1. The quirks or oddities about a person that don't seem to make sense
2. A made-up word created by Corynne

Here's what I mean: I hate running. I detest it. I loathe it. But if you put me on a soccer field or a football field, I will gladly run like my life depends on it, all for the sake of winning a stupid game. Why the heck is that? Here's another of my weirdoms: I don't like orange juice, but I like oranges, and especially clementines (which I know are different, but still.) Along the same lines, I don't like ketchup much, but I'll gladly eat tomatoes all day.

Told ya. Walnut.

Your brain is amazing. It's complicated. It's powerful. And it's weird. It does things you don't understand for pretty much no reason. Like back during the summer, my friend and I were calling each other names and I called her a walnut. For whatever reason, I liked it, and now that's her name in my phone. Why did my brain decide that was the best thing to call my best friend? I don't know! But there you go.

So why are our brains so weird? They do all sorts of crazy crap that really makes no sense. For example, if you make yourself a tuna sandwich and the mayo you use is bad and you get sick from it, your brain does this thing where even smelling a tuna sandwich can make you feel sick, even though that sandwich is most likely fine.

Isn't that weird?

Anyway... I don't remember where I was going with this, to be honest. But I just think it's interesting, all the weird little things your brain does. I find it amazing that something so complex regulates the tiniest details of our lives, whether consciously or subconsciously. To me, it's proof of what Heavenly Father can do, and has done for us :) He created us, he created this beautiful earth for us to live on... We have so much to be thankful for :) And yes, I know this post is pretty much the randomest thing ever, but that's what I get for writing at midnight when I'm sick and should be sleeping.
