Tag game

Okay, this is from HORRIBLY long ago, so apologies for that, and especially to whomever tagged me, but I was tagged, so here are five things about me:  

1.  I own way too many books.  

Seriously; the readblr posts about getting more books than you need and then having trouble moving whenever you need to relocate are painfully relatable.  And meanwhile my wishlist is hundreds of books long.  The silver lining is that I’m entirely out of book space now, so at least Sir Pterry wouldn’t not want to talk to me.  

2.  

I used to be a huge fan of myths and legends from around the world – when I was in elementary school, I’d obsessively read all the books in the library on Greek and Norse mythology.  

3.  In my free time, I oscillate between focusing on one thing to the exclusion of anything else, like smoke coming from the stove or screaming in the street, and being unable to concentrate for more than a few minutes.  It’s a problem.  

4.  I sometimes have a tendency to push people away or pretend I don’t need help 

5.  I really love any variation of chocolate with crisped rice – Crunch, Krackle, Cadbury Dairy Milk… all amazing.  

Tagging anyone who wants to be tagged, but especially @i-am-queen-of-the-meadow, @stupidadultfangirl, @caffeinewitchcraft, @c-foley, @crazyfandomaddicted, and @22degreehalo.  

Only do this if you want to, of course – don’t feel any pressure to otherwise!

If you’re one of those people who thinks executive dysfunction only happens for things we don’t like (school, cleaning,) then please consider the fact that I’ve been meaning to plug my phone in for 20 minutes and I’m now at 2% and still putting it off to write this post ¯_(ツ)_/¯

My anime/video game list consists of over 100 titles, easily, and yet I almost never get around to watching/playing any of them.

Executive dysfunction is not just for boring or unenjoyable things. It’s for everything. Even eating.

What is executive dysfunction? O.o

Put simply, it’s difficulty/inability with initiating tasks. The prefrontal cortex is responsible for executive functions, like decision-making and impulse control. People with ADHD and other neurological disorders that affect the prefrontal cortex often experience difficulty making decisions and performing tasks, as well as exercising self restraint. Part of why people with ADHD tend to procrastinate so badly is out of genuine inability to begin tasks, even if they’re very important.

It feels, for me at least, like I’m constantly waiting for something and I can’t start X task because I’m waiting. I never know what exactly I’m waiting for, but that doesn’t stop me from wasting hours and days not doing the things I need to do, even if I have a desire to do them.

This adorable little robot is designed to make sure its photosynthesising passenger is well taken care of. It moves towards brighter light if it needs, or hides in the shade to keep cool. When in the light, it rotates to make sure the plant gets plenty of illumination. It even likes to play with humans.

Oh, and apparently, it gets antsy when it’s thirsty.

The robot is actually an art project called “Sharing Human Technology with Plants” by a roboticist named Sun Tianqi. It’s made from a modified version of a Vincross HEXA robot, and in his own words, its purpose is “to explore the relationship between living beings and robots.”

I don’t care if it’s silly. I want one.

Okay @astralmaenad I every time I see this post all I can think about is this little robot taking up the place of honor in Yami’s garden and being named “Little Seth” and Mokuba getting high fived for telling people he named it that because “he gets‘ a antsy when thirsty”

There is an entire Junji Ito graphic novel about why this is a bad idea.
