Wow. That's pretty amazing, Coby. I had a thing like that happen once. But I came down the next day. Well, that sort of mechanical configuration? Bubbles with idea-delivering newscasters? Reminds me of the kinds of things people invent to define the structure of ADD. It is completely different, what you describe, though. Seems very odd. You could be very odd. With ADD, you take the same 300 bubbles per second of newscasters? But they all just come on, one at a time, for 1/300th of a second, with a bit of their story. Then they may or may not come back in the next second for another part of it. This is pretty literal. And you're supposed to make sense of it. But you actually have a normal mind in the make-sense-of-it logic-comprehension half, and it is way confused. If you pick, attempt to pick, any newscaster, you will maybe see him a second later with 300 different bubbles. It's annoying. Really fucking annoying. And you can, therefore, too, never remember what you are doing. I get so frustrated, without my spouse, trying to remember what's happening, that I get enraged. Like, I once got fired from a job, because I left the whole operation unlocked. I woulda fired me too. And the first time somebody says, "You need to focus," I'm going to break my fingers on their face. Don't gimme that. I leave shit everywhere, important stuff; I get somewhere and can't remeber what I'm doing there at all. People think ADDers like being this way. Like, "I have ADD. Suck eggs." Maybe some of them do. I think others, it renders them practically non-functional, and they get really pissed by that. They can see damn well what effect it's having on their abilities. And their inconvenience to others. Okay. I like to bitch about that every once in a while. Because it pisses me off, basically; every day, every few minutes. It might also be fetal alcohol sydrome, whirled in there. I was quite a boozer in utero. ~~~~~~~~~~ [wasn't that fun?]
