The Thread for Intermittens #3: Weirdness

[Cain]

Those grammatical corrections sound good.  Since I wrote this mostly late at night, when tired or mentally altered, I knew it wasn't entirely finished.  I can do them, or, if the editors would be so kind, they could make the corrections when it goes into the download.

Also, I'll pass you a download to my notes, when I've finished compiling them.

I defy anyone to write that many words and not make a couple of mistakes and proofing your own shit is a hiding to nowhere, since your brain does that "I know what's coming next so I don't have to actually read it" thing.

Also I'll be most appreciative of the notes. Spreading this kind of insanity is my raison d'etre.

[Cain]

Yeah, there is that too.  Thats why I advocate font and format changes.  You catch em a lot easier when it looks like another piece of writing.  I'll set you up the link once I'm done, though since I'm finishing my research proposal this weekend, it may not happen for a few days.

LAST CALL!  LAST CALL!

I'm going to be doing some major construction on this bad boy today.  So, I'm saying today is the last day to get anything in that you want in this issue. 

IIRC, Cram you are putting together the 101 Things to Make Someone's Day Weirder, or is someone else doing that now?  Whoever is doing it, just shoot me a PM when it's done and where and how to find it.   

That's all for now.  Stay tuned for futher developments. 

[AFK]

I need moar graphics.  So far I have 000's comic, and a couple other images that were submitted.  I could go find some myself, but, well, I'm lazy.  Post or link some eye candy. 

Yeah, I'm looking at you WOMPers. 

[Cramulus]

sniff around at: http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=18902.0

[AFK]

Oh yeah, forgot about that one.  Thanks. 

[bds]

My entry will be done by tonight.

Just gimme another coupla hours, i'll be done by this evening (Britspag time)

[AFK]

That will be fine.  I've just copied and pasted everything intoa document.  It'll take me another few days to do the formatting.  But if you can get it done today, that would be awesome. 

[Dysfunctional Cunt]

You have ours right?  Jenne's and mine??

[AFK]

Yep.  She PM'd it to me.  It's like Ragu, it's in there.  Or is it Prego? 

[Cramulus]

RWHN: the [very cleaned up] 101 things article is here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FI0Q9CZW

For your ease of insertion (heh heh) I've included it in a variety of formats, but I think the PDF is the only one that captured the headline fonts.


VOILA

[AFK]

Hmm, yeah, that's alright.  I think I know how to make it work. 

[Dysfunctional Cunt]

Yep.  She PM'd it to me.  It's like Ragu, it's in there.  Or is it Prego? 

I hope it's better than jar sauce! 

[bds]

Uh, here is my entry.
It's the first piece of writing I've done in a long time; and I don't really like it that much, but still...
It's basically a story that I dreamt up so I didn't just have a dream interpretation article.

I also think it's missing something, but I don't know what, so if you have any suggestions, feel free to post and I can edit.

----------------------------------OFFICIAL TRANSMISSION---------------------------------

Transmission from:
Dr. Karl Bliffingburg
Psycho Re-Evaluation Sector (Low Int. Division)
Dept. of Health.

-To whom it may concern,

My name is Dr. Karl Bliffingburg. I am the overseeing doctor at the North Eastern Offices of the Department of Health. We currently have over 200 patients in the North Eastern Facility, with varying degrees of LIDs (Low Intelligence Disorders). One of our most promising patients is codenamed Patient X. His intelligence score, as tested by our specialised three day rigorous mental examinations was actually so low as to be below the bottom end of the scale. He didn't even register on the computer aided self-tests, and has bamboozled even our most experienced doctors and professors. Attached to this transmission is his most recent creative writing test; we asked him to write about his dreams to examine his own account of his subconscious. What you must understand before reading this is that our patients are not merely stupid, or have a low IQ. Their brainwaves are actually of a lower frequency than an average human being. The potential ramifications of this are huge; hence our large government budget. I will leave you to make your own decisions on the following.


Yours,
Dr. Karl Bliffingburg.

Lactose Tolerant – A Glimpse into the Subconscious of a Borderline Simpleton.

Beings of higher intelligences, greetings!

So, for this, my most recent "assignment" I have been asked to keep what it is, in effect, a dream diary. I tend to have a certain lucidity with my dreams, that is, I remember them very well, significantly more than most people. Whether this is a product of my uh, condition, or simply a genetic thing is unclear. To take advantage of this, Dr. Bliffinburg decided to ask me to keep this dream diary, for him to effectively take a peek into my brain's subconscious.

The dream where I'm being chased by Anne Robinson on stilts holding a guitar.

There's not much to this dream, really. I'm being chased by Anne Robinson through a usually familiar location, although sometimes it's a place I don't recognise. She's on stilts, but running surprisingly fast and waving a guitar around threateningly. It's kinda scary, really. But, anyway, according to the book the Doc gave me, a chase dream is supposed to signify feelings of anxiety and worry in my life. To be honest, I don't really think I am anxious or worrying. I'm perfectly happy here in the Facility, I'm progressing well and everything is generally good...

But then, maybe there is something. A little nagging something. Occasionally, after a bad day, or if I'm tired or really thinking, I get this feeling. A feeling of emptiness, of desolation. That there's something missing in my life. And I can't put my finger on exactly what it is.

I'm still not sure what the stilts and guitar signify though...

The dream where I'm falling down... and down... and down...

This dream is another pretty basic one too. I'm falling down, through the sky. I always wake up before I hit the ground though, as per the cliché, so I don't know what's at the bottom, but I suspect it would probably hurt. According to the Doc's book, dreams that involve falling are an indication of insecurities, instabilities and anxieties. Again, I can't really think of anything obvious about my life that reflects this. I assume the reason I continue having this frankly terrifying recurring nightmare is a sort of sense of impending doom. Like what I mentioned earlier, I think my subconscious is secretly terrified of life outside the facility. It's funny, because as much as I hate it here, as much as it freaks me out having to be tested constantly, I'm actually really scared of what's going to happen when I finish the course, when I'm realised back out to the outside world.

... And I honestly don't know how I will react.



Well, the Doc said to keep this short, so I have. The above are my top recurring dreams, and also those which I feel mean the most to me at this time. I hope these prove helpful in the studies of this Facility.
