The Paradigm Confessional Thread

Good job CT. It'll help your liver.

My confession..

spoiler (highlight to read):

I've become really paranoid lately. I hear things. I see frightening shapes. I have a feeling everyones out to get me. Not to mention the fact I almost got in a fight with an angry black kid and would have had my face rearranged if I hadnt kept my cool. I also have strange reflex to violence and intense agitation. My vocal chords seem to freeze, and I am unable to speak. Am I losing it for real, or just for now?

i'm so sorry, but when i heard the part of the African-American that could re-arrange your face, i laughed. i would look online to see if you can self diagnose yourself, if not, see a psychologist, because that does (frighteningly enough) sound like schizophrenia. stay calm and see a psychologist asap.

also for CT:

good for you Scott, but if you feel you can't take it, cheat and stick to a malt cooler or something low like that. because getting off alcohol in general is difficult, and also, a glass of wine here and then is good for your heart actually.

I'm not an alcoholic. I don't think of myself as a problem drinker. I think of myself as a solution drinker. I'll have no problem with it at all.

Sounds fun, I might have to pick that up if my mom doesn't intervene.

The following is my confession for the day.

spoiler (highlight to read):

I have a soft spot for teddy bears and stuffed animals.

At school, I have a stalker. She won't leave me alone. She somehow found out my cell phone number and called me at 11 at night once. She also somehow found out my room number, and showed up here @ 1 am once. I recently reported her to the University Police, but I don't really see what good that would do.

Oh, and...

My girlfriend and I got into a major fight about a week or so ago and almost went our seperate ways, but worked things out and everything ended up just fine. It was over a silly difference of opinion on a personal subject.

wow, today was really weird:

spoiler (highlight to read):

i cut classical literature, orchestra, and technical drawing all in one day. wow.

So let me get this straight... Carmen Electra actually released a series of Striptease videos? Why am I not surprised?

::sighs::

spoiler (highlight to read):

I'm extremely tempted to buy more DVDs. I really own too many and I don't have the money right now, but I love owning discs... Not a major deal really, but it's my confession so deal.

I'd save all the cutting for senior year. You learn pretty much everything in the first few years of high school, and then senior year is just a piece of cake compared to everything else. I remember taking whole days off just to go to the city and screw around for a bit with friends in the 12th grade.

well, i had subs for the first and last class, and the middle one, we didn't do anything. so, i guess yeah. you make sense scott, but today was off the hook.

To quote Almasy, "Spend! Spend! Live in the moment!

But in all seriousness, good for you on your frugality; we noticed.

She doesn't actually strip in the videos. She just teaches you exotic dancer / stripper routines that help you work out while you do them. That's why it's an aerobics video! ^__^

Sounds like Tae Bo. Only, instead of the extra elements of kicking ass, they've added...stripping. Yeah, I have to admit, it sounds pretty cool.

Heh. Strip those calories away!....

Its getting weirder. I'm hearing things more acutely, especially at night. I am feeling increasingly detatched from the world around me when I'm around people. my head feels weird, and my focus goes away. I am, as I write, looking up symptoms of being a schizo. I pray I'm not. I joke about being crazy...but not medically so...

UPDATE:

spoiler (highlight to read):

holy hell. I meet some of the negative and cognative symptoms. I accidentally killed the tab before I got to read the positive symptoms.

if you know what the problem is, you can deal with it
i have recently discovered i likely havea type of autism
but when you understand it, you can fix it, and know what it does to you, and be able to resist the problems it creates better

Asperger's?
