Redball:
This ability brings you closer to divinity, or at least great importance. One definition of mere humanity is this: "C'mon, he puts his pants on one leg at a time like the rest of us!"

Saturday evening I went to the store to get some milk and cereal when this woman walked up to me to ask wether I could "spare 40 cents, to buy some potting soil". I told her I didn't have any change but would give her some after I made my purchases.
I gave her a fiver when I left because I forgot to ask the cashier for coins and because I figured if you stand outside the supermarket on saturday night asking people for money to buy flowering soil you probably need it more than me.
Really weird.
LTK:
Sometimes I get a bit sad that I'm not a musician, because once in a while I wake up with a melody playing in my head that seems to have come out of nowhere. This morning it was a classical-sounding piano tune. I don't really have a way of putting it down, other than asking my sister to play it for me, but she can't look into my head.
Barmymoo:
Potting soil? How weird. Is that some kind of euphemism for drugs these days, or did she urgently need to pot up some vegetables?
LTK, can you hum the tune? Then you could record it and get someone to write it down for you.
VonKleist:
@LTK: Yeah, go see what the melody actually plays out like, then enjoy because you think you have crafted something original.. then wait until either you yourself or someone else recognizes for just song X's melody one octave up/down/whatever :-)
(and thatīs is what itīs like to be a musician)
Iīve been thinking about the potting soil lady since then and wether she actually wanted soil or not.. She had kind of a hippie thing going on with faded tattoos down her arms and on her wrists and she looked kind of stoned to me. It was so weird that I didn't linger. She just said "ohh, that much?" and I said "yeah, sure" and went.
