The Quirky Human Mind's Quirks of the Quirky Human Mind's..
I hate deja vus.
Out of nowhere, but from somewhere, they hit you like a rock to the face. An ANALOGY! Deja vus are like rocks that hit your face, my reasoning? Common symptoms.
1. When hit, you take a few moments to process what happened. (Making a face that resembles that of a domesticated animal.)
2. You look around, dumbly. "Who threw that?!?"
Nobody answers.
3. If such events are familiar to you, then chances are it wasn't the first time. The problem is the rock, hitting you so hard that you lose all of your long term memory. Like a deja vu.
The problem with deja vus is that you remember them...kind of. Because it is a deja vu, you ponder it. Not enough to remember the details, but enough to put into your memory bank. As a result, You set up another deja vu for when the same occurrence happens to you again, when your mind pulls the memory out (just a tiny bit) but cannot remember details.
So you aren't weird for having reoccurring deja vus, "I remember that I remembered this before!" its part of a complex and natural cycle of brain farts.
Gah!
I just had a deja vu of myself posting about deja vus. No joke.
