so I found this in a link from one of these tests on the internet scoring me as an INTP. Whatever that is, I've found it's like a way of saying 'me'. I signed up because after reading and stuff in threads it seems this is a special place for people who are that little extra kind of better. better quality *
I'll introduce myself because I see a couple other people do it and stuff.
So what I do with my days is, I live with my grandparents because one of them is (within almost all certainty) terminally ill with some variety of stomache related cancer, the other isnt really within their capability to run the house and take care. So... it's some months before winter and this is the news buzzing over the airwaves within my family and I'm laid off ( good, I wasn't looking foreward to spending the rest of my life working without interruption) and so now I'm here, a kind of a butler.
I don't know many people and I don't mind,
I sleep on a usually 25-40 hour day, and the people I am ever in contact with all think im crazy, but I do not mind whatever hours I spend awake or asleep except if it is anything but 2:1 wake-sleep.
when I am awake I am usually playing halo3, gta4, or skate on my xbox, wikipedia after midnight, shooting my cO2 pistol in the backyard at pop bottles ( usually just around after the sun rises )
or doing odd chores that contribute to "running the house".
My social circle is
My grandparents,
My father,
2-3 friends from highschool,
in other places I have maybe 5 people on msn that I actually care about and talk to.
almost everyone except for my INTP friend seems to think I'm crazy to sleep the way I do, and be totally comfortable with not going out with friends more than 5 times a month.
They are crazy.
I always come up with "Why_" questions in my head, some have answers some don't. I would say I can come up with logical questions for half my "Why" 's, and I can come up with questions for about half my answers.

I recently read in the book "Survivor" by Chuck Palihnuik, when the protagonist becomes famous he begins solving various 'problems' with himself by taking medications and the like, with side effects, and then taking things to combat those, and so on and so forth untill he says that went untill you couldn't really remember what the original problem was.
and so that, coupled with why I wonder it's "naturally" (more leik nurturally) embarrassing to be naked in public,
as well as remembering when Donnie asked Frank "Why are you wearing that silly bunny suit?" and Frank asked in reply "Why are you wearing that silly man suit?"
prompted me to think: perhaps we wear clothes in public - even when it would be more comfortable to be naked instead( Summer - in hotter places ) - to cover our bodies, and perhaps we are embarrassed of our bodies because we are embarrassed of ourselves, and we are embarrassed of ourselves because of that funny guy "Ego"
wonder why
=p

fanks.
I am reading around.
I like.
Is there caturday here?
I guess no, but who would I have to convince that a sticky thread for posting cats on caturday is a good idea?

Hi and welcome to the forum. May you find interesting and enlightening discussions. ;)

Well, my sleep times are a bit crazy atm as well. Totally variable, since i have no schedule besides a few classes at uni (like ten hours a week tops). Most of the times i do find sleep aa nice thing but still wish we wouldn't need to sleep at all...

Ogion

Regarding Caturday: Just open a dedicated Thread and we'll see if it is apt for sticky ;)

Blood or a meaty severed limb.

Severed limbs you have to chew. I'm lazy.

Start a caturday thread (Decaf will be pleased) in Fun, or, well, just about anywhere I suppose as there is really no order. I don't mean that. I mean there is order here. Entropy is order isn't it? Right?

No?

*sigh*

OK. I'll try again. Welcome to Chaos! There is order in chaos. Our minds are just too small to perceive it.

Oh geez I just read your intro... our crazy factor just leapt again didn't it?

well if everything is patterns...
if the universe and how it goes is analogus to a computer program, and god is 0, and 1
well then chaos is just anything we cant understand right, but theres sense to it on some level

So something-someone(?) prompts you to think. Well, welcome home! many of us suffer from this same affliction.

Actually the social convention of wearing clothes can be seen as a modern version of the Fig Leaf. The Initial awareness of Self, initiated a feeling of inadequacy, nakedness and vulnerability, before that we just believed we were what we perceived... That POV was a relative Paradise...

It's interesting you refer to the thinking as an 'affliction', blob,
because it happens my friend and I have identified it and named it exactly the same, long before the internet gave it a name "INTP" for me.

It's funny really, how I can just think and think and think, and actually seem to get somewhere, yet usually where I get is the same place, and where that is, is minutes/hours into the future, and a little more interesting to a small ring of people. Aside from that, my 'affliction' afflicts me everywhere I go, and all the time, it interferes with things that I'm told are 'normal' such as partying, and therefore made me feel abnormal for quite a while, untill it dawned on me - the people who enjoy those things aren't like me, THEY are weird, THEY are totally oblivious, THEY are the one's who can actually look like they are having a blast by getting impaired and doing embarrassing things, such as dancing and being overloquacious, yet they all seem to do it, they all seem to agree its 'cool' AND they must ACTUALLY have fun with it too, enough to do it weekend after weekend... so sure, call me a weirdo/creep/loner... I doubt any of their 'hardware' could support my 'software' = INPT>everyone else

Actually, I can't take credit for that analogy, some famous philosopher (Whose name, of course i can' recall) started a treatise with the premise that "Thought is a Disease" It was a rather convincing statement.
There is also the biological analogy that Growth is a product of Irritation presented by another philosopher which kinda feeds into the Hegelian dialectic/synthesis thing

Here's a nasty, tho. All those wonderful thoughts you have.. Are merely figments of your imagination, until you write them down and make them real and who knows they could be real for 10,000 years thereafter and an archeologist of the future might discover your Words and build an entire Society of Dr Diarrheas..

BTW most people are mere Primates, with Primat - ive behavior and thoughts

Hmmm... well thank you for giving me the opportunity to sit and think about how dumb a world built after the wisdom of my excellent and hilarious screen name... not so much gave the opportunity but more prompted me... and after thinking about it, it would be quite hilarious, and if I have the power to influence people of 10 000 years from now, I want to tell them my favourite activity is fuckin around with physics - so DO IT! ( << See picture )

HAHAHA!
"evil shit" most definatley =p

I use it for everything... I don't know what the draw is... I name my skateboards (raceboards) "Dr SLudge" (case sensitive)

I dont name myself "Dr Diarrhea" it's the name of my accounts.
I like the name because I never attatch images to it. some people say sick and whatnot,
to me, its hilarious, memorable. i get comments almost every game I join on halo3
