Because weird things happen to all of us!
Dreams included XD

Here is a weird happening for me:

I was moving a bike a few nights ago, and it was real dark out. I looked up at the sky, and I almost cried because it was so beautiful. I usually live in Toronto and you can't see any stars there.
So, I randomly started thinking about random stuff, and I started thinking about the person closest to me and I saw my first shooting star n__n

Once I randomly found $40 in my purse right when I needed it. I thought I was totally broke. Should check those hidden pockets more often...

I was riding the train today when suddenly some guy starts picking his brutally. He didn't care everybody saw him he just kept picking for about 10 minutes. I keep wondering why hi nose didn't bleed.

Also, I was playing Dark Missah Might and Magic one day (not a very good game by the way). I kicked an orc down the stairs and "Leap Attacked" him (Jump+Attack) and the orc jumped 10 ft. into the air and crashed into a wall. It was very surprising.

might wanna check your spelling their thief, the first half made no sense to me

speaking of game wierdness, one time i was playing halo 2 with my friends (3 of them to be exact) and i got 5 kills i a row with a pistol in swat!, it was sooo wierd they just spawned in front of me like they WANTED to die

Gnaborretni · « **Reply #5 on:** July 19, 2007, 11:21:04 PM »

Pistol's really quite easy to kill with in swat, but to have them spawn like that is quite strange. The spawn time must have been next to nil for that to happen. Did you mess around with the game options?

OnewingedDragon · « **Reply #6 on:** July 20, 2007, 01:09:10 AM »

I think the spawn location is weirder, unless he was hanging out in the opponents base.

demon of razgriz · « **Reply #7 on:** July 21, 2007, 09:17:00 AM »

no i didn't mess with the spawn time it was the standard five and theres like a 4 second period befor you lose the chain so it kind of made sense... but the map was lockout the spawn poins are like 5 miles appart granted one of my kills was long range (hehe i made him go off the ledge) but still...

I had to set my tent up in a thunderstorm back on Thursday.
I headed to the Peaks of Otter to go solo camping on Thursday night. What I didn't know was that there was a thunderstorm warning for central Virginia that evening. I get to the campsite, only to have it begin pouring buckets as I arrive. I thought to myself, "screw this," and went to find something to eat at the nearby lodge (good country cookin'...mmm.) I finish dinner just as the rain lightened up; but just as I get back to the campsite, the rain starts up again. Keep in mind, I have a one-person mini tent that I use for backpacking, so there's barely enough room inside for my sleeping bag and a little gear. I finished setting up, and spent the next hour wiping up the rain that got inside, and playing "Phoenix Wright" on my DS. That night - I kid you not - in between the forest and the clouds and no moon, was *pitch black*. Thankfully, my flashlight worked fine, and the tent is most certainly waterproof.

ScienceFair · « **Reply #9 on:** July 22, 2007, 10:32:55 PM »

Water proof tents are good, even better if they stay water proof when you touch them... which seems to be the bane of tents... which I think is weird... yet apparently my wife thinks it makes perfect sense which is a weird thing that happened...

OnewingedDragon · « **Reply #10 on:** July 22, 2007, 11:55:29 PM »

It's actually internal condensation. Generally, when it rains, the temp inside the tent is going to be significantly higher than the outside, especially with a backpacking tent. So everytime something touches the wall, chemical reactions happen, lights flash, small squirrels explode, and the warm air condenses.

WhiteRoxie · « **Reply #11 on:** July 23, 2007, 12:58:05 AM »

Wow... if that isn't the best scientific explanation I've heard, I don't what is.

OnewingedDragon · « **Reply #12 on:** July 23, 2007, 10:42:00 AM »

I spent many years doing it accidentally with my sleeping bag, until I got a backpacking tent big enough for my 6'4" frame.

Chevalier-Ange · « **Reply #13 on:** July 23, 2007, 05:31:09 PM »

LMAO...

Please dont say you were actually trying to use a normal sized persons tent my friend?

OnewingedDragon · « **Reply #14 on:** July 23, 2007, 07:50:49 PM »

have you ever been in a backpacking tent? Some of them are designed for what a midget would consider small.

On that note, no, I got "big" backpacking tents, but they're still small.

Chevalier-Ange · « **Reply #15 on:** July 23, 2007, 07:54:18 PM »

Yes...yes I have. And thats what I meant. How you could ever fit in one is beyond me

demon of razgriz · « **Reply #16 on:** July 23, 2007, 10:00:04 PM »

hehehe exploding squirls... *wipes a tear from under eye* way to funny...

Halfling Daniel · « **Reply #17 on:** August 25, 2007, 07:15:10 PM »

This is a boring story, but it qualifies as "weird". I was casually standing on the street, hanging out with some friends. I sow a woman walking her dog a few moments ago. Suddenly, the dog's leash snapped and the dog headed right to our direction. I crouched and extended my hand to calm the dog down and it worked. The dog stayed there long enough for its owner to reattach the leash and keep walking it.

RandomEd · « **Reply #18 on:** August 27, 2007, 09:55:07 PM »

Bad dog.

Good dog.

Anyway I'm going to revive this thread with some weird/ interesting stories from the day Whitey and I spent in the City <3.

so here's the interesting things:

we saw in the middle of Pitt Street Mall [big phat shopping strip in the middle of sydney] a busker playing.... you'll never guess what... a TUBA!!!! he was soooo cool <3

then we went up and ambushed the Free Hugs Guy!!!!!! you should all know him from YouTube. He gave us a WTC look but then hugged us anyway. <3333333333333

and then.... we saw more buskers.... drumming on plastic barrels and wooden boxes and the sound was tres awesome!!!!

and then we played spot the emo/punk/goth and we got 39 emo/punk/goths in half an hour <3

RedAxie · « **Reply #20 on:** October 11, 2007, 06:42:51 PM »

A guy was playing a tuba in the middle of sqaure? AWESOME!

Here is a random happening:

I wanted to print out sheet music for a concert band arrangement of a FFVII suite, and the music office computer is out of ink.
So I went upstairs and asked the awesome art teacher if he had an available printer.
He showed me a room with two printers, and said don't use the colour printer, #64.
Me: "Okay"And me, being the idiot I am, couldn't understand the signs for no reason, and printed the first Alto Sax's part on the colour printer.
I felt really bad >_>

All in all, I printed 88 pages. There was supposed to be 91, but I didn't print out the piano's part for some really dumb reason. I figured it's part & the keyboard part would be similar.
It's not.

BlackCat · « **Reply #21 on:** October 11, 2007, 06:47:31 PM »

random indeed and yes a TUBA guy in the middle of a square! we gave him money too >.<

RedAxie · « **Reply #22 on:** October 11, 2007, 06:58:21 PM »

I should tell that to my music teacher.
He plays tuba, and says that tubas are the greatest instrument ever, and that flutes suck.
Then the flutes mob him and kill him /notreally.

Another interesting happening:
While my friend and I were out for lunch, I kept playing the song "Bing Bang" from Lazy Town, through my phone, and dancing/singing to it.
He put his headphones on and ignored me :/
Then my other friend was holding my phone, still playing the song, while I went through my backpack looking for something, and he turned it off on me. And I was sad.
All this time, I had my headphones for my actual mp3 player around my neck.
So I'm still going through my bag...and I am like..."wtf" so I check my headphones and (awesome song) Opus Relinique was playing!:S But I had my mp3 player OFF. As in, my friend saw me turn it off.
I said "that weird :/"

Five minutes later, my friend Dylan and I went one way, my other friend went one way, and I was pondering it...and Dylan goes "He grinned when you said your mp3 player was on."
Me: ....Bastard! I had it off for a reason!!!
Then, 50 minutes later, I turn it on, and the battery was dead. :/

this isnt exactly intresting but it is weird, about last year...*flash back effects*:

usualy if im late for even 5 min of any of my classes ill get a talk about how being late effectes the class and some bull like that (i really dont see how it will) and a more stern talking to if a miss a class the earlier day but one week i was away *coughskipedcough* for three days and when i came to each class i practly wore bullet proof armor thinking about what kinda punishment i would get but when i went to all of my classes not a thing happened, i was like, WTF?! i almosted asked why but i was able to stop myself from asking,

BlackCat · « **Reply #24 on:** October 13, 2007, 12:04:13 AM »

yeah they tend to think that you're sick or something along those lines >.> so they don't try and kill you...much

demon of razgriz · « **Reply #25 on:** October 16, 2007, 10:17:54 AM »

yea my teachers this year are alot nicer so i dont have to worry now but another weird thing, my fourth period teacher makes anyone in the class who is even a minut late (happened to me and another once) has to write five paragraphs of why we were late how it effects the class and such, i find it wierd because only one person in our class can finish it befor the end of class and we have to do the work in the hall.

RedAxie · « **Reply #26 on:** October 16, 2007, 06:12:34 PM »

...5 paragraphs is nothing.
I wrote an entire essay in one period. (And no, it didn't suck, my teacher said it was really good)

Weird happening: I actually WALKED home today.

demon of razgriz · « **Reply #27 on:** October 17, 2007, 09:59:52 AM »

that doesnt sound so weird, do you usually take a bus?

no weirdness that i can remember so far

BlackCat · « **Reply #28 on:** October 17, 2007, 06:26:06 PM »

weird: ToTC is blocked only on a few computers at school, but not others >.<

Weird Happening: EXAMS. Very weird. ToT

Comic Kid · « **Reply #30 on:** October 17, 2007, 09:15:42 PM »

Weird Happenings, through-out my life.

Y'see, a lot of times, I think of songs in my head, and many, many times, within the next 10 minutes of (usually during) my thinking of a song, my brother starts singing the exact song and the exact part of the song I was thinking about, hell one time I asked him where he heard the song and he said "I dunno, just popped into my head."

This has happened at least 10 times in my entire life, possibly a lot more.

Gnaborretni · « **Reply #31 on:** October 17, 2007, 11:03:46 PM »

Alex: Aren't most essays high school essays five paragraphs anyways? (Intro, Body1, Body2, Body3, Conclusion)

And test essays aren't all that weird. I've written many of them, and will again do so next Monday. Get used to them.

RedAxie · « **Reply #32 on:** October 17, 2007, 11:08:01 PM »

dan:
yeah, i meant those as 2 thoughts though...^^:

5 paragraphs on that randm subject he mentioned is nothing

but I've always had trouble writing actual essays that you get marked on. dunno why. so i said there i wrote one in one period, and it was weird because usually im revising them a million times.

Gnaborretni · « **Reply #33 on:** October 17, 2007, 11:13:17 PM »

You conjugate badly.

Also, with test essays, you're more concerned with actually writing the essay that you don't get to revise them a million times. As such, the teachers aren't looking for as polished a work.

BlackCat · « **Reply #34 on:** October 18, 2007, 02:50:06 AM »

yeah! exam markers are paid to make sense of what you write badly!

Chevalier-Ange · « **Reply #35 on:** October 18, 2007, 08:01:28 AM »

Heh...you'd know all about that first hand now wouldn't you. So tell me, do they make sense? <.<

BlackCat · « **Reply #36 on:** October 19, 2007, 01:41:03 AM »

huh? is so lost. har I made up all these words in my Japanese exam >.> I seriously hope that they are actual words. and if not, hopefully my teacher will catch my drift >.<

i always wanted to learn njapanes spelling...
