Advantages: This has helped me avoid cleaning the kitchen

Disadvantages: I still have to clean the kitchen..I could have done it by now.

It's other people that tend to think I'm strange, rather than it being a thought of my own. I don't think I've ever known a person who hasn't at some point been kind enough to point out the opinion that I'm weird.
Personally, I think it's everyone else that's weird, but whatever, either way.
So, here are five of the reasons that I am strange. These are reasons based on the funny look I recieve from people if I talk about them to the people I know.

1: Certain things are certain colours. Like, days! In my head, each day is a colour. This isn't intentional, it's just an automatic link that gets made in my brain.
The days of the week are all different colours, and they run in a certain pattern...(Backwards, oddly enough), same with the months, although some of the months are two colour, and 3-d blocks.
Numbers have patterns, but not colours, although the sets of ten, e.g 1-10, 11-20, etc, do have colours.
Same with years, decades, and centuries.
Some countries also have colours.
It has been like this all my life, although I only actually noticed it a few years ago. I asked other people if they get that too..... they don't.
I since researched it, pointlessly really, as I can't remember what its called, but anyway, I was thrilled to discover that I am not the only person who has this. In fact, I think it was 1 in 35 people who have it, but it's just something to do with things being wired up oddly in the brain. Some people actually get tastes in their mouths in relation to certain things.
I think that would do my head in.

2. I struggle to care about people, and I find the idea that other people have real thoughts and real feelings quite amazing.
You know that feeling of 'WTF!?' that you get when you try to think really hard about the fact that space is neverending....like 'Oh my God, that's unreal. How is that so! it cannot be!'
That's what it's like for me when I think about other people having thoughts and feelings similar to my own, and that they actually do things, and know people, and have a home....
Life to me is like a soap opera. When people aren't right there in front of me, they don't exist. They are only real if I can see them, and nothing happens to them unless I am there.
It could be like this for everyone, I don't know, but judging by how much others seem to worry about their loved ones I think not.

3. My beliefs on death, the afterlife, Reincarnation and the universe - When I tell anyone I've decided I'm going to Hogwarts in my next life, they laugh like it's a joke.

4. Impulse buying and fads- Now standard whenever I make a new purchase, is someone saying 'Cool, can I buy it off you in six months when you're bored'.
At the time, I NEED whatever it is I am buying. All I need is that one thing and my life will be perfect, but it doesn't work, I'll get bored with whatever it is, and then sell it.
In the last 5-6 years I have had four different laptops, two PSP's, 2 NES's (I go through retro games fads reguarly), 2psones, 2 master systems, 2 megadrives, 3 nintendo Ds's, an Xbox 360, four PS2's, about six guitars (I still have one of them) a violin (which should arrive today.... I can't play it, but I'll learn! Honest), A home study course in horticulture - I started this about three months ago, except, I haven't started it yet as I have no interest in horticulture (I did, but only for a week) several college courses, and I've owned various dvds and computer games several times.
Look, one day it will work ok. A material possession will make my life perfect. I just need to keep trying.

5. I give inanimate objects feelings and thoughts, somewhat contradictory to reason 2, I have actually insulted my TV before for not working, and immediately felt very guilty and apologised and stroked it better.
It's not as stupid as it sounds. It worked straight after it had had a hug!
Oh, and noone knows about number five but you. I hope you feel honoured.

Summary: Please feel free to confess to these things. It will make me feel better.
