Pro's and Con's of Fictional Companions

Pro's:

~Always there for you when you want them, aka never too busy to hang out with you.
~Very predictable, no surprise characteristics that make you hate them.
~Often the coolest people ever, always saying the right thing, and mostly hilarious (at least the ones I hang out with).
~Can stop hanging out with them at anytime without worrying about hurting their feelings.
~Never have to worry about uncomfortable chit-chat, and if it does come up you can just skip it.
~If with an especially attractive one you can stare at them without being creepy.
~Never have to get "dressed up" to chill with them.
~Mostly very attractive.

Con's:

~Not real.


I honestly don't know which column wins...

The One Inbetween the Real One

I've been wanting to do a post about my gnomes (if you didn't know already, I love gnomes...) for a while now (literally months) but it requires me to take pictures of them, so, needless to say, it hasn't happened yet. But, you should look forward to that post in the (hopefully) near future. So, instead of telling you all about my gnomes, I've decided to list a few of the things that I do that I think are abnormal, like collecting gnomes (even though it's become so fashionable recently that it's making me look too trendy).

~ Unbeknown to all of you, I can actually move my butt cheeks separately from each other. I have always been able to do this, and thought that it was a common human trick, until someone was bragging about it in front of me. Obviously, it's a special talent that I inherently possessed without my knowledge, though how that can help humanity, I have yet to figure out.

~ This may be chalked up to OCD but I don't have other tendencies like this, so I'm pretty sure it's not, but I eat candies like skittles and starburst in a certain order. I start with the the grossest flavor (to me) first so that the last taste I have of that candy is my favorite, which is also why I don't like sharing them because I've probably already eaten the bad ones when you ask for some and I then have to waste my favorites on you (FYI the order for skittles is yellow, green, orange, red, and purple).

~ And, I like to think I can dance, and I'm pretty sure I'm not a complete embarrassment to those around me, but sometimes I do some really odd moves that are then talked about and wanted to be repeated, but after I know that they are weird, I can hardly ever do them again. Namely the Dolphin, and dropping it low.

There are some of my weirdness's, feel free to comment about yours...

Super Family

I recently had a conversation with my sister about her ability to tell who a fart came from by the smell of it. She claims that I have a distinct toot smell and so do most other people. I don't know if this is true, but she's pretty accurate, it's like a lame super power. I mean, how could you use that for the good of mankind? Maybe if you were searching for someone and you smelled their fart and were therefore able to find them. But, of course, that situation is entirely dependent on whether the "bad guy" passes gas or not, so I'm pretty sure there isn't a red phone in Emma's future. Yet, this conversation got me thinking of other lame super powers that my family members have, and I compiled a list:

The power to:
~ Know the genealogical history of a person and their entire family in a 10 minute conversation.
~Make it seem like you're the expert on every topic in the world ("I'm (insert family member name here), I like, INVENTED electricity").
~Be the best at every video game you play.
~Have a genuine relationship with fictional/famous people that you'll never meet.
~Watch a 5 season TV show in only a week and a half.
~Mooch off the parents and not feel bad about it in the least.

Yep, this is my family. What a bunch of weirdos.

PS sorry for telling the world about your power Emma...
