Locking myself out the house...yeah done that more times than i can remember and had to break back in each time cos i dont have a spare key haha. thinking ive lost things when theyre in my pocket too. Worse one ever was when i went to an ATM to get some cash. pressed the button, took the card back and the reciept and left the money! when i reaslised and drove back it was of course gone to whatever lucky person used it after me.

Keys are very problematic for me. I tend to daydream. I lose stuff. space....

I think we may secretly be clones. If curiousity killed m->-bleeped-<-ies, I would have been dead years ago! I start so many crazy projects-- some I finish, some I don't. Better to start and not have the time and energy to finish than to never do it at all-- it gives a good taste of the world. |D

hehe, that pretty much describes me...I've always said i have the curiosity and attention span of a cat. My life is littered with the bones of half finished projects. The ones that do get finished are usually pretty good tho.

I just fake it with a smile   

My wifes new nick name for me is spacy stacy.

Occasionally I can be; talking about one topic... Then something happens.. I talk about that or just randomly switch to another topic... Then without warning return to the initial topic. Perhaps I'm just too used at having two conversations at once. 

So, I decided to quote my reply of nearly 3 years ago. It still applies quite well apart from one difference: if something happens during a conversation I don't talk about it, I watch the 'some thing', shush and don't continue the previous conversation either. Kind of like... I go brain dead at random moments.
Oh but I still continue topics conversed hours ago like nothing happened in the meantime. 

do you do the whole randomly going back to a previous topic of conversation whilst in the middle of a new one to? I really confuse people with that one.

Yep I tend to do that as well in a connect-the-dots kind of way. It can even be a conversation that took place days earlier. I think that has more to do with my good memory though.

I have become quite scatterbrained (to my dismay).

I now always put my keys in the same place. My work badge always goes in the laptop bag the minute i get off work. And so on. This helps me to find those things later.

One thing that i've noticed lately is that i'll suddenly remember something that i need to do, and then forget about it 5 minutes later. I missed a haircut appointment that way. This has been happening more and more.

My scatterbrainity seems to come largely from being hyperfocused on a few things at once, that it crams out all sorts of other things - there is also the fact that I tend to concentrate on connections between things, so I do jump around from one thing to another - leaving a lot of things (appear) unfinished - they are not unfinished, they are just works in progress.

My record on being locked out the house was three nights in a row - I kept getting involved in other things and forgetting I had forgot my keys.

^ I have that "problem," too.  I sometimes lock in on ideas for a while, but then I move on, like I'm traversing along a network, finding new connections, building new areas, but not necessarily in a well-organized way.

I think it is good to recognize those connections.  Find similarities, find contradictions, and reassemble reality.

I use post its and a day-planner thing, which incidentally was specially ordered for me, cause the woman who owns the shop is a friend of mine, we share some interests and I do like her, I have other friends that I have less in common with but share more time in the company of, we had a guest here this evening, we call her the pet lesbian, cause she's a lesbian and she comes over to get bacon, I really like bacon, my brother made a comment that "all men like bacon" I wonder if that was his version of accepting me as a brother, it would be really nice if it was, cause he's my brother you know, he has no body hair really, it's like he waxes his legs, he's like that naturally, while I've always had hairy man legs, even pre-T, I'm really enjoying my T, I like tea too, but I prefer coffee, coffee is the nectar of the gods and....

... wait... what are we on about?

Google Tasks is a lifesaver. Even though I can keep what I need to do in mind without it, then I'm just worrying that I'm forgetting something and things look insurmountable. But with a task list (that I can easily cross things off of) integrated with my calender, everything's easier.

I will pay 3 Euros to whomever returns the scattered pieces of my mind.

Which one of them Rebis?

I need the part that will make me run off into the woods and live with the coyotes.
The part that creates, maybe.

You have a gift for describing things well. Why aren't you a writer?

I managed to fill my sugar bowl with cous-cous yesterday

My mind wanders when I am performing a task and my thoughts are about my next dress and pair of sexy heels.
