What are you thinking right now?

[SophiaGrace]

I like audio books. Hmm...grey area?

They still count as books to me.

I don't like reading - I'd rather watch TV. I have an IQ of over 150. I'm relatively well educated. I'm reasonably articulate. I think I've got a perfectly well functioning imagination. The simple fact is that I find most fiction books to be incredibly boring and they require a significant investment of time before I find that out...

I may well be the exception though.

I don't like reading all that much either. I'm more visually and auditorily stimulated. But I hate watching TV even more. Not that anyone necessarily premised it, but I think any idea that one must be either "a book person" or "a tv person" is an either/or logical fallacy.

Hand me a book, I'll read the first paragraph three times while thinking, "What could I be DOING with my hands right now?"

(I realize that sounded bad)

Maybe you are the exception. I don't know. I think I just have trouble relating to people who don't read?

And the preference for TV in particular over books is somewhat of a bad one for me. Maybe if the person said they'd prefer aquarium building or woodworking over reading, I'd not have as strong of a reaction.

I'm being judgmental. I'll stop now.

it is possible to read a book and practice guitar at the same time if you are careful. Not easy though. Have a nice day and good luck.

It is an either/or logical fallacy. But, that's what was given to me by the person who prompted this.

It's been raining since you left me. Now I'm drowning in the flood. You see I've always been a fighter
But without you I give up.

Well, tell that person to add a category for model ship builder! LOL, j/k

If I had to choose to only have one medium available to me for the rest of eternity, I would choose the television. A television can broadcast the written word. But a book cannot print moving pictures.

Of course, a power outage throws a monkey wrench into the works...

If one looks at it that way, books are only operational to a working temperature of 451° F either. Fireproof gloves not included.

A good opportunity to coin the phrase "Looks like you got a hot read there."

 

[johnny196775Again]

I can NOT relate to most of the problems you all have..

 

[Cavey]

I don't actually watch all that much TV either - I'd rather be doing something a little less passive.

Passive?

I dunno, user 130057. I've seen people that are pretty *interactive* when watching football (American).

I have just one thing to say to that...

In all seriousness, I actually enjoy US football. I was a Miami Dolphins fan from I was a child. This did not go down well when I married someone from just outside Buffalo...

 

[EveWasFramed]

ROFL The clarification was enjoyed, but not needed. I know full well that your football is our soccer. Doesn't make much since to me either and I live in the US. (wary)

No matter whose life I entered at any point this year...every single one seems worse off now.

 

[SophiaGrace]

Guess I'll just be alone forever.

Screw this.

 

[johnny196775Again]

this is too weird at times

 

[oceangirl]

worrying about a dinner someone invited me to tomorrow that I'm not sure if I want to go to but I'm planning on making myself go and don't plan on ever seeing the person again after that (I'm having my usual hard time making decisions, only it's even worse than usual)

 

[ladyforsaken]

Hey,less of the picking on "old" people!

Older people are precious. <3

It's all right, Johnny. Hope you're doing all right there at least.

No matter whose life I entered at any point this year...every single one seems worse off now.

I hope you don't blame yourself for that.

Guess I'll just be alone forever.

Screw this.

Don't lose hope, my dear. *hugs*

Yikes. Hope it goes well for you at least, oceangirl. Good luck.

 

[VanillaCreme]

I would have never, never, expected to hear that, today or any day. Never.

Holiday season is over, back to work tomorrow...
