OMG!!!! I did this with song lyrics!

I never knew anyone else who did anything like that.

I think it's one of the ways I got my typing skills up long before I was chatting on the internet. My son types like 60 + wpm with THREE fingers. One thumb and 2 index fingers, but he grew up online. I don't do it anymore b/c honestly I don't listen to music that much. Before I was diagnosed ADHD and medicated, there were 2 ways I drowned out the noise in my head - music and reading. I could read 300 pages a day. Yes, I'd drift off and read an entire page and have no idea what it said, but I'd go back and catch back up. And I could sit for HOURS with headphones on, since childhood, maybe watching the lights on the Christmas tree. Staring at the images on the album covers. I was putting records on the turntable when I was still young enough to want to play frisbee with them.

I also count in my head A LOT. I don't have to count to any specific numbers, but I'll catch myself counting my steps sometimes. Or when I'm blow drying my hair I will just count off seconds in my head. I would count to like 60 or 70 before I'd move on to the next section.

I'm thinking all the time as well, but we can attribute that to either the ADHD or Bipolar diagnoses as well.
