Hello, I'm new to this forum!

Greeting Plectrum.  I'm guessing with that name you probably play guitar?

Yes, on and off. I have phases when I can't put it down, and phases when I can't pick it up. I'm not that skillful. I just like the word plectrum, and I try not to swallow them, lol. 

How about you? 

I used to dabble a little, no real aptitude or talent for it sadly.  

    I get very distracted when I see odd things or patterns in things and forget what I was supposed to be doing, whether it's work or putting out the rubbish

Funnily enough, I started playing the guitar because I heard patterns in music due to synaesthesia and I just needed to play the sounds else my head would have exploded  

That’s like when I look at a clock and it’s always a specific time. I can’t believe people can look at 12 hour clocks on walls and tell the time in 2 seconds. It takes me at least 5 to identify where the hands are pointing. Needless to say motor skills are not my strong point either. 

I also wanted to learn the guitar but I got frustrated and didn’t have the patience. I just mess around with it for fun now. It was a temporary obsession one could say.
