Aww, it just says Pron, there is no actual image. What a gyp.


Anyway, I love cute things and I have a ridiculously enormous collection of stuffed animals (Probably somewhere between 350-500). People (mostly women) buy a lot of them for me, and I end up with a bunch every time I go to a fair or the stuffed animal store.

I sometimes get my eyes stuck in magic-eye mode when looking at textured walls too closely. Then I have to put a hand on said wall to put my eyes back to normal.

I can make myself see Magic Eyes... but I usually can't tell what they're supposed to be.

There's a grate over a window where I work that does that to me.

I can see magic eyes, only ever wear jeans, and I'm turning 29 in june.

I'm only now passing my driving test (long story) and I'm sometimes mixing left and right which makes a bit of a problem. I also have the slowest reflexes in the world, and a gym teacher once described my body as "unarticulated". People are annoyed because I usually talk very slowly.

There is a range of 17 to 19 years between me and my sisters. There is only a 16 year difference from me and my mother. :eyebrow:

Ryan and I got married just over 4 years ago. Running joke was that my mother wanted to be a grandmother before she was 50. Well, I delivered Tristan a month after her 50th birthday.

I'm slightly clausophobic.

That's the first time I've ever actually seen a Magic Eye puzzle properly. As a kid I never figured out that I need to let my eyes unfocus, I just stared intently at it and nothing ever happened. Then one day someone said "You just let your eyes unfocus" and I went, "OOOOooooooohh...." but have not had the opportunity to test until now.

Reminds me of Mallrats, where the guy is staring trying to see the sailboat and everyone but him can see it.

I once tasered a computer while it was turned on, and kept the taser going until it finally turned off. Total time - nearly 30 seconds. Computers are more durable than you might think.

I am honored you volunteered for the Human Shutdown Project. You will be required to dance while a taser, wired to your butt, continually fires. When you stop moving, you will be considered shut down, and we may take tha taser off you at that point.

You will be reimbursed $0.05 per minute of tasering, plus be given a glass of water, should you recover.
