Curled up in a ball in the corner...
I'm a smart girl; scored well on standardized tests, top 10% of my graduating class, a respectable IQ.
But please, please, make the time travel show stop!
Make the crazy talk stop!
::rocking back and forth, humming loudly::
I just can't wrap my head around it; there's a total mental block. I could no more debate the scientific possibilities of time travel than I could the joys of reading Dante's Inferno in the original Italian.
It's not that I'm anti-sci fi/fantasy, it's just that it makes my head hurt. I'm just not wired for it, or at least refuse to make the connection.
I do, however, have The Time Traveler's Wife in my teetering to-be-read pile. That's more my speed I think.

haha, I don't know what show you're talking about...but I'm thinking I don't want to attempt to watch it.
You're too funny...I love your posts!
Time travel is a weird thing.
It IS possible to understand the concept, but we're kinda hard-wired to stick to cause and effect.
It's like, could I have travelled to the future in my first year at school, get all the answers to the exams from the future me who's learned everything...then just repeat parrot fashion on the test.
BUT...if I got all the answers, I wouldn't have learned them, and wouldn't be able to give myself the answers.
Or the old chestnut, go back in time and kill your own grandfather...you wouldn't be born. BUT if I wasn't born, I couldn't have killed my grandfather, which means I would be born, which means I would be able to go back...but if I did, I wouldn't have been born, which means I couldn't have...
Oh dear, I've gone cross eyed.
Mmmm time travel. (I have nothing useful to contribute today... which is par for the course)
I offered to draw her a diagram to clear up all confusion, but she wasn't willing.
Afraid her head would explode, I suspect.
...Of course you can kill your own grandfather - silly paradox theories!
Don't watch it Ashley, don't do it! And thanks for the ego boost :)
Paulius - thanks, now mine are too.
Kato, your mere presence is contribution enough.
MC - keep your diagrams to yourself there pal.
Astroboy - it's all just so... so... yeah.
