Random

It's amazing how one can get so distracted. One minute I'm super focused on something and the next moment my mind is wandering. Not daydreaming. Wandering. In The Mentalist, Jane, (the crazy non cop dude that can sometimes speak to horses) was teaching a class he barged into. He said that the mind is like a closet. He wanted the students to look into their "closet" and find out information on the victims personality. When my mind wanders, i just stand and stare at my closet. But it's empty.
But sometimes I get jittery and I can't stop moving. That happened at school today. In the middle of Bible and during Social Studies I was standing, pacing, rearranging books on the shelves, and seemingly not paying attention. But I was. I was just having the urge to move. And my soooooo nice teacher let me do it because I'm in the back of the class.
But what causes these impulse???? ADD? ADHD???? I haven't been tested for that. Growing spurts causing the need to move and stretch so I can grow??? (not that I'm not tall enough thank you) me need ing attention?? Though the last one may be my last suggestion, it could be true. Me, without needing attention or wanting attention, possibly trying to get attention. That would be my last possibly.

It is amazing how easily the mind could get distracted. Like one time our art teacher spent a whole class explaining the differences of how diesel and gas engine works. How did we get to that topic??????? I think that our art teacher, Mr. K, was asking us how to do a something with a tractor when a certain Winter asked how a diesel engine worked. Then Mr. K explained how a diesel and gas engine worked with words and a few drawn pictures.
Another time Mr. K asked us to close our eyes. He was going to tell us a word and we were going to see a picture. Now before I tell you this, we are all republicans. All us this. We don't like our president right now. Now I'll tell you what happened. So Mr. K told us to close our eyes and we would see a picture, not the word he was going to say. Then he said two words. "Barack Obama." let's just say there was a lot of screaming and a lot of "my eyes!!!!" thirteen dramatic kids screaming in indoor voices all at once going like "my eyes!!!!". A very funny day.

See what I just did??? At first I was telling you about how Mr. K can talk a whole class about the differences between the diesel engine and the gas engine, the i told you a random story that was waaaaay out of topic about him ruining our day making us picture Obama.
I've heard that the human mind is more complex than a computer. So there is a lot of space to roam and go off in a totally off track bunny trail. Like your going to town when you see an acorn. You know that there should be a squirrel because squirrels like acorns. So you're thinking about squirrels when you remember the movie you saw that was called Up. So you start thinking about dogs flying in airplanes shooting at a kid when the kid yells "Squirrel!" then the dogs crash their planes looking for squirrels. Then you suddenly get the horror of dogs driving planes and how the world would be like that. Now you look up and your in a strange place. You're at your evil Aunt Cindy's house that is like five teen miles off from where you should have been.
I could have come up with a story right there and then about that evil Aunt Cindy who is actually a butterfly who is addicted to butter, but then you would stop reading. See how my mind is????? I can get easily lost.
