Hello, my name is Eliza, and I'm an Autopensologist....
A wha???????? What is THAT!!??? OK, again, quick aside: I tend to make up wordages that seem to fit more closely what I mean to say and say to mean even...after all, according to William Saffire, American English seems to be the only language at liberty to allow the freedom of arbritrarily creating new words/phrases/what have you....
Oh, did I mention I was an Inglushhhh Mayyjurrrrr? How's that for phonetic spellings. FAU's Dr. Faraci would be proud :) But I digress....
Ahem...ok, the new word for the day is Autopensology: the study of thinking about oneself, to the point of ponderance, even....Hmmmm, so, thus it logically follows that one who regularly finds herself immersed in this study would aptly be referred to as an Autopensologist.
Now, as to the etymological derivation of this new word, you bilingual espaneeeshhh espeekers can understand how I actually arrived at dubbing my newest word creation (i.e., "pensar")--newest, I say, for I have had many, ummmm, "twizzisms" or little wordages that my screen name proudly created and circulated widely in my internet chatroom days. So, I guess this is a bit of Spanglish reinvented to sound WAY more intelligent than it is--and what it is--is GOOFY.
But, alas, I digress once again (a seemingly common theme for me these days, as I bounce from project to project, trying to rub two coherent thoughts together and keep from jabbering unrelated topics simultaneously)--the more important question: How does one become an official Autopensologist? What type of job markets are the most ideal for this occupation?
Well, my dearies, I would venture to say that those persons who are prone to mentally spacing during divers meaningless meetings, those who are way too curious to stay out of trouble and question EVERYTHING, and those who also frequently lapse into periods of stream-of-consciousness and then find the hilarity of blending random thoughts and words together--often in the wee hours of the morning when unable to sleep because her brain won't shut off--this person presents as the ideal candidate for the serious study of autopensology. The icing on the cake, of course, would be someone who has a proclivity of striking a pose and finding every mirror within a 50-mile radius, and happens to know the minute differences between honey, wheat, golden, and champagne...(duhhh, they're part of BASIC BLONDE 101!!!! PAY ATTENTION!!!)
When any of all of these circumstances combine, this offers the person the unique opportunity of frequently reflecting (not their mirror image, although that is a fortunate by-product) about themselves, their plans for the day, their outfit to pick up from the cleaners, what they want to do on the weekend, what job they'd really rather be doing than the one they are doing at the present, etc.....OK, that's the shallow side of autopensology.
And now for something a bit DEEPER....
Of course, self-reflection and self-examination affords one the excellent opportunity to really think about their life, what it means, how much good they do each day, what type of difference can they make, whether they're going to turn the other cheek and forgive people who wrong or cross them, how to be a bit better than the day before, how much they love or want to change their life, how to express themselves, what creative or artistic talents they posess and how to harness or cultivate them, how to find their one true voice, how they can help someone else, if they believe in a higher power or if they want to develop a relationship with that higher power relevant to their life, etc etc etc....WOAH, HOLY NON-SHALLOW BATMAN!!!!!
As for the latter question--what type of job market is ideal for this study or discipline--ummmm, well, that would be ALL of them, especially GOVERNMENT WORK :)
OK, enough babbling for the evening--"Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, Rage against the dying of the light." As a fellow practicing autopensologist, I hope to resemble that remark....
