Notice: After writing this post, I didn't realize how disjointed it was actually going to be. This is a one-way ticket into my thought processes. Don't expect any fireworks.
I find myself writing because I want to write, not that I have anything to write about.
Do you ever have that problem? I often run to the computer momentarily inspired, but when I reach my desk, I stare at the evil blinking cursor for 30 minutes with only the words "I hate you cursor" inscribed on my computer screen.
Do you ever search for random things on the internet? For example, because I started two consecutive paragraphs with questions, I decided to bold each beginning question to make it seem like I premeditated the idea. However, I ran out of ideas for questions (sad, I know). I just searched for "question words word list." I'm trying to keep those people at Google on their toes.
Have you ever used the word "premeditated" in a sentence? I feel like such a nerd.
Why Randomness #1 and not just Randomness? I suspect this isn't the only time my brain will fail me when my hands want to write. [Ten minutes later and I still can't find a (appropriate) joke to go with how opposite my brain and my hands are.]
Do you ever have to type around your cat? I do. (Yes, I am doing it now.)
Are your posts always linear, or do you jump around in thoughts? Not one of my posts have been linear. I'll start a paragraph, get a good idea completely unrelated to the one I'm working on, and the write it first before I finish the previous thought. Wait, what? I'm lost ...
Do you laugh at yourself? I'm laughing my ass off right now at this post. Boy, I wasn't kidding when I said "randomness."
Do you ever count your losses? I think I'm going to count my losses on this post idea and stop while I'm ahead (if that is even still true). The funny thing is, this is how I actually think. I just never let anyone in my head.
I'd like a psychoanalysis on this post -- anyone?

Hmm...psychoanalysis? Emphasis on "psycho"? ;)
So, the cat on the lap thing. Wait until you have kids and one or two of them want to be on your lap while you type. A tip for the future: 9-month-olds are very grabby. And toddlers can figure out how to change your screen orientation from landscape to portrait. (I had to turn my laptop 90 degrees just to read the Google results I got on how to get the orientation back to normal.)
My word verification: piturb. Do you find yourself piturbed when you have writer's block?
Enough rambling for me. Seemed appropriate for your random post though.
Enjoying your blog. :)
