Caffeine-free coffee is just awful, but maybe that's an option for you if you really do just enjoy the taste?

Either way, it's good to free yourself of addictions and realise you can enjoy something in moderation.

But now I don't have the option of choosing the flavours I like from my coffee machine which sucks.

I'm starting to think being addicted to some things is ok. I mean yeah three coffees and slowly progressing to four a day is not a very good thing. It's no longer for enjoyment but rather reliance. I think I will enjoy the coffee just on weekends at least. Thankfully I'm a tea lover, that kind of helps.

I feel like you just extracted my thoughts and put it in words, which btw freaks me out. No joking here but I took out some blue, and green and pink crayons and textas and I showed my four year old the colours and then tell him to point to the shade he thought it was from an online colour palette to see if we think the green he sees is the same as mine. Yes, I'm insane

No, not insane at all! It's pretty interesting to think about really, I actually really vaguely recall learning about this at uni but of course remember nothing, maybe I'll research it later for an exciting Friday night.

I mentioned that one of my brothers is partially colour blind and he inverts certain shades, so he really does see the world differently to me. For example, he says sometimes my eyes look like they're purple.

But what if I have it wrong?!?

Oh yeah fair enough. If you can still enjoy it in moderation then you totally should. There is science to support regular coffee consumption anyway, it's not as black and white as other things.

Speaking of crazy thoughts, sometimes I think that people are following me and that they plan to capture me.

Your brother could be part of this research. I think I might join in this too. I'm really fascinated now, it's the colour version of what we see in pics in a way. Like that pic where some saw an old woman initially but others saw a young girls profile. I wonder whether our eyes show us one thing but once we know the truth we see it in it's true form, but why can we not see the image as it originally was?! The mind is so powerful

You are now reading my mind as I seriously had both of those thoughts. The mind is indeed a powerful and fascinating thing. Even the lowest functioning people still have amazing minds.

Here's a fun colour test that I did a few weeks ago. :)

http://www.xrite.com/online-color-test-challenge

I did really well on it, which I was very surprised with because I felt like I was really struggling with it! I think my score was 12. (it's one of those "the lower the number, the better" type things)

I love online tests!

Here is a speed reading test. I got 1018 words per minute on the level 13 test.[DOUBLEPOST=1425030803][/DOUBLEPOST]

I'd say so. All this fuss over a shitty photo on the internet. Newspapers? Tv news? Really????? Wonder what everyone in Gaza thinks...

White and gold probably.

Well I got a perfect score so that dress must have been some sort of black magic messing with my vision.
