What do you daydream about?

OrangeCrate · 05-24-2007

When my mind goes into neutral, I often think about past backpacking trips.

I don't daydream much anymore. These day's I find myself reminisceing more or just enjoying the present. I used to daydream often when I was younger. The authorities in life didn't like it much. If I were to be caught looking out a window during school, daydreaming about being a friend with some animal or flower, suddenly, I would hear "HEY ROBERT, PAY ATTENTION, OR YOU WILL HAVE TO BE PUNISHED". That taught me to resent authority and dislike cultural structure more than I want to.

Today, we rob children of their ability to daydream and be innately creative with pills. Such a shame!!

I only daydream when I'm away from my PC, and then it's either about:
1) Playing a new game I just found which I can't stay without playing.
2) Wishing I was 16 so that I can use the money my Mom saved to buy that new car :P

I often daydream about some physics thing, or how you can things make things in principle. Also (embarasingly) i sometimes daydream of being, well, sort-of-rambo. (nah different really, but a hero basically.)
I also think about darwinbots(.com) sometimes, like making a worm-bot. (I tried a little, cant get the tie-connections to work, although the manner of communication is simple as can be :/) Or about all kinds of things that can be programmed in principle, but i never get to actually program them. There is too much of those idea's for one, and although the principles of working in my head often work. (even programmed them) I often miss that i need other principles too, and also I never seem able to put them together.
I hope my luck with common lisp is better then with c++. I actually started to dislike the classes of C++, calling things member functions seems silly to me now, unless it is really only gaining simple information from a class. (sure, in a member, it saves writing, but note lisps '(with-slots (..)..)' )
Lately, this forum is in my head often too.

Hard to say, I don't really day dream all that much, I do think about things (like my crazy idea of putting evo engine and running gear into a crx, 400hp per tonne ftw!) but I've had quite a lot to concentrate on since I've been at uni.
Occasionally my mind slips into thinking how awesome it would be to do some sort of crazy heroic atc.
