Being the curious and inquisitive creatures we are, the brain is just a big puzzle, and ours is like a Rubiks cube. (It sounded like a good analogy for the moment.)
I’ve always been interested in toying with words, ideas, puzzles, the way the body works, how the mind works etc. It is entertaining, but despite all the thoughts in my head, I do get bored easily and I do get those intense “I’ve got to DO something” moments which usually result in some new project or other that I’ll get bored with shortly after if I can’t complete it all in one sitting.
It just never occurred to me how very different my mind (and ours) works compared to everyone else. I always knew I wasn’t relating on the same level and that I was “weird” (I love being weird), but thankfully, I think I’ve always been an interesting weird and not the “creepy girl” (now woman) weird. (I hope at least.)
I’ve discovered too that since taking the medication (day two now), I feel like I’m still very much me, just more so than before. I’m not getting in my own way. I still feel very creative, and it’s allowing me to keep track of everything I’m doing daily much better and really feel like I’m in control of things at work. So, I guess in Rubik’s terms, my brain is checkerboard pattern right now instead of completely mixed up.
I too love this thread. Am I allowed to do that if I started it? ;p
BTW, Number 7 DX, I would love to have a hand masher on hand. There are times that I’m just too lazy to use the electric (which seems totally contradictory.
Not to bring up a totally different topic, but it goes with the “lazy” remark above (see? I’m staying in line here ;p). I was a responsible parent and breastfed my children. I used to tell people that I did it because I was too lazy to clean bottles etc. Obviously that wasn’t the entire reason, but I remember people giving me odd looks about referring to it as the “lazy” way. I always figured, no bottles to clean, nothing to mix or prepare or warm up, meant it was easier (not to mention healthier to my mind.) I never realized that people thought my way was the “hard” way. Again, this isn’t to bring up any debates on what’s best, but just an interesting observation on how my mind worked out that it was choosing the easiest/most convenient means.
