Previously: the Deathcake Series (have you made Deathcake?) modelled the process of how a trigger causes a cascade into crushing depression. I learned how panic actually has a calming effect on a part of my nature. But it couldn't tell me why I keep crashing and burning. It took the cumulative...
Mom thinks she’s the perfect parent. In many ways she is indeed a great parent, we are all very well cared for physically. Mom has always had rule that we have to be involved in at least one out of the home hobby or activity growing up, as well. If i want advice on babysitting bubba, she’s...
I wish i could learn to put on a personality. If i had a daughter personality, a cashier personality, a babysitter personality, and a student personality i’d be all set. A face for every role. Because a role isn’t me it could be updated and revised and tweaked as needed, perfected, so that the...
Can enough small histories help me make better decisions about what, and how, to prune the growths in my life that don't make me happy? Am I reasonably certain that I can tell a growth that's bad from a growth that's good?
Things I have to make a decision about include choir, church (the...
Well its monday, I broke my mouse slamming it onto the desk several times when my laptop wouldn't work right, threw the broken mouse into the wall twice and broke it even more, and am now moping to one of the few sad songs on my itunes playlist...that'd be about how my day is going. At least the...
The noise oh the noise.
I may be mentally impaired.
Pills to float on the surface of sanity.
People I knew in high school moving fluidly through life.
Perplexed at how so many autistic folk move, as NT's, with much fluidity.
Enter autistic space and feel like an outsider. Maybe wires...
With some midday luck I turn on the cassette player and skip three times to one of my favorite bands; explosions in the sky.
I read up on the different types of clouds last night and it got me thinking; there's a blog here and i should put the sentence about how i read about cloud types on it...
I really hate how hatred for "pit bull" type dogs runs so deep that...
When a dog that's not a pit bull attacks and injures someone, the online conversation is still about pit bulls.
I was reading comments in regards to a chow-lab mix that stalked and attacked a little boy like he was a rabbit...
I feel like running away but instead I'm just rooted here in my bed, going over the details of yet another drama in my mind, feeling the fallout & wondering how things might proceed from here in due course. Will I ever encounter again the old lady with the walking frame to whom, when she...
Caffeine is a psychoactive drug (i love that word) and another thing i love is stream-of-consciousness and ommitting things like punctuation because the true expression of the aspie mind is in the flow of ideas and questions and the world moving or rather passing by without a care in the world...
While I'm awaiting a reply from the writer's colony, I realized that committing to membership in effect gave me permission to have a nice thing that spawns other nice things. It's as if a blindfold fell from my eyes: the idea that I have to wait to solve all my getting-along-with-the-world...
I keep hopping around the things I need to write about because, frankly, it's difficult to do that- to actually write about what I need to write about. I feel like it's just a lot of freaking work.
Things I want to write about:
I'm realizing one of the ways I can be aided in expressing periods...
...That is how the mantis shrimp do.
So... I got caught up watching True Facts videos on YouTube, which are pretty amusing- sometimes disturbing and occasionally make my brain turn inside out.
I came upon the one on the mantis shrimp [seen above]. It already had me hooked with the eyesight...
I think I'm way too sensitive for like, existence.
I'm also kind of an as whole, though.
So I'm not really sure how that works.
Everyone is so mean.
Maybe I don't realize how mean I am to everyone every day.
I wish I knew.
...because, really- ouch.
Changing relationships--work, church, or major routines--make me behave kind of oddly. I don't know how to read myself, or how other people will read me.
Trying to resolve my choir crisis, I printed out two of my own blog pieces (Psalm 51 and Aspie reads the Book of Numbers), and the inside...
So pain is no where near where it was.
But it's different, and kind of bad.
I'm pretty sure that is a combination of not really sleeping a whole lot/well and being so completely stressed out and anxious that the tension in my upper back is just totally ****ing everything.
So it's really...
Related to the thread on Who am I?
The one thing that causes people with aptitude, ability, and ambition to become better than themselves isn't talent, or genius, or even luck, said one book I read recently. The distinguishing attribute is "deliberate practice." The perceptiveness about seeking...
