So I held that speech about my tics to my class. I said it would be magnificent, and it was! But my throat closed up a few times and I sort of cried at the end. But on the other hand, so was everyone else.
I think that’s called a success. ;D

Top 10 strangest phenomena of the mind
1. Deja vu
Deja vu is an experience of having seen or experienced a new situation previously. It feels like if the event has already happened before. The experience is usually accompanied by a strong sense of familiarity and a sense of paradox or bizarre. The “previous” experience is usually attributed to a dream, but sometimes there is a constant feeling that it really has happened in the past.
2. Deja Vecu
Deja vecu is what most people experience when they think they are having a deja vu. Deja vu is when one has a feeling that he has seen something before, whereas deja vecu is an experience of having seen an event before, but with great detail as to recognize the smells and sounds. This also is usually accompanied by a very strong sense of knowledge about what will happen next.
3. Deja senti
Deja senti is a phenomenon of having already felt something. The phrase “I have felt it before” perfectly captures deja senti. It is only a mental phenomenon and seldom remains in our memory later. Many epileptic patients often experience deja senti.
4. Deja Visite
Deja visite is a less common experience and includes an unexplained knowledge of a new place. For example, you may know the location around you (a new city or a landscape) although you have never been there before.
5. Jamais Vu
Jamais Vu describes a familiar situation that we do not recognize. It is often considered to be the opposite phenomenon of deja vu. The observer does not recognize the situation although it is known that he has experienced it before.
6. Presque Vu
Presque Vu is very similar to the feeling in the “tip of the tongue”. When someone is ready to say something but his brain gets stuck and a word does not come out.
7. L’esprit de l’escalier
L’esprit de l’escalier is when a smart thought comes to you when it is too late.
8. Capgras Delusion
Capgras Delusion is a phenomenon when a person believes that a close friend or a family member has been replaced with an identically looking one. This illusion is often met in people with schizophrenia.
9. Fregoli Delusion
Fregoli Delusion is a rare brain phenomenon which makes a person believe that different people are the same person in various disguises.
10. Prosopagnosia
Prosopagnosia is a phenomenon in which a person is unable to recognize faces of people or objects he knows. People who have this disorder are usually able to use the other senses to identify individuals, such as the person’s perfume, the sound of his voice or his hairstyle.

Hanna is being a Mean Girl and Cas is being a wuss! xD
The orginal quote is from the film “Mean Girls”!
Karen: If you’re from Africa, why are you white?
Gretchen: Oh my God, Karen, you can’t just ask people why they’re white.
xD Oh Cas. “Fin! Comfort me, I am deeply hurt…!”
You know, I sort of pride myself in my ability to write speeches, hm? I do. And school’s about to end and everyone will scatter away. So now’s my last chance to tell people why I’ve been twitching and jerking and tic-ing. They’ve been so nice not questioning me too many times what I’m doing that I feel they should know.
And I think it’s a good speech, I like it.
But it makes my stomach churn and turn upside down and I don’t feel so good when I think about it. >.<
I might be slightly terrified out of my mind. I might get some outer panic attack.
I shall do it!
There’s a time and place for everything, and I believe it’s called ‘fan fiction’.

Writing drunk… Sounds a lot more fun than it probably is.
The worst time for /that/ name to appear in your mind is around the end of school. I don’t have time to think about original stories right now D: But it’s a magical name *sparkles*
One time Ephraim popped into my head, and I wrote a 50k novel about zombies.
Now Zacharias popped into my head and I feel it is as special as Ephraim
