This will shock nobody
It is no secret that I am absent-minded and prone to distraction. A good example would be earlier this morning, when I went to check the weather online. As the browser was loading, I noticed an article about OJ Simpson (they tell me it's been 10 years, which just serves to make me feel old). So I clicked on the link and read the article, then for the life of me couldn't remember what I had been planning on doing in the internet.
This is not an unusual situation for me, so I was prepared. I went through a mental checklist, which goes something like this: not paying a bill, not checking my credit card or bank statement, not reading or updating blogs, not surfing for porn... Hmm, that's about everything I do on the internet. I shrugged it off and went back to work (yes, I'm at work today) figuring that I'd remember later. Then, halfway through my lunch somebody asked how warm it was outside and I suddenly remembered my abandoned quest to check the forecast.
I just took the ADD test, and the thing says that I am very likely to have an attention deficit disorder. It also havs a spinning rainbow-colored brain that I could just stare at for hours and... what. Oh, sorry. Where was I? Oh yeah. So, fine, whatever. I'm easily distracted by shiny objects, I forget things, and I'm impulsive and petulant. I can live with that.
Nobody loves you like you love you
I mean, it's not even so bad being this way. Sometimes I totally forget where I've put things, then I totally forget that I ever even owned them in the first place. Then, later, I find them and it's like Christmas. Just today in fact I found a bag of Fritos in my cabinet drawer at work. I was estactic! I love Fritos! It was like a little gift to myself. A thoughful surprise just to let me know that I cared.

Thanks...thanks a lot Penguin. I took your bloody ADD test at 5:11 Sunday morning. Not only did it say that it was Highly Probable that I have Adult ADD, but it also listed (after taking the SECOND test) 3 or 4 OTHER nice little disorders that I'm highly probable to have.
Upon reading their "recommended" diet choices. One disorder said I should eat low carbs. Another one said I shouldn't eat low carbs. Another one said I should eat low fat. No wonder I'm confused and can't focus.

Hmmm...that happens to me in the shower, too. Only it has nothing to do with washing my hair, and everything to do with whether or not the shower head and I have gotten friendly yet or not. OK, OK, so I forget on PURPOSE just so I can "come again" (as it were ;) | |

that always happens to me in the shower. after spacing out for awhile, i can't for the life of me remember whether i've shampooed my hair yet or not, so i normally just do it again with the logic that it's better to shampoo twice than not at all. | |

I took the ADD test and it said I am unlikely to have it. :) | |

I blame it on the computers. I forget stuff like that all the time, usually when I am in front of the computer. :) | |
