Oh, something else that occurred to me this weekend, almost verbatim:

SWEET MERCIFUL MOTHER OF ERIS, I DID NOT NEED TO KNOW THAT.

*would kick the faintly smirking Dr. Spengler muse living in the back of her head if she weren't afraid her foot would dematerialise in the process*

Some days I hate my brain. Especially the part where it starts answering old theatrical_muse questions on its own.

[mephron]

what was the question? Don't need to know the answer, just wondering about the question...

[camwyn]

"How did you lose your virginity?"

[mephron]

You're right, I did not need to know that about Dr. Spengler.

[camwyn]

Told you. I hate my brain.

[mephron]

YES.

Knowing Egon, it probably involved slime and physics.

On consideration -- ick!

[camwyn]

I do not think I can say this enough: I did not need to know.

The answer I got wasn't as bad as it could have been. But that doesn't change the fact that I still didn't need to know, especially when I was trying to drive in slush and find a bleedin' legal alternate-side-of-the-street parking space. DAMN YOU, BRAIN, I NEEDED THOSE NEURONS.

Your brain ambushed you with squick-fic?

You know the solution to that, right -- pass it along to someone else!

[camwyn]

I've already told two people about the specifics of the idea, and they agree that it's plausible. one of them said I could probably get a pretty good fanfic out of it. However, I'm not particularly interested in writing that sort of thing just now. Maybe later, if I feel like punishing my brain for abusing the trust I place in it.

[mephron]

Is the ingestion of boozahol indicated to cure the pain?

[camwyn]

Given that I don't normally drink, I don't think that would be a very good idea. My liver would join up with my brain in protest and inflict worse on me, I think.

[mephron]

Mm. True. It just seems like most of my friends have a 'oh god I thought that give me alcohol to burn those neurons away'.

We could get you a NanoZim....

[camwyn]

In the end, I suspect any brain-altering measures taken would prove counter productive. They might remove the memories or something, but it would ultimately be like what Pterry said about deaf composers. Not being able to hear doesn't free them from hearing the music. It just means they no longer hear the distractions.

*Has seen the question in posts above.*

*Is very, very glad she's still a virgin.*

[camwyn]

You're almost certainly better off that way, hon. Someday the person you love most in the world will appreciate it.

[truebluespark]

Same here. There's just so much less to worry about.

*giggle* Brains just aren't worth it unless you fear them at least a little. And at least your pup wasn't broadcasting images of the process into the rest of your brain.

...Oh, wait, he did. My condolences.
