The things you just know.

Nat King Cole....I can't have Christmas without him singing "chestnuts roasting on an open fire....."

material girl, I am glad that you started this thread, because I have felt that I have genetic memory, and I am NOT talking about instinct. I know songs that I should NOT know, for example Japanese Sandman. This is my way of book marking, and I would like to see what others contribute.

This is my bookmark. When I was very small (I want to say 6) I remember having the epiphany that it was great to be a girl because then I wouldn't have to go to war. And I had a very real (to me) sense of what it would be like to be in a war and to feel like it was only a matter of time before your time was up, that the odds were good you'd die, and that it really wasn't something you could control. I suppose I could have seen a movie or something, but it seemed like such a strange thing for a little girl to know.

I also was acutely aware of racism (like the above it was the epiphany of how lucky I was to be white) though my parents did not impart that to me.

Every year at about this time, I always get the sudden realisation that it's exactly five months to Christmas day.

I think a lot of it is what you've picked up from your parents, conversations around the house between family members, things that are heard on radio or tv when you think you're not paying attention.
It's like those tapes that you can play while you're sleeping to learn a language, etc.; you acquire knowlege of things subliminally.

That makes perfect sense. And little children are perfect sponges.

Freeduck, this may seem to be inapppopriate, but would you consider giving me head?

I long for your bill.

Whose head would you like, dear?

september 11 was about israel.

i was 12 at the time and i just knew when i saw the pictures this had to do with palestine.

i know things i shouldnt, but i attribute it to basically educated guesses.

im just good at triangulating information when i dont have the complete picture.

i dont know how to say it.

And when i was small, i used to see people smoking tweak and i dont know why i always used to think they were smoking death, i would picture skulls and ****.(hmm now that i think about it, it might have been because they looked so skinny and skeletal?)

thats the only time i remember knowing something before i really knew it.lol.

Mr Bean is another one.

Things you just know
What about other things you just know? Dreams? Having to call your family because you have a bad feeling? Or seeing the news on TV and feeling releived? My great-grandmother told me the other day that I have the "Same" feelings as her mother. I will call all family members when I have the "feeling" to make sure they are O.K. Most of the time when I have a "feeling", it's an earthquake. What do you think of that? Trust me...It's not fun to have them. They usually make me nauseous.

Is it spelled right?

In BrE, it is spelt right...

In AmE, it is spelled right too...

there's a lot more to the world than this.

i relate best to agnostics, i don't think god has any use for ontological loyalty, (i don't think it's possible to know if it/s/he/they do/es) i'm not saying "there's a god."

i just think we shut most of the world out of the mind.

how much of the entire universe (jim jones's or arthur c. clarke's) can we experience in a lifetime? a f*** of a lot more than we bother to, and it's gotta be worth looking for it, regardless of the terminology- regardless of "religion."

Neil Amstrong is another one.
