LJ crush thing

[wispfox]

That silly LJ crush thingy going around right now - I'd do it, if it would _let_ me. But it appears to hate me. I realize that, like the last one, it may happen that the info gets sold again. But I totally don't care who knows.

Is ok, I think I have a crush FSVO crush on at least half my friends list (probably more, because I tend to gravitate toward people who fascinate the hell out of me). The value of crush I would probably use if it ever _lets_ me, includes wanting to eat people's brains, thinking they are just utterly nifty, and similar, and may or may not have anything to do with actually having sexual interest in them to a degree where I would ever act on it. Yes. Then again, people who I _do_ have sexual interest in tend to _know_ this, because I tend to tell people things when I think they need to know them.

[edit] (oh, look. It's working...

[another edit] That was amusing. Not quite half my friends list, but still a ridiculous number. Seems to entail some very strange combination of people I feel like I know enough to crush on them and _not_ people I know too well to crush on them. Oddly, it also seems to still be possible to know someone really well and crush on them, in my head. I think it's mostly about types of connections, and how well I can read a person, actually. Gods, my brain is weird.

(wait - I'm literally shiny? That sounds odd. ;)

I am a synesthete, so there are a lot of VERY ODD things that happen sensorially in my head. Sometime I should explain some of it to you.

Aaaaaah...

Y'know, that's always sounded neat to me. And, to some _very_ small degree, I have it happen that with some sounds, I also see things. I like. :)

I believe that it's a capacity that's wired into the brain, and that with the right kind of practice, it can be brought out, and in cases where it's present, made stronger.

I'm not sure how exactly...I know that mine has strengthened over time, due in part to my increasing awareness of it as well as paying conscious attention to what I'm experienceing. Mind-altering drugs do, unfortunately, help most people get to this state, but not everyone wants to do drugs.

Oh? Really? *fascinated*

Huh!

Yes. And, for the most part, my brain is strange enough that I don't need drugs. ;) (not to say that I'm not _curious_, however)
