Let's just all have a cheer for this lovely weather we've been having. Yesterday was the first day of summer, and when I was in Rock Hill in the afternoon the bank sign read 109 degrees. I don't care if that's the heat index, it's just dumb. Plus I'm driving a car with no A/C right now while mine is being repaired from the hail assaults of the past few weeks. Gah. Makes me look forward to getting to the beach, and I don't care which one. Charleston a couple of times this summer, Florida for a few days (down from two weeks, curse you scheduling!), etc. Time to move back to the beach, I'm thinking.
Ah well, no matter for the moment. One unusual thing that has come up in the past week or so is some enlightening research a friend has come upon. Neurological research, something I probably wouldn't have ever though to look into on its own merits, that explains all the little quirks and points in my life that didn't seem to fit quite right. Parts of my personality that most people can't wrap their head around. Even more so when you look back to my childhood, all the way through my high school years. Hard to believe how much things make sense now.
It explains even the things that I thought couldn't be, ranging from how I feel about people in general, to how I feel things as a person, even how I deal with relationships (and why my actions and personality seem to change so much when things are going wrong, no less!) The answers to why I'm so passionate about certain topics, my school performance, and my (mostly former) tendency to start things and not finish them, it's all there. It's rather remarkable. It elicits a lot of curiosities and what-ifs. Makes me even, in a way, wish I could explain it to former friends and lovers that I've lost. Might make sense of some things, if not a difference. I know I, for one, like to have an explanation for the things that happen. But, then again, that's the way I am... quite literally.
I will not name names on which friend discovered all of this, partially because they found it out because they share these same traits and I don't want to reveal such things about them without their okay, no matter how enlightening . The shared traits, or condition, if you prefer, are likely one reason we started out as such good friends and have maintained that to this day. Suffice to say, it's a big enough thing that I'm going to have to find a good way to talk to my closest friends about, and likely women I'm involved with in the future, assuming I both putting up with that again, lol. If nothing else, knowing what I know now provides a window into my own psyche, and a chance to do some things differently, perhaps.
Moving on my from excitement about that, let's see what else is going on... not too much at any given time. New wines every week, though nothing that has really excited me for a while. My diet is going well, I just wish it would go faster, but hey, isn't everyone that way? It's a bitch on the wardrobe, though. Nothing fits right, and no point in buying new stuff until the diet is finished.
Dang it, research for class calls my name. I'll have to write more as soon as I can think of it. All my best, loyal R&C! Stay in the A/C!
PS- Hurry and get here, July... that's when all the good stuff is going on, it now seems!
