That's what it is. We try and put our thoughts into each other's heads through language but half the intended meaning gets lost in the translation, and the other half is filtered through existing assumptions.
 
From a conversation earlier tonight: "I'm sorry. I can't read your mind. If you have something to say, just say it. I'm not smart enough to interpret your thoughts."


End.

I'm pretty sure if you were here right now I could read your mind.
~chuckle~


In certain places I believe that's called tampering with the witness.
 
Based on the above assumption - everything could then be considered, at best, a half truth...
 
I told you to quite trying to read my mind. I'm just thinking of my To Do List anyway.


*Number one: Tease Dillinger by making him think I'm daydreaming about his cock.

Number two: masturbate

Number three: tease Dillinger by making him think I was masturbating while daydreaming about his cock.*


And there's nothing on that of any interest to you.
 
So - this is the whole problem then... we can't understand each other through the smog of our presumptions and prejudices. Multiply that six billion times and perhaps we can begin to understand the desperation of our global situation.

In the end...love is/was enough.

*Number one: clean up the linen closet

Number two: santize the hamper

Number three: hose down the back porch

Number four: buy air freshener

Number five: duct tape boys into the tub

Number six: get pet's stomach pumped

Whoa, when you say there's nothing of interest you really mean it. I was OK until that duct tape thing. Maybe I'm only half following you.
 
Should I send my mental messages to Gnufi or You?

I am lost in a sea of thoughts.

:D


I have telepathy pretty choppily. I don't know when it is going to hit me or how, but when it does, and it all pans out, it is clear as blazing stars.


I am a good guesser in other words. ;)

I don't know how many brilliant ideas I've had that I simply couldn't put into words.

I still don't know what the Nazz is, though.

But I know you're not thinking what I'm thinking.

Wow you really can read minds!

Which is why Hyperbole Buddy will always be there to save the day!
