The house of tokyokitty: This life

"A Freudian slip, or parapraxis, is an error in speech, memory, or physical action that is believed to be caused by the unconscious mind."

An example of this could be calling your wife by another name? I think the sub conscious and the unconscious have a large baring on your behavior.

Which is why i think Freudian slips are more then issues with grammar production which is what most cognitive psychologists try and sell. Freudian theory puts emphases on the repressed sexual desires that manifest as physical behaviors.

The experiments that have been carried out on the subject all point to the very likely possibility that Freudian slips to exist. An experiment in 1992 by Jacoby tested the incorrect response rate to people who were caused anxiety of a shock and sex compared to a control group that showed that both showed twice as many "slips" as the norm.

So Freud in 1901 with no proof at all could have been onto something. The idea that all boys want to kill their father to get with their mother might not have caught on as well, but definitely i think Freudian slips are something to look out for.

So girls next time your boy calls you another name, keep your eye out on him. And boys, when your girl is accusing you of it, say it's your sister's name !

So last month I had quite a busy month, lots of work to do, assignments to finish and places to go. I didn't manage to upload many pictures onto my blog.

Which is sad, cause i know when I'm looking back in a year, I'll think "gee my august 08 must have been dull"

I keep this blog here because i want to be able to look back and see what i was doing, thinking and feeling later on in life.

I look back at my livejournal blog once in awhile and it still trips me out the way i saw things back then, how i wrote and my general inferences about life.

Not to mention all the pictures that i dont even remeber that remind me of the good times i had in high school.

Makes me quite nostagic *tear tear*

So im going to do everything i can to continue to write everything down, no matter how trivial and boring ! because i know one day im going to look back and think gee .. my life was so interesting back then *ahem*

But for now, a picture is worth a thousand words ..

My August in pictures !
