It's not because I don't like you. It's because I haven't done a good job tracking :unsure: where I have posted. Upon joining this group I was so thrilled :wavespin: I just started posting...and posting...sometimes I feel overwhelmed. Or I do some posts and then want to isolate...:S Feel...
So, in the past week I?ve been out a remarkable amount. Well... for my standards that is. And I?ve come across an interesting observation. Mind you; this isn?t an observation from the US, however I found it interesting enough to share. Maybe I?m being seen as a madman rambling from a small...

So earlier this week I visited a psychiatrist because that apparently is the way it is at the clinic I?m visiting for my current slew of issues. Their policy pretty much is that you have to see a psychologist and a psychiatrist just for the first interview so they can assess what your problems...

Feeling sleepy, headachey and just about ready for bed. My big fella's on night shifts for the forseeable future, which sucks as he's working all night and sleeping most of the day, so I get a grand total of about 3 hours a day with him, and most of that is spent with him staring at the TV and...

Hey all. So I have been recently diagnosed as an apsie. I have an awful lot to say, but I'll keep this relevant to the topic. Who else can tell me that they picked a degree that seemed like a logical topic for them to do because they couldn't (with the amount of lacking self-esteem and major...

Finally, after five days, I have finished designing the forum game, "Eugenics: The Game". In this game, you roleplay as a scientist/politician/eugenist that has control over an isolated population. The starting population consists of a thousand males and a thousand females. The genetics...

My first reaction when I heard that the Boy Scouts had decided to admit gays was "Oh, God." Not because I don't believe that gay kids can't be good Scouts--I think that they can--but because of all of the fallout that is going to happen. And unfortunately I won't be able to avoid it. I belong...

The other day I was talking to a friend who is a small business owner about the haircut controversy. She is familar with that particular salon and let's just say that it is indeed a place which is definitely not in my income bracket nor in any of my neighbors' income bracket. So I am going to...
Once more autism is in the news and not in a positive way. I haven't seen the Facebook post that started the controversy nor do I intend to. But the situation as I understand it is that the manager of a local spa yelled at a 2 1/2 year old autistic child who was having a meltdown over getting...
One of the effects of being in and then leaving the storefront evangelical church is that I am less and less willing to suffer religious fools gladly. And God, there are a lot of them. I am talking about people who basically live in a dream world with Jesus. You know the type. About a...
Recently I ran into someone from my long-ago past. We went to the same elementary school together, a school we both recalled as a "cruel place." He said he wanted me to know that he'd always had my back. Well, maybe he did and maybe he didn't, I don't remember. It was so long ago. When we...

The other night I went to my first drum circle. I'd never been to one before and didn't know what to expect. We met at the fire pit back behind my new church. There were about eight of us. I was the only woman at first. Later another woman joined us. As soon as it started to get dusk...

I mean to blog as often as possible to try and document my thoughts so maybe I can get to the bottom of some of the troubles in life. That and it'll stop people looking at me funny when they catch me talking to myself! Buut I've been busy as all hell lately what with uni, housework and generally...
Hey people, Erm, this is a bit of a weird one. Yesterday my best friend admitted that he has been diagnosed as a psychopath, not only this but he has also been dealing with this since a suicide attempt 4 years ago. He has also been told he has narcissistic personality disorder and...

I'm trying to figure things out. I don't have many close friends. Aspergers/Autism and has always created problems for me when it comes to maintaining and building friendships. I do have a few friends, but all are living long distances away. My 2nd wife and I have been arguing all the time for...

I've been reading about those women who were kept prisoner for 10 years in Cleveland. What a disturbing and scary story! To think that something like this could be going on next door and in all that time nobody questioned, nobody followed up on their gut feelings? I've never been through...

If there were no bad in the world, then what virtue would there be in doing something good? What consequence would there be for making a poor decision? How do you know that germs are a bad thing? If you were a germ and God did not create a host for you to infect, wouldn't you think he was a bad...
This is what I want. I want to be friends first before I start making out sexually with someone. I want to get to know them first. I want to be with someone and feel safe. I want to take the time to let love and desire grow. And I don't want to have sex until I am ready. Is that too much...
