I don't think my community has a specific location, other than something like "the Boston Area." My community differs in composition by context and occurs where it happens. My community is at the Buttery New Years party, and on Dreamwidth, and at Baitcon. My community is also who ever shows up for the social events that I hold. And I have another community that is the people on my street, connections strengthened by our neighborhood email list. And I have a loose network of connections from my work at Tufts, mostly centered around the Friedman Nutrition School.
Question 2: does this happen to you? What do you say when it does?
Depending on context, I think I've been known to say "ups and downs" or "life is very full." But lately "ok" is actually probably the most accurate response most of the time. It is not uncommon for me to be asked on Tuesday how my weekend was and to say "I don't remember." I increasingly have a separate brain for weekends from during the week.
Question 3: Does this happen to you, too? If it does, how does it fit with your world/self-view?
I have insights from time to time. It seems like a normal way for thought to occur: most of the productive stuff being unconscious. When I've been beating my head against a problem, I generally accept that the wisest thing to do is to get up and go for a walk and think about something else. Whether I actually do so is a different question...
