Right now I'm trying to go the whole weekend without leaving my apartment once. Not even to take out the trash. Can anyone else relate on the stupid goal factor?

If there's a really cool part in a song coming up, and i'm downstairs (sound system is upstairs), then I try running upstairs in time to hear it, I have to run in time with the music.

I'm lonely.

I used to do the toilet thing when I was a kid... hell, my parents were still married at the time.

And as for you, Akira. Well, we hermits who set goals to stay inside all weekend are also quite lonely.

My current goal is to do as little as possible before leaving for college in 7 days.

Scratch your butt then try not to sniff your fingers.

Scratch your butt then try not to sniff your fingers.
I've never had a problem with not smelling my fingers afterwards. The real challenge for me is to not immediately wash my hands afterwards... not that I scratch my ass on a frequent basis or anything.

I always say "it's good to have goals", and mostly I say it saracastically, but still it's true.

trying to plan out getting ready to go somewhere, for example:

In the shower at 8:45 am,
out of the shower by 9:05 am,
get dressed by 9:07 am,
comb hair by 9:10 am,
shave by 9:12 am,
brush teeth by 9:14 am,
apply deoderant and be out the door by 9:15 am

those are my usual goals when getting ready for church on sunday... and I do random other goals like that all the time

I always attempt to drink 5teaspoons of coffee in under three seconds...not sure why...I think I've done it once or twice.
but ofcourse, when returning the sppon to the mug and pulling it back out again, I spill coffee everywhere.

I also have a thing about public bathroom door handles...I try my best not to touch them, so either I'll wait, or open the door as wide as possible, run to the basin, wash my hands and try to get back out of the door before it closes(so that I dont have to open it again). This is sometimes made easier by the door being close to the basins, so I can hold it open with my foot(having opened it with my hands) and wash my hands whilst keeping it open).

Anyone watched Kenny vs Spenny? its a really funny half-hour show that just has these two Canadian guys challenging eachoter to weird ****...like a competition to see who can not use their hands for the longest, or run up the stairs fastest, or stand on their heads etc..

ohh another one I had was to listent to Brother in Arms(by Dire Straits, incase you are a tasteless muppet and didnt know) every morning before I went to school, for the entire duration of my exams...and no one was allowed to talk to me during that song, or do anything to interrupt...and we couldnt leave until the song was over...if someone interrupted, we would start again!

also, I am told that when I was a young child, if I was telling a story or summin, and someone said anything, or interrupted in any way,I would start the entire story over again, and repeat it word for word...I sounds like a messed up dude looking at all that...but I swear, I am normal!...must have been hard to live with me tho.

Well its nice to know I am not as wierd as I think I am. I used to dive and do the tuck and roll method until I hurt myself and decided to move on to more imortant goals. Like timing the flush to where it stops right after your done.... :D
I bet I'm weirder than you... at least according to other people. I hear "weird" more than I hear "hi." Of course this is coming from the guy who approached his boss last Friday with a binder clip on the center part of his nose.

with a binder clip on the center part of his nose.
I love doing that...at one of the desks at which I have to sit at work, there is a clip/peg of sorts to keep all the access passes together...when I am there, the access passes lie scatterred all around the desk whilst the clip resides on my nose/ear or wherever...a man can never be bored with a binder clip at hand.

Try watching womens tennis sometime.
They pull their panties out of their butts and then you keep watching em and when they think the camera's not on em, they pretend to scratch their noses.

ah.. the things we get small thrills from...

'bwahaha .... she sniffed her butt fingers!!!"

And I live within 30 miles of this? ;)

I also have a thing about public bathroom door handles...I try my best not to touch them, so either I'll wait, or open the door as wide as possible, run to the basin, wash my hands and try to get back out of the door before it closes(so that I dont have to open it again). This is sometimes made easier by the door being close to the basins, so I can hold it open with my foot(having opened it with my hands) and wash my hands whilst keeping it open).

Have you looked around for the shocked faces of the guys at the urinals who now have an audience in everyone walking by the washroom? :eek:

I thought a goal was something like "Maybe I'll have Bran flakes this morning instead of a poached egg." I'm reading alot more like superstitions. As far as staying in... My goal is probably to get out for a weekend. :(

Ah well maybe next weekend...

As it's now Sunday night, just curious if you were successful?

Funny you ask... no. I left, went to a friends house, jammed out, played video games, went to Target and bought a $95 vacuum, then went to a used CD/game/DVD store where I bought Super Mario World, Castlevania for the PS2, and Carcass' Symphonies of Sickness. It was worth it. The vacuum can hold its own quite well. I found it on sale with $10 off. Can't beat it.

Well... my claim to fame as a college student is the weekend in which I never left my futon.... that's right... not just my room, my dorm.... but.... my futon.... It was a 50 dollar wager in which I was granted 2 minute bathroom breaks every 12 hours. The way our dorm was arranged was there was a futon against the back wall then within an arms distance away was my guitar, computer, my cell phone (I had to call girls to come sit with me... and do other things.... you know...), TV, dvd player, ps2, a fully stocked fridge, and a microwave... It was the best 50 bucks I ever made.... the easiest too probably... since that futon is usually where I stayed anyway. I did have to miss a Sunday night baseball practice though... which I had to run 5 miles for missing... but it was worth it. The whole wager came about when I said... "My goal is to not leave this futon the whole weekend..." and he said.... "I bet 50 bucks you can't!"... and I said...."OH YEAH!?" haha. good times...

I do the bathroom door thing too.....never know what's hanging out on those door handles...

Here are some weird things I do.....I'm easily amused!

1.) When on the interstate and changing lanes, my goal is to never run over one of the little reflectors.

2.) This one is hard to explain......you know how they paint the dashed lines on a road where it's legal to pass someone, I tap my foot to the "rhythm" of those lines passing me while I'm driving......my goal is to see how long I can keep it up before losing the rhythm or just screwing it up....faster I go, harder it is (no pun intended there, haha).

i do weird rythym stuff like that too. ive always done it since i was a kid. like, the stairs up to my room is 13 steps, and i would always find weird combonations of numbers to jump up to get to the top. like 2, then 3, then 1, then 3, ect. when i played hopscotch id make a rythym out of it, usually resulting in me being completely retarded looking. if i wasnt so damn uncoordinated i could be an awesome drummer.

ok wierd goals
hehe listen to this
me and a freind have the same one and it ended pretty funny.
our goal was to do as little in highschool and see how well we do. I ended up with the second highest average in the school(90). and my freind got Class VAL! haha- he was hooked up with the principles and so he was chosen cus he was the only one trusted to give a speech. hehe.
i guess everyone does that though.

another one was we had this couch in the lounge and it was sorta dead. so we invented a game using the couch.
ok you try to jump over the couch like this sitting part to the back rest. doesnt seem so hard here is the tricky part you have to do that but! two dudes are standen at either side and flip the couch just as you jump over it.
so one guy tryed it his foot went through the back rest. another dude sorta cheated and like jumped before they fliped it. one dude chicken out. i walk in they explain me the game. i am like "yo this is a joke right" i thought it was gona be a sinch cus i am 6 feet and i can jump decently so i am like sounds good lets see if i can do it. so i jump the couch is flipped.... the couch nails! my feet and i go flippen in the air. i flipped three times-thats what the onlookers said- and then proceeded to land right on my head i burst out into laughing everyone in the room bursts out into laughing and falls on the floor ontop of me. man that was a good stuff.

then there was the time where we wanted to see when i would break in have
on dude grabbed one arm of the me and another dude grabbed the other and together they slammed me into the lockers 173 times then i felt like i was goina barf so i stopped and got somethin to eat-hamburger felt better and got slammed 27 more times - and this wasnt like a bully situtation - i volenteered.

i dont like pain anymore, it hurts. :cool:
