Is it normal to want this?

A few weeks ago there was a post about free thinking. As the post was more about whether "free thinking" was normal, rather than a post asking people to express their thoughts as they came, I've been wanting to create one dedicated to the latter.

Although some users did this on said post (so in some ways this post is completely pointless and repetitive (sorry:P)), I'd still be interested in seeing the comments of those who didn't (and also those who did) take part.:)

is it normal to want the members of is it normal to write open and honestly without restraint? (And yes, that was an invitation for you to write whatever the hell you want, go crazy:P!).

    I just came back from a suave flat party in the middle of London, and I have come to the conclusion that a suit and tie with a cigar in one hand and a crystal glass of whiskey in the other is the way humans should dress, and wearing "civilian clothing" as I am now makes me feel nothing less than dirty. On the surface above me I have the remnants of a bottle of famous grouse, my last remaining cigar in its' own little tube, a hip flask and a crystal glass and I feel any person without a surface in their room garnished as such, should be re-educated at a private school and taken to Italy for a lesson in style. I wore a suit every day for 2 years in 6th form and I had never been happier, until last night, sat in a leather chair sipping whiskey and smoking a cigar, with a Frank Sinatra vinyl playing on the record player next to me. The only possible improvement to this scene is if it took place on a rooftop villa in the 1950's.

      I didn't think it was possible to like you even more than I did, simply for being a panda person, but that was hilarious and nicely written.

        Pop over to the other side of the world and share a cigar any time.

    I, am going to talk about my cat. Everyone loves cats, right? :}

    Anyway, I'm not sure what breed he is. The man who sold him to me, said: "He is just a common cat, he's not a pure bred." But something tells me he is wrong. Half of the employees are wrong; they never know what they are talking about. <.<

    Okay, he was right. He is not a pure bred, however, I like you to pretend he is because it makes me feel better about spending $117 on him. >.>

    I don't think it would have mattered if he was $257. I still would have bought him anyway, because there was no way on earth I would have left him after the way he showed so much interest in me. He was so happy to see me! It made me feel special, out everyone in the pet shop that day; he choose me! Sadly enough, I couldn't bring him home with me that day; I had insufficient funds...

    I had to leave him there for two whole days. I can only imagine what was going through his poor little mind when I left him. Not to mention those numb skulls were playing loud rock music! Animals don't like hip-hop or metal. They like jazz and classical music, like me!

    Carrying on. Finally, I had convinced my Mother to split the cost so I could buy him. So I returned to the pet shop two days after, so I could make my purchase. I was anxious because I didn't know if he would still be there by the time I got back.
    Lo and behold, when I made my way to the cages, I saw that he was still there and he was now determined more than ever to make me bring him home with me. Little did he know; I was already there to get him! He was trying to shove his head through the cage and he was looking and acting as sweet as he could. My heart melted and I was so happy that he was excited to see me again!

    See this really should be so much fun, only I'm retarded and the second I'm told to express my thoughts without having a specific thing to answer, my brain switches off, not only for future thoughts, but it erases like...the last minute or so and I have zero idea what's actually going on. I've actually in all honesty forgotten what the question was, and I KNOW that when I go back to read it, I will panic, and read it ten times, yet have no idea what it said.

    Then I freak out about actually hitting send, cos I don't want to look like an idiot (though tis inevitable) for not having understood the perfectly straightforward question. Sad fact is, I don't actually know what I think half the time, and I'm torn between feeling like a fucking moron, and being terrified of being caught out. Though the worst bit is, being asked something I know, but not being able to answer it for fear of looking like I don't know what I'm on about...which leads to me looking even more stupid.

    This is why I failed at school. Luckily, this fact amuses me now.

    Ah fuck, I have no idea what I've just done. Blah.

      I loved this:D! You know, I had the exact same problem when writing my profile, as I mentioned in my profile, haha:P.

      You're not an idiot, but you are amusing:P! It would be stupid to expect anyone to be thinking about something profound or whatever, because for most of the time, I think people's thoughts are just small, silly, random things. Which I just love:)! I love seeing how people think, and I hope more people join in. Maybe even I will, even though I'm the OP, haha. Is that terrible?

      Yay, thanks charli:D!

          Hmm, I probably will add my thoughts at some point. I don't imagine my thoughts will be as light hearted as they were the first time I did this, though. I feel different. You'll be getting a weird banana who's feeling a bit strange. Not sure if people will like it.:/

    Well I'm going to try and find some episodes of Most Evil because it's a great show and I missed about half the episodes I think. Because I work a lot and even when I'm home I can't sit still for more that a few minutes. Things always need to get done or I just feel too fidgety and I need to go do something. I could go smoke a bowl then I'll really get busy like go out in the yard for three hours to weed and mow and trim and all that. Work up a good sweat ya know burn some calories play with the dogs go back inside and do the dishes and vacuum then go back outside and pick up where I left off then I'll need to get something out of the van and realise its a mess so I'll start cleaning that and see something in there that belongs in the garage so I'll go put it away and I'll see my box of marijuana goodies again so I'll sit for a minute and hit the bowl and go back out to clean the van then my dogs will whine at me so I'll go play stick for a while and see a weed that I missed so I'll look for more that I missed and when I go to throw them away I'll see the van doors open and remember that I was still cleaning it so I'll finish that and go back inside probably drink some carrot juice out of the bottle then go take a pee wash my hands sit for a minute look in on this site leave some stupid comments then go back outside and start sweeping the driveway or something then the mailman comes by so I bring that inside and its bills so I put them down promptly and go back outside with the dogs again and see the puppy dug another damn hole but he looks at me with that face damn it all he's so cute and his whole body wiggles like crazy when he wags his tail and I just remembered I need to get his nuts cut off because my female isn't fixed either and I don't need no more puppies man. That was all in one breathe :)

    I felt a bit guilty about that one because I didn't know if I answered it correctly or not. Also, people started answering similarly after I posted, making the assumption I was right.

    I'd be worried about doing it again because I don't know if it'd be wise when I might consider other IIN members (as I'm doing as I write this, because I think I know who you are, so I'm thinking about you as I write this to you, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but maybe I wouldn't want every thought about every person here to be public, and I'd feel bad about doing it if I edited myself and wasn't entirely honest). So I don't know. Anyway, I guess you've already seen mine anyway so maybe the others should do it. :)

    • bananaface

      I'm behind this (well I actually put it under an "alias" who you know about, in order to avoid too many notifications), so I don't know if I'm who you thought I was. I'm guessing I was, because I'm always so obvious. Usually I'd be anonymous, but if I'm asking people to be open and honest, then I really should play along:P!

      Anywaaaay, feel free to join in if you want to. Although I wished more people had done it last time, I wasn't entirely sure if posting something like this would be annoying and repetitive to people here. But I did it anyway, and although you took part last time, you are always welcome to take part again:)

      Ever since that Gengar post I made I've been writing more posts than usual. And since I'm sick of the stupid posts these days, I'm trying to contribute some good ones to IIN as well. And since I can never think of ideas for posts, I kind of stole the other OPs idea:P.

      Sorry, I'm rambling! I won't edit this, though, because I want no editing here:D! Ahh who cares, though, I like the honesty:D I swear I won't delete this either:P

        I knew it was you. :)

        We also had the same idea. I now have a "notification kitty". :) I'm about to unleash a few stories too because it's been a while. Normally I think of one and five come straight after. It's like buses in my head.

        I'll think about joining in. It just might be a bit raw because that's how I'm feeling today. Or maybe that's a good thing to express and get out. I don't know. I need to make some food soon. Maybe I'll get my phone and narrate my thoughts while I cook. Always fun because there's a constant stream of weird people outside my kitchen window. :D

          Damn, am I really that obvious, ha!?:O Oh, never mind, I give up on trying to be anonymous!:P.

          Anyway, whether you decide to join in or not, it's cool either way:). Your thoughts were interesting last time, but I wouldn't want you to regret writing anything here, especially if you are feeling raw and might end up feeling like you've exposed yourself or whatever.

  • Thexoutcast

    I'm a loner in this thread. These people seem to know each other.
    A unit.
    and yet, without reason, I feel outcasted again.
    Like at school as I sat there in the corner desk at the back of the room, looking through my thick black hair, examining the faces of all the fucking geniuses in my gifted and talented class.
    I spot a girl. Blonde. Not usually my type but I like her and hate her at the same time. Her hair is long, wavy, and golden. She has glasses. I like that. She has perfect perky tits and the ideal body.
    Shit.
    My panties are soaking wet. I like her because she's cute. An ideal subject for my fantasies at night. I hate her because she'll never cooperate. I can't talk to her.
    I can't talk to anyone.
    I just stare into them. And when I'm not staring, I sketch images of disgustingly beautiful female nudity into my desk.
    By the time the bell screams for our departure, the desk is fully decorated with images.
    The next day the desk is clean and the cycle starts again.

    I like different celebrity's all time I move on very quickly. I liked Andrew Garfield and Now Ryan Gosling, when I like them I have to watch everything they are in, sometime I even write like a timeline about how I would meet them, at what age and when.By the time anyone see's this, I will probably be in Love with um..... I don't know we will wait and see and oh, Morgan Freeman narrates everything I think :)

Excited for this next episode of Dr. Who. Shit's about to get real. Like Dalek and Cyberman real. Shit's legit, yo. Why am I still typing? I don't know how long to bloody make this thing, shit. I hope my soup's not getting cold. Damn illness... apparently the best thing for one's health *isn't* getting drunk and sleeping in tents all weekend, go figure. Next time I go out there those damn kids aren't getting a drop of my alcohol.. so broke for the week... Motherfucker I need a job. If burger king doesn't call me back... I'm gonna do... something. Maybe order a bunch of food one day and use it to paint mean messages on the windows, I'll figure something out. Soup and tea are the best fucking things ever.

  • Paha. Good luck. Why would anyone want to speak their mind when if the majority don't agree with it, or use their emotions more than rational thinking, they are blasted and named all sorts of things?

    Why would anyone want to express their true opinions when all that happens if the majority dissagree is get blasted for it?

    If IIN was a book, the chapter for this generation of IIN users would be "Express your own beliefs, aslong as they agree with mine".

      Yawn. Why does ItDuz always make these silly rants. Yawn. I want a pigeon. What's that fish on the Little Mermaid called again? ItDuz reminds me of that fish. And of Ashleigh. I can't believe how similar they look. Maybe he could be a ninja. A funny one, though. He's hilarious now. Maybe fake too? I want some strawberries. I wonder what he'll think when he replies to this. Hi, ItDuz. I hope he joins in. Or do I? Hmm, maybe his head is all snarly grey swirls. Interesting. Maybe he'll reply something mean about me doing this. Oh well. It will make me laugh. He's funny now. I wonder why he jumped to that conclusion though. I never said anything about beliefs or opinions. Did I/? Maybe he's just bitter that people don't agree with him all the time. Aww didums. Poor duzzy. Yikes, don't even go there!

      • Do you usually read things that make you tired?
        I kept to the point of the topic, and I explained why a lot of users in which they may be implying may not express their thoughts without restraint, and I replied in a manner that explains why some people may not do that, and your reply is a fine example of it. You don't agree with what I said, and so it's a silly rant.
        You done the thing that I was explaining be the reason to why some people may have restraint from being open about their opinions.
        There are a lot of fish in that Disney movie, and I don't know who Ashleigh is, if she's part of that film, then I wouldn't know.

        Personally, I have no problem with people not agreeing with me, I admit to being wrong more than most on this site, believe it or not.

        I don't think you're trying to be negative with what you say, you never come across to me as someone like that, so I wouldn't get upset with you.

        Right now, I am torn between something. I thought this story was meaning as in expressing their opinions, not typing down anything that just comes to mind. If that was the case, I was going off topic with my comment.

        I might give it a try, but I assure you it'll probably be negative.

          Oh no, that wasn't aimed at you! I'm just very very tired right now. I'll probably end up yawning at least ten times before I finish this message. Oh, there's another one! Yawn:P.

          And Ashleigh is a friend of mine, you two are identical. It's scary.

          And it wasn't supposed to be negative. Like I said, I think you're hilarious. And I'm sorry I thought your rant was silly. Although, that shouldn't be taken to seriously, I chuck the word silly around a lot. You made a good point, but like I said in my thoughts, it seemed off topic and like you were trying to start an argument. I understand now that you weren't, but I didn't know that you misinterpreted the intention of the post:).
