Brain-worms
I often get words stuck in my head. They pop up out of nowhere and repeat themselves occasionally. This week's words have been 'alopecia' and 'antimony'.

Does this happen to you, or am I just a big weirdo? Does your brain do anything strange?

my brain does all sorts of strange things
what you describe is one of them. nothing stuck there at the moment, but it does happen.

want to be careful thinking about alopecia though, might make your hair fall out

I buzzed my hair last week
and asked daughter to give it the once-over when I'd finished. She pointed out that a bits of the hair on my widow's peak is thinner than the rest. I think I've fared quite well - my mum's brother was virtually bald by his mid twenties.

I'm fortunate in that I have a mass of thick hair
and it's not going anywhere.

My brain does strange things
like I'll walk along and get a thought in my head, I know its always the same though so I can feel it coming. I feel totally euphoric for a few seconds so I can't fight it and then I feel sick and the sickness lasts a few hours. Its always the same memories and they aren't mine. I always try and tell people around me what I'm thinking but I can't get the words out. Afterwards I can't remember what it was. Seems to happen when I'm either waiting to cross the road or actually crossing. When they occur they come in waves of a couple a week for a few weeks and then nothing for a couple of years. last time it happened was in 2007

That happened to my mum all through her teens
She would actually pass out just after.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 10:51, Reply)

I don't pass out
but I feel like I would if I didn't fight it. Did it have anything to do with roads? Its only when I cross or am about to cross a road.

when I get really high
and I can't sleep, sometimes single lines or little snippets of songs get stuck in some kind of ghastly loop like a meaningless and massively annoying mantra. Gets right on my tits, surprisingly...
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 9:57, Reply)

I get that all the time.

Nope you're not alone
Currently I have a song Cartman sang on South Park going around in my brain... earlier I had a quote from some cartoon I can't really remember - 'I am a banana'.

which cartman song?

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 10:04, Reply)

I think it was a new episode
about the water park getting overloaded with pee. People kept peeing on monkeys and Cartman sang a song about 'minorities' at his water park, lovingly called 'minorities'... its really annoying and I can't get it out of my head!! :(

heh
I saw that episode the other day

love the bit where they prove that too much pee gives you Rage by peeing on the monkey.

It was keeeeerazy
I just felt really bad for Kyle when they made him drink the pee and then made him EAT THE BANANA! Hehe

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 10:24, Reply)

Since that episode
I'll get Cartman's voice in my head saying 'Nooooooooooo' in that silly way! Madness!

Yerp
I think I read about something similar to the following on this here pages not too long ago..

Anyway, what happens is I hear this brand new word or phrase that I just think, "Ooh, I've never really thought of that before", and then next thing you know it's appearing EVERYWHERE. From zero mention to every 5 flipping minutes.

For example, I'd never taken not of "say much but say nothing" before and then I saw it twice in like half an hour! It's mad!

I think mine stems from being a kid
and loving reading and learning what new words meant. I kept a dictionary by my bed so I could look up words I didn't know in the books I was reading. Now, when an interesting words appears, my brain does what the fuck it wants with it, kind of like it's trying to find a resting place but it's so bastard full of cliches there's no room.
( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 10:15, Reply)

this is a weird phenomenon
I hadn't heard the song Nobody does it better for years, and then in the space of 3 days last week it had been mentioned twice and I'd heard it on tv
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 10:19, Reply)

This is a classic example of the human brain creating patterns where none exist

the word or song in your head has probably been as prevelant as it has always been, however as you are "tuned" into it it feels like it has become more prevelant than it really is.

The smae thing is true of the shufffle feature on your I-Pod, while it is not completely random, as this is impossible as it is based on an algorithm that acts on certain laws, I guarantee that you believe that it plays certain songs more or less than others.

Well...
this absolutely makes sense. Still a bit freaky though...

I had alopecia once : (
Not nice for ladies.
( girlinthehole, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 10:24, Reply)

Not nice at all

but on the plus side does it mean that you no longer need to shave your legs all the time?
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 10:26, Reply)

It was only at the back of my head.

( girlinthehole, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 10:27, Reply)

This is rubbish

I wish I could get Alopecia up my nose, it has started to sprout far too much hair and plucking makes my eyes water!
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 10:28, Reply)

does it look like you have a spider emerging from your nose?
I hate that
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 10:45, Reply)

I had it when I was about 14
only an old 5p piece in size, and easily covered up. Was caused by some weird ingrown dead grey hair that had invaded my scalp.

My brain feels like it's in a vice
I have cat aids, I vommed in the middle of the night and the cocking heating 'maintenance' man has borked my heating for the second year running after a sfety check.

On a lighter note, me and my dad used to find a new word every week then try to use it as much as we could, annoying my mother in the process.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 10:26, Reply)

I like this idea.
Now if only we could find a mother to annoy...

Mine's easily annoyed, you can borrow her
And to scare her, just move your hand repeatedly closer and then further away from your mouth, whilst saying "mOmM-MeEe" like Carol-Ann in Poltergeist.
