The way your mind works

Tweet

I bet most of us have noticed that our minds can be odd places, filled with strange connections, and tidbits of the most useless collection of random memories, facts, smells, and tastes. Oh, I know, some of that stuff has a point. But do I really need to remember where I finally learned how to spell the word "left". I do not, but boy do I remember. Why? I have no idea why that stuck in my head. I'd be ok with just knowing how to spell it! Anyways, if you don't believe me, try this. Think of the word pickle. Did your mouth water? Can you hear the crunch of biting into one? Many people's mouths water when they think of a crunchy pickle. I love the ones that come on sticks at fairs and stuff. Or what about cookies? Can you smell them now in the oven. And...now I am craving one! What about you? What associations can you find in your brain? Or at least one's associated with pickles? Bwahaha! I don't know about you, but my mind is like a random assortment of things, tied together with this weird spider web of attachments. I think pickle, my mouth waters, which makes me think of eating said pickles at a fair, which reminds me of the last renaissance fair I went with, with J, where I ate a pickle. This reminds me of how much I loved going to faires....and PARTICIPATING in them as staff.... and the friends I used to do that with...and now I am sad. Please brain, don't make me associate pickles with sad!!!!
