What if Inner Pain/emotional turmoil and even fear and paranoia actually came from part of the body that you could pinpoint? Rather than from the workings of that horrible lumpy thing located in your cranium (the braincase).
If it was found that it did, then we could surely perform operations to remove it, or parts of it, and wouldn't that be great?
I guess there might be some objections, like we are probably supposed to feel inner pain for some reason, like it teaches you stuff (although I tend to find it's just that people suck), and that if you could remove that it might lead to being able to remove guilt and remorse, which would probably be a bad thing. Hmm...and I guess Psychiatrists wouldn't be too pleased...
I did draw a picture of where I think inner pain might come from (to help anyone who might want to research this), but it sucked so there is little point posting it.
Anyway, that is it, Emma, when you become a doctor if you could take a look at this that would be ace.

I don't think it would be possible (obv ok..). Besides pshychal pain, isn't pain and pleasure a matter of weighing out experiences out against eachother?
I mean it's trough experience we learn the things that please us and pain us. So even if you would remove the part, you automatically start processing and analysing every new thing you experience and catogarize them into pain, pleasure or any other emotion.
Or do you mean that if the part would be removed, that everything we do would be experienced as pelasure? Which would only lead to selfdestruction i think.
or maybe I need to lay of the peanuts...

Clearly one of us needs to . . . pasty, i just want to turn my pain button off for a few hours. think if i get someone to play with my pleasure buttons it might work? It's pretty impressive how fluently you managed that conversation shift

It's annoying. I get a thought, and it seems to be there, but then it drifts away...getting, further, and further, and further. They'll come back someday.
I had a cool dream like 2 nights ago. It was one of my dad and he came to me and showed me where he was now, and it was this building where you could go up to the reception and tell them the place where you wanted to be. Like "Strange field, with a forest near the back, weird pond flung in the middle." And then you'd woosh away to it, cool huh?
I really want to sleep in a forest, and then see how the trees react. I keep getting this thought that if I slept in a forest for a long enough, the trees would start to react....in some way. Hmmm

I suppose they'd grow all around you, if you were there long enough. Not in a malevolent Old-man Willow style of course, but a friendly sort of way. You'd probably be covered in leaves as well.

How do you know there aren't chameleons hiding in front of your mirror already? How do you know that, when you see a chameleon (background unimportant), it really looks like that, with the independent eyes and all . Perhaps it just wants you to think it looks like that. While it actually creeps up behind you.

It's ok, it won't be stalking you unless you have a 'chameleon' in front of you, distracting you with its pretty colours, and it's impressive tongue. Or so I keep telling myself

yeah, maybe it has wings, but they camoflage much better than the rest of the body.
also, u could throw one really hard and kill someone, and the police wouldnt find the murder weapon. i had a whole discussion about getting away with murder. another idea was a spike made of ice that would just melt afterwards.

You're not worried that it might be pissed off at you for throwing it, and write :Dear Police, Horndog did it. Love, C. Meeleeon on it's side?

We had a discussion like that last night, apparantly injecting lethal amounts of Insulin into someones foot gives an undectable murder. Although I think they were referencing CSI, so who knows how accurate that is.

I sometimes wonder how animals hear music. Do they hear it as just random noice? or do they hear it's a special form of noice? do they hear there's rythm, do they hear there's melody? maybe they actually enjoy it? and if they do, would they like some artists more than others? I used to have a dog, and sometimes when I played music he came to lay down next to a speaker. He seemed to like it, or maybe it was just a coincedence

There is no other explanaition for why my cats act the way they do sometimes when I'm listening to music. One of my cats nearly had a heart attach when The Amazing Sounds of an Orgy by Radiohead came on. I've always thought it would be really nice if you could have a chip put in your brain so that you could just have a constant dream running in your head, using part of your brain, and the rest of your brain would continue functioning, doing your job, feeding the cat, washing the dishes etc. but you'd be totally unaware of it.

Our cat Sophie always used to roll around on the floor when I played the first Garbage album. I don't think it was coincidence. It is actually possible to do all that stuff you mentioned about the washing up, etc, too. It's called being male Just don't expect any of the jobs to be done well.

I think dogs can hear the music. Chance seems to get settled and enjoy himself when I put Dar Williams on, but if he hears somethnig like James Blunt he may become slightly agitated.

I am trying to condition myself out of pointing out typos and grammatical errors, because apparently it's annoying.
