Over Thinking

I just don't think I'll ever understand the hopeful scientist who encouraged me to think less


Everything Has It's Place!!

*My Pencil Sharpener*


I keep my metal artist quality manual pencil sharpener separate from my pencils. (maybe, since this topic will be obscure as is, there should be some background.)


Background Information:


(I went to sharpen my pencil for Algebra II, and, due to the storm last night, that knocked out the school's power, the electric sharpener did not sharpen anything. No, in fact; it sat there plugged into the outlet, and taunted me. As a solution I pulled out my handy dandy manual sharpener, from my junk bag, (originally used as a clinique makeup bag), in my giant purse. As I retrieve the sharpener, i realize that is would be more time efficient to not have it in a separate location from my pencils.)


I sat and pondered a moment as to why it was that I kept it in my junk bag, and my brain pulls up a mental list. (it was fracking weird! it even looked oddly PDF-like) So below I'm going to attempt a recreation of my Brain generated file.



Why the pencil sharpener is in your Purse

Written and Edited by Your Brain


You love that sharpener.


You don’t want to lose that pencil sharpener.


You take your purse (w/ pencils) everywhere, and you only carry you pencil holder (inside your book bag) to school.


There’s a MUCH greater likelihood you’ll need a pencil sharpener when you’re outside of the educational environment. (I.e.: The Park, The Mall, That one Chick’s Bedroom, The Men’s Restroom, ect.)


High-Schoolers have little to no moral or ethical groundings, and would likely steal that sharpener. (w/ precious few exceptions)

Things that aren’t in a 50 foot radius of you, outside of your bedroom, have a 200% higher chance of being lost, or forgotten by you. (w/ a direct rate of increase dependent upon number and severity of hindrances such as lack of sleep, lack of food, lack of ADHD medication, excess of stress and/or excess of sadness)
Since you hold your purse closer to your physiognomy* which allows it to be much more easily seen then you backpack you have an even greater decrease in risk of loss.
Keeping your sharpener in your purse further prevents you from losing it simply due to the fact that you think “why do I keep my pencil sharpener here, in my purse?” every time you retrieve it to go to sharpen a/some pencil(s) with it. (the question is significant to your ability to keep the sharpener because it’s scientifically proven that if you question something you’re more likely to remember the a fore mentioned specimen of inquiry. [Questioning the Sharpener’s location = Remembering the Sharpener’s location.])

If you are sitting there after having read this whole post and you don't understand why I wrote it, or you don't see the irony then I'm not sure this is the blog for you. I do promise though that not all my posts will be quiet this random and nearly irrelivant.
