After three nights of barely-sleeping, I finally caught some winks today. Just two hours worth of a nap but its made a world of difference I tell you!!
 
So I was looking at my TV after I woke up.. I say 'looking' not watching because I was just looking at it lost in thought. And I remembered this thing I'd read a long time back that said that all of us have a set number of words we speak per day.. like out word-quota so to say.. and after that we shut up.
 
I was reminded of this tidbit because I was pondering at how much and how fast I speak!! Today when I met my college friens after a month, most of them said that they were happy to see me, their brains were kind of in shock because they had lost the habit of enduring sooooo much talk!!
 
So anyway that got me wondering what my daily word-quota would be.. because I seem to be drawing from an inexhaustible source!! lol..
 
And that got me thinking that there should be a way to measure the numbers of word we speak per day.. like the pedometer except it would be a word-o-meter.
 
The study I had read also said that women's word-quota was bigger than men's.. duh!! Thats like the studies that say things like.. 'Women pick the best mate possible'.. duh!! Doesnt everyone? I mean does that mean men do not prefer the best mate? Scientists are so dumb!
 
So anyway ALL this got me thinking.. that what if we have exhausted our daily quota of words and still have more to say?? What happens then?? And it was like a bulb lighting up in my brain.. THATS why we blog!!
 
Yep.. thats it.. its sceintific and everything! We blog because we've run out of words and still have more to say. We're so chatty that talking for real just doesnt cut it for us! Its like a sickness of communicating.. except its good!! 
 
Thank you for visiting my groggy brain today! I look forward to hosting you again if you've survived this!!
 
 
:-D

    I blog out of fear that if I said all the thoughts that I wanted to communicate that I'd not have an RL friends. LOL  Or something close to that.
     
    I actually do worry about whether or not I've talked the ear off of some of my friends to the point where they want to run away or stick a fork in their eye.  I seem to also have an inexhaustible amount of talk in me.  It's too bad I didn't go into law where you can nearly charge by the word. ;)
  • diabolicdame said on Jan 23, 2009....
    uni, as long they're not sticking the fork in your eye its not that bad!! hehehe.. You know what, my mum says that to me all the time.. I should've been a lawyer.. I'd be rich!! I'm wasting my talent sitting in my lab I tell you!!
     
    Note to self: Must talk ways of making money for talking!!
  • diabolicdame said on Jan 23, 2009....
    Lol.. I meant must 'find' ways of making money for talking!! Guess I'm talking too much.. as usual!! lol
  • GrapeKoolaid said on Jan 23, 2009....
    I have a pretty high word-count, as far as a fella goes, I guess...

    However, when me and my friends exchange a series of monosyllabic grunts, we get more across to each other than ladies chatting for hours.  :)
  • diabolicdame said on Jan 23, 2009....
    Grapey, thats just what guys say to explain their mono-sullabic grunts!! And seeing as we women are in majority here right now and you're the only guy, I think the majority would agree with me on this one!!  :-P
  • cuppajava said on Jan 23, 2009....
    and your groggy brain sounds very cute and makes a alot of sense.I dont really have alot to say during the day as the work i do doesnt involve a lot of speech - as i talk with my hands on computer while i design.But i have read a similar study somewhere not sure where.
    I know that a lot of people 'blog' and use it is as some form of theraputic release.I think thats why i do it - but havent decided on that one yet.
    Hope to meet your groggy brain again soon !
  • diabolicdame said on Jan 23, 2009....
    cj.. thank you!! I never thought my groggy brain could be cute!! hehehe.. I'm glad it atleast made sense to you.. you talk very well with your hands.. I must say your hands are quite eloquent!! My groggy brain will be very happy to see you soon! Hey, you're an architect, aren't you?
  • fragglesrock said on Jan 23, 2009....

    hi dd!  i didn't know that you that are a "talker" i truly didn't...boy if we got you and uni in a room together...then throw in hege....oui vey!

    loved this post btw...made me really giggle :)

  • diabolicdame said on Jan 23, 2009....
    frags.. I'm pretty sure that would lead to somebody exploding!! lol.. you didnt know I am a talker? Lucky you!! Lots of people wish they didnt have to find out either.. and they actually had to hear me.. atleast you found out the easy wat!! lol.. I'm glad it made you giggle.. a giggling fraggles is the best kind of fraggles!!   :-D
  • uniquely-ironic said on Jan 23, 2009....
    @ frags - Hey! I resemble that remark!!!  Seems to me you're a fairly gifted talker when you're not falling down! ;)
  • Lucytorial said on Jan 23, 2009....
    Ohh you are a genuis..... yup! I'm always getting told to shut the hell up! so yep thats why I blog.... far out how simple huh? LOL
  • cntlvmenuf said on Jan 23, 2009....
    I on the other hand I'm the quiet sort...I also happen to hear what people are not saying. It used to bother me when people complained am quiet and all that but hey....if we all talk at the same time who's gonna listen!

    This reminds me of one time my mom and I were carrying out a conversation and we were both talking at the same time and understanding each other too (amazing!) and my brother who was in the room was so tickled.

    So word is that women talk twice as much as men.....and you know why? Because we have to repeat ourselves coz men don't listen!
  • Hegemone said on Jan 23, 2009....
    Ha, I like this DD.  Very believable and plausible ... and I wonder if there would be some way to measure spoken words now, lol.  In the spirit of this ... ok, so we blog because we still have more to say ... and I'm sure all bloggers haven't stopped dreaming.  They say dreaming is your sub conscious mind's way of sorting through leftover thoughts. So perhaps words are words, blogs are leftover words that don't make it all the way out, and dreams are leftover words that don't make it to blog or speech either.  Hmmm....
  • wombat said on Jan 23, 2009....
    I think you're right.  I'm here to talk.  When Mr. W says I am talking too much and he can't hear the tv, I am ticked.  When he asks, "Why are you so quiet?  Are you mad at me?"  I am more ticked.  I need to get back to work so I will have people to talk to.  Ha......In the meantime, I come here and bug you people!  I don't know my quota of words.
  • D6fer said on Jan 23, 2009....
    for me it is a good way to sort out my thoughts and articulate them for my own benefit.....if I am blogging about a particular issue....it gives me the opportunity to learn more about it as others give there point of view or post links....it's a great learning tool.
  • diabolicdame said on Jan 24, 2009....

    Lucy: I knew you'd get it!! And I promise I'll never ask you to shut up if you dont ask me to!!  :-D

    cntluvmenuf: Oohh you're the listener eh! Lovely!! You're like my cosmic counterpart!! Isn't is funny when you're both talking and still getting each other!! lol.. happens a lot with mothers and daughters.. they already know what the other is saying anyway!!  :-)

    hege: Wow hege.. I think you've actually gone ahead and expanded my theory to something better!! Brilliant!! Ofcourse I had to read it twice to figure out what's going where.. hehehehehe.. it sounded like a long mathematical equation!! But its brilliant I tell you!!

    wombie: Men!! You talk they have a problem.. you dont talk they have a problem.. lol.. actually it really is when you dont talk that they have a problem coming up.. cause we all know thats the silence before the storm!! lol

    D6fer: Yes ofcourse its  agreat learning tool.. but its also a place to talk your friggin shoes off!! hehehe..  :-D

    That is a stunning insight. And if you don't mind, I'll picture running around naked anyway. So, from this deduction I assume that the human race, with struggling speechless individuals, has finally been set free thanks to the advent of blogging. And here I thought blogging was simply a recreational tool for people to communicate with like-minded souls in a virtual environment because their realities were filled with too many idiots and dorks.
  • diabolicdame said on Jan 24, 2009....
    hotaka.. ha! If only it were as simple as being recreational! No my friend.. there are much greater mysteries involved here which I believe I've now helped you wisen up to!! Yes you're right we've now been set free from the bounds f our word quotas. You do catch on really fast, you know!! hehehehehehe.. thanks for sharing my genius.. Oh and picture away!!   :-D
  • Me-Myself&I said on Jan 24, 2009....
    yup you sure are a genius, totally! i'm sitting here just grinning at this thought, too cool. i believe! i really enjoyed this post! *smile* you are delightful soul.
  • diabolicdame said on Jan 24, 2009....
    Me-My, thank you very much!!  :-)
