i have a penchant for lists

THINGS I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT

I've been popping the various joints in my limbs with alarming frequency for the past few weeks.

I think it's weird that the people who affect you have no idea that they've affected you, even if you tell them, because no one will ever be able to access the inside of your mind.

I'm glad that I've learned how to tell people they've affected me.

My roommate showed me a song that claimed that no one is ever alone and that it's sad that there is no way to escape that honestly. I don't believe that.

The danger of having access to the multitude of social media sites is that a desire to overshare is cultivated in too many formats.

I was told recently that you run on the sleep you got two nights ago. I don't know if this is true, or how one could prove it, but I did feel allnighter-jittery two nights after sleeping for a grotesquely small amount of time.

I'm fascinated with"real" vs. "pretend." I think that I overuse these ideas.

It took me all of two seconds to choose a goal profession, after an eternity a few years of having only a vague idea. Linguistics explains life. (There is just about one infix in the whole English language.)

It's interesting that reading poetry reminded me of how much I like to read poetry.

A perfect beauty of a sunflower! a perfect excellent
          lovely sunflower existence! a sweet natural eye
          to the new hip moon, woke up alive and excited
          grasping in the sunset shadow sunrise golden
          monthly breeze!
---Allen Ginsberg, Sunflower Sutra

In my writing, I know more about how I'm feeling than I feel when I'm feeling. It is bizarre to re-read my own intentional random scribbles and realize the truth of the above statement.

Is it terrible that I gravitate towards contradictory emotions as a constant state of being?

I contain multitudes.
