Weird things about yourself

I am weirdly obsessed with music written in unusual time signatures.

"The Rocky Road to Dublin" is mostly in 3/4 time, with a 4/4 measure thrown in about once per verse.

"I Am The Doctor" uses several different time signatures, including 7/4, 4/4, 3/4, and 7/8.

"Dulaman"... 90% of the time you can't even count this one in quarter notes. It's constantly changing time: 5/8, 7/8, 6/8, and it's very fast.

"Panic Attack" by Dream Theater switches between 4/4, 5/8, 12/8, and 3/4 multiple times, and different sections of 12/8 in different parts of the song aren't even always at the same tempo.

"Dirty Second Hands" by Switchfoot... I don't even know what time signature this one is in most of the time.

Whenever any of these songs comes on my MP3 player, I kinda just want to stop what I'm doing and drum along with it. And then play the song again.

Me. Too.

Listen to "Meet Me Inside" from Hamilton;

The first half is in 7/8, the rest is in 4/4.

And "From Eden" by Hozier is in 5/4, and it's worth listening to.

Details please! How did you feel like a Hasid? I'm so amused. 

 

You might be able to wear a leather-type bracelet. And I've definitely seen guys with facial piercings if you want to go that route. Ears, eyebrows, nose I think....

i mean really theres no rules but if it looks thick and dark and blocky and 'masculine' you're probably OK. 

I can barely remember, but I think I thought I had side curls and stuff. I had just finished a huge history book by Chaim Potok about the Jews that afternoon/evening, which is probably why they were on my brain. 

 

Its ts actually against my religion to get piercings, although I do wish I could wear earrings.

Get a shark-tooth, or some other symbolic thing. I've worn a "shark" tooth necklace, A sick Celtic knot and this strange islander symbol (still looked cool). As long as the "jewlry" your wearing looks cool or badass, you should be fine> It's not like you want Scott engraved in cursive on a gold plate with a jeweled butterfly on it's side.....right?

Thats...strange

Bother, I was aiming for weird

Not at all actually, it moves to there quite easily (It does hurt if I push it further though.)

I really wish there was more jewelry that guys can wear. I love anklets and my ring, but I don't feel like I could get away with a bracelet, and most men's necklaces are either crosses or dog tags. I don't want to wear either of those :/

You remind me of this post by my uncle. (I feel sort of the same way, btw)

[Zathoth]

I keep a text file with my friends fears, that's normal, right?

(If anyone cares to donate that would be appreciated)

@Morzathoth I hate swimming in the ocean because I have an unreasonably intense fear of sharks.

[Assassin in Burgundy he/him]

I'm afraid of coral. If you think about it, it's basically a bunch of dead bodies just waiting to cut you into little pieces.

Ditto. But apart from that, I also have an irrational fear of floating in the middle of the ocean alone because of some unimaginably large creature that might be lurking beneath. Not necessarily malevolent, just...so big it doesn't even notice when it crushes you to death or drowns you.

[marsoupial they/them]

I'm wearing suspenders.

As a kid, I used to love eating chalk and pencil lead.

That sounds... unhealthy and possibly damaging.

[Laryna she/her]

Haha. It wasn't that bad (only occasional, small bits), but my mom did have a hard time getting me to lose that habit.

I think that chalk contains some minerals that are needed by our organisms, like calcium. If would be bad to eat too much obviously

Benevolent santhids would most probably not hurt you.

Me too!  Though its not just the ocean for me.  Any large body of water, where I can't see whats below me.

I live on a freaking island too, surrounded on all sides by water.

I think because of this, I hate the ocean.  I want no part of it.  I don't like seafood and I don't like swimming in it.  Seafood reminds me of aquatic insects (exoskeletons, feelers, large colonies of things).

Floating in the middle of the ocean alone, I'd be more worried about drowning?

Hey, a phobia doesn't have to be rational. In fact, they rarely are.

Fair enough  

[Darkness Ascendant he/him]

I have an irrational fear of repetitiveness and creepy calmness. It's hard to explain the nightmares. One of them is a doctor standing over me and repeating the words "It will all be ok son" in a creepy but calm voice while holding a bloodstained hacksaw. It was like a gif.

And another was one of this weird, twisted version of a kinda Texas Chainsaw Massacre, where the guy walked casually and just swung his chainsaw everywhere, but the chainsaw never needed to connect because a weird ripple would be emmitted from the chain and cuts whatever the ripple passes through.

I also am scared of the Zodiac Killer's symbol. Idk why because I love the Dark Mark

Hilariously enough, my ancestral customs require me to get a piercing. I didn't get it done as a baby, and I'm not going to do it myself.

Does this make me the anti-LeftVash? The... RightVash, if you will?

Can you explain this? This is interesting.

[Zathoth]

I do not have piercings, I dont really like the idea of it and I am way, way too paranoid. Images of grotesque body horror always play in my mind whenever I see someone with piercings.

oh hey thats an idea...
