The other day I missed getting off the correct bus stop because I was busy daydreaming. This doesn't happen often at this point in my life because I've learned to tell myself to snap out of it before I'm unable to function. Also, in my defense, it was early in the morning and I wasn't capable of much more than letting my thoughts get away from me.
Anyway, I distinctly remember what I was thinking about, strangely enough. I was thinking about how one would go about starting a small pastry/coffee/bookshop in one of the abandoned buildings we have on campus. I wonder how successful it would be compared to the franchises they have on campus like Starbucks, etc.
Now, I wasn't contemplating it completely seriously, and to be honest, basing a whole business that caters to what you like, instead of what potential customers like, doesn't necessarily equate to a successful business. Especially if what you like isn't what the majority of others like. But it was a nice little daydream to have.
This whole scenario has made me wonder, though. I let my Ne run rampant, and with it, I make random plans that I won't share with anyone else, and many made up stories that I have long forgotten. I wonder on how many opportunities I've lost not remembering what my own imagination has entertained me with. Thus, I will start writing on this blog more often, if only to preserve things that I will forget otherwise.
Also, it makes me wonder if this is what causes some people to find me somewhat unapproachable after a while. I like being in my own head because of my own imagination (as arrogant as that sounds). I am able to engage people initially, but after a while, it gets harder and harder to connect with those who are S, or at least that is what I find. I think maybe because they can't see the world the way I do. While I don't find Sensor's annoying, per say, I do find talking to them awkward because I'm so bad at small talk and I run out of things to say to them and generally become... disinterested. I also think I rub SJ's the wrong way without meaning to. This bothers the crap out of me...
To change the subject, the one frustrating thing about writing, though, is I tend to re-read and go back and reword a lot of my sentences. I go back and edit what I write a lot. So, I lose my train of thought. It's like I have so many ideas that come at me at once that I forget them if I can't write them fast enough. In fact, I've think I've forgotten what I originally was going to write about. I guess I'll stop for now before I go off on another random tangent again.
Ciao!
