im not sure... the closest thing it resembles would be shifting a back-handed weapon to a normal hold... except, unless it was double edged or blunt it wouldnt make sense... and since knives are usually my mental weapon of choice, it doesnt make sense :/shophius said:
especially considering most of them are backhanded anyway!!! why would i be switching out of it... makesnosenseweirdmentalproblems!!! >:/
In my psych classes we always went through how thought processes don't have to be in any language at all, but could be images or something otherwise representative. No need to obsess about itPurpleRain said:
As for me? I'm a worrier, often to the point of absurdity. Usually I fret over things I've done that weren't the best choice, such as answering a question in a certain way. Much like George from Seinfeld, I tend to think of good replies long after-the-fact, but not without lots of nigh-obsessive thinking. Also I'm pretty stupid when it comes to social things: for example, when a male coworker I like complimented my hair I spent days trying to figure if it meant something. Furthermore I decided not to cut my hair again after all.
In short I'm a loser.

I merely rationlized it that everything is all shades of gray, there is no white, there is no black.
On subject:
How could people develop Psionic powers.
whats the chances i could be picked off by some sniper at any moment? when i start thinking about that i get antsy because you could be doing just about anything you could think of and BLAM! its all over because some psycho learned how to use a rifle with a scope.
its the fact that you would most likely never see it coming.

It's normally a toss up between Women, or a certain one. I'm horrible at taking a hint from a girl and it has plagued me for some time.
and it has plagued me for some time.
I have been obsessed with thinking and re-thinking my novel. Writers block is evil, but writers brick wall is just insane.
i could say my girlfriend, but she shays she is exactly the same so it should be all good, i also have far too many visions of myself at war, i think thats from far too many video games!!!

Most of my mental activity is devoted to specific and boring areas. But I do have a few common things that I'm fascinated by.
One of these is what do people actually do when they confront a situation that does not have a pre-programmed response. When someone says "Hi, how are you" we have a response that comes without thought such as "Fine, and you?". It's interesting to think about (and later test) what people do when handed a somewhat more surreal encounter.
I often consider, as a passing fancy, crimes of all sorts. When standing in a bank I amuse myself by planning my getaway in case I rob the place. When I walk past someone leaning against a balcony I consider for just a moment pushing them off.
I regularly ponder politics (of all sorts, not just the set that happens in Washington), belief's, social trends and philosophy.
The more math I take the more I find myself fascinated in passing by simple concepts therein. As an example I once thought it was odd that the only square that can be divided by half to get it's root is four. Then I went on to go through the perfect integer squares and realized you could divide them all by their root to get the root. For a split second I thought I had something genius and then I remembered - "Oh yea, that's how squares work!".
I often consider the themes and ideas in works of fiction of all sorts. Stories can come and go but what I find most interesting is the characters themselves and what makes them tick. This is why I regularly dislike comic books - because the characters motivations are ofen just as far fetched as their abilities. Most recently, I've been considering the Watchmen (both book and movie I suppose at this point). I find it interesting that once you move beyond the most obvious bits about the characters (and how they are essentially somewhat realistic takes on famous super heroes) you find that each character embodies a particular response to crisis. Kovacks sits entrenched in his beliefs and is unwilling to compromise on any point of morality and is destroyed. Viedt confronts the problem without regard to the cost. Manhattan views the problem as impassionately as god and so forth. I think this is perhaps where the real genius of the work is and I find it somewhat shocking to see that Blake's own approach is strikingly similar to my own if carried to their illogical extreme.
There is of course more than that but I seem to spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about the above topics.
