1. a/s/l?
2. What's with all the monikers?
3. You once told me you don't think logically. Elaborate on that. Is it deliberate? What is logic to you? etc..
4. When did you first "fall in love in with music", like you would listen non-stop and go out of your way to find jams that speak your soul? What was the song/artist? Who was involved, if anyone (friends, relatives, pets...)?
5. Is there a mutual quality you find that is shared among your best friends? What is it? Describe your archetypal friend.
6. What/where was your refuge as a confused and alienated adolescent? And now?

2. Used to use the internet and make friends only with who I really wanted to talk to. Now everyone and their anally bleeding monkey is online. I heave more names to match the different trajectories these new groups introduce, thrust into the game of Shot-Put.
3. Logic to me has a few definitions.
Logic - n. 0. etymology - logos (greek) 'word, reason' 1. the quality of being justifiable by reason, 2. the course of action or line of reasoning suggested or made necessary, 3. a system or set of principles underlying the arrangements of elements so as to perform a specified task.
I think that logic is based on language. I think that semantic (meaning) can be assigned to any word. They are just symbols or placeholders for what you experience, ways to explain it. There's an old bun story from post modern literature gossip that a book written requires a whole dictionary to define the terms within it. And then that that dictionary also requires a dictionary to explain the explanations of the definitions of the words. The idea I have is that no one will ever understand as closely as I'd like what I'm really saying unless I change the way I speak.
So I often decide on my own the primary/secondary meaning of words. These are not always accepted commonly, so they appear illogical. In recent times I have considered this the same as poetry. Lewis Carroll is a top 5 favorite historical figure of ours (all my personas, lol).
I think I think I think hyper-hypo-logically. There is accepted heuristic logic and common sense. But I don't really like it much. "It's a bitch to remember and it goes against my nature," I used to think. At this point I'm kind of left out in the trash-island in the Pacific Ocean. My old boat is a broken boat. And I got here by using my own logic. Logic is embedded in the language! But now I'm learning symbolic logic, so maybe building a new boat to get back to the mainland. Or am I riding in it already, scooping up trash as I go?
4. When a song struck me in my current situation, that's what got me to love it. Or when I could control my mood with it. Or release energy. Catharsis is very desirable, especially deep catharsis about issues that bug you deep down. Maybe some folks never got this catharsis and so they developed a shell instead of a huge library of music? or got more friends...or play guitar, i don't know!
6. Books. Quiet secluded spaces and times. Online friends. A few friends. Books of Science Fiction and Fantasy and Pun Worlds.
The internet: newgrounds, neopets, timesplitters 2 forums, natick highschool forum, livejournal, AIM...making my own websites, best friend walter woodington, soccer. I had a lot of refuge.
