It's a good thing that you don't have to remember to breath, or I would be a goner!

Gads! Absent minded like answering the phone and going to get the person the phone was for and then forgetting and leaving them on the line?
or absent minded like repeatedly walking into the same class at the wrong hour until the teacher threatened to take disciplinary action?
or absent minded like....um driving a van into a ditch?

Actually I can be kinda vigilant at times...and will remember things that no one else would have thought of...most of the time though the opposite is true.

Yea, I always get spaced out. I'll just find myself staring at the wall blankly. Concentrating on something I'm suppose to do or when someone is talking to me. I get distracted very easily which has been a problem on this forum actually. It'll take me like 10 or 15 minutes to complete short little posts like these.

I can go either way..either im extremely focused and figue out things before most or I am stuck with the puppy dog look with my head tilted to the side...

Guess it depends on my overload level..
