Blaze & Daze

[Laughing Grass]

Almost ashamed to admit this, but I'm mematically challenged. I seem to be far too literal-minded to ever quite get them.

I've never had coke.

Do you have aphantasia?

No idea. Last doctor that saw me put me on Prozac, Remeron and Xanax, but that was over 20 years ago. An almost complete lack of any kind of active imagination is something I've always noticed about myself, though.

So you want a white Christmas?

You know I like to show snow who's boss!

 

[Fangthane]

God, I don't know. But I loved that show and had totally forgotten about it!

It's the first thing that popped into my head when I saw that. I think that was where I saw it.

I've never had coke.

Been a good decade + since I have. Not something I'd recommend as a regular thing, but was fun as a once a year kinda deal.

I really don't understand what something like that is trying to convey in any specific way. I've gotta have some other mental things going on.

When you picture an apple in your head do you see an image? Color? A background? Get any smell memories?

I have a very overactive imagination personally, lol. And weed makes it go WHEEEEEEEE~~~~

It's an image intended, in this instance, to portray the frenzied mind of a cocaine sniffer in a comical fashion. So it's a response to you using a visual metaphor instead of words.

What is your favorite book?

I don't think I really do see an image. I know what an apple is and some abstract thought of one takes shape, but I don't think I really "see" it. Probably not describing that well AT ALL. I don't seem to naturally think in straight lines and have never been very adept at describing ideas.

 

[Fangthane]

What is your favorite book?

I don't think I have a favorite single book. I'd say my favorite series of books are The Thomas Covenant Chronicles, LOTR, Game of Thrones. All fantasy. I can't seem to even begin to enjoy reading any non-fiction.

 

[Fangthane]

I do get that memes are simply a way to kinda tell a story with pics. It's just that they're always obscure to me and only the most obvious ones seem to even sink in.

Ever read or listen to Eragon?

In your defense, a lot of memes refer to a very specific pop culture happening or even another meme and that is often lost on a lot of people if they don't know where it originated. For those of us in circles of absolute degenerates that share all the memes including the darkest shit, we just kinda learn them. There are definitely ones that I don't still get.

Nothing wrong with fantasy! Here's my Tolkien from the early 70s. Do you think it looks like I read them once or twice??

Dude eragon was one of my favorites in high school. Do you like Brandon Sanderson? It's aimed at a slightly older audience. But mistborn and the stormlight archive are amazing series that have a great fantasy feel.

 

[laddyd]

You guys are moving too fast for me. It's not even 8 am here. I will sit here quietly and watch cartoons with the grandson and drink coffee until written words start to make sense.

 

[Fangthane]

Ever read or listen to Eragon?

Yes, been ages. Isn't that actually a series of books? Can't remember exactly. Thinking I'd read them at all at some point.

No idea. I listened to the Eragon series last year and thoroughly enjoyed them. I just listened to Fourth Wing and I'm currently listening to Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros. They are kinda like Harry Potter x Eragon x Hunger Games.

The books I'd mentioned, I've read numerous times. I don't seem to come across new shit I like very often, so I'd revisit my faves pretty often.
