I don't like feeling the baby move. It freaks me out. The small kicks/punches are fine but when he starts shifting around in there and I can feel his head or other body parts from the outside...it gives me the willies.
alien-esque is definitely the word i would use to describe it. thumps and bumps are cool, but the whole position changes are really, really weird feeling to me.
It gives me the willies sometimes, and other times I like it. I realized that it mainly correlates to my own anxiety level--when I'm feeling stressed and overwhelmed I'm like "geez keep it down in there! I'm trying to do things and maybe I don't want a constant reminder of the huge impending change to my life that's freaking me out!" But when I'm cheerful and excited, I'm like "aawwww, she's wiggling!"

This cracked me up and is totally how I envision myself feeling as things progress.
Last night I was reclining on the couch and all of a sudden my belly started moving around like there were two squirrels fighting in a paper bag. Just...no.
On the plus side, he doesn't move much during the night except for an odd kick. This means I'll be blessed with a STTN baby, right?
I never liked the kicks to the ribs last time. DH could actually hear the noise because it was so hard. When DS came out I actually checked to see if his feet were blue with bruises from kicking me. I like the earlier on movements.
It's definitely strange and a little bit creepy sometimes! If you feel bad I probably should too, because sometimes it really freaks me out. Sure it's cool, but it's also definitely weird. The position changes are the weirdest for me too.

it always cracked me up when you'd see belly movements from pregnant coworkers during meetings ... then they started happening to me and it was bizarre.
