'After a Certain Number of Years, Our Faces Become Our Biographies." -Cynthia Ozick
#9: 'Often interrupts chores not taking them till the end. An ADD rarely reads an entire article in a magazine, or listens to an entire cd.'
That's right, I never read an article in a magazine word for word. Or I might the first half and then skim read (or not even that) the rest of it. On the other hand however, I'll listen to a cd over and over again. I'll stick it in the cd player, push repeat, and listen to it all night long. Unless my main objective is listen to music, usually the act of 'listening to music' is set to the back, and I don't really pay attention to what's being played, which is why I can listen to a cd fifteen hundred times. But that's when I'm concentrated on whatever it is that I have to do, otherwise the music serves me as an escape valve and I actually need it to be in a continuous changing pattern so that I can release that 'tension' that surrounds me. Or so I was told.
This was it for the attention instability group. 9 out of 9.
I have to do my laundry and the weather isn't coping. Stupid dryer had to brake. Now I'm stuck having to wear weird-never-worn-unless-in-emergency-situation clothes.
I need a sweater, I'm kinda cold.
I just had lunch... a little desert would do me some good. I'll go look for that.
