I was going to write this lame post about college essay topics I read about on CNN, how some college students are actually being admitted to their dream school for their answer to the question “How do you feel about Wednesdays?” but I’ve decided not to do that.
When a bad thought comes into your mind how hard do you work to get it out of your head?
Have you ever considered letting it hang out in there, develop, flourish, bloom, expand and explore the depths of your creative mind, just to see where it takes you?
I do this. A lot.
I let myself process events that I have experienced, others that I only know about second hand, still others that I have no proof are even remotely close to reality, and ones that I know for certain with actual evidential facts aren’t the truth.
Why do I do this? Because it prepares me for when the shit hits the motherfucking fan.
No shit has hit any fans, people. I’m just… practicing for if/when it does. It’s what I do. Because I’m crazy. And I like me crazy. So… we stay crazy up in here.

I always try to shift negative thinking to the back of my mind, but there’s some luggage there that I’ve failed to remove so it bounces back to the front. When this happens, I mix some Lime Kool-Aid and browse Duran Duran fan web sites.

Seriously? I do it ALL the time. It’s one reason I am rarely surprised or shocked when something happens. I know what I am going to do to handle it, and it doesn’t freak me out.
However, my mind can get too dark, and there are some things I HAVE to stop thinking about. (Not like me murdering people or anything… shit – I sound all crazy now…)

I sometimes rehearse in my head what to say in the event of being falsely accused of severe criminal acts.
Probably not a good idea, come to think about it…

I like crazy people. I’m a little crazy myself. It’s even in my blog title. :)

I tend to get lost in my thoughts and think too much about things, so I feel what you’re saying.
Crazy is as crazy does….but that’s ok though!

Are you kidding me? Sometimes I make up whole scenarios in my head about the worst possible way I could imagine something so that when I do learn the truth, it’s less of a blow. Of course the sad part is that 75% of the time, I’m actually right about my worst predictions.
So what if I’m crazy too….at least now I know I am in good company. :)

*raises hand* All the time. I find that it’s only when I DON’T think about the bad that it actually happens.

I do that all the time! I think about what the worst case scenario is and how I would handle it and then when it doesn’t happen, either I’ve wasted all that time worrying or I am pleasantly surprised.

I prefer to use the word creative myself.

Clearly, you know that I can do that!!!!

I get rid of bad thoughts. I write it out of my head or yell it out or convince myself it was never there.

“How do you feel about Wednesdays?”
Maybe they’re trying to weed out the type of person made famous by the Boomtown Rats’ “I don’t like Mondays.”
Still, it’s a rather lame question.
