Mental process...

You make posting sound like it's some sort of disease.


Oh my. It's not contagious is it? OH SNAP! I just posted this... I'm infected too!


Quick, everybody run for the hills!

After seeing all the gifs... I think I'm afraid to answer!!! I'm thinking of a song... "That's what happens when a volcano meets a tornado..." -- Eminem.

I also don't want to give away any trademarked secrets. :rolleyes: I'd actually wanted to start a thread about this very topic but StillWaters beat me to it!! This is at least the second time he's posted a similar thread idea I had before I could get to it so I guess my new strategy is, try to be one step ahead of Stilly! :)

Doesn't everyone know the best way to write a thread is to post a bunch of subjects up on a dartboard and then casually throw at least 3 darts at the same time? Voila!! :)

My mind is running all the time, so ideas can come from anything--conversations, interactions, things I've read, a sermon... Much like Grace-Like-Rain's example, I usually form a makeshift outline and "diagram" my idea, though it usually comes out more like chicken scratch scrawls on the back of a napkin while on a break.

There are so many times I hear, see, or read something I wish I had someone to discuss it with (I spent Christmas day watching documentaries on the history of a particular prison gang) but for obvious reasons, I do try to stick with things people would (hopefully) want to talk about... which is why I throw in plenty of ridiculous-type threads as well.

Everyone likes a good escape now and then, including me.

Sometimes I feel like I have a point when I start off in my posts/threads and then I end up not knowing where they're going so I just keep rambling. It's reminds me of a Michael Scott quote:

"Don't ever, for any reason, do anything to anyone, for any reason, ever, no matter what. No matter...where. Or who, or who you are with, or where you are going, or...or where you've been...ever. For any reason whatsoever.

Sometimes I'll start a sentence, and I don't even know where it's going. I just hope I find it along the way."

I want to plant the seeds of God's truth in a world of lies. I want to be real about who I am, and at the same time discover how others see me, and how I need to change. I want to be able to talk to people who share my same interest, cause most worldly people do not like to talk about religion or politics. And I hope to be an encouragement to others.

I'm sensing the dawn of an entirely new branch of psychology just for the Digital Era.

Mainly... "Tell Me a Little About Yourself... And I Will Then Post a Series of Gifs as My Diagnosis."

Sigh. Even when broken down in a series of gifs... I guess I'm just a naturally boring person. Still, I'm so disappointed!! The gifts you picked for me are just so... Snooze-worthy. What are you trying to say??!!! :p At least try to make my mental condition look somewhat fun and/or interesting!! :D

I mean, C'mon, Stilly! ;) Liamson got cool, fun gifs like The Swedish Chef, Statler and Waldorf (who doesn't love The Muppets???!!) and all I got was... Scales and Line Dancing??!!! REALLY??? I don't seem anymore fun or lively than that???!! Wow. No wonder I never get asked out.

I declare a mistrial!!! (Or at least, a misdiagnosis.)

Those line dancers have invisible state of the art jet-backs.

That trumps muppets.

I am very articulative in my posts. I place a lot of emphasis on expressing my opinion but without offending anybody. In most cases, I read the OP and the following replies, form an opinion in my head, let it marinate for a few minutes and then lay it out in neat fashion. I check and re-check my posts in order to pick out any errors. Oftentimes I have edited my reply, in order to make it more coherent to the other readers.


Never mind all that big talk...
