So Which Is It?

Remember when people used to say that humans only use 10% of their brains? (LIE, by the way.) Even if I didn't already know it was false, I wouldn't be able to believe it because of all the random stuff going on in my head.

Map of my brain:



(I may need to reevaluate my priorities... but that's not the point of this post.)

Each of these segments comes with its own distinct voice and personality. For example, I imagine the Useless Knowledge segment as Alex Trebek, complete with the old nineties mustache. Music inexplicably speaks in the voice of my high school choir director (with occasional input from my Auntie Jon) while Responsibility hasn't progressed past infant stage and therefore can't talk, just wails in the corner while the other pieces of my brain ignore it. Sports is a meaner version of myself complete with shinguards and dirt-smeared elbows (from falling all the time) whereas Useful Crap is me in a lab coat. The compiled References personality has bad posture and is cross-eyed from staring at a screen all the time.

All in all, my imaginary brain looks something like this:



There's this site called StumbleUpon that has to be the greatest website EVER for us ADOS (that's Attention Deficit Ooo Shiny) kids, and the other day it led me to a piece of interesting trivia: in South Africa, there was a Sesame Street puppet named Kami who was HIV positive and an orphan, to help kids deal with a circumstance that's not all that uncommon in South Africa.

My brain was in at least fifty different places:

Music: 'Sunny days, sweepin' the clouds away...' Hey, I bet I could transcribe that... Let's see, what are those chords?
Entertainment References: Hey, Final Fantasy XII had a whole bunch of orphans in it! Also, 'Invictus' took place in South Africa.
Sports: So did the FIFA World Cup this year! ...Curse you, Spain, you PIECE OF CRAP! GERMANY SHOULD HAVE WON!
Useless Knowledge: 'Kami' is the Japanese word for God!
Entertainment References: I'm sure I've seen that in an anime somewhere!
Useful Stuff: HIV leads to AIDS, which attacks your immune system!
Music: Hey, that reminds me of RENT!
Responsibility: ...Don't I have homework to be doing?
Everyone Else: NO. GO AWAY.

Conclusion: I'm either a freaking genius or a multiple personality disorder patient. You decide.
