Okay, I’m going to let you all [Lorren. My only LJ friend at the moment] in on a little Nick update:
- The guy who shot him got arrested, apparently he did it on purpose. What an idiot. Nick is everyone’s best friend.
Too bad I just told her on AIM
HA!
but all you blog readers who read my blog without me knowing, is very satisfied, eh?
YES.
All right. the depressing part of this blog is now over.MW&C just released a record on the 21st and I am so stoked. I want to go out and buy it, but apparently not that many stores are selling it because they are so indie..
and that sucks
But anyways, I went over to Allie’s house after school on Friday and it was so much fun! C was there [Hardly know her, but she seems pretty rad] and Debbie
IT WAS SO FUN.
Little tid bits:
- Allie has a peeing fountain in her living room.
- Allie has over 110 cows in her living room/kitchen [No. Not real ones.]
- Allie does not have a mexican pan. What a loser.
Yesterday I went to McChord again, and dude, I am now the proud owner of a sewing machine! I just need to practice more. and I need to find some practice fabric… =(
School is in tomorrow and of course, I do not want to go. At all. it is far too stressful.
And alot of people will probably be absent. I mean, come on. This stupid flu thing is going around, and I want to get sick so badly. My efforts of getting sick is NOT working. I actually breathe in when people sneeze/cough, I don’t wash my hands before I eat at school. Ugh. WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET THIS HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS DISEASE AT THE SCHOOL??? Come on. This sucks.
but yeah. Is this a long post? I hope it is.. But lets see what else I can talk about. I need to be entertaining, I need to keep the show rolling!!
Lets talk about my synesthesia. Is this interesting to me? Yes. To you? Maybe. It depends on the person I am talkingto.
Last night I tasted a marshmallow and I realized that it is purple, with bright specks of blue. I didn’t think that I had taste-color, but I guess I do. This is one of the first times that I thought about it.
It’s weird knowing that other people don’t see this or have this. I know that it doesnt happen to other people but gosh-darn-it. I keep thinking “This is so obvious, how can other people not see it???”
It aggravates me so much when I try to express something, but all I can describe is the color!!!
I wonder if the people around me have this or notice this just like I do. I have only asked a few people about it, and they have nothing to say about it. Other times I talk about it openly, hoping that someone will come out and say something like “yeah, I know what you’re talking about.” Not “oh, I’ve heard of that before.”
I mean, it is so obvious. It is right there.
But on the other hand, I am very happy that people don’t call me a freak when I talk about it. I’m happy that people are so much more.. Open minded, than I thought.
But.. How can people just see the words without the color?? rofl.
I would love to just talk to someone who has this. It would be so interesting to see what happens with them. I mean, online there really isn’t much, since it is so rare. Most people haven’t even heard of this before, much less experienced it.
I should make a dictionary of my synesthesia. I have it so much.. Sound-color, word-color, taste-color… Those are the only three I have noticed.
It is hard to notice, but when you do notice it, it gets very obvious. It’s very involuntary, so it’s in the back of my mind and then when I think about it later, I start to notice it more.
Like synchronicity. But that is an entirely different thing [the science between your coincidences.].. After you start to realize the synchronicity in your life, the more synchronicities occur in your life.
Aren’t my posts so interesting??
I was reading this book about memory.. I really liked it. There was this one part where the guy was telling this story. it was like:
This man had to do a speech in front of alot of people for a charity thing, and right before he was going to start talking, he was called out front by two men. So he went out, and right when he got out, the building collapsed and everyone inside died.
The people who died couldn’t be identified to the families, but the man remembered who sat where. He had a certain technique of doingthis, it was where he had a certain place set in his mind that he knew very well [like his house, his bedroom, his bathroom] and, in his mind, he took a stroll down his house, at a certain object [a lamp, a table, a glass of water], he would mark a certain name on it [in his mind..], and when he had to remember it later, he would simply take another stroll through his house, picking up the names along the way.
I really liked the book.
The guy also said that it is easier to remember things if they are formatted in columns like this:
________ _________
________ _________
________ _________
Instead of:
________
________
________
Interesting, right?
The guy also said that another way to remember things is to mark what you want to remember, in a box.:
__________
| memory |
Rad. You know??
This is a very long entry, I will end it now. So your eyes can take a rest.
