epicmegatrax. and ALL OF YOU will keep witnessing it

>>>is this a mixed metaphor

as i am contractually unable to acknowledge language exists,
and acknowledging metaphor would be tantamount to
acknowledging that language exists, i am afraid i cannot
answer your question

p. much ~ A) it makes me gleeful to construct language like
this B) the same part of me that, when working on music, is
like, "we need to sample this bit of dialogue from this
episode of the wire we last saw three years ago" would be
like that with case history and legal code. C) when i was a
child, four perhaps, i would find holes in the house rules
my parents set down and use them to essentially not follow
the rules, even though i was technically following the
rules, and i knew exactly. what. i. was. doing

yes, that was the one -- four years old. house rules are: no
food in the TV room. so i stand in the hallway, toes wedged
against the threshold of the TV room doorway, eating...
crisps, i think. and when the hammer dropped -- as i knew it
would -- i astutely pointed out that i was not in the TV
room, and thus, was not violating the rules.

the rules were shortly amended to "no food outside of the
kitchen." drat

i mean, this is where it's clear i was clearly just four. i
was so smug with myself for finding this hole in the rules
and confidently walked right up and did it without really
thinking about how it would play out after why, no,
technically, i am not breaking the rules... obviously, this
is not a democracy; mum and dad can change the rules at
their whim. that i was burning a perfectly good legal
vulnerability because i was full of myself. i got better at
it

90% sure i was watching reading rainbow with the "crisps are
not technically in the TV room incident"

like. stood in the hall and watched TV. i can still see it.
i'm not in there, though, so i can still eat crisps

i've heard this thing where people who have really good
memories also tend to be people who habitually go back and
catalogue things; and let's give it a go.

that, for reasons i can't quite put my finger on, i am
absolutely certain this happened before i got my Nintendo
Entertainment System, which i got when i was six, and
kindergarten was also six, and this just didn't feel in my
brain when this memory was written -- no, i hadn't been to
kindergarten yet. i can also dredge up that i'm 2/3 sure it
was summer. four. at max five. but not outside of that
range

i know accuracy matters here on zilty.

Points: 23949 Status: Addict



now i'm just off on a tangent, but... oh my gosh, this is so
incredibly weird: i've just noticed that pretty much all of
my early memories feel like summer. this does not mean they
necessarily all are, but a lot of the ones i can effectively
verify are. i mean, i have the christmas where i got
"my first sony" -- which i still actually have -- and this
is the line where i am sitting on the stairway and santa and
it dawns on me that santa is not real; i can hear my parents
prepping things in santa's name. i went back to bed and they
never knew

but yeah. i suspect i do have winter memories, i just can't
tag them with winter because i was indoors. but lawyering
crisps watching reading rainbow, yeah, that was summer, i
remember the smell and feel of the window AC unit in the TV
room. and plenty of memories just in the house that are
probably winter with no cue to tag it as such

sorry now i'm just deep up my bum. but not so sorry as to
not continue

is it really that out there to shift to the idea that memory
is not just an innate ability, but... a skill that can be
developed? a discipline that can be honed?

like, i am deeply arguing with myself now: i just have very
strong memories of that window AC unit and watching reading
rainbow... and while that crisp incident definitely
happened, am i just filling most of it in with the stonger
sensual memories of summer, in particular that AC tied to
reading rainbow strong in my brain

spending some time doing such archeology; might explain how
brain size -- physical mass of the grey matter -- doesn't
terribly seem to terribly correlate with how good one's
memory is

i've tried like three times but you're genuinely incoherent
over your last two posts. the general tone sounds like your
standard sneering takedown, but the words don't parse into
anything less than stop overdosing on ambien

what, where, when? on xlt? on watmm? i was researching quite
a few chemicals and will freely admit to sporadic bursts of
being a jerk in the early 2010's.

if i've spoken with him on here, i don't remember doing so
knowingly. which alias? panflet? cnut?

but someone told me he was "chunky" on watmm and we spent
quite a bit chatting on windows live messenger or whatever
that crap was with hold F97 to spam someone with a voice
clip and i still have a giant folder of josso and i spamming
each other live off the mixer repeatedly

but if chunky was aphex, that would be lovely, i had a great
time chatting with whoever that was. but someone just said
it's aphex and that could be utter horseshit. i don't know i
just work here

episode of the wire we last saw three years ago" would be
like that with case history and legal code.


i suddenly came back to this thought just now, for various
raisins. that i'm saying, like, you ask the lawyer, "what
are all those books you have" and the lawyer replies "case
studies" and if i put in two or three years i think i'd
rather show off with empty shelves, and i take such delight
in twisting words, and finding ways around rules...

and now, i had a revelation: that might not matter if i
couldn't hold my wad. especially in some courtroom trial,
for example ~ that you have to know the case studies, the
case, the people [other side, judge, witnesses, whatev], and
it's a chess game where you very carefully hold back and
deploy bit by bit. obviously i'd have some problems with
this

i was more thinking the sort of lawyer that mines through
legal documents to find the zero-day gems, which would have
less of that... but still... i dunno, i can do that. but it
has to be... very deliberate. like, unless i construct my
reactions every step of the way, i'll just exponentially
accelerate into a wall. if i plan it in advance, the weasels
run it on autopilot. without a course; they run amok
