone talking about eBay. He apparently decided he wanted to move to New York, and eBayed everything he owned to finance it, one thing at a time. He said he was at the post office every day for nearly six months. He was extremely engaging and witty. He would even visit some people that he had sold objects to just to chat. It was quite a fascinating interview. I wonder if this is the same person that mortifyd bought that cricket bat from a while ago.

I'm glad I'm not alone in pulling faces in the mirror (why aren't I surprised you do it too?)

I have a ritual;
1. Look deadpan (make note of wrinkles)
2. Smile in different ways (make mental note of smile that does not emphasize wrinkles)
3. Push up end of nose and check for stray nasal hairs.(remove if necessary)
4. Bare teeth in mad grin and check for food stuck in between (remove with fingernail if necessary.)
5. Stick out tongue and examine.
6. Check again for nasal hairs. Move head in case they're only obvious in a certain light.
7. Fix best smile that doesn't show too many wrinkles.
8. Hold the smile and leave.

hahahaha!

This time I was sticking out my chin. Occasionally I have this troubling thought pattern that my facial features are too masculine, and when I caught sight of myself in the mirror (lit by fluorescent lights, none too flattering) I tried to see if I could get myself to look even more masculine, which must have been really odd to the poor girl. I hope I haven't scarred her for life.

Bwhaha! Loving it :)

BwahahaHAHA!

So it's not just me then! At high school I used to come home and try out all the expressions I'd used during the day in the mirror. Unfortunately, what I'd thought was a jaunty smile makes me look like an alligator on crack.

Humph.

Ebay is is a strange creature, prone to randomly stopping you doing things you've done before. I sometimes can't get past logging in, yet sometimes it lets me in with no qualms. Odd...

Oh yes, I did that too, though it does make me think, "Why does anyone even talk to me without cracking up? I look ridiculous!"

And everytime I hear my voice on tape I shudder. To my own ears I sound like I have a horrible cold.

Michael Chicles(sic) is just about awesome.

I even loved him in that glucose laden "comish" show.

I watch the Shield with a friend sometimes, and we will usually at some point in the show point out how far from the Commish this character is. I think that really illustrates what a talented actor he is.

*dies*

I'm always trying out different ways of smiling in the mirror, to see which ones best disguise the braces on my teeth. So far it's none of them!

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Aw! Poor you...braces, I've heard, are horrible. *hugs*

[aramintasnape.livejournal.com]

They're not pleasant, but it was my choice to get them put back on again. Sometimes I wonder where my brain was that day ;) I've had them for a year now and was told it would take 2-3 years in all. Still, at least I'll finally have nice straight teeth in the end!

Wonderful!
