Discovering friendship
Steve Pavlina revisited his idea about ordering things from the universe.
A few years ago when he talk about this subject it felt a bit out there, so I didn’t take it very serious. But this time he said something that actually meant something to me.
“What would happen is you order a meal at a restaurant [...] -

Burning circuits
For years every time I felt home sick I would imagine myself roaming the halls of my old boarding school. While I walked through those halls I could remember them very clearly. Three dimensional and in color.
I always assumed that I had such a clear memory of the place because it made a big impression [...] -

Finding the limit of my thoughts
07.05.09 | Permalink | 4 CommentsThinking about my thinking process.
Processing abstract information
Finding the limit of my thoughtsSo I had figured out that I talk to myself to solve abstract problems. I figured that since the behavior has a purpose there should be a natural border. Some place to stop talking.
BTW When I say I’m talking to myself that’s not completely [...] -

Processing abstract information
Finding the limit of my thoughtsIn my last post I wrote that I expected that post would be a little further apart in future. This one is taking even more time then I had expected.
On the up side I have figured out that my very annoying habit of talking [...] -

Do you ever have the feeling that you wish you had paid better attention in school? I have that feeling regularly.
In the drawing course I did early last year I was advised to practice hashing and cross hashing but since I thought I wouldn’t need [...] -

Getting things done
Discovering that a curse can turn into a blessing.
Dancing a little to get passed the feeling of restlessness helps me a lot with the drawing I started yesterday.
I’m now recognizing that I always felt afraid of …. something every time I tried to start with something. But now I know what caused the fear.
The feeling [...] -

Not feeling warmth
I’m experiencing some problems thanks to our revolutionary new heating system.
A few weeks ago when I drew a perspective of my green chair I was planning to do an other one without the pillows. I didn’t because my day job took so much out of me that I was just to tired. But now I’ve [...] -

Something came up
Discovering that I can deviate from a habit without being at a turning point in my life.
I might as well give up. My life is a failure.
I used to sport every Monday and Friday. But now it’s gone.
Last week I was thinking about going to the sauna. I didn’t but by the time I decided [...] -

Shortcuts: Thinking and drawing in shorthand (Drawing: Symbol drawings)
12.04.07 | Permalink | 2 CommentsI’m finally getting some ideas about the difference in thinking processes between autistics and non-autistics.
Some 20 years ago I read somewhere that people who are autistic can’t think in symbols. I didn’t know that I was autistic myself and I didn’t understand what they meant. Don’t autistics understand symbols like the dollar ($) sign and [...]
