Talk to me

This is the downside of working at the library at night, espcially in ALD. I'm sitting at a desk, with no one to talk to, stuck staring at a computer screen after I have spent practically my entire day staring at a computer screen. I wish I had company but alas, that is not the job and sadly it's starting to get to me. I just don't like being isolated for so long, it gets hard when it gets late for me I guess. I start to miss conversation. So I guess I just get to converse with myself. Boring for you, relaxing for me haha. However right now I realize my brain is really jumbled with lots of things going on in my life and discussing them is just exhausting. So I found a list of thoughtful questions (as opposed to those "what color are your socks" questions that get dull and boring far to fast). So here we go....

1 - What do blind people see in their dreams?

I like to think blind people see the impossible, that they are able to see the world in a way we never will because physicality will always play a part. Imagine being able to dream of a vast field but because you have never seen a field, your dream field could have anything it wanted, blue grass, purple sun, flowers as big as your face. ahhhh to let the world really be your imagination, how wonderful!


2 - Whats Faster, Light or Dark?

My heart wants to say light but I think dark has such an interesting ability to just cloak everything. I'm fascinated by dark (and sometimes scared by it) because in the dark you must rely on your other senses to tell you whats happening. I for instance love LOVE talking in the dark to people. There's less judgment it feels like, because really all you can count on is their words and inflections. Nonverbal communication is out of the picture-I kind of like that.

3 - Can you get cornered in a round room?

Literally, I would think not but if you are thinking of the feeling of getting cornered then yes. I hate being cornered by people, mostly because in my fight or flight sense I instantly will get defensive. I'm like a dog, corner me and I'll just bite you (not literally-I hope haha) because I don't know what to do with myself, I feel unable to process the information and just freak out.


4 - How come popcorn isn't a vegetable?

I don't know! It should be! Imagine being like-"oh I still need my 3 serving of vegetables today, gimme that popcorn!" hahaha yum yum yum. You would think though if corn in a vegetable why is it suddenly not a vegetable when it explodes?

5 - Do stuttering people stutter when they're thinking to themselves?

awwww, I hope not!

6 - Why are you IN a movie, but your ON TV?

I like this one! Maybe it's because we think of movies as having deeper plot lines and because they filmed and then edited so far in advance (vs live T.V.) that saying someone is in a movies is sort of a past tense and when someone is ON T.V. it is because we think of it being streamed live...but then wouldn't be people ON plays not in them (of course we do say someone is ON Broadway but they are IN the show...how bizarre!)

7 - Do stairs go up or down?

Up, no doubt about it and don't question my answer! hahaha :)

8 - Why does the label on children’s Tylenol tell you not to operate heavy machinery or vehicles?

Because companies are profit mongers. If there's a possibility they could get sued for something they will warn against it, no matter how stupid. Or the mass public is really stupid. Or both.


9 - If anything's possible, then is it possible that nothing's possible?

Ok, this might get lengthy. If anything refers to the substance of any matter or idea then one would assume the opposite of any matter or idea would be nothing. If anything (any matter or idea) IS possible then the opposite would be true for the opposite of anything (nothing) making nothing impossible. But if you think nothing falls within the realm of any matter or idea (the idea of nothing) then I would think the idea of nothing would be possible. But nothing in itself is the absence of any matter or idea-so not possible? Hmm, I tried to work this out using logic equations but my memory of logic equations is too far deteriorated to actually find out if it is a true statement or false statement (logically speaking)

10 - Why do people wash their bath towels when you're clean when you use them

Aha! Because I believe we are not really clean when we get out of a shower. There may still be dead skin and such left on the body that the towel helps rub off. Also towels can get left in dirty places (floors and such). ALSO the wet then dry thing that repeatedly happens with towels leaves an iffy oder somehow.

11- If the police arrest a mime, do they tell him he has the right to remain silent?

That's a basic right! besides you never know what shitty mimes will blab hahaa!

12- Why do they put Braille on the drive-through bank machines?

Because people still walk through them, I know I do haha

13- If man evolved from monkeys and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes?

ohh, I like this one! hmmm, if we didn't have monkeys and apes then web of life would be thrown off...you know I don't know, I would have to say it probably has to do with geography. Maybe apes in one part of the world developed and in another part they did not because their habitat supported them and there wasn't a need to evolve to fight predators...does that make any sense?

14- If one synchronized swimmer drowns, do the rest drown too?

hahaha, I hope so!

15- If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?

I think you would ultimately succeed because you reached your goal, even if your goal was to fail at whatever you were trying to do. Apply this to a situation. If I wanted to fail a test (impractical I know) I would not try and would probably fail. However because I wanted to fail there would be a feeling of accomplishment in doing what I set out to do. Thus I succeeded in failing which means I still succeeded.

16- What if you stood on the very center of the north pole and dropped a 'lightsaber' or something that would just drop right through cutting through everything. Would it come out of the ground on the other side of the world? Just poping up from the ground?

I think I would need to be high in order to answer this question.


17- How does a Real Estate company sell its office without causing confusion?

haha I think it would take a while, they would almost need to close the space first then post a "this space for sale" while no longer in business, but that would suck!

18- Are eyebrows considered facial hair?

wow, they are on the face, and they are hair. So I guess so!

19- If a baby's leg pops out at 11:59PM but his head doesn't come out until 12:01, which day was he born on?

I would say the latter, simply because I don't think an infant is born until the entire baby is no longer inside any part of the mother. In an opposite situation if the leg popped out but the baby died before the head popped out I would also consider that a still birth because it wasn't completely born before it passed away. A full separation is birth anything less and I'm sorry but no cigar.

20- In the song Yankee Doodle, is he calling the horse or the feather "macaroni"?

Neither! I learned about this in History of Fashion! Macaroni was actually a term for a fashionable fellow in the 18th Century. Yankee Doodle was calling himself(!) a macaroni!

21- Is there a time limit on fortune cookie predictions?

oooOOOOooo, I don't know, I'd like to think not because often fortune cookie predictions are just vague thoughts about life in general, not specific things.

22- Since bread is square, then why is sandwich meat round?

This I don't have a clue about! Or understand! In the same respect if hamburger buns are round why did Wendy's decide to make a square hamburger?

23- Do they have the word "dictionary" in the dictionary?

If it's a word then I would think so!

24- Can you daydream at night?

Of course, daydreaming is just dreaming while awake and controlling that dream (vs lucid dreaming where you can control the dream but are still asleep). I daydream all the time. Like 100%.

25- Why is it that on a phone or calculator the number five has a little dot on it?

It was once explained to me so that blind people using the instrument would have a base to refer to, so I'll go with that.

26- Can crop circles be square?

I think crop circles just refer to the unusual phenomena of large unexplained designs in fields, so a square counts! Ask Moulder! haha

27- If ghosts can walk through walls and glide down stairs, why don't they fall through the floor?

I think they could if they wanted to, they just choose not to.

28- What do you do when you see an endangered animal that is eating an endangered plant?

Let them both fucking die-that includes you pandas!
(I just kidding...sort of..:)...)

29- If a doctor suddenly had a heart attack while doing surgery, would the other doctors work on the doctor or the patient?

I would hope they would get the doctor out of the surgery room and let someone else work on him while they took care of the patient. Win-Win!


30- How can something be "new" and "improved"? If it's new, what was it improving on?

Yeah that's just a selling point, like USDA Organic...ha, organic my butt!

31- When there's two men who "get married", do they both go to the same bachelor party?

What's the fun in that? Hmmm, I'll have to ask around ;P

32- If a guy that was about to die in the electric chair had a heart attack should they save him?

Ick, this goes back to just questioning should he be in the electric chair in the first place, sticky question, I'll choose not to answer this one (although I do want to say yes)

33- If London Bridge is standing why is there a song about it falling down?

Because society loves a tragedy! hahaha

34- Why is it that before 9/11 they always showed the emergency broadcast system test, and on 9/11 they never used it?

Because people are idiots? I thought we discussed this already?


34- If a nursing mother had her nipples pierced would the milk come out of all three holes?

oh, I hope not! I think it would really depend on how big the gauge is though. I have my nose pierced but if I take the jewelry out I can't breath through the hole, it's not big enough, maybe there would be a little leakage if she didn't have the jewelry in but not extensive squirting.
