.....hi!

Oh i like some routines....

but i notice something!

an example.

I once worked at a university library[FSU]

and i would go to the Sweet Shop for breakfast every

morning before work. i always...for near a year...had

a CERTAIN kind of bread fo toast.

always the same.

then one day, after about six months of this good

bread.... i began to notice that the taste was

changing! i wondered about that...the taste slowly

became more and more " chemical' tasting! is the bread

ruined...did corperate greed take over??!

i then saw...NO! the bread still was the same.

what was happening was that my brain had become so

" used " to the *exact-every-day-same-taste* that it was

no longer noticed...much like when ya come into a

kitchen and smell strong onions cooking...but after a

while the smell is not sensed any more.

but this happened over a long period of time.

so....what i was now tasting was the " underflavors "

that were in the bread that were beneath the other

flavors...the preservatives...the vitimens...the other

stuff.

MORAL: the brain [for me, anyway] has a wiring in it

where if anything is done exactly the very same

everytime for days...months..years...

some kind of process occurs where a kind or " BOREDOM "

sets in and the very same activity then becomes

" twisted " in some way...

thus...there is that conflict between the need for

sameness...in people's activities, and the need for

new experiences. but in a ASPIE?!

well, since the need for unchange IS so much the

more...then this other need, that is programed into

the brain, for change...gets pushed back into denial

until it bursts forth. like as if an aspie, maybe,

would " suddenly " quit his job...for " no reason " except

for a vague unease.

thus...i think...the key to reconciling all of these

two NEEDS...is to have a diversional change WITHIN a

stable framework!

like...

------walk to work everyday?

take a different route every so often.

------the same living room furniture for ten years?

once every year, buy ONE new piece of furniture,

or else just move one piece once in a while!

-----the same breakfast day after day??

eat something that changes..like of eggs...from

day to day, whil keeping it the same.

If i owned a pizza parlor...i would have six recipies

for pizza and change in rotation the recipie every

three months. then my customers will not TIRE of the

same pizza and go elsewhere to eat!
