honestly, how does this thread keep you entertained? can we let it go away again?

crabapple 04-12-2007 11:08 AM

Logically, why would anyone post in it, unless it entertained? of course it entertains.

The Mothman 04-12-2007 11:12 AM

it's sole purpose is to up your post count.

crabapple 04-12-2007 11:16 AM

Oh, maybe for SOME people, who NEED a post count to feel good about themselves, maybe. Mayyyyyyybe. For sooome people. Who is there like that here? If you answer this question you'll start a fight! You don't want to do that, do you?

Y'see, YOUR reason for coming in here and criticizing the thread, calling the participants post whores or whatever some such, ruining everyone's fun momentarily and I MIGHT ADD disrupting the thread, disrupting the STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS as it were.............................................. ........................the reason you are doing this is simply that you don't understand WHY the thread is entertaining to some people! No one is forcing you to like it. No one is insisting that you even understand the thread. I'm not saying there aren't any post whores in this town. But I post here because I LIKE the stream of consciousness thread.

I think it's interesting to see how other people's minds work...

The first thing that pops into your head when given a word or phrase says a lot about what kind of person you are, which is what Rorschack, and many other psychological tests are based on...

Personally, I am VERY interested in human psychology (as well as physiology ;)), so I find it very interesting


Take the color red...There are 3 common responses for this

1) Blue (or other colors) - Another color...This would be an organized person who 'categorizes' things, and so they would think of something similar

2) Apple (Car, or other objects) - This would be a very visual, physical person who names something tangible that the color could represent

3) Anger - This would be from a very emotional person, who can perceive colors as indicative of one's feelings

Now, if someone said 'Red October' or 'Rose Red'...These of course would be people who really appreciate their 'hobbies and interests', if that's the FIRST thing they think of...Like, a horror fan ;)

It's also interesting to see how one word, can take you to another and another that would seem completely unconnected...

And I love to try to guess how a person came up with a response sometimes, because there have been a few where you think 'How in the HELL did you come up with that?!' and it's pretty cool when you think about it and it clicks and you suddenly go "Ah...I see"...And sometimes the responses are based on personal experience...Such as: Blue - Blanket...Perhaps a favorite blanket you had when you were a kid...Those responses are usually unique to us, giving more insight into the individual

Often MY train of thought is very different than other people's, it's equally interesting for me to see who thinks the same way...Usually, only Dustin knows where I'm coming from...lol...But, some of you guys 'get it' too...And that's pretty cool :)

at least she explains it.

Yeah, like when someone said "Elvis followers," the first thing I saw was an image of possums, like when you see the mama possum walking across the street followed by her three or four little baby possums. (You've seen it--they do that everywhere.) Then I typed "Possum Procession" and then someone else took it from there. It's stimulating to the brain reflexes!
