Psychological Questions

Ah, sitting down at the computer, typing at my blog. Staring at the artificial image created by the computer screen. Falling asleep as I ty

Waking up again. Wishing I had some candy to eat. Wondering what it would be like to live in Iceland. Thinking about what I am going to type next.

Like my recorded chain of thoughts? An art teacher would be proud of me. Anyway, I was thinking that maybe sometimes the first word that comes into your head, when asked an emotional question, shows what you really care about. However, I am starting to believe that that is a false theory. Your emotions show what you really care about, not random, meaningless thoughts. I think the same thing about those little ink splotches that psychiatrists show their patients. If the patient says the first thing that comes to his mind, but is just rattling off what he sees, and feeling no emotion, then it probably doesn't mean anything. It might show what topics have been in the patient's recent discussions and study, however; although even this doesn't seem foolproof.
