Aural Flame

When I was in junior high, I was sitting with someone when my ears starting ringing all of a sudden. I pointed this out to him, thinking it was somewhat odd, considering there was nothing that sparked this event. He told me that your ears ring when someone is talking about you. If your right ear is ringing, they're saying positive things, while your left ear means they're saying negative things about you. I later learned of the expression of burning ears which essentially meant the same thing. I liked to think that the left/right ear extended to that as well.

This is more of a random anecdote than anything else, but there was one time where I slept over at Steve's house after we went to see Superbad with the rest of the children. It was around 3-4AM after he dropped me off, but I had been locked out of my house. No one seemed to be awake to open the door, so Steve was nice enough to pick me up and let me spend the night. As I lay in his basement trying to fall asleep, my right ear was both ringing and burning with a pretty strong intensity. I'm not sure who was speaking of me at that time, but it still makes me wonder, since at that point, everyone whom I knew was probably asleep. And if it was my family, why exactly wouldn't they have answered the doorbell?

Anyways, there tend to be occasions where my ears will be ringing and/or burning (though I've yet to figure out the "spiritual" difference between the two) and usually the situation presents itself to who would be saying what about me. This week, however, my ears have been ringing/burning sporadically throughout and I'm not really sure what's going on. It's usually my left ear, too.

So which one of you has been talking shit about me?
