Shape Sorter

So, through 80's music, I have discovered that my soul is a shape sorter.

Picture this. On the way to Conway, from Little Rock, my mom and I are in the gold Oldsmobile Silhouette, with Before X playing. Before X is an amazing compilation of 80's alternative music. :D As we are having a casual conversation, "Rough Night In Jericho" comes on.

We've kept the music turned down so we could talk, but I randomly stop talking in order to sing the intro to one of the verses, "There were four little girls with foreign names!". Mom looked at me and laughed. Naturally, I apologized for my spazzy interruption of our conversation. My apology was somewhat like "I'm sorry, sometimes part of a song reaches out and steals my soul, and I have to sing part of it. I can't help it!"

After that, "Missionary Man" by the Eurythmics comes on. As the opening beats play, I make a spazz noise, and go "This just fills a happy hole in my heart!!" Mom was surprised to know I have a happy hole. :P

My explanation is a comparison of my soul to a shape sorter. You remember the red and blue balls that had yellow shapes that you put in the similarly shaped spots? Well with emotions, happy things fill the happy hole, sad things fill the sad hole. Everything to its proper place. Randomly, at some time later, I was wondering which part of the shape sorter each of my emotions would be. Squares have corners, but circles never end. So does happiness never end? Or is sadness neverending? Which shape do I like more?? How can I ascribe geometric meaning to emotions? What does each shape symbolize? My silly metaphors can be astonishingly complicated!
