Hee. I've told this before but I thought I could either be Prince Andrew's illegitimate daughter or Anastatia.
Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
When I was a kid, I wondered if my whole reality (parents, siblings, fellow students) was all part of some elaborate scientific experiment on me. I figured that if this were true, I'd have no way of knowing. After thinking about it, I figured that it was probably not true, and since I could never know for certain, it made the most sense for me just to live my life as if it were not true.
Tommyrot is me, except for the deciding it's probably not true part.
I also used to think that everyone in the world was telephatic except for me, and that you are all right now listening to my thoughts and making fun of me because I can't hear yours.
(I had a large and varied collection of tinfoil hats as a child, if you can't tell.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was convinced that my mother was a telepath. I asked her one day if she was, and she denied it with derision. "Of course that's what you'd say," I thought back at her.

Maybe there are aliens in the lab helping to preserve your secret until the right moment.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, I've heard it's a common fantasy/delusion/whatever-you'd-call-it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The Whole Foods vs. blue laws story makes me sad, because for many years it was one of the hallmarks of the local whole-foods-y chain that got swallowed by Whole Foods that they would always close on holidays in order to give their workers the day off, last-minute-shopper profits be damned.

That's pretty funny.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Me, too, Trudy! I, and 3 of my siblings, look so much alike our baby pictures get mixed up, but I was POSITIVE I was adopted.
YES! And I wasn't even pissed about it or "I'm not your REAL child wah wah wah, you HATE me". I just wanted them to 'fess up and get it over with.

Or maybe it means we're all onto something...
