since the neuro paper is on friday, i have another neuro analogy about myself. even if you couldnt care less about me, take it as a lesson in neuroscience, which is pretty cool if you dont have to memorise long names like dorsal column medial lemniscus pathway.
ALLODYNIA
situation in which non-noxious stimuli ie touch, causes pain.
under persistant strong stimulation (me in a lousy mood because of a whole day of studying for example), wide dynamic range(WDR) neurons of the spinal cord change such that they are now able to be stimulated by non-noxious stimuli like touch (anyone who does anything that i just cant stand at that point in time. these things arent even a legitimate cause of distress.) under normal circumstances, WDR neurons never respond to noxious stimuli. (if i were rational these things wouldnt even bother me in the least.)
point is, this is a problem of the CNS (me) not the non-noxious stimuli(other people). so do pardon me.
this is how sick i am of studying, and how much of a nerd i've become. i hope i dont keep coming up with analogies like that for the rest of my life. it reeks of.. no life.
on another note, i want. so many things. some things i cant have, ever. some things i cant have, now. some things are there for my taking, i dont know why i'm not going for them. i want for people to read my mind, for things to happen exactly the way i envision them. i am being completely ridiculous here i know, for no one knows what's going through my mind, except me. still, i will not ask i will not beg i will not hint i will not suggest. because otherwise it defeats the purpose and i just feel so damn demanding and what if i just made you do something you didnt really want to do for me but you were just inclined to because its only polite?
to my friend, who thinks he knows what i am talking about sometimes: my posts might not be as direct as yours, but sometimes what i say is only about this, or that, or whatever, too. :)
thus the second lesson my friends, don't read too much into what i say, its just my excess thoughts at the end of the day, when i am not too coherent.
