If I didn't have to sleep, I'd stay up all night...

It's not a new revelation to me, because I have realized this for years now, but I am officially an information junkie. I was an info junkie before the internet, and since then, KAPOW!, all of a sudden, anything I've ever wondered about is readily available and ready to be absorbed. It's amazing, really.

I used to go through encyclopedias -- not from cover to cover; I wasn't that hard-core -- and just try to understand and process what was in front of me. Some stuff was easily processed, other stuff, not so much, but that didn't stop me from exploring the hundreds, even thousands of pages of knowledge that I had readily accessible at my fingertips.

Of course, magazines were a quick fix, too, but some topics that I wondered about often weren't in magazines. The topics were quite often touched upon, though, or a sister topic was printed, thus fueling my craving for knowledge and briefly satisfying my curiosities.

Sometimes now, in the evening, I'll find intriguing capsules of information, and that page may link me to another topic, and that topic to another site, to another page, etc. At times, I'll become so immersed in the influx that I just almost hate to stop and go to bed!

I even love 'useless information' or 'useless trivia', as it is often referred to. I'll never ever use the info in any situation in life, but I may make someone go 'hmmmm', and I'll be creating a contagion!

Now if I could just find instruction on how to develop a photographic memory, I'd be all set...
