    i have a few:

    i routinely count words or syllables in what i say

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    it was actually kind of a surprise to linguists, when they started actually starting language properly and empirically, how messy spoken language is

    lots of that kind of thing, lots of ungrammatical sentences, sentence fragments, stutters, pauses

    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.


    there is no middle

    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.

    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.
