Forget Brainstorming →
toldorknown: Brainstorming in a group became popular in 1953 with the publication of a business book, Applied Imagination. But it’s been proven not to work since 1958, when Yale researchers found that the technique actually reduced a team’s creative output: the same number of people generate more and better ideas separately than together. None of us are as dumb as all of us. (via...

So, poly...
Complicated subject really. And one that I’m not looking for a lot of answers from. I’m not especially interested in other people’s definitions, and if I want to know people’s experiences, then I’ll probably ask, or look them up myself. I’m not looking for community, or support - I’m just writing this down because I want to get it out of my head. It...

Control
So, control. We all want it, whether we admit it or not. In our own ways, we all want to control the world. Note, not rule - though some people do - but control. We each want the world to work in a particular fashion that suits our sensibilities. And when it doesn’t we get annoyed; we lose our tempers; we lash out. Everything comes down to control. When we can’t control what’s...

Rather than fill this tumblelog with pictures, I’m putting them in a side blog. It’s pictures that I find that I like. Usually of a sexual nature.

Comfort zones and sticking my neck out
I’m writing this on my Tumblr account; and once again I feel more comfortable writing it here than I do writing it straight onto my LJ. Bit weird really since I’m only going to put it there anyway. But it seems that posting this sort of thing straight to LJ is a little out of my comfort zone. Weird. Anyway, that’s not the main thing I wanted to say. I’m not sure how to...

Bad experiences.
This is something that’s been plaguing me for a long time now. And I have to say, I think I’ve reached the point where I feel comfortable posting it online. At least, I feel comfortable enough to take the leap and post it. As I type this, I’m not sure what I’m going to do with it. I’m typing it on my Tumblr blog and I plan to post it on my Livejournal as well, but I...

Awesome day so far.
I have not had the best of mornings, nor does it look like I’ll have a favourable rest of the day.  I have an informal chat (read informal interview) with a prospective employer at 4pm on the other side of the city. Now, this would not usually be a problem, but I’m slightly worrying about what to wear, and I have a slight issue of lack of money.  To be succinct, because I moved, the...

The fun of other people.
Yesterday, I had enthusiasm for a character concept which required some (read “a lot of”) approvals to work, but I was fine with that, and everything was good. Today, I have no enthusiasm for it, feel vaguely depressed and wonder why the hell I bother trying to do anything. In fact, the only concept I now have enthusiasm for also requires a fair few approvals, but has the advantage...

Trips
But even then, the idea of having a random trip to Ireland, say, just for the hell of it. I mean, say that me, you, Richard and Hannah decided to go away for a weekend together and we put together the trip and planned it and just went away to County Cork for no other reason than we felt like it. That kind of thing. Even planned out, just that getting a group of mates together and going somewhere...

Drugs and me
So I’ve been prescribed Diclofenac Sodium (I still think there should be a ‘y’ in there somewhere…) and I have to take it three times a day with food. Now, the implication here is that you eat three times a day to begin with, and that those times are fairly regular between days, etc. Me, I usually eat twice a day. And I usually have largish portions, so I don’t need...
