You've identified in that statement one of the things I seem to
   have a fundamental 'flaw' with; identifying the most interesting
   parts. I have a categorization problem.

   Fought it my whole life. I see so many categories; so much
   potential cross-referencing. I can't help but see things in
   multiple contexts simultaneously and really, it's kind of
   annoying; it's kind of a handicap really but I try to make the
   best of it.

   I tried to trace back the problem.

   In school, standardized testing I'd get 99.999-whatever% on
   everything except for one: Comprehension. I think it's English
   comprehension or something like that. I'd always get around 60%
   I noticed it in elementary school, middle school, high school;
   on all of the Standardized tests.

   I remember the questions: It was things like "What was the
   author's intention?" "What is the main point of paragraph 3?"
   things like that.

   I have a high vocabulary; I can read anything and understand it.
   I've gotten better at comprehending intention through the
   decades since school. But I usually come up with answers that
   are *different* than standard answers. It's almost as if I have
   an avoidance for the "normal interpretation". It's in front of
   me, but I just don't see it.

   Hence, categorization. Categories are fluid things to me; not
   hard and fast. This flaw, while it never affected me negatively
   in most of life, nevertheless is a stumbling block I bang my
   head up against whenever I try to tackle it.

   Show me black and white and I ignore them and focus on the line
   inbetween and wonder what's under the tiles and how are they so
   shiny. Stuff like that.

   Sounds nice. But it's a pain in the butt, honestly. *sigh*.
   Sorry for ranting. It's one thing to say "be different" but to
   *be-different" and know it and not really even have a name for
   it? A pain.

   *sigh* Oh well. Sorry for the rant but I use every response I
   make to learn _something_ about myself, even if it's veiled in
   other ways. I don't have really have any other intentions when I
   start writing - I just.. write and know I'll learn myself a
   little better through whatever the output is; and I hope
   something I write helps someone else in some way with
   themselves.
