Wow.
I used to think sometimes that I was mildly ADD. My brother's been diagnosed, and I know that I often have trouble keeping focused on things. Then, one of my coworkers came over tonight, and Wes insisted that I show him a couple episodes of The Office that I downloaded.
Yeah. I kept having to explain who was who a thousand times. I'm not saying this to be mean to him or demean the problem. But it made me realize that I can be pretty focused. And that not being *able* to focus would be really difficult.
So, I've determined that I have SAAD. *Selective* Attention Deficit Disorder. That is, I can only concentrate (and obsess) about things that will make me appear much dorkier than I am.
And yes, it is very sad.
Look - a few of you have made some comments about me - being a dork, errr, a bit "obsessed" - and yes, I am. YES, I DID read Office fanfic. SO??
Hm. I think you know you've crossed the "interested" to "WHOA YOU'RE A GEEK" barrier when you start reading fanfic. That's the line, and I'm two miles past it. But how'd it happen so quickly? And why is some of it so good? Why do I care?
I. Don't. Know.
All I DO know is ----- after yesterday, I've gotten Wes interested in The Office so I'm NOT ALONE! HAHAHAHAHA. I win.
And .... that is all.
(PS: Oh, by the way -- if you're wondering what I mean by a "good" fanfic - well, this one was pretty freakin' good. HAWT. Um......... yeah. So .... yeah.)
