He said, "If you throw a rock..."
as he trailed off for a considerable amount of time I interjected, "then you must be sinless." under my breath.
there was a long silence throughout the whole classroom (okay, so not as quietly as I had thought. DRAM!) After the silence turned into chuckles my teacher asked, "You don't ever stop thinking do you?"
He continued with math without me answering.
It sucks how right, he doesn't know, he is. I am ALWAYS thinking. It's only fun a fourth of the time too.
Why Thinking ALL THE TIME sucks:
- It makes meditation impossible
- When I'm sad there's never enough to distract me from thinking about what's upsetting me, which in turn further depresses me
- when I walk out of a movie theater with my date I want to analyze the plot line and talk about symbolism and it's relation to the movie as a whole
(usually when i start to do that my date's eyes get big, and they look intimidated, or they'll say something like, "Kate, you know it's just a movie. Right?") - My jokes seem less funny, because they take the average person to long to understand
- I look like a smart ass* in class when I speak up to answer a question, and find out that everyone else knew way less about a given topic
- I second guess problems with simple solutions
(this applies to school and my life in general. Extra trivia- it's also the reason I wasn't very useful for the quiz bowl team) - I give very complicated advice, which; often renders it useless to the person whom I am advising
- I get side tracked when speaking
(this happens in a great number of ways, but the two most common are having to define a word I used, and then having to define the synonym, and sometimes supply even that definition with another one, and when I tell a story I feel the need to give background information as I go, and then I usually fail to complete the original story.)
