Today is Take a Hike Day! Now, there aren't many places near me that I would qualify as a genuine 'hike', as I always thought you need at least one good hill involved to no just be on a walk or a stroll. However, I did my best to find an at least somewhat bumpy path to hike on, and did! Being a complete dummy, I forgot to take any pictures or evidence whatsoever. However, since I was pretty much alone with my thoughts, I heard them quite clearly, and actually have a mental record of what I was thinking. So here is a brief look into what goes on in my head in the easiest way I could think of to do it. Script-form.
LOGIC (Pretty much the head honcho): Alright, guys, we've made it to the park. Quick check to see how everything is going. Everybody report.
DOC (Handles almost physical stuff): The stomachs still looking good thanks to the late breakfast, the neck's a little stiff from driving, though.
LOGIC: I'll have one of the interns tell the hands to get crackin' on that.
DOC: Great. The feet seem to be wondering why they aren't being covered up. The ground is still cold before noon.
LOGIC: Look, they kept complaining about shoes being too tight, so a vote was passed to forgo wearing shoes until the new ones came in the mail.
DOC: New ones have come. They're very comfy, if lacking in arch support.
LOGIC: Well, we'll have to call another meeting about that, then, he might have gotten used to going shoeless. Right now let's focus on the task at hand: Enjoying nature. EMOTICON, what's the feel out there?
EMOTICON (A robot built to process emotion (spoken in a robotic voice)): Everything looks very fresh and new with the morning dew on it. I especially like that tree that looks like a face. :) Otherwise, I'm not getting many clear observations yet.
LOGIC: Why not?
EMOTICON: It seems that the observation deck has not turned all it's systems on yet :/
LOGIC: What?
(LOGIC swivels his chair around to face SEPIA and RUSSET, who control the left and right eye respectively)
LOGIC: What's going on, you two?
SEPIA: We haven't had our coffee yet.
LOGIC: Kyle... doesn't drink coffee.
RUSSET: He doesn't, but we do. It's cliche of our character types.
LOGIC: ... Whatever. Drink some coffee then.
SEPIA: Aw, we can't imagine good coffee.
LOGIC: You've literally had a front seat to every coffee ever seen by Kyle. Do your best.
RUSSET: ...Fine
(Coffee appears and SEPIA & RUSSET drink it)
LOGIC: Alright. Anyone else have anything to report?
CHAOS (Nobody really knows what this guy does, but he's interesting, so they let him come to the meetings): Totally. Did you guys know that the Space Jam website is still up? The original one! I saw a tweet about it yesterday and thought I'd bring it up.
LOGIC: Thanks. That's great...
EMOTICON: The sunrise is so beautiful, guys.
LOGIC: It's 10:47...
EMOTICON. It was beautiful, though.
LOGIC: Good to hear. Log it into the memory files.
EMOTICONS: Well, we've seen better, to be honest.
LOGIC: Alright, well we'll just keep it on the table until it gets in the way, then.
ANXIETY (Tries to keep the brain free of clutter or duplicate ideas): Uuuuugh! The tables so full, though. Argh... I'll just throw out some character names from Chuck. He hasn't watched that show in a while.
LOGIC: I'm getting some readings of annoyance from the brain. Anyone know what the cause is?
ANXIETY: You're wel-
RUSSET (shouting across room): Yeah, there are some mosquitos out today. We're teaming up with the guys running the hands to care of it, but there's also gnats everywhere.
EMOTICON: Why do gnats always stay above the sidewalk?! >:(
LOGIC: It's fine, it's fine. We've got a good swatting method, and as long as we don't breath during the gnat clouds, we'll be fine.
SUBCONSCIOUS (Background guy): NO! I take care of breathing just fine! If you take over, he'll just hold his breath for fun again!
LOGIC: Calm down, you still have control of... is there a word for wanting to live?
SUBCONSCIOUS: You mean the thing I do when he holds his breath for too long and I make him start breathing before he passes out?
LOGIC: Yes. I don't think there's a word for that. Make a note to try to find one later.
ANXIETY: Ugh...
DOC: Oh I think I should mention that we do need to go to the bathroom.
LOGIC: It'll have to wait, he's still hiking.
DOC: Well, it's one of those times where I should have brought it up hours ago, but just found it on my desk and realized it was never taken care of.
LOGIC: (Heavy sigh) Alright, let's head back to the car.
END SCENE!
And that's how I think of my brain. There were actually a lot more subjects talked about between other people at the meeting, but I just gave you the really pertinent things.
Thanks for reading!
