Something repulsive.
I signed up to Twitter. Suppose that will probably negate my facebook status updates (or at the least, over ride them). Follow me here: http://twitter.com/danatello
Maybe one day I’ll get round to amalgamating all of my various online presences onto danatello.co.uk.
“For Christmas the perfect gift for my parents would be a toaster but I got that last year so maybe something that isn’t - boot lace boot camp liquorice allsorts allsports idon’t know mumble jumble sale kettle kettle kettle kettle toast.”
I stumbled upon a few articles about stream of consciousness and streamwriting techniques. Sounded like nonsense (I found the same streamwriting article in at least two different places), but the idea of teasing your subconscious out to see the results seemed interesting so I gave it a go.
I always considered that if I ever tried to lucid dream successfully, and had a conversation with someone in my dream, then I would actually just be talking to myself and so I wonder what sort of insight into my own motivations etc I could get? Or if it might be a way of accessing otherwise misplaced memories (like hypnotism)? anyway…
Basically, you write a title (I wrote a title, then the first sentence) then just write whatever comes to your mind – only I think its not meant to come to your mind but to the paper. This was my second attempt and I can’t really “switch off” from just thinking practically and ignoring unrelated thoughts. Will probably give it another go sometime.
The words after the hyphen read with a certain rhythm though I think, which is nice. Also, I can’t get them a kettle ‘cos the toaster I got last year matches the kettle they already have.
