This has GOT to be a joke

I can't even say anything. I'm just stunned.

When somebody takes more than one penny from the take-a-penny plate..

Do you:

1. Ignore it (assuming you even noticed in the first place)
2. Laugh and point out that it's take a penny, singular.
3. Flip out, remove the plate, and then post about your near aneurysm.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but I think I'm not going over the line when I say that reaction is unhealthy. I've never heard of anybody even caring before, much less getting angry about it! If you get so upset about $0.02, how on earth do you manage with real problems? I don't get so upset over the news, and this person is furious because somebody took THREE pennies instead of ONE.

Okay, and a pointless link. Man, I have a LOT of posts to catch up on.

Do you realize, I go through 350+ friends posts EVERY DAY? That's a lot. So, I'm stealing this entry to post the most interesting posts/comments from my friends page over the weekend on. Um. Did that sentence make sense?

Whatever. I'll edit as needed.

That slash was SOOOOO gay

Drafting women may be worse than still more governmental intrusion

Reverse discrimination against straight people... it begins now

A heartless attempt to stop the Darwin Awards

Massive amounts of geek icons

Mother's day, may get its own post

A traumatising article about the first and second Olsen.

Hysterical linkletter

A thread full of people who don't tip, and one very snotty bitch

MAYDAY!

This guy, going out of his way to get offended

Well, I can't go more than 950 entries back. I don't like to know this.

Random Terry Pratchett Quote...

The vampires had never made it. They weren't sociable, even amongst themselves; they didn't think as a species; they were unpleasantly weird; and they sure as hell didn't have their own food shops.

So now it was dawning on some of the brighter ones that the only way people would accept vampires was if they stopped being vampires. That was a high price to pay for social acceptability, but perhaps not so high as the one that involved having your head cut off and your ashes scattered on the river.

(The Truth, pg 102)

No comments, you can all guess why I liked the quote. Though not as much as the one that runs:

Well, since it's submersive in a marine environment, I decided to call it the "Going-Under-The-Water-Safely-Device".

But I probably misquoted, I don't have the book in front of me.

I have a minor problem.

Minor is a key word here, but it's starting to bother me. Most of the time, I am chewing on something. My fingers, or my cheeks, or my tongue, or junk food. I must've spent a fortune on junk food in the last year. It helps me to think, and stay calm in stressful situations and all that. Anyway, anyway, a while ago Ana, being all cute, handed me one of her teething toys, so I nibbled for a second, because she was trying to "feed" me (she's a cute kid, but a bit strange... are most one-year-olds that strange?) and ended up thinking "hm... that's not so bad" which immediately crystallized my ongoing vague thoughts into a firm "Something. Needs. To Be. Done."

So, I've done some research and some thought and came up with these options:

1. Get something to chew on.
Pros: Simple
Cons: Buying sight unseen

2. Steal one of Ana's teethers
Pros: Cheaper, even if I buy it
Cons: C'mon, it looks stupid. Really. And robbing my niece? LOW.

3. Do nothing, keep things the way they are right now
Pros: Saves money in the short run, in the long run if I cut out the junk food
Cons: I'm tired of waking up with a sore mouth? It looks silly in class when my fingers have tooth marks all over them?

4. Stop chewing on things.
Pros: Definitely the cheapest solution
Cons: I don't want to do this. Somehow, I don't see it happening easily, and, frankly, on the list of self-improvement things, this doesn't rate very highly. It's not as though I'm biting other people or sucking their blood....

Thanks for reading and/or helping. This will possibly be posted over in asperger, so we'll see what they have to say too. Definitely it seems like an autistic thing.

Ignore this post.
