i dream of bombast
October 7, 2009
You see, there used to be a day when my mind would go into downtime, and it would be filled with meaningless conversations with myself.
"Hey, look, if I shake the table, the books move." "Oh?" "Yeah, look!" "Cooooooooool." "Yeaaaaaaaaah." "My desk is a mess." "I know."
Or if I were (un)fortunate enough, I'd have some fabulous song stuck in my head! Like "A Whole New World," maybe. Yes. I seem to have that on permanent repeat in my head.
I don't know why either.
Oh, but not anymore! Gone are those days! I realized a few days ago that as soon as I mentally log off now, certain words start creeping into my head.
Words like "protean".
And "obfuscate".
And "aberrant".
And I can't help but define them. Over and over. And over. In my head.
You see, there's this thing called the Tetris effect. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you:
The SAT effect
/cry. Someone kill me now.
Also, it was probably a bad idea to discover the awesome that is The Big Bang Theory four days before the SAT.
I will resist the temptation. Really.
Really really.

:O So that's what the effect is called! ... I've dreamed about go before. Last year. Weird how I'm not that obsessed anymore o.0 Good or bad?...
Don't worry, you're not that insane. You've just got awesome focusing skills. Or as Mr. Breazeale would term it, "crystal, laser-like focus" -- you've just started burning with yours lol

Omigod, haha. I can totally imagine you...dreaming...about go.
Okay. :( I did not intend for the previous sentence to be that awkward.
(Also, Meredith: you'd better be applying for Phoenix. /points finger.)

Who doesn't get random words/phrases stuck in their head, which they then mentally repeat to themselves over and over again?
Weirdos, that's who.
