Uno

Do you ever have those little epiphanies over things that you should have known years ago, and so instead of making you feel smart, you feel dumber for figuring it out? I do that. Like just now, when I made a conscious connection between the game uno, and the Spanish word for one. I swear my IQ is above average, though you can't tell sometimes.

well, you could kinda sorta turn it into points. like, i got me some points last night! or, i scored me some points! see, it works.

also, thank you for the uno epiphany. i didn't have to make that "uno" on my own.

HAR HAR HAR. i kill me.

my mom once thought a streetlight was the moon. :D

"look at the beautiful moon!!!" she must have looked rapturous.

turned out she needed glasses (obviously).

I love these moments! I would say I have at least one every three hours.

YES! There is a constant joke at my expense when I was first learning to code, how a year after I'd finished the class, I figured out what a section of code meant, and why it was in an infinate loop. EVERYONE got it, just me. I was sitting in a restaurant, doodling on a napkin when I had a eureeka moment and it all fell into place. As for more mundane things, I am always the last to get the joke, I link things like you did with uno that is probably just obvious to everyone else.

oh harry, i'm always active. *winkwink*
monogamally, though. (i just made that word up myself, just now, in a hot & heavy flash of epiphany.)

i've heard that the more DNA that touches your cervix, the higher your risk of cervical cancer. anyone care to disprove?

One time I thought I was an apple and that people wanted to eat me. Of course I was trippin'

*Monica said...

I wanna eat you, and I aint tripping.

Here's the one that stumped me forever:

Why do blondes always wear ponytails?

To hide the valve stem.

I just didn't get it. And I'm blonde.
