Comfort Zone

"My Comfort Zone: a set diagram" *leader pointing to the ENTIRE GLOBE* vs "Conveying my romantic interest in someone" *a highly perturbed Teddy, hiding behind a bush, tossing a crumpled note reading 'I like your boots' at a somewhat miffed Allison, donned in dinosaurs rain boots & the red umbrella from Pixar's 'The Blue Umbrella'...*



"Wow, you're so cool, just jumping in literally anywhere at the drop of a hat, like its nothing! Is there anywhere you don't just fit in?!..

CPP Genius Edition

"Note: I'm using the term 'Genius' here in the sense in which it is defined in Elizabeth Gilbert's 2009 TED talk. I highly recommend listening to the talk in its entirety, especially if you work in a creative field, but for the TLDR sensibility, the gist is that in 'Ancient Greece & ancient Rome...people did not happen to believe that creativity came from human beings,' but rather that it, 'was this divine attendant spirit that came to [them] from some distant & unknowable source, distant & unknowable reasons. The Greeks famously called these divine attendant spirits of creativity 'damons',' while the Romans, 'called that sort of disembodied creative spirit a genius." ~ ALLISON: "So you get that important email you were trying to write sent?" TEDDY: "I accidentally designed a decorative mask instead!"
My rationality & common sense: "All right let's just get this over with! Not even too bad, just need to hunker down and be productive for one quick burst..."

Scumbag creativity genius: "WHAT IF YOU HAD AN EYE, BUT WITH A G-CLEFT AS IT'S IRIS? WHAT WOULD THAT MOTIF LOOK LIKE PLAYED OUT!!!"



It is gonna be a really cool mask, though!..

Ease

Teddy: *washing hands in public bathroom* "Crap! Automatic soap dispensers..." ~ Teddy: *sticking hand under soap sensor, to have nothing happen* "See! This always happens! Nothing! And now I can't move my hand away 'cause it will definitely dispense ON TO THE FLOOR as soon as I do! Just have to sit here waiting like an idiot!" ~ *Teddy waits angrily, slowly waving hand beneath soap dispense as days and nights cycle past in the window* ~ Teddy: *conceding and moving hand back to faucet* "Sigh! Well I guess it really is brok--OH GORRAM IT!" *soap dispenser finally dispenses as soon as hand is clear*
"I feel like there have been really weird astronomical phenomena recently?
Like, did you notice half a dozen day-night cycles go by in the space of about 15 seconds just now?"
