Ponderin' the Normies

So, it's early, and I'm wondering something: what's it like for normal people?

Now, I'm not saying I'm not normal, I'm not a guy, and I don't do guy things. Whole other concept here. Because I noticed something a day or so ago; people listen to music for the music.

Mind was blown.

I don't think I've ever listened to music because it was, in fact, music. Usually when I hear music, I immediately start creating a scene in my mind that fits the music. Some of my favorite things have been written this way.

Now, this got me thinking... what do they think about all the time? If you look at me, at any given moment, I'm most certainly thinking of a story. Be it a new one, or one I'm working on, or just going over an older one in my head. If you see me, I'm daydreaming about a brand new story. Whether I'll save it, write it, or just store it away in my brain.

No matter when, where, or what I'm doing. It's probably why I tend to forget things, I'm never really fully focused on anything. I remember playing Zelda, and making up my own lines for Link, his own reasons for why he did anything. Everything was being written in my own head as I played. When I played games like Elder Scrolls, or really any RPG that you make your own character, I didn't just play along with the story; I made the story.

So, it's weird is all I'm saying. Thinking about how people might think... are they thinking of what they'll do today? What they did yesterday? What about laundry? I can't be bothered to focus on that, I've got this great idea in my head that's bursting at the seems about a sniper...

... who hunts vampires...

... after the apocalypse...
