Paging Dr Freud...
Hey guys, like last Saturday, I didn't sleep a lot and I have to leave in an hour.
Plus, I'm in a pretty good mood at the moment. Not for any real aparent reason. Just a general, I like being alive today, kind of feeling. And when I'm in that mood I have a hard time trying to make myself do anything productive, I like to just sit and free associate. So you guys can be my Rorschach test. I'll write down the first 15 thoughts that pop into my head and you guys leave me notes as to how chemically imbalanced these musings reveal me to be. Plus, I can never get enough comments. This is a pure solicitation for feedback. Come on, bend to my will. Ready? Let's go:
1) It annoys me to no end that one of my hands is slightly smaller than the other. It is especially noticeable if you compare the two pinky fingers. One is WAY longer. I don't like it. Grr.
2) My room is painted light purple. I have painted my last two rooms this same color using the same two cans of paint.
3) When I was a kid we had a parrot named Jimmy. Jimmy didn't talk except to say one single phrase over and over and over: Step up Jimmy. He taught it to the other parrots so they would all chorus in "Step up Jimmy" every time anyone entered the room.
4) When my younger sister was in 2nd grade she hated her name and wanted to change it to Georgette.
5) When I fall asleep my whole body shakes. Or at least, that's what sleeping partners have told me. Aparently each limb shivers one at a time and then I do at least one whole body quiver.
6) Do you ever buy a new pair of pants and love them so much you wear them every day for a week? I just did this and now I seriously wonder what I wore before I got these pants. I can't remember. Suddenly every other pant-like item I own seems to have disappeared.
7) I think I'm a little addicted to solitare on my computer. My OCD tendencies love love love putting things in order endlessly.
8) H & R Block tells me am receiving 35 dollars for my state income tax return. I would rather the state of PA just buy me a nice blender and called it a day.
9) I can recite Eddie Izzard's Dressed to Kill verbatim. I'm very close with Glorious.
10) Little known and slightly strange fact: I am a dental oddity. I have two sets of wisdowm teeth, an extra bone in the hard palate of the roof of my mouth as well as a condition called "geographic tongue" in which small patches of taste buds deaden and then regenerate in shifting plces over time.
11) I just recently bought two new pairs of sandals. One of them cut the hell out of my feet.
12) Will Dawson's Creek ever stop being relevant to my life? I think not. I don't know why I like this show. I hate just about all the actors and the writing is bad. But still it tastes so very good to watch.
13) Food made by other people somehow tastes better. It just does. I can make the exact same thing I just saw someone else make and even when I know I did a better job I still want to eat theirs.
14) I have been in love 2 and a half times.
15) I learned the other day that the pole about which a circular staircase revolves is called a newel. I think this is the wrong name for it. I don't have a better suggestion. But I know newel is not right.
There you go friends. Play couch psychologist. I wait with baited breath for your response.

I liked the story about step up jimmy the parrot and considering my name is jimmy, I just had to leave a note. Don't start taking any brain blocking prescription drugs just yet, you sound at least as normal as I sometimes feel I am. http://Spreadtheworld.blogspot.com
1. is the longer hand your dominant hand?
2. i've always wanted to paint a room dark green. For some reason.
3. i knew a guy named Jimmy in high school. He was a physics genius. I heard many years later that he dropped out of college, got into drugs, and died of an OD.
4. where did she hear the name georgette?
5. and you dont remember doing this?
6. ive worn the same pair of pants for years. ive washed them a few times, of course.
7. im the same way with music albums
8. ive never gotten anything back from PA. bastards.
9. interesting
10. interesting, no. 2
11. ive had the same pair of sandals for nearly 8 years. they will never fall apart.
12. the show has good atmosphere. plus, i always had a thing for katie holmes.
13. my grandmother would say that good food is made with the heart. when you have food made my others, you get a little part of their soul - and, of course, it subconsciously reminds us of home.
14. i didn't know halves existed.
15. i didn't know that actually had a name. Regardless, i think i saw you on south street today. you seemed happy. thats cool.
Through careful calculation using intricate algorithms, I have deduced the secret, subconscious message hidden in the words you wrote. Prepare yourself; such a sudden insight into the depths of your id might be.. alarming.
If you take the fifth word in each phrase, you get:
No Light, Kid
Was My A Little?
Am Izzard's Strange?
Two Stop?
People Love Day.
There are infinite potential interpretations of this shocking display of raw thought. But I have faith that, now that the message has been brought forth, you will easily uncover the truth.
Cheers,

1) If plastic surgery were available to make your hands more identical, would you take advantage of it; or might you learn to champion your individuality? Maybe grow the finger nail longer on the shorter pinky finger so as equal the length of the opposite finger as well as develop a corresponding coke habit?
2) Your need for continuity of environment through paint is the feline's equivalent of pissing everywhere. This goes beyond just recreating a foreign environment to look like your previous one. If this is the third painting in a third location it is likely you anticipate the need by bringing the paint with your moves.
3) Just be glad your sister didn't feel the desire to change her name to jimmy. However, you might have missed an amusing opportunity to teach the parrot to say "step up georgette".
4) You too have at one time likely hated your name as well. Your need to organize and exert control over your environment likely extended to wanting to name yourself rather than have no choice in the matter. Or at least it should have. How does the name
Newela strike you?
5) Your high valuation of physical pleasure is again manifested through the full body orgasm precipitating sleep. Some might say this is all the stress leaving your body. You, however know it is really a competitive technique you have developed to ensure you fall asleep first by waking your partner as you do so.
6) Pants or paint, your need for comfort and continuity rules you. How often do you deliberately make yourself uncomfortable just to experience something new?
7) Just don't like this extend to hearts or pinball and you'll be fine.
8) You don't place much value on your economic viability.
9) Emulation of someone you believe funnier than you. Perhaps this memorization leads to mimicry rather than personal creativity? Leave this habit for pet parrots. Sometimes it is better to appreciate rather than analyze others work. Are you the critic or the creator?
10) You enjoy your physical uniqueness as long as it is not apparent to others. Some people, normal at first glance, have double-jointed thumbs and will kill you in a thumb wrestling contest. Not sure what your particular physical oddities provide as a benefit, perhaps performing in a sequel to deep throat is in your future?
11) And will you keep the painful ones around just to look at and loathe and never wear? What shall happen to them?
12) I don't watch tv that often but I'm guessing this show stimulates emotions in you of the good kind?
13) You want to eat others food, fall asleep first, and repaint your room's light purple. This is why psychiatric wards should be on the ground floor. No Forrestal defenestrations for you.
14) You keep track of everything, I don't know how you explain being in love 2.5 times, probably marginally harder than if you were to say you had had sex 2.5 times.
15) Since newel is takes it derivation from nut, perhaps it would be more amusing to rename this piece a nutter?
im glad you started wearing pants. tell your mom i said thanks for shopping for them with you. the guys are all sad tho.
