Anyway, I would want that power (if I didn't have the choice of flying or something extra cool like that). I don't know why, but I am completely and utterly fascinated by what other people think about. I want to know how their thoughts compare to mine, I guess, and why they think the thoughts that they do. I want to know how those thoughts influence the way that they feel about themselves and the world around them. I want to know how their life experiences influence their thoughts and actions. Maybe that is why I am constantly asking Jeff what he is thinking. And it bugs me because he always answers, "nothing". Honestly, who thinks about nothing all of the time? It is probably his way of trying to send me a hint or something...
Anyway, that is why I chose to major in psychology. And why I am persuing a degree in clinical psych now. I just think it is fascinating to explore other people's thoughts and feelings. But I think this is also why I love blogging so much. I love to read about other people's lives, and get a glimpse of their relationships. AND, because I might be the most anti-social person of all time, blogging is usually the only way that I get to see what is going on in other people's lives.
Does this make me a weird person? If so, then forget that you read this post, and don't tell me how weird you think I am now. I probably won't take it well.

If you are weird, then we are all weird and isn't it a lovely group! I love to read other peoople's blogs and only wish people would blog more.
I'm thinking I really don't want to know what others are thinking... having that clog my mind would be too much. And, what if I'm next to two people and their thoughts get transposed and I don't know which thought is which? :) Altough, I'd wished I had this power when I was a cop.
Haha that is some deep thinking Ron!
okay...i don't think you're weird. and talk about antisocial...i could not bring myself to go to an enrichment dinner last night. i'm a loser. and also, if i had a super power it would be eating whatever i want and still being skinny. i think you already have that power. i'm jealous. and send me your email cause i have a funny thing to send you. you will laugh. promise.
It WOULD be interesting! Either that or depressing. Perhaps less exciting than you might hope. Either way, sometimes I'd rather not know :)
I think this is why great books are so freaking fantastic, it's like spending a week inside a really smart person's brain.
Along those lines... this is a funny blog... http://superuseless.blogspot.com/
Reminds me of my favorite quote from The Gods Must Be Crazy. "Does the noise in my head bother you?" I'm gonna have to watch that movie this weekend.
