Who else could stare at a ceiling fan for hours on end? or just watch a cat play with a bug endlessly? Sitting in front of the computer without even clicking once? or just sitting on the phone with somebody without talking... i'm making this discussion and thats another one because i dont think anyone will respond, lol.

well,if u keep ur mind working ,these things shouldn't be listed as a waste of time.For instance,what if u find sth unique and important while u are staring at the ceiling fan?Like how could Newton's theory of gravity come out if he didn't keep staring at the apples on the tree?Anyone would consider his behavior as a kind of time wasting?

very true! But, unlike Newton, i'm not thinking of brilliant things, i'm mostly being distracted by something and thinking of a million other things that have to do with that. Kind of like a thought-chain thing i do. I hate it cuz i can never concentrate on homework tho... kinda like now...

lol, yes i am bothered by the pc again. I can't get these things off my mind because most of them are random and pointless. I can sit there and just stare at a butterfly and two seconds later be thinking about how good pizza is... lol, its my ADHD as doctors call it, but i call it personality

It's a habit, to stare at the ceiling ( well for me it's like you said, standing in front of the PC screen doing nothing, or admiring nature).
I don't think it's a necessity, who knows? All I know is I have a lot of things that I NEED to do, so I'm trying to cut back on dreaming...
