I have known for a while that I am governed by two separate and almost comically different entities both residing in the mass chaos that I call my mind/brain/soul what have you.
Most people have had their fair share of the age old pathos vs logos type battles of the brain but the endless power struggle between my hemispheres has always gone deeper than just thoughts and reactions. In fact sometimes I feel like two separate people; each with two separate and distinct sets of tastes in art, music, clothing, even decor.
An anecdote for explanatory purposes: me and my boyfriend matthew decided to redo his bathroom in a small way (aka buy new bathmats and shower curtains). My right hemisphere screamed for a purple satin shower curtain and plush turquoise bathmats and a design dram on the mirror but what ended up happening? My left brain took up the reins and we ended up with a tasteful brown curtain with matching cream bathmats. Ol' lefty is the queen of cream. Neutral is her shit. The rift travels to other areas of interest as well. Righty has wanted a tattoo since she was seventeen. Lefty allowed her some weird ear piercings along which kept righty silent for a while but not satisfied. Story of righty's life.
In any case, I believe the picture I've been painting of my consciousness has given you some insight into my psyche. The reason for this blog is to let my right hemisphere (whom henceforth will be called Eris) run rampant without fear of any left-brained interference, so without further ado, welcome to my quiver of whimsy.
