Thursday Thoughts

Thoughts lately...

1) Anytime the internet challenges me to prove I'm not a robot it causes some anxiety. I don't think I am, but what if that's how I find out?

2) I'm pretty sure my center of balance is located somewhere in my bra.

3) The muscles in my eye have been jumping a lot lately. It makes me wonder if I'm shorting out.

Thoughts lately...

1) I'm in a longterm relationship, but not married so I don't wear a ring. This causes some confusion for males when they try to make an approach. I have to wonder how much more confusing it would be for them if I didn't have a ring finger at all. I can make up a wood chipper story and leave it at that.

2) People are funny about statistics. When there's a very low probability for a positive thing to happen, they like to point out that it does in fact, happen. When it's a very low probability for a negative thing, they discount it out of hand.

Example: "People win the lottery. It happens."

Example: "Sometimes people get bit by sharks and hit by lightning at the same time, but it's just not going to happen to me."

3) If I suddenly see something moving in my peripheral I may attack. Just be aware, and don't take it personally.

Thursday Thoughts

This week I have just the one thought for you, because it's really in there.

1) I dreamt last night that I had accidentally jammed Q-tips into my ears - like all the way into my ears - and needed help getting them out.

The only person I could find was my cousin, who wanted to tell me about an Incan version of the Odyssey he was writing, for which he had created his own alphabet.

And because of the extreme respect I have for creativity, I let him finish telling me about his project before asking for help getting the bloodied Q-tips that had punctured my eardrums out of my ear canals.

This is what happens when writers dream.
