According to one of those tests, both sides of my brain are equally powerful...  
Sometimes I really hate my brain, just because of the left and right halves of it being both powerful. It's both a blessing and a curse I suppose, since I really need the right side of my brain's dreams, wonderful what-if scenarios and potential future images. Especially lately. Without those, I'd be doomed. And I'm also very much in need of my logical, rational left side. Without that, I would be insane.

I just love some of the imaginations and at least somewhat plausible ideas and potential scenarios that my mind is capable of rendering. Because since I apparently do have an equally strong left side brain as well, they are actually that - potentially possible. Not always likely though, but still not impossible. And I'm a sucker for those daydreams, I must shamefully admit that.

But even so, at the end of the day, it's always the logical, rational - and boring - left side that has the power to veto and point out the flaws and unlikeliness in the dream possibilities. And that is so irritating sometimes.

In short, I hate my mind for being essentially me; A wannabe dreamer that fails hard due to his masochistic tendencies to be so damn boringly realistic and responsible in the end.

Now, I'll better go and fight my parents' too fast-growing grass...

I know I have a great mind - or at least people that I perceive as intelligent and important keep telling me so. now if only the less intelligent and brilliant could as well >< It's just that sometimes I think I want to kill the obnoxious rational part of it for being such a spoilsport. I want my fun happy dreams ^^;

I think you should send the left part of your brain to some labour meeting where it could learn the principle of strike (that may change your nick from freedom to antoher one? sorry bad joke XD

Wouldn't that mean I'll end up having to give my left side brain a pay rise in the end? And then the right would get jealous... Strike Gray Matter? XD

Jag känner igen det där...och min rationella sida vinner alltid! Jag vet inte om det är tragiskt, men för det mesta gör det inte mig för emo eftersom jag är för övertygad om att jag gör det mest rationella av mitt liv under omständigheterna. Tyvärr får jag sällan något kreativt gjort för att jag är för kritisk/rationell mot innehållet innan det ens hamnat på pappret :(

Grattis i efterskott förresten, jag var en dålig människa och glömde gratta dig på den riktiga dagen!

Jo, egentligen ska man väl vara glad för att det rationella dominerar och trots allt hjälper till att hålla flummet på en acceptabel (*host*) nivå. Men så ibland så kommer den där känslan av hur många möjligheter man missar för att ens hjärna är så dumt rationell och logisk och alltid kommer där till sist med sitt "visst, trevlig dröm, men...". Ibland vill man ju liksom drömma ifred. Och det där kreativa problemet känner jag för övrigt också igen alltför väl.

Tack! :) Och det gör absolut inget, ibland känns det som om jag helst skulle vilja glömma bort det själv också XD Fast presentdelen uppväger ju åldersnojan till viss del i alla fall ^^

Yes, but some actually seem to be able to act on their dreams instead of letting that logical side stop them. Not that I think it's always a good idea either ^^;
Oh, I'll go on dreaming, you can be sure or scared about that. But it would be so much nicer if that rational part of my mind didn't insist so often on pointing out the unlikeliness of success in making them come true ;_;
