Numbers. Bloody numbers. In my head, there are numbers constantly buzzing about. Equations, sums, puzzles … music. Always numbers. At times it is infuriating. I want to be able to turn off my brain and attach a little sign to my ear that says “Out, back again when I give a fuck”.

I don’t know if this is something most people understand. I’ve talked to others about it and they look at me like I’m nuts. Even my hobbies seem to revolve around numbers and patterns and equations. When I can’t get my head to shut up, I try watching movies in my head. I usually try to pick a movie I haven’t seen in a long time on the tv and replay the whole thing start to finish in my head. I try to conjure up as much detail as I can. When I feel really ambitious, I try to choose movies with a lot of witty banter. These are tougher. For the most part, I can remember everything I see, but I have a tougher time remembering everything I hear. Does that make sense?

Here are the top 3 movies in my head:
1. Wizard of Oz
2. Ghostbusters
3. Monty Python and the Holy Grail

These are memory games my parents taught me when I was a baby. I still play them.

I suspect that it’s these things that make me barking mad.
