I don't know who or what has done it but the imagination of nearly
everyone i know has been whisked away.
I used to think that imagintaion was contagious, like conjunctivitis, but
less crusty. Now I'm beginning to think it works the other way. Today upon
hearing a strange rumbling noise my flatmate asked what it could be. I
offhandedly suggested it was probably a bullfrog looking for a mate.
He just stared at me blankly and said "but why would it be looking for a
mate in here?" and started looking for the bullfrog... which i would
imagine was actually the spirit of a jaded lover or some such.
This has been happening to me with worrying frequency and is beginning to
annoy. Maybe i should just give up flexing whatever imaginary muscle i have
left and give in to the seemingly inevitable atrophy which awaits.
ps, I sneeze at four o'clock every morning. Does anyone else sneeze at
regular times?

I have plenty of an imagination.
It's how I have a perfect future, complete with a solid degree and a warm
house and an immutable figure. It's how I make the best coffee and the
wittiest comebacks.
Imagination is how Anthony Kiedis sticks his tongue in my ear. ____________________ < / hate > |

Without imagination, I would have no love life whatsoever so I hope that
you are simply being an alarmist and there is no real drain on the
mundus imaginalis . I'm really big on the quality-of-life
issues.

PS: No, I don't sneeze at particular times, but I do sneeze in particular
places. There are certain "sneeze zones" that get me when I walk through
them... kind of like wireless hubs only with more mucous. ____________________ "I believe that woman is planning to shoot me again." |

Jesus, if my imagination has gone and therefore all of the stuff I was
saying at the pub last night is real then we are all in SERIOUS trouble. I
mean really. Gravity is selective and works like velcro. People, this may
be happening, start being nice to gravity or else it will get bored of you
and let go. ____________________ Eritis sicut Deus scientes bonum et malum.

Probably am just being alarmist. I'm pretty sure my imagination is intact.
Last night i dreamt that some crazy texan had been re-elected as
president. Hahaha... oh... wait....
Not too worried about the gravity thing though. getting a bit sick of wear
and tear on my legs to be honest. Plus I'd finally be able to get on a
bike without having to use a step ladder. |

That's kind of creepy abbadon .
But as far as all this imagination goes. I'm surprised I'm not in a padded
room. I barley ever think straight. My mind always wanders and I start day
dreaming about hot air ballooning or swimming across the pacific or other
crazy thinks that I would never do. ____________________ fucking classy. |

Thinking straight never got anyone anywhere.
People that think straight are the kind of people that take everything they
see asa given, as immutable. The kind of people that watched the apple
fall to the ground and said "well, there it is, we have no wings, we'll be
stuck on the ground forever."
What we want are the kind of people that think in curves. the kind of
people that said "well... lets build ourselves wings. Let's touch the sky.
Let's reach the stars so that we can better understand our place on the
earth."

school days quite well... i may not learn anything at school, but i sure do
end up thinking alot... my friends never seam to get what i say tho... just
smile nervously and back away that little bit more... ____________________ I know whats it like to want to die, how it hurts to smile, how you try to

The simpsons, isn't it? Can't remember the episode. rodd and todd or
whatever the flanders boys are called. Some poor imagination there. I
would go for "I have miranda otto." " i have one of those hoverboards from
back to the future 2." (we'll forget about the rest of the film but those
boards were cool.)

Yah its from The Simpsons leprosy episode.
Sigh, my head is always in the clouds and its gotten me in trouble more
than once. I'm usually told to keep my head strait and do my work, but I
swear its fun here in my head. Besides Albert Einstein said some thing
along the lines of "Imagination is more important than intelligence." Also
someone else said imagination is a major part of intelligence. For example
the gorilla that built a tower out of junk to reach the banana hanging from
the ceiling. My English teachers though killed imagination; so prim and
proper about every little thing. Dissecting every story and poem to the
point that it all most became necropsy. There was no room for "free"
writing, nor original papers with their set of limits. I detested those
fill in the blank critique papers all the while trying to keep it original,
but oh no! You can't say anything original unless three other critics said
the same thing. And I am positively sure artistic license was
ritualistically murdered by English teachers somewhere in the woods a long
time ago. You should have seen my eyes light up back in high school when
they let us write what we wanted so long as we obeyed the basics.
....well fun and erotic in my head.

My imagination has no limits, and it is that same overactive, unhealthy,
and all consuming imagination that has kept me in fear of drugs for EVER.

Imagining things is fun. Especially really bizarre things. Like: what would
happen if Pee Wee Herman were president? Or. What would I be like if it
weren't for global communication. ____________________ fucking classy. |

Yeah, wouldn't it be odd if someone weve seen on TV was elected into a
position of power.

My idiot boyfriend keeps insisting that one day Arnold will be president.
I keep saying he can't be because he wasn't born in the U.S., but he just
clings to the belief that they'll amend that part of the constitution so
one day we can all sing "Hail to the Presinator."
