Why is it that late at night, after I've turned off the computer and am trying to turn off my mind that I suddenly come up with a thousand things to write about? And of course, the next morning they are gone.
Last night, for example, I had at least three different posts running through my mind, but heaven help me if I can think of them now. Ah, I take that back, one of them is running around the fringes of my brain trying to get out.
Do any of you hold conversations in your head? I'm not talking about conversations with yourself. I mean things like thinking out things you'd like to say to someone, thinking what they'd say back...back and forth for what seems like hours? I even do this when fighting with my husband instead of actually telling him what's pissing me off, I hold these conversations in my mind and don't say anything.
That's not the only time I do it though. I'll be driving down the highway, going too fast (although I try to keep within 10 miles of the speed limit), and then when someone passes me, I actually look at the color, make & model of the car along with what I can get of the plate number so that if a police officer were to stop me I could tell him about the car going faster than me. :)
I can be walking down the street or in a store, completely lost in my musings in my head and not even notice other people walking by me, trying to get my attention because they know me.
Is this something that anyone else does, or am I alone in my freakish ways?

I do the same thing, but then I'm sort of crazy. -

As long as I'm not crazy alone, I don't mind. LOL Thanks for joining me in looney land. -

I do it as well, so I'll join you two in the crazy bunch. Ajina--I get those things I really want to write moments while in the shower. My husband thought I was insane when I tacked a small dry erase board on the wall next to the shower. -

I wish that's where I got them. :) At least I could do something like that. Unfortunately when I am finally drifting off to sleep the last thing I want to do is turn on a light to write them down. I have severe insomnia and some nights I don't fall asleep until 6am, so anytime I can fall asleep is too precious to disturb. -

Ajinia--I suffer from insomnia too. I usually keep my laptop by my bed and am thankful for a wireless network card. I've also gotten very good at writing things down on paper if I need to even in the dark. Now mind you, I couldn't write a full blown essay/story/fiction piece in the dark, but sometimes poetry skitters through my head, and I just have to write it down before I lose it. -

LOL Zayda, I've tried it, and believe me, my writing isn't good to begin with - I sometimes have trouble reading what I've written a couple hours later and that's when I'm wide awake! you can't imagine the messes that I've tried to decipher the morning after one of these! :) -

Oh, and I do have a laptop with a wireless card that I keep right next to my bed. It is invariably after lights out and computer off that the best ideas come to me though! LOL -

A and Z, I keep a WiFi enabled laptop on my bed too. God we must be geeks. On the nights when Mrs. HBC works you guys are my only company. Except of course my famous Ms. BOO, who is currently trying her best to keep my feet warm. I tease her and say she always smells like frito's. Right now I'm sort of pissed. SoulCast has screwed up my account and locked me out from making any new posts to my blog. I guess I'll just have to wait till monday to post that earth shattering, hysterically funny life changing account of how to bake bread. -
Zayda said on Aug 05, 2006....
Apparently we are geeks. Or compulsive writers. Or something. Yeah, I'm a little irked that we cant seem to create new posts--it's not just your blog, Hunter. There is something wrong with the server that's not processing the create new post portion of the application that is Soulcast. -
Ajinia said on Aug 05, 2006....
Hmm, I didn't have a problem just now. Maybe you could try again Zayda & Hunter. And I want to hear about Hunter's life changing account of baking bread. :) Geeks, I'll go with Geeks Zayda. :) It's what I've been called all my life by my broter and sisters - that or Dork.
