About how often would you say you realize your brain isn't quite functional today or things are wired wrong?

I get the standard fare I like to think, just not thinking, not seeing what's in front of me, etc.  It happens, it gets corrected, I roll my eyes and move on.

Then my entire train of thought is completely derailed because the forum has a link at the top of each thread that says "Go Down," and my brain explodes trying to interpret the implications.  At that point all I can do is stop, make a David Silverman face at myself, and wonder if I should just go home and go back to bed.

Maybe it's just the artist/neuroscience chick I was talking to last night, who decided to launch a lengthy discussion about how impressionism artists seem to universally paint an intense fear of sex into their work as a common theme.  The guy who painted The Scream was apparently terrified of kissing and did a recurring work (painted the same thing over and over, slightly different each time) of two people kissing, where one was consuming the other's face in a horrifying manner.

I think this made more sense in your head than it does in real life.

The conversation sounds interesting and I could get into it(I'm an educated artist), however usually this type of conversation usually results in eyes glazing over and people looking around for someone else to talk to. Even artists get bored with this sort of regurgitated academic masturbatory drivel.

I don't think my brain is wired wrong. It's mostly everybody else's.

How often do you have a crowning moment of brain damage?

Every time I open one of these threads.

These are like driving past a car wreck.  As much as you may not want to look, you just can't help yourself.

turtles get brain damage if they don't keep their head in their shell

 The thing I stuggle with the most is putting my thoughts down where I hope someone else will be able to understand some small part of them. Not that I can't express myself but what part of the weirdness should I leave out.
