near-irrisistible random urges
i just walked past one of the small lecture rooms where professor loeliger was giving some of the younger stundents a lecture or something with the door open. i was almost overcome by this almost irrisistible urge to poke my head in and start making weird faces at the students stuck there!
is this normal? does everyone get such weird urges?
last week i came home to find mum and dad in the lounge rearranging furniture (as they do) with mum's favourite porcelain lamp lying on the settee.
the urge: to go sit on it and see what would happen...
so i ventured the opinion that the settee might not be the safest of places for a porcelain lamp, someone might sit on it...
dad found this incomprehensible, how could one possibly sit on it by accident (i still think tim (my brother) would, he seems to spend half his time on a different planet anyway). when i mentioned the temptation to sit on it, dad was even more baffled.
mum, however admitted to feeling the same way. so the lamp was moved :-)
the question is, is it only the women of my family who are just generally special, or is this a more widespread phenomenon? and how to find out? hmmm...
