from the book i started earlier today:

"Many are convinced that mechanical time does not exist. When they pass the giant clock on the Kramgasse they do not see it; nor do they hear its chimes while sending packages on Postgasse or strolling between flowers in the Rosengarten. They wear watches on their wrists, but only as ornaments or as

i think everyone is a mixture of both. i definitely lean heavily in the second category. clocks and watches are integral parts of my life. i have owned the same guess watch for seven years now (whoah it has been that long), and i have a watch tan. i find myself looking at my watch, cell phone clock, or other clock quite often. i use my (flexible) alarm clock every single day including weekends, even though i don't necessarily follow it (i'm a huge snoozer). for example, today i set my alarm for 7:45, and then i snoozed and just plain ignored my alarm and didn't get up until past 9. i am a real stickler for being ontime and am usually early. i can get annoyed when other people aren't timely because i feel like they're wasting my time by making me wait and that i put in the effort to be ontime, so they should too. however, i hate being the first one there, so i will make myself go later, which sometimes causes me to be late (especially when i'm going to a place i've never been to before). i am a huge planner and scheduler, but i really wish that i could be more spontaneous. i have found myself looking at my watch at concerts before, but not to see when i will go home rather to see how much longer i get to enjoy the music. the last part of the second type is a bit extreme though. i have never considered thoughts to be just electrical impulses, etc.
