I don't know why I like doing this, but I like to analyze songs or quotes.
if I am listening to a song I like, most likely I will try to figure out it's meaning or go on to sparknotes and see what it means. same for quotes that I see on tumblr, I like to try to see what the meaning is, try to figure out what that person was thinking at the time the quote was made
I also like to think it helps with writers block. gets the mind juices flowing. stimulates creativity and goes deep into your mind. it gets you ideas. well, it gets me ideas.
