So for my "writing about literature" class today, we had a peer workshop for our 'interpretive analysis' rough drafts and it seems that I write backwards, in a sense.  A guy in my group told me that it's like I wrote it in reverse...essentially, my last paragraph should be my first.  How weird is that?  It's a pretty good revelation though.  I used to do the same thing in my statistics class.  I'd do the problem and then I'd write the hypotheses. 

...something random...I think 'the girls' have gotten bigger...or maybe just...perkier.  It's strange.  Very, very strange.  I'm too old for a growth spurt.  I'm not pregnant or anything.    I'm sure you wanted to know about that.  I'm not upset by it (as many female bodied androgynes might be)...I'm more bewildered.

you think backwards? you have magical inflating breasts?
your special 

I think sideways.

tits definitely have their perks. 

and peaks.

Generally when I'm trying to explain something, I give a very detailed explanation, and finish with a few simple sentences, like if I wanted to make sure-sure that they understand well what I meant to say, but I don't remember having people notice it as "backwars".

So I think I do that too.

Also, maybe you had a change in your diet?
Or perhaps could it be that an alien race which hatches from female's breasts have choosen you as their nest.
Or not...

Backwards, eh?


I think upside down.

But when you think backwards, do you hear subliminal messages 

Paul is dead...Paul is dead...Rebis is the Walrus....

As long as the writing is understandable and interesting, it shouldn't be a problem.


Look at how I structured that sentence above.  Instead of writing it as It shouldn't be a problem as long as the writing is understandable and interesting,  I tossed the It shouldn't be a problem at the end

I do that a lot and, because i do it a lot, I don't know if I have a defect or not.  Am I wrong?

I figured I'd ask you because you has schoolin'

When I have to write something, I write exactly the same way.

It actually does seem to be a problem...but only in the sense that I would get better grades if I wrote my ideas in the correct order.  It was a three page paper and my thesis statement was on the last page, according to my group.  And my teacher returned another paper saying not to introduce terms in the last paragraph.  Weird.

The boob thing...I don't know.  I've lost about 8 lbs, so they shouldn't be growing...rather, they tend to shrink when female bodied people lose weight.    It's rather amusing.

My theories are that because you have lost weight there is less 'sag' so they kind of perk up a bit, or maybe your chest muscles have tightened up or maybe you are just getting older and your body is growing into it's womanlyness or perhaps it is just part of your menstruation cycle and hormonal changes are making a difference that you have not noticed before.

imagine that - a menstruation bicycle ...is it made of sponge

Wow.  There are no other words than 'wow'. 

I thought about regular old body changes...but I don't know.  I did change vitamins, but they are just general...they're not for women or anything.  Weird. 

*sigh* I have to go back to school now...bleah.  I wish I could drop one of my classes, but then I'd be part time...*sigh*

As for the writing, I would call it an intuitive way of doing it. I know that when I ponder a question, the answer just comes to me--then I need to go back and explain why that is the answer. When I studied computer programming, we were supposed to start with a flow chart (and professionally, we were supposed to write a chart as documentation). I'd have parts of the program come to me, and I'd have to start there, setting down each part as it came to me. As the last step, I could chart the program, and sometimes in doing that see ways to optimize it.

And I write and think so slowly, that, for essay questions, I cannot just start writing but have to think it through, condense it, and set it down in as few words as I can. If you are writing on a computer, you could write as you think and, re-arrange as a last step.

The other half of your posting just leaves me dysphoric.

I think too inefficiently to think quickly...but it does mean that when i answer the question i can not only answer it, but a whole bunch of (vaguely)  related questions at the same time.

I seem to process things at a slow rate too. For example when I do multiplication I have to do a manual calculation in my head before I get the answer e.g. 8*4 is I could go 8 and 8 is 16, 16+16 is twenty + 2 6's ...32! Yet I got easy A's in university level maths.

I have to say I do that process extremly quick though. Maybe not a slow thinker, I just like to process things a certain way. I like to work out the answer in my head rather than fire off wrote answers without thinking about it.

I had a conference with my prof (we all did, it wasn't just me ) and I basically have to rewrite the whole thing.    I used too much outside research.  I have to tie my paper to the story itself...so...

The story is "The Gospel According To Mark" by Jorge Luis Borges and my thesis is that the story is political rather than religious.  But I can only use info from the story.  Any ideas? 

I was genuinely more confused after the conference than before...she isn't someone who communicates well...

I thought the gospel according to Mark was actually by some homosexual guy called Mark? 

Why don't they call it the Gospel According to Jorge Luis Borges

  Well, it's actually a short story about this guy in Argentina who gets crucified (literally) after reading the gospel to this peasant family that lives/works on the farm he's staying at.

Actually, my teacher told me to read the Gospel of Mark in the Bible...I avoid the damn thing and now I have to read it for a class...suck. 

Read it for the homoerotic connotations. It makes it more interesting.

Google it online - Gospel Mark Political - see what you get. There is plenty of good stuff about the political significance of it when placed in context of the times. Maybe you can steal it....just an idea
