    a bastard that forgets his past has no future

    I don't care about the past or.the future. I care about right now.

    I don't even understand how you're sneaking these periods in there

    gotta keep an eye on that pinky finger, man. It's going rogue.

    phone posting

    eff the hassle of fixing it.

    If you hit double space you get a period

    If you go a little too far right you get a period instead of a space

    And in the dark with my glasses off I always close my left eye to use my phone and Idont know why

    Also Shank why don't you get on inventing some words

    so your memories of, say, fall of '08 have the same feel or filter to them as your memories of spring of '10?

    you guys are making me think that this is one of my odd synesthetic quirks

    it's certainly the right type of thing, I suppose.

    Also Shank why don't you get on inventing some words

    I am going to use the word "dorophonic" to describe the feeling of last fall because it immediately summons the sense of bubbles traveling through water in a thick-glassed chamber, like in Ada, or Ardor

    I am going to use the word "bobolomonic" to describe the feeling of last summer, because it was bouncy and the pacing was very strange & quick but it was still subdued and very lackadaisical

    that's true, we do, hm

    something I've thought about a bit are salient features of the younger population on here vs. salient features of the older population on here

    they can't be cleanly grouped together, but a lot of the folks around our age seem to have certain attitudes in common that are not shared by the older people but also are not typical of people our age

    Yeah basically. Different stuff going on and I was a different person back then but it all just feels like memories.

    e: The only thing I have that could be remotely considered synesthesia is that I associate the word cake with a crackling sound.

    gosh I can't even imagine

    I think a "filter" is the best way to describe it

    imagine if all your memories of certain time periods were colored particularly

    like fall '08 had a very particular shade of orange and spring '10 had a precise shade of blue-green

    but instead of colors they are...very, very abstract associations. Nothing like "SADNESS" or "CHERRY PIE," just an immediate surge of indescribable feeling paired with memories of certain periods

    if Matt gets his commune set up, it's not out of the question!!

    I've been thinking about getting a commune (to use a very general term for a very specific thing) established myself, actually, with this land up in Bolinas--the money is there and the interest is there, I just need to talk to my farmer friends about what sort of work we'd be looking at

    I only remember things when it matters the least.

    at any moment i can recite my phone numbers, my parents and friend's birthday all sorts of things, but yet i always forget birthdays and i have to look up my phone number every time i am asked.

    I also once forgot my name while not intoxicated. That was not a fun hour and a half.

    Very interesting.

    I'd say the closest I can come to that experience is through music. It's basically raw emotion. Most of my classmates that are music majors have trouble turning off their "theory ears" which makes listening to music for pleasure difficult for them. I can easily shut off that analytical part of my brain and really feel the music. Pretty much all of my listening is for pleasure. Finding words for the feelings music evokes for me is super difficult though.
