Am I the only one?
« on: January 18, 2015, 11:47:17 PM »
At least once a day I ask something along the lines of, "Am I the only one who *insert something potentially odd here* ?"
Because I ask it so often irl I decided to create a thread here to ask 'the question' and at the same time create a place for others to ask it as well. See what I did there? Two birds with one stone. Multitasking. Me. See ma, I can do two things at once.


Starting off, am I the only one who asks am I the only one so freakin' often?

Also, am I the only one who puts tape over their device cameras due to paranoia of being spied on?

Am I the only one who sees the repeating 24s above and feel like MM's twitter account is screaming BEER BEER BEER.

Good thread idea. Though in my case, I know I am not the only one. I am simply one of a select group of people who have a highly seasoned intellect and discerning pallet for cool. But to couch it in your terms:

I am the only one left who:


- thinks heavy metal is cool

- loves to lucid dream and will do whatever it takes to succeed

- is convinced that we live in a dimensional hierarchy wherein consciousness is primary and physical matter reality is a projection of consciousness

Am I the only one who thought this thread was impossible to not reply to?  Since if no one replied it would essentially be saying "Yes Vex, you are the only one."

Am I the only one who sometimes feels this whole world is a dream and the rest of you are DCs?

Am I the only one who wonders why I eat chocolate so seldom in dreams when it's so yummy?

Am I the only one who made a valid effort to lucid dream last night, only to be met with non lucids including one steamy episode, where I was at a swing party. There were numerous scantily clad people there and this one gal clearly wanted to pleasure me. But ... I had concerns about my wife - what will she think? I imagined her coming through the door and realized the obvious. We're at a swingers party. That is the whole point. It would probably turn her on. So I gently reach behind the gals head near me and direct her down to my huh ... well you know  ;).

Yes, I am also wondering when my libido is going to drop to a level more commensurate with my actual middle aged status  :?

I love heavy metal. Rock is still alive and kicking in Canada. I officially invite all rock and metal bands to move up here. It'll be beer, poutine, metal, and beaver 24/7.

lol. I was prepared for no answers. I would have replied to myself with, "Apparently I am." and locked shop.
I never wondered the chocolate thing but will from now on.

lol. Yes DrT. You are the only one. I'd love to make you not the only one but my libido is practically DOA in dreams.




Am I the only one who thinks its stupid that most people I know won't drink bottled water because it's 'dead' yet will flood themselves with pop and coffee on an hourly basis?

Am I the only one who thinks I cannot really do my job and will some day get caught for not being that good?  Or in the same vein, am I the only one with such poor self-esteem?

Am I the only one who thinks it's okay to read every post at MM (and DD)?

Am I the only one who gets a sore ass sitting and reading every post at MM (and DD) when I finally get a chance to get caught up?

Am I the only one who likes both Star Wars AND Star Trek (albeit, The Next Generation)?

Actually Shelli, lots of overlap in our lists. I can add most of yours to mine.

Am I the only one who went old school black metal this morning and grabbed Venom's At War with Satan to listen to on the way into work today (oh man can old Venom get me fired up sometimes .... easy on the gas pedal DrT!):

The dark silouette of the creature
poised, crouched on the corner of a cliffs edge
waits eagerly, eyes glare patiently.
Red eyes filled with fire and torment
gleam in the frenzied brightness
across the shadowed vallies below.
A crack of thunder breaks the deafening silence
which once ruled the planes, the creature is unmoved
by the commotion and the noise, and the blinding bolt
of lightening which strikes only a few yards from where
lays it wait for something...
Satan laughs, wings spread in magnificent fullness,
the creature stands at full glory, inhaling deeply
the ice cold air each tenden and muscle rippling in
the almighty stance on the great dimentional diety...
Lucifer smiles, from the far far west a chariot of fire
emerges travelling at a tremendous speed toward the
creature, the creature laughs as if in an immense
state of frenzy the creature leaps up off the ridge
and hovers with dignity in the now cloudless sky
its long red hair blowing freely in the wind...
The chariot emerges and with a sharp swift movement
the creature takes the reigns and flies up into the
night, howling out immortal cries, and prediction of war,

At war with Satan!

Shelli, I'm the same way at jobs. I've always been described as the hardest and best worker where ever I worked but in my mind I feel as if I'm not doing things properly or half-assing it.

DrTechnical, kick ass lyrics. I'ma check em out later.



Am I the only one who celebrated W.A. Mozart's birthday today?
I wanted to make up some of his favorite food but it's all so gross sounding, trout, liver dumplings, caviar milk shakes.  O_O
I just made some gluten free peanut butter cookies instead and get to eat a bit and dance around every time they play some Amadeus on the radio.

Must add, dancing to classical music is kinda tough but it's awesome to prancersize to. Visualize me bouncing around a room to the Magic Flute EIN MADCHEN ODER WEIBCHEN

I passed up the chance once.  Didn't find out much in advance and I think it was pretty expensive.  I'm not a big concert goer though.  I've seen only 3 (1 was free).

I love concerts. Live music kicks recorded music's ass.

The Weird One will be close to my area this summer. I'm seriously thinking of going.

and lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways, acknowledge Him
and He will make your path straight."

Looks like it, sorry to say. How much do you work at lucid dreaming daily?




Am I the only one who hates commercials so passionately that I have to fend off the urge to jab out my eyes and eardrums to stop my brain from feeling raped by ads?
Even at the movie theaters they're playing commercials before the movies. I counted 31 damn commercials (aside from movie related stuff which is to be expected) once.
*shakes fist at the necessary evil of advertising*
