Hello! It's been quite a while since I've been on...I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. But anyways, down to business. I was visiting relatives when one day my grandma and I were, for whatever reason, talking about randomness. Together, we came up with something that we now call eThoughts. If you're having a conversation, and person one says "A," which makes you think of B, C, and D, but you say "E," it seems random to person one because they haven't thought through B, C, and D. Does that make sense? I hope so, because that's my new theory on why I make other people feel like I talk about and notice the most "random" things.

Also, has anyone else noticed that this happens to them? Just wondering..(;

Actually, yes it has.

I like your name for it. :D

That's happened to me quite often. Whenever I have an eThought, people tell me I'm getting off-topic, but to me it's still on-topic because of the associations I made in my mind.

Ditto. I also do this. If I'm having a conversation with someone and we both go off to do other things for a moment, I will pick up the conversation where it left off when I see the person again and confuse the other person with a statement that seems out of the blue to them because they were no longer thinking about the conversation.

Yay! I'm not alone! Thank you guys for saying that stuff-it's been bugging me (just a little, but still) that people don't always see that my "random" isn't actually random; at least for me. I'm so happy that I figured out an explanation. :D

By the way, thank you for the compliment on the name. <3
