Hmm. Spent some time psychoanalyzing tonight, both dreams and how brains work. First of all I am fascinated with dreams, because I am fascinated with alternate worlds, and my dreams are so vibrantly other worlds. I try to collect them in the hopes one will inspire something I can publish, who knows. (That's one thing I want to do before I die, is write a book. Preferrably fiction. But that's not nearly as high on the list as having a library. Anyway, derail.) So, I'll probably come back to discuss it with you all later, or at least I'd love to. =) In the mean time you can read this: http://www.neilgaiman.com/journal/2007/05/nature-of-infection.html
What else now? Oh, thinking about me keeping things. For the sake of history, especially were someone to do a total biographical analysis of my life, I would love to save most everything. School papers and super detailed journal entries and whatnot, but I guess that's not how life goes. So I just try to keep the super-important things... only thing is I realized I have three boxes full of "hard copy" memories from high school. Meaning things I keep around to trigger certain memories. People tell me I have an amazing mind for abstract details. I would like to think they're right, as I've heard it forever, but I don't know if it's just that I keep the weird things and come across them so often enough to be able to recall them. But, I would really like to sit down one summer as a project and record all the associated thoughts, for history's sake.
Also, I wonder what denials, if any, I'll still have on my deathbed. =)
I promise I'm not trying to be morbid (I'm kind of insensitive to that), I'm just trying to go back that psychoanalyst part of me.
Off to dreamland now...
