seriously, some of my friends do the dumbest shit, and i'm like "you really didn't think that one through, did you? what did you expect to happen once you did that?"
it's like i'm the only one with a fucking backup plan

zonugal do you play chess? Your thought process seems conducive to chess.
I actually don't play to many strategy games all together. My strengths, in using my foresight, actually end up being used for comedy the most. Preparing jokes and improv theater in general serves my nature very well (and my mind tends to grant me some talent towards them).
I usually demonstrate a remarkable lack of forethought
I think it's because I never thought I'd live this long
not to say that I think I am constantly at risk of death
well
not to say that I think I am constantly at risk of death all the time

Last year I attended a work training thing with my department (maybe 90 altogether) and during it made around six or seven great jokes. I had a coworker try a joke for it to fall flat. He later spoke to me and asked what my process was and I let him in on it. "Any time you see me in a large crowd looking off or being quiet I am assembling a joke. And I mean I'm analyzing the beginning, the flow and reworking the punchline. That is my process at all times."
Yeah, planning ahead for social situations ain't nothing weird.
I really should give myself more credit in social situations. People seem to respond well to me in person, and I guess I made an okay impression at PAX last year. Nonetheless, I still can't shake the notion that I'm a big creep and everybody hates me.

Good news! When worked out, I will still get a Distinction (A grade equivalent) on my overall qualification which will be on my certificate, so I do not need to resit.
This is very good news, thank you to those who kept me sane when I thought I'd failed miserably.

Hey guys. My rant.
Group Assignments. [cue collective groan]
The one I am attempting to salvage is a trainwreck. A report and presentation. Now, who in the beginning rallied and got them to actually decide what we were doing? Me. Why? Because I didn't want TODAY to happen. Needless to say, it did.
I went to the library we needed to do the whole shebang on, on my own. We swapped email addresses. I did some work.
The Easter break happened. I started writing what I could, la-di-da. They said they would email me their information. Needless to say, they didn't. I then had my wisdoms out, and therefore was out of action.
This morning, the day before the fucking thing is due, I ask for their information. "Um, er, um" was the response. "I thought you were doing the report? We did the powerpoint..." Now. This powerpoint is a disaster. Red text in loopy fonts, on minecraft and final fantasy backdrops. With Friday as a final piece of music to top it off. "Cos its cool!"
The report, they wanted me to bullshit, WITHOUT their input, (group assignment much?!) is 10pgs long. They wanted me to do this, tonight.
So, I have a sliiight panic attack. Thankfully, I liasoned with the disability people, and explained the trainwreck I can't get off. So, I get a week extension. This is good. Very good.

Oh my god.
I feel for you, it is the worst when you are doing all the hard work and everyone else is being plain stupid.
Thank god they gave you that extension, does each group member get individually graded? I hope so.

That's brilliant to hear, I know you were worried about it so glad it turned out like this :^:
And HB, I've only ever had to deal with group assignments at A-level (...and very briefly in teacher training but my group was pretty good so that's not a relevant anecdote) but my god do I know that feeling
Being the bad guy because you've had to call them out on being crap and fix their mess? How lovely!

Just hoping tomorrow will pass with a minimum amount of angst. Seriously, the amount of tension in my jaw could rival... I dunno what it will rival, but definately something. Thanks guys.
I mean, synesthesia, like all things, exists on a greyscale, and what Muse has can be considered a very mild sort of it
I have a similar sort of thing where I conceptualize places, events, narratives in terms of objects positioned in relationship to one another
like when I try to visualize a plot, I think of a room in which one man is standing next to another man and is looking down at his hands, while the first man keeps his feet at shoulder-width and looks straight ahead. Or it could be a bee hanging out on the window while a refrigerator lies tipped over on the other side of the room. Depends on what I'm thinking of!
Hey, guys, want to play a fun game?
How do you visualize a year?
For me, it is a circle. The end/beginning of the year is at the bottom of the circle, and it progresses counter-clockwise, so from the bottom of the circle it goes right to January, then up until July, then back down to December on the lefthand side
A year is a fairly long (not infinitely) corridor or rectangular cube of varying color for me.
Or when I think about it now it's almost like steps downward with January being the highest and December being the lowest.

I want to do with you
What spring does with the cherry trees.
there's this girl in one of my classes and I always thought she was attractive but now something clicked (as happens) and I feel like I gotta talk to her
I never have before, though! so I'm saying the odds are that I'll just keep thinking about it until school ends

I don't really know what it's up to most of the time

that's a lie, but it makes me seem dashing
which may or may not be the right thing but it could lead to some other consideration

this of course is ridiculous and never works but
can't help it. in terms of more productive thinking ahead, nah I tend to just go with whatever
I think it's because I never thought I'd live this long

Yes, TBH. And yes, I am a bit crazy.

But now I fall asleep around 5 p.m. and wake up around 2 a.m.
Which is actually really rad and gives me a lot of quiet alone time to do work and relax

What spring does with the cherry trees.
As for my thought process: it is a constant stream of fragmented story ideas or characters
In a completely random order
I ain't able to thonk/write in chronological order.
Bits and pieces kinda all fall together then I jigsaw up them bitches
I am never not engaged in a story
Readin', writin', watchin' tv, or even just thinkin'
There is always a.story goin' on
I thought of you when I saw that TLB.
I still been watchin' that marathon
And today is the best day
it's death wish 3 day
I have to listen to this song every time it gets brought up in conversation
the perfect song.
a year is a vertical column, with the months wrapping around. each month is a different color (in pastel) and the months always line up vertically.
I never have before, though! so I'm saying the odds are that I'll just keep thinking about it until school ends
Do it
Now
(Maybe later)
What spring does with the cherry trees.
I know right and a lot of it was right up my alley too.
(All the months have different colors for me too, and they usually stay the same. Like November's always red and December's always blue).
What spring does with the cherry trees.
this weekend is spring fling so maybe I'll just get drunk and do some things with ladies
