Oh those Twi-hards... I had the same problem when Seabiscuit came out--at least they weren't comparing me to the horse.

Well, the Twi-hards are more like Twi-tards....
Personally, why would I want to look like the average jerk, why would I want to look a certain way just to appeal/look good to a shallow teenage girl?
Those girls are just too shallow and too obsessed.
I've never seen Seabiscuit, but I bet it was good if it was enough for you to be a fan of it.

I wasn't a fan of it--Seabiscuit was the "in thing" for teens to pester each other with before they had Twilight. Frankly, I hated horses at that age. Hence the conflict.

Because the stereotypical teen-ish-aged girl likes horses to the point of obsession?
I don't know, I never watched it.

Oh back then, the girly, stereotypical girl, whose only desire, was to grow up, have two or more kids, be a stay at home mom, and live miserably, was that type of girl, right?
It makes sense.

That's...not very nice to assume all girls are or were like that. What is wrong if they were? It doesn't hurt anyone...
Mm...back on topic!
I was once told that if you eat the crusts off your bread, your hair would have ringlets and pretty curls. I believed it for a long time and used to avoid eating the crusts off my sandwiches. Then I decided it would actually be nice to try having ringlets in the ends of my hair and so I started to eat them and found out it wasn't true. I was quite young at the time. Lol.

It wasn't that long ago! I'm only twenty here. We're talking five or six years ago.

lol my dad told me the crust thing too. he also told me i'd have super night vision if i ate carrots (which i guess is somewhat true, but he made it sound like i'd turn into an owl) and all sorts of silly food things like that. my dad is in general a pretty goofy guy, hehe.

Christine, I've always loved carrots, and since I knew glasses was common in both sides of my family, I began thinking eating carrots could keep my vision where it was.
I have near sighted vision.
I still eat carrots.

Someone once told me if I never brushed my hair, it would all fall out. Every time a hair came out they claimed it was "proof" that they were right.
Oh, and also according to this person, if I ever touched even a drop of my own blood, I'd get cancer and/or horrible lifethreatening diseases. Because you know your own blood is your worst enemy.

Ghosthande, if the 2nd part was true, you'd already have it!
You're always touching large amounts of your own blood, technically that is.

I know. I tried asking something similar--how can touching it externally cause horrible reactions when it's present in my entire body (liver included)? How and why would something that incredibly vital be in any way dangerous? She didn't have an answer, although I was actually bleeding at the time the conversation took place, so we were a bit busy to be carrying on a full conversation.
I guess I can see where the reasoning for a belief like that could start, but that's taking it waaaaaay out of any reasonable context.

Eh.
Somehow, I find it fun to analyze things and rationalize things too.

Touching your own blood causes diseases, lol... Maybe the blood of others and/or when the blood dropped into the dirt, okay, but directly when it came out of the wound? Rofl!

Papry, it's diseases!
Yeah, the blood of others, and dirt, makes sense, especially with AIDS, and other deadly, fluid contracted diseases.

Ok this discussion seems to be getting a wee bit out of hand but I'll just say a dumb thing I've been told
When I was five my brother told me babies came from belly buttons!

No, I'm meaning what you'd been told was so dumb, and disgusting, that I had to ignore it.
The mere thought of that what was said, makes me sick, makes me feel like I was about to throw up.
If it felt like an insult or something, no offense/none was intended.

When we were kids, one of my friends was under the impression that all animals hatched from eggs. Cats, dogs, mice, horses... Literally ALL animals. It was quite funny. Somebody's cat would have kittens and he'd be like, "where are the eggs??"
