By the age of 4, i had been exposed to at least 3 different languages. Four if you count math as a language.

I am beginning to understand the fact that the entire damn world is fucked in the head somehow. If we all accepted and embraced it or healed it rather than fighting for superiority of neuroses, things might work a little better. just sayin.

What would the world population be if we had had 20th century medical knowledge as of the 19th century? What would society look like?

What makes you nervous?
Nervous as in “i have butterflies in my stomach and an elevated heart rate” type of thing? Just about anything i care about the outcome of. Being on stage, giving a presentation, having an important and directed conversation with someone, taking an exam, getting pulled over for speeding. Ya know, normal stuff.
Nervous as in “i have crippling anxiety and can’t move, much less function” type of thing? Not much of anything as of late (knock on wood). this was not always the case, though.

I love words, and etymology fascinates me.
I’ve written before something to the effect that I don’t really have words that I dislike, but that’s a lie. I realized this today.
There are words i don’t like. There are words i try not to say. There are actually words that I hate, though not necessarily for the word itself but how modern society uses it. There are also words that i aggressively dislike how certain people mispronounce them, which has nothing at all to do with disliking the word, just tossing in a random fact.
Anyway, words I dislike. (I leave it to you to figure out the categories!):
sorry
should
protein
worcestershire
great
albuquerqe
administrator
dysfuncitonal
buoy
and as an added bonus, some words i love:
duodenum
permanganate
candor
fabulous
indeed
rockin
phosphatidyl choline
enigma
absolutely
and that is all for today’s episode of “Random Bullshit from Laura’s Mind”. Thanks for tuning in!

I have always had issues with the word ‘sorry’, aside from the fact that I kinda just don’t like the word. It feels empty compared to what it supposedly represents….

The human body – or any mammalian body, really- has an amazing filtration system.

I am craving cheesy soft pretzels. Ooh! A Pretzel Time pretzel would be perfect!! That place is probably long gone though…

Describe a random encounter with a stranger that stuck out positively to you.
Not really though.
I was having a hard day, physically speaking, but I had to get dog food and bird seed. I went to the store, and walked out to the car with my stuff on one of those lay down cart things for bulky stuff. As i’m walking to the handicapped parking, there are cars and trucks and stuff moving around going about their days. normal thing.
This one truck stops as I’m opening the trunk and i hear, ‘wait, wait, let me get that!’ I turn, and this dude was running over to me, his truck parked right where he was driving. ‘Here, let me get that for you!’
he then proceeded to load the heavy oversized bags into my trunk. I was astounded by this random act of kindness, especially since it was exactly what i needed at that moment and wouldn’t ask for on my own.

A map of neural connections has to be as unique as a fingerprint. The brain in your head is literally a one-of-a-kind limited edition.

I wonder how that neural map would compare to a map of the universe….
