Found this on a lovely sunny evening, my very first find.

Think outside the boxes?

Hey, "Mouth"! Good to seeya!

How do "hobbies" get categorized with "past times, useful and useless"? I should think most past time would be not terribly useful, since it's gone...in the third box of that row I see "Habits,sexual eating, TV." What exactly is "sexual eating"? Oh, yeah, "social pastivity"...that's getting together with friends to eat pasta!

Sex with anyone...doesn't matter who, it's a whole different category. Does this mean that sex isn't even part of their life, or that the person is leading a double life? Or, that they've never had sex and they're desperate to--with ANYone?

ut it was clear that she'd missed the point: that tic-tac-toe requires Xs and Os. Once she got the hang of it, though, she was pretty much unbeatabl

Methinks you misread, Baby Basil. Pas-i-tiv-ity. I can't find it in my dictionary and can't even imagine what word they actually meant to use. Social passiveness? Not active socially?

I couldn't read the third box, second row. Thanks for clarifying. "Sexual eating" could mean the obvious. Or it could mean that dating ritual where the guy lavishes an expensive gourmet meal on the chick, with the expectation of being fully repaid later in the bedroom.

I'll take "sex with anyone" for $100 Alex.

Random in formation
Possible meanings for "social pasitivity":

—It's some strange new word like "funtertainment."
—It's supposed to say "positivity"?
—It's a kind of activity this person does with his/her friends that only they understand.
—This person cannot spell whatsoever and was trying to write "interaction."
—It's an art project... maybe involving paste or the past.
—Can we expect anyone who organizes their life into seven boxes plus "sex with anyone" to actually make sense?

spell in g
social pasitivity: misspelling of passivity, the rarely used noun form of passive?

as in, goes with the flow in all social situations?

Are the contents or the relative positions of the "Hobbies" box and the "Dreams" box in row two interchangable? OR does the double-headed arrow mean something else?


I'm think it's either a good thing or not (depending on the specifics, of course) that "sexual relationships" are in a different box from "relationships family & friends".


@ baby basil ... maybe it reads "Hobbies Past" coupled with "Times Useful & Useless"

Yay Helen, for your first find!!

Can't really read the little boxes, but all that interests me is what is written outside the box.
This person, indeed, is thinking outside the box.

Somehow I feel a bit out of the box today.
My stereo sounds a bit boxy today, too.
I guess all I need is sex with anyone.

I like the floor plan of this home design.

In particular what's going on in the backyard lanai area.

Also, intrigued by the secret passage idea between the "DREAMS, HOPES, DESIRES" room, and
the room for "HOBBIES, PAST-TIMES, USEFUL + USELESS"

Judging based on visual hierarchy, it appears that in the middle-right box, "sexual", "eating", and "tv" are subcategories of the box "habits" (sexual habits, eating habits, tv habits).

That's all I can really figure out. This is one cryptic find.

passerby in the scheme of things
This person wants to keep sexual relationships separate from work and relationships with friends and family...

Maybe he/she is reminding him/herself not to get involved with the hot coworker or the sweet best friend.

I think they just wanted to transfer useful and useless over. As in what hobbies and pasttimes are usefull or useless, and what dreams, hopes, and desires are usefull or useless. Habits might be the category with subcategories being sexual, eating, and television. Perhaps this is a sexual deviants 'things to work on list'.

I'm sorry, but does anyone else get extremely annoyed by the add on the side with the woman who looks like a want to be madonna?

@feeling incoherent!

Be careful... "Sex with anyone for $100" could get you in trouble with the law! Use a condom, too!

I like how sex with anyone is outside the box...the way it should be.

This makes me think of the French movie I saw last weekend, "Paris." Great movie!

In fact, I'm pretty sure this is the storyboard for that movie.

Yes! to Jane.

This looks like notes for some sort of psychology course. Maybe this person learns spaciously(sic or made-up word)?

Frottage in Meansville, USA
Not just sex with "someone," I need sex with ANYONE! I crave anonymous sex with strangers because my absentee father obviously loved booze and whores more than mom and me and thus I became a sperm receptacle to attract mens' attention and fill this painful void in my life. I may come off as a narcissistic harpy but deep down really I'm just a crying little girl.

Whore. Lulz. Now make me a sammich.

Wow, Frottage, thanks for being so brutally honest and sharing a little piece of your life with us. It explains a lot. With time comes heaing though. Stay strong, sweetheart.
