The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I've actually also recently become increasingly self conscious about things I'm muttering to myself while I'm at work. I mean, it's normally only little frustrated outbursts like "Come on." or "Really?!", but I've caught myself muttering things I'm doing under my breath a lot, and oh god what if everyone thinks I'm completely strange?
aaat least you don't occasionally suffer from word salad like me!
strings of words with no structure to give them meaning?

I do not step on the cracks.
Or if I do, I have to step on an even number of cracks with each foot.
I will change my gait in order to do this.

when i'm riding in a car i do this thing that's sort of hard to explain but basically i count off things that i think of as dividers like driveways or big trees or streets or whatever

after I do hallucinogens, it's an easier process -- I just leave out a word in a regular sentence, or the grammatical roles get scrambled. It's a corruption.
when I'm having a proper word salad "tic" it's a phrase defined by rhythm and cadence that I wouldn't be saying without the tic

I am pretty sure that what you do is normal
now I'm curious what you mean by word salad
schizophasia
ah, ok
I do this thing sometimes where as I'm speaking, I'll change my mind about a word as I'm saying it and instead end up saying a combination of the two words instead of one or the other.

I guess what I do isn't usually strictly schizophasia as I don't lose the capability to process language
"True" word salad is the line getting dropped between the mind and the mouth, and a complete lack of understanding as to why others aren't following
so what I do is closer to a tic, which makes sense given my physical tics. I could've been diagnosed with tourette's as a child/teenager, which is pretty funny, I guess.
Somtimes I get on facebook to check Stale's status and see who is winning.
I can never tell.
I'm home from work today because it feels like I swallowed broken glass and lava.
While I'd like to think I'm beating this, I know I'm not.
While that sucks, I just meant between you and me.
Because whoever wins, we lose.
(I've been two weeks without pain meds just to prove a point that I am not 'addicted' to them. The result is that I'm always in pain and I never feel like eating, but sometimes I'm also feeling hunger pain. So if I force myself to eat through to pain, some of the pain goes away, but it hurts in a new way afterwards._
Welcome to the club.
The hunger is more a mental thing. After a few months, it became more ritualistic, and I realized I was addicted to the hunger pains.
So I started forcing myself to eat more often.
Now I realize I'm eating even when I'm not craving anything, and I've started passing a lot of blood daily. So that has to stop.

My apologies. I have a nephew named Anfernee, and I know how mad he gets when I call him Anthony. Almost as mad as I get when I think about the fact that my sister named him Anfernee
I talk too fast.
I get a headache if I don't have a cup of tea by 11 in the morning.
I check far too often that my money, make up and diary are in my handbag out of fear of losing them.
I can't work without a really clear space or I stress.
I have a habit of sitting on my ass in front of a computer and doing nothing, but I am working on this.
I also have to eat something while I'm here, I guess it's out of boredom or I'm just restless so I turn to sunflower seeds to keep myself from becoming fat. I'm actually working on just forcing myself to drink something instead, even if I'm not thirsty.
If I don't do things in a certain order early in the mornings I will skip them entirely, and I often won't notice before it is too late.

I dig that you have a diary.
Does the clear workspace manifest itself at home? Cause at work? I need the desk to be clean at the end of the day, but at home, I'm a pretty cluttered person right up until I snap and powerclean the entire apartment.
I have a very very hard time sitting with my back to the door in a restaurant/bar/etc.
My grandfather couldn't do, my uncles can't do it and neither can I. I get visibly uncomfortable. It's to the point where most of my friends and chelsea will just give me the seat or know better. Except for the one friend's wife. No no, she refuses because "it's just silly, what could happen?"
Phone is always in right front pocket, keys in left front, wallet in left rear.
I iron t-shirts.
Hmmm...what else? I mean, I have things the way I like them in places like my kitchen, but I don't consider that a habit or a tick...that's just efficiently knowing that I can grab a knife from the block and know what I'm pulling out.
What the fuck, you're like backwards-man.
Framling on
you're = you are
your = belonging to you

I'm the same as zip except wallet is in back right most of the time, but sometimes on left
Often I sit at my computer, put on my headphones and forget to put on music, so I'm just listening to nothing.
I do this when I'm on public transportation a lot, mostly without realizing, like when a playlist is done. Then I'm too lazy to dig In my pocket to choose a new song and just leave them on. It also gives me a chance to eavesdrop without being obvious about it
Wallet back right pocket, phone/music and handkerchief in front left pocket, smokes and keys in right front pocket. Any other way seems weird to me. This also means my pockets are constanly bulgy

Maybe it's because I'm a lefty? Don't know.
That positioning never changes. If I have an ipod in my pocket it goes in with the phone. Change goes into the pocket with the keys. This is to keep shit from getting all scratched up.
Oddly enough though, I never talk on the phone with it against the right side of my head. Always the left.

Oh my god I do this all the time, and not just to words I say, usually it's to movies or TV shows or song lyrics.
really needed that to get through the day
now I'm curious what you mean by word salad
use some lube
take off that sandpaper glove first
Or if I do, I have to step on an even number of cracks with each foot.
I will change my gait in order to do this.

word salad: green sleep ideas furiously colourless
i just get bored and make games for myself
schizophasia
dull
and i read like a paragraph
and then said
"would you like some dressing for that word salad"
and then sunglasses dropped down onto my head yeahhh
when I'm having a proper word salad "tic" it's a phrase defined by rhythm and cadence that I wouldn't be saying without the tic
ah, ok

Moral of the story
Do more hallucinogens
Grool.
but I don't want to be normal
groovy/cool?
lots of that kind of thing, lots of ungrammatical sentences, sentence fragments, stutters, pauses
"True" word salad is the line getting dropped between the mind and the mouth, and a complete lack of understanding as to why others aren't following
so what I do is closer to a tic, which makes sense given my physical tics. I could've been diagnosed with tourette's as a child/teenager, which is pretty funny, I guess.

Me too. I have a bad habit of not brushing my teeth before bed, and I'm not even British.
I get a headache if I don't have a cup of tea by 11 in the morning.

your = belonging to you
their = belonging to them
there = not here

At home mainly, at work I have to cope because there's leaves and stuff everywhere. I snap too, suddenly overwhelmed by rage and a need to clean.

unless i have my ipod on me
then it's ipod in front right, phone in front left
old receipts in back left for some reason
Wink?
Maybe it's because I'm a lefty? Don't know.
