Toddler me: I LUVS people!!!  *Dances with random strangers in the Home Depot, manages to make camp councilors carry me, does all sorts of adorable shizz*

School-aged me: Wow, I hate all of you people SO MUCH.  HISSSSSSSS!!!!  STAY AWAY FROM ME, YOU VILE WRETCHES!!!  BEGONE!!!  *Suddenly becomes an introvert*

Homeschooled me: Okay, some of my faith in people is restored.  Maybe they're not ALL bad.

Hesitantly venturing online me: Is this really a good idea?  With, *shudders* PEOPLE?

Me a few weeks later: This is actually rather fun!  Maybe this was a good idea after all!

Me now: I LUVS YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH!!!!!  🤗🤗🤗

Reaching up to grab something from a hanging basket in the kitchen, (now THERE'S a life hack for you all, it's good to store coffee and bananas and stuff 👍) and somehow managed to automatically catch a bunch of bananas, and some coffee pods in either hand without looking?

It was just an automatic reflex.

I WASN'T EVEN PAYING ANY ATTENTION TO THINGS AT ALL!!!

Oh, stop it, I'm not a ninja, you are!  😉🤭

My bro is a curse upon my internet-related stuff, honestly.  Every time he walks by, things suddenly stop working.

And then there's me, who has the exact OPPOSITE effect on things.

VERY sus.  🤨

It drives us crazy.

One moment, I'm answering some messages, the next moment he walks by, and BOOM!  I suddenly get an error message and have to restart the computer.

Bro in the background: DANGIT!!!  NOT AGAIN!!!

Or I get low scores in things that I'm normally really good at, because the mouse/computer/screen suddenly glitches.

And then there's the opposite side of things.

My bro nearly has a temper tantrum when things don't go his way on HIS games, so he calls me and tells me to stand REALLY close to him, because he thinks it'll cancel out his bad luck.

The spooky thing is, it DOES, actually.  EVERY.  TIME.  WITHOUT.  FAIL.  🤯

Realizing that you have something like 1.5K in a couple of government cheques/checks available to you, but you can't be bothered yet to actually cash them.  🤯

I still haven't gotten around to getting a debit card or anything.  😅

Obviously, I'm not obsessed with money like most people around here.

...............................................

I am so weird.

Update: I just applied for a card, so at least that's out of the way.  Now mother can get off of my back.  🙄🤣

This was a few weeks ago:

Mom: *Walking into the room and noticing me working*  How many quilt tops are you going to baste?!!

Me: I've already prepped four today.

Mom: Isn't that enough for now?  That should keep you going for a while!

Me: *Who has just finished quilting the third one*

Me: ..............................

Me: Yeah, about that...  

Me: This is number three.

Mom: It's been-

Me: -Only a couple of hours.  Yes, I know.  I'm slowing down in my old age.

Mom: *Jaw drops*

Me: I'm fast, with a speed born of desperation.  

Me: ..But there's also the annoying issue of time constraints.

*Watching TV for a change*

Me: Hmm..  That guy's actually pretty good-looking.

Me: And I have STANDARDS.

Me: Huh.

Me: I guess that means that there's hope for me yet.  *Smirks in triumph*

*A few minutes later*

Me: *Furious mental yelling at the TV*  WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE'S DEAD?!!  ARE YOU MOCKING ME?!!  IS THIS WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME MY LOVE LIFE'S FOREVER GOING TO BE?!!

Standards: *Lowered even more*

Who doesn't love an adorable, but also very dangerous, Nindroid?!!  Presenting:

P.I.X.A.L!!!

When you have to scroll through stuff just to find lines to say, so your recording has rather audible starts and stops.  😑

Someone needs to compile a master list of lines that each character has, it would make life so much easier.  👍

*In car*

Mom: I sense something...

Me: *Completely straight-faced*  You too have the gift?

Mom: 😑

Me: IT WAS A ZANE LINE!!!  FROM NINJAGO!!!  BROTHER WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IT!!!  AND HE'S AN IDIOT!!!

Mom: *Absent-mindedly*  Mmmh, yes, he is.

Me: I'm glad that you agree!  😁

Mom: *Snapping back to reality*  Wait, what did you say?

Me: Uh, NoThInG..?

Mom: Okay.  *Continues driving*

Me: 🤨

Revenge is beneath me.

Accidents, however, will happen.

This could kind of be a Morro quote, though.  👆

Jay, playing a VR game: You see, that's the thing. It PROBABLY is fine. It's PROBABLY 100% okay. There are PROBABLY no spiders in this headset.
Jay: BUT- as you may be able to relate to- If you find a spider in your headset, and then have to put that headset on to play video games...
Jay: YoU jUsT dOnT gEt ToO cOMfOrTaBlE.
