Randomness

Evening!

So I've been wondering something lately....am I the queen weirdo of strange, irrelevant, random thoughts....or is this common and people don't talk about it?  Just those weird things that pop into your head for no apparent reason.  Things will pop into my head, and I actually start to ponder them...then I find myself shaking my head and thinking, "Why am I even thinking about that? Does everyone do this, or am I 'special'?"

Ready to peer into my mind of randomness?  Don't be afraid.  Or maybe be afraid, because I still don't know if this is common or not.

Random thoughts, lately:

1.  Has the very first or very last Lotto ticket purchased for any given jackpot, ever been the winner?  

2.  Is that squirrel sitting spread eagle because he's watching something, or because he's laying on a surface that's making his belly cooler?

3.  Do I like the color pink because I think as a girl I'm supposed to, so I've been conditioned to like it.  Or do I actually enjoy the color?  And who decided pink was for girls and blue was for boys?

4.  When was it decided that we needed to layer clothes?  If our ancestors only wore loin cloths, which turned into clothes because...?? Eventual modestly, weather?  So when people started to wear more and more material, who decided that we still needed material underneath (i.e. bras and underwear)?  Is it a gravity thing only?  I think this came to me when I was doing laundry.

5.  Who decides that rude things are indeed rude?  Does someone decide certain mannerisms are rude because someone found it displeasing, and why is something displeasing?  For example, I don't like the sound of someone smacking gum.  I think it sounds loud, and rude.  But why do I think that?  It's really not any louder than someone talking, right?  And why do I think it's rude?  Who decided chewing with your mouth open was rude?  Because we don't want to see the chewing?  Why is that wrong, and chewing with your mouth closed is right?  Insert any pet peeve into this thought process.  Are things we label as rude, rude because we were taught that something is rude (chewing with your mouth open, elbows on the table, speaking over others, etc), or because we just don't like it, but why don't we?  I went round and round with this one, as you can see.

Those are just a small, small, sample of my insane thinking.  And here is the thing, when I refer to these thought processes, I don't mean they crossed my mind for a split second, then I went on with my day.  I will spend actual time thinking about these things....like really pondering.  

So, my original question, is that normal, and we just don't talk to each other about it because we all think we are weird or different?  And actually, who decided it was weird or different to have several random thoughts through the course of the day?  

Not weird at all to me!  :)  xoxo
