crazy talk

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

As much as I don't want to date someone who is like me (neurotic, depressed, anxious, agoraphobic, et cetera), sometimes it's frustrating to be with someone whose brain chemicals are in the right places. It's like he won't ever understand what it's like in my head. But then again, I'm ...

I couldn’t shrink this to 140 characters no matter how I tried

Saturday, August 23rd, 2008

Rich people find people who knew them when they were poor; I wish Nate met me now, when I'm so discombobulated, and still could fall in love with me.

MRI

Saturday, August 23rd, 2008

Right shoulder MRI So here's what I did on Wednesday. It was terrifying, but not because of the noise or the tightness (neither was as bad as I remembered), but more because I'm an idiot who knows just enough about any given subject to be dangerous. In this instance, it's because ...

I feel like I’m losing my mind

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

I don't know if I'm on edge because my arm hurts, or if it's something more ... I can't take any sort of criticism without taking it as a personal attack. I can't make any joke without hurting someone unintentionally. Two days ago I cried because I couldn't shake a feeling of complete ...

Cross-posted!

Monday, May 26th, 2008

Pictures are up at flickr; let me know if things are fucked up over there. I was adjusting things with it last night when I was super jet lagged and I think I'd been up for like 27 hours or something, but my math might be wrong. Time zones confuse ...

anal retentive

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

I know, I know, the payoff amount will be affected by compounding interest and the like, but I couldn't help myself. I always make a $400 payment anyway, so why not make it $405.74?

aura

Saturday, April 5th, 2008

Kaity once knew someone who had a seizure anytime she heard Stevie Nicks. No joke. I couldn't make something like that up. Some people have auras before they have an epileptic seizure. They see things or hear things or smell things. I've heard of someone who smelled burned toast. Kaity and I ...

you make me sick

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

I have posts sitting in my drafts, and I doubt they'll ever be published. I thought I should disclose that, for some reason. I hate thinking about money. It makes me sick. I don't know if you caught that general theme of the last few days. I think there's something wrong with ...

berate

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

Dew, I guess you're right that I couldn't have found out about Marcus without trying it. I just find it frustrating that I wasted so much of my (and his) time. I feel more like myself when I'm with Nate. Not so much like I might be able to stop taking ...

Neurotic much?

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

I'll never forgive myself for telling Marcus that I loved him before it was true. The thing is, I thought that by saying it, maybe the feelings would be true. And I wanted to be in love so much. I wanted to not be in love with Ian. I wanted ...

dey took our jeorbs!

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

So tonight on the way home from Nate's/Uno's/eclipse-watching, I realized that I have been so focused on how rotten I was feeling over the last week or so, that it had become pity. Ugh. I haven't pitied myself like that since college & the whole suicidal Creighton fiasco. [Tangent: I'm wicked ...

Oh, the drama

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

What is it with today? I just want to go to bed and not be around anyone for a week. I don't think I can process everything and not scream, let alone work, tomorrow. It started out with dropping Marcus off at the airport this morning. After getting ...

healthy, but not wealthy or wise

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

I have been spoiled by Paulie not waking me up. I slept until 1030 this morning. Oh well. It was too good a dream to interrupt with silly things like productivity or initiative. Psh. I had a doctor's appointment this afternoon. Everything is awesome, except my insulin levels are still ...

geeks and what else?

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

Marcus said something incredibly insightful about geeks today, something I meant to write down right away so I could think about it some more. Unfortunately, I forgot about it until I just read something on WWDN. It's too bad, too, because you would have thought I was clever and shit.

Am I going mad?

Sunday, January 20th, 2008

Tonight, as I was driving to Kaity's, I didn't know how to drive. It was only for a few seconds, at the most. Only long enough for me to realize that I was in a car, driving, and I had no idea how to operate it. And ...

t-t-t-t-t-today, juniuh!

Friday, January 18th, 2008

It's very frustrating when I am trying to explain a test to a patient or tell a story or have a conversation and I can't stop tripping over my words. I've been stammering and stuttering more and more as of late. This last week has been particularly bad. ...

Abduction

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

Getting abducted by aliens: pretty much my worst nightmare. I don't know why I'm so afraid of it, but I am. I thought of something the other day, though. If you were abducted by aliens, even if no one ever believed you, at least you would know there's life elsewhere in ...

resolute

Monday, December 31st, 2007

I've always put off New Year's Resolutions until March. My birthday's in March; I figure I can get away with my newest year being close enough to everyone else's. This year I feel like doing something different. Next December 31st, there are a few things I want ...

When does it end?

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

Everyone seems to focus on "When does life begin?", especially when they're involved in the abortion debate. Today I wished I could say for certain that I knew when it ends.Wikipedia lists several options for when death is pronounced. It used to be defined as cessation of breathing ...
