I was a Democrat until the age of fourteen...which will surprise those who know me as a staunch conservative. And I love the word "staunch." Just saying it is akin to eating a pizza topped with shrapnel and marsupial excrement.

To defend myself on the whole schizophrenia deal, I actually DO have it and it runs on my mother's side. I'm not enough of a dumbass to lie about something like that, because I would gain nothing from it.

I'm arachnosexual and I dig Pandas as well...now THERE'S a lie that's interesting.


spoiler (highlight to read):
And for a record, that is a lie. The arachnosexual Panda thing. Err...*ducks out of thread*

Eh, I don't want to start a flame war or make anyone upset or anything, but I HIGHLY doubt that every single one of you has multiple personalities. Just becauseAxehandle said he hears voices in his head everyone jumped up to say "Oh, me too! I have different personalities too!" Personally, I believe Axehandle and Zopwx2. From their posts and the way they say things they seem mature enough not to say something like that unless they REALLY KNEW what they were talking about. As for everyone else... I highly doubt you do for a few reasons. 1) Most of the time when you have multiple personalities, you arent aware of them to the point that you realize that you are in within the same person, You tend to think of them as completely different people unrelated to you. 2) If you were diagnosed with multiple personalities, I don't think the doctor would let you go like it was the common cold. He would either give you some treatment to flush out and eradicate the other personalities or he would lock your ass up. Hearing 1 voice in your head every now and then doesn't count enough to be considered multiple personalities and acting like a different person around different people doesnt mean you have multiple personalities... It means you're a sociopath. Also for the record Schizophrenia is NOT multiple personality disorder. Schizophrenia is what Zopwx2 and Axehandle said they had with the voices and hallucinations and stuff. Let's see, is that all I wanted to say? Yeah im pretty sure... (Also, I took a course on psychology so I kno to some degree at least what im talking about. Im not pulling all of this out of my ass.)




I was being sarcastic, I didn't believe JA.

I just realized that the girls that I've been hanging out with for the past few weeks at college don't give a f*** about me and care about two things and two things only: other men and alcohol. This is ironic, on the account of this has happened to me with my previous girlfriend.

I lied to my father to get on a flight to Klamath on a date when mom was in california, stole moms car, met her abusive ex husband, got what I needed, stole his sanity, AND still managed to get my homework done.


Thank you Wienberg! You were the inspiration without even trying. Okay...so PB and Evan helped too...

I don't really feel sorry. I'm rather quite glad about something that happened to a friend of mine today. Football can be quite an interesting game.

I must be in a confessing mood...

spoiler (highlight to read):
A lot of my interests haven't be very interesting to me. I use to read a lot of new books but now I find new books a chore to read. Rather read something I don't have to fully pay attention to.


spoiler (highlight to read):
I tend to worry more about the problems of others than actually worry about mine.


spoiler (highlight to read):
My first reaction to problems is always to run. I'd rather not deal with them. So I usually end up being in denial about them until I have to take care of them.


spoiler (highlight to read):
Sometimes when I think, I will have inner conversations with myself. Usually I act like I'm talking to a friend and that they are answering me.


spoiler (highlight to read):
I tend to be able to handle my crushes. Usually, I don't let them get the best of me because they tend to be one-sided. I treat them like it's something to keep me out of trouble. However, I'm usually not too open about them with the person I have a crush on. So doing that has been a new thing for me. I'm not sure how to handle all of it. Been a new experience for me.

That's true for me too

especailly when it comes to dealing with problems I have with people, I tend to avoid the person in question. Instead of confronting them head on.

I may be the worst person to consult if you're considering suicide, because I'll probably just tell you to "stop being a jackass" and "get ahold of yourself." I actually get angry at people when they start feeling sorry for themselves. In fact, that recently happened to a friend of mine who said he was playing Russian Roulette. I half-believed him because he's done odd things in the past, though I still treated him like sh**. Thankfully he didn't kill himself, but if he had then I wouldn't have even felt responsible or regretted it.

Shameful I know, considering he is one of my BEST friends.

I don't think that's true at all......

See, I have the exact opposite problem: I tend to tell people exactly how I feel without putting any thought behind it. If I don't like a person, I don't feign politeness, I either ignore them or flat-out tell them I don't like them.

Today, for example, two of my co-workers were chastising me because I'm never polite to a woman who handles payroll at my store. My reason for being less than friendly is that I have had numerous paychecks where I was not paid properly because of this woman's inability to read simple notes. I now have to take my paycheck, calculate hours worked and payrates, etc. and compare them to my paystub every single week because I can't trust her. If she's going to create this added hassle in my life, why should I be nice?

To be honest, the reason these two were complaining was that one of them is her sister and the other has been sucked into her sob story about her problems outside of work. Yeah, the lady's having some tough times outside of work, but the payroll problems were happening a whole year prior to said recent incidents and besides, personal and professional lives are two separate entities. She basically can't handle the job before her and she should just be honest and admit to it. In the mean time, why should I be all lovey-dovey with her? UGH!!!

My mouth also gets me into trouble quite a bit. I have almost no filter between my brain and my lips, ESPECIALLY when I'm angry. OOoooooohhhhh Lordy be thankful I haven't gotten mad here! I know I am. Big Grin

The only emotion I have trouble expressing is love, ironically. If I'm around someone I'm attracted to, I tend to skirt the issue. I think this mainly has to do with not wanting to open myself up to another for fear of being hurt. I haven't exactly had the best girlfriends in times past. Oh Well

I tend to be very pessimistic. I have a friend, who lives in New York and the only way I have of talking to her is over AIM, and she hasn't been on at all in like a week. She'd had computer trouble lately so it probably quit on her, but I've managed to convince myself that she was hit by a bus or something. I should probably be on Zoloft.
