Unconscious Mutterings #9

Free association is described as a "psychoanalytic procedure in which a person is encouraged to give free rein to his or her thoughts and feelings, verbalizing whatever comes into the mind without monitoring its content." Over time, this technique is supposed to help bring forth repressed thoughts and feelings that the person can then work through to gain a better sense of self.

That's an admirable goal, but for the purposes of this exercise, we're just hoping to have a little fun with the technique. Each week ten words are posted to which you can respond to with the first thing that comes to mind.

There are no right or wrong answers. Don't limit yourself to one word responses; just say everything that pops into your head.

Luna says . . . and I think . . .

1. Guest :: I love having guests or company over.
2. Impact :: You don't realize the impact you have on someone's life, especially your children, until later.
3. Unplanned :: Many pregnancies are unplanned. However, my son's conception and birth were planned in advanced.
4. Tactic :: Most people do not have the knack for being tactful.
5. Delayed :: Don't let a delay disappoint you. Take the time to discover something new.
6. Bombastic :: What a fun word.
7. Comfort :: I love being in the comfort of my home.
8. Trumpet :: Too loud.
9. Joe :: Most men I know named Joe (or John) are not good people.
10. Budget :: Yes, I have a strict budget.
