The Wonderful Human Brain

There are a lot of things in life that puzzle me. One thing, I  my brain, of course. I tend to confuse myself a lot, and sometimes things just turn into a mess trying to think out.

I have a dilemma. I think before I speak (which is obviously a good thing.) however, I think so fast, I begin to slur my words while talking because I'm trying to retain all the information coming through, that I must discuss. I swear people must think I'm on drugs or something.

I question everything. My teachers got so frustrated with me, they would either A.) give up on me and never call on me again B.) Charge me five cents per question, C.) limit the amount of questions I could ask, D.) or all of the above. I can't help that I have an inquisitive mind, that's just how I roll, deal with it.

Sometimes this can annoy my friends. For example...

I was at Olive Garden one day with a group of friends. I asked for a raspberry lemonade, and when they brought it, to my surprise, the drink was warm.

"What the heck?!" I cried, while picking up the glass and staring at it, trying to contemplate the reason in which the drink was warm.

"What's wrong?" Asked one of my friends, giving me a concerned look.

"My drink, it's warm." I said, confused.

"That's because they mixed powder into the water for it to become raspberry flavored." said my other friend, sitting across from me.

"But why?!" I cried, still perplexed.

"Amanda, it's just how it is." he said. "Don't question it."

"But WHY is my raspberry lemonade WARM?!" I shouted, making the table all go "Amanda, shhhh!"

I was angry to have never found the answer to that.

Another thing. My logic sometimes doesn't make sense to people.

Sometimes I can't really explain how I conclude things, stuff just snaps together in my brain, which is why I hate showing my work on math tests. So when I try to logic things out, they literally make no sense.

Basically, when someone gives me the same, confused, hard stare that everyone gives me when I try to reason things, I just say "don't question my motives." which is ironic to someone who questions everything in this world.

On that subject, sometimes my choice in actions seriously confuses people. I don't do things without a purpose though, and although they may be questionable, it all makes sense to me.

Don't question it.
