And he seemed so normal.
1. Watching sailboats on the Charles River, their white sails floating above the water as in a dream.
2. The way blood beads on clean incisions.
3. Recording human reactions to his animal noises.
4. The swift transition from joy to despair when he gives children candy and then wrenches it away.
5. Logs rotting.
6. The sheer mass of nails and hair that he’s accumulated over the years, the continual nature of his body’s shedding.
7. Slicing.
8. Yo Yo Ma.
9. The taste of tears, his and others’.
10. Yoghurt smeared over coarse surfaces.
11. Seasonal sweaters.
12. Deception.
13. Fire, its complete and utter destruction, embers glowing in the ash of a ruined life.
14. Jogging.

Snotting black 
Does the weird guy also like to end lists on numbers that are not a multiple of five?
Because everything on that list is forgivable…BUT NOT THAT. NEVER THAT.
He does he does! He’s SUCH A CREEP!
good job
Thizanks!
I would think you would be first on the list.
Only one of the reasons I had to move my desk.
Um…would that make me the weird one at work?
*blush*
This is awkward…..um, about my birthday party. I actually decided not to have one this year.
Great post ! This reminds me of Dane Cooks sketch creepy guy at work – its hilarious! , if you haven’t seen it I have posted the link below for you 🙂
People never mention it, but I know that watching more funny YouTube videos is actually the secret to living one’s best life. Thanks for the link!
No worries – I used to listen to him on my ipod as I walked to work – I d to get some funny stares as I was walking along laughing out loud ;D
Umm, I don’t get it… What is weird about him?
🙂
Oh……..nothing I guess. Please don’t follow me.
I once worked with a woman who would stick the erase side of a pencil in her belly button and then examine it once she’d pull it out.
That woman later became Secretary of State, am I right?
Yeah, for the Bush Administration
LOL! The first line of your post kinda shocked me, because I’ve lived near Boston MA for almost my entire life, and I have watched many a sailboat on The Charles River – not necessarily floating above the water, but sailing on it instead, which is the more proper and traditional way it is done around here.
But after that, there is nothing on your list that is similar to me, and yes I know that you’ll have to take my word for it, but it’s still true. Well, maybe just a few and in very minor ways – like I have noticed logs rotting, but I’d never have the patience to watch them rotting, and there are many other things I’d rather be fascinated with. But now, as I more closely examine this list… okay just WHO are you really? And why are you STALKING me??? And how on earth are you doing it from as far away as Cairo, Egypt? Do you have some weird inter dimensional cross over state of being thing going on? Considering much of the content of what you write, well I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised! Lol 😉
Hahaha…but seriously, are you going to finish that scone on your desk?
Sounds like a real prince among men!?!
The weird ones always become rulers.
In my best Mr. Spock voice… “Fascinating…”
I SAW SPOCK ONCE….well not spock, the guy who plays him. I think he’s a genius.
Yep. Yo Yo Ma and Jogging. Saw this coming a mile away.
You probably go out for drinks with him.
Well of course. Girls think I’m a much better catch when compared with him.
Some people find slicing innocents, burning things and stealing candy from children to be weird.
I just call it a Tuesday.
And Saturdays are for making voodoo dolls out of gumdrops.
Wednesday’s are for hanging out with my wolf family.
See, there you go with assumptions. It all depends on what your version of normal is as to how one will react to a given situation. I am sure that somewhere out there, there are those that would consider this list quite ‘normal’ in the everday scheme of things. To me, no.’s 4, 6, and 8 are definite no-no’s, and number 11 is a never never, but that is just me. Try to get me to where a sweater, there is gonna be a fight. Just saying. And for God’s sake, leave the little kids alone. But I do like the rotting logs thingy. Never know what you might find in there.
They are a veritable microcosm of the universe….the weird guy does have a sense of taste.
The real story here is how you happened to find out about each and every one of these gems.
Well. Let’s just say I’m the weird girl at work.
I also think the dregs of other peoples coffee could be on that list
Eating them or using them for artwork?
maybe both, or reading them?
Nice! Such an exquisitely random group of fascinations. And poetic too.
You need to ask him out.
I hope he’s single, whatever that term might mean to him!
