An Old Me.

clinical depression, an interracial engagement, feminism, general weirdness, and staying fabulous, or at the very least, functional, in this world. part manifesto / commentary, part social coping project to generate inspiration and positivity!

are you teething or just being an ass?!



that's a hot blogger there!

boo-yaow!!! guess who's back like Eminem! i've been being both elusive or just lazy AND conquered by the transition to my new university. i've gone from huge beer bashes and class sizes of 350 to classes where we read a Bible verse each meeting [even if it's a science class] and where EVERYONE knows my name! i'll admit--i kind of like the latter feature :-)

have you missed me? i feel so much more awesome than i actually am when my blogger friends comment on my absence! YOU people are awesome [whaddya mean, you people?] and i can't wait to get back to making positive, quirky, and charming comments on all of your lovely posts again. go ahead and write some award-winning material for me! 2010 [two thousand and amen] is our year--i just know it.

SO:
  • i'm not dead.
  • i saw my ex, Larry, and he said that i must do voodoo because he still has dreams about me. oooh! he should get in trouble with the mother of his kid for that!
  • i'm still cute and football players AND softball players still whistle at me. oh, yeah! hot stuff!
  • moved in with my fiancé to our first house!
  • i've discovered how to give myself an orgasm through reverse crunches [i am going to get SO fit very quickly].
  • i honestly love all of you and i adore my new followers, too. i hope that my new friends can come to like me as much as y'all old bitches do..
give me a day or so to catch up! i can't wait, mes cheres!

and here's an actual photo that i took in my hometown when i was shopping recently:

and i got an award from The Ranting Teenager! go stop by her blog and say nice things!

fragile x, autism, high.

this is just a random emission of mine. born from a conversation i had yesterday from an old friend:

i was talking to an acquaintance from my old university on instant messenger yesterday and my mind played over all of my concerns, ideas, and opinions of this man. i've always considered him to be spacey and even dense. he was unattractively goofy in his mannerisms. he had slight speech problems and was really S-L-O-W to speak and react. his excuse was that he was just being chill. to my knowledge, he didn't do drugs--BUT his eyes always seemed glazed over and had no real focus. he would just gaze into space as if nothing was really there. he would blink like he was constantly waking up from a dream.definitely a goofy spazz of a person.

don't get me wrong, this guy wasn't retarded. he was an engineering major at school. but today i was so perplexed as to his "problem," or just him being him, and i Googled a possible explanation.

Fragile X Syndrome causes symptoms similar to autism:
  • Mental retardation
  • Tendency to avoid eye contact
  • Hyperactive behavior
  • Large forehead or ears with a prominent jaw
also, the affected men have atypical social development (i just thought the guy was weird for no reason), shyness, strange vocalization (high pitch, weird sounds, cluttering of words, and strange facial expressions. heh. my acquaintance exhibits all of these things!

but then again, he probably did use drugs (or used drugs as well as being affected by FXS, which would only amplify his condition).

so: Fragile X Syndrome, Autism, or Stoner (a big possibility considering his social crowd)? my mind is enjoying wrapping itself around this. damn, am I a carrier?! are you?

ohh, oh what's going on?

i've been less productive for some reasons. i could just pick one from a list actually. but i've been smiling the whole time and even laughing some [and wearing plenty of eyeliner]! here's recent news from my personal "life" in bullet form:
  • my old uni's football team made a HUGE college football celebrity cry

  • been having baby fever and dreaming of fuzzy-headed biracial babies because when i remove my NuvaRing, my hormones want me to be crazy
  • fought with screamed at my Old Man and had a BIG discussion with him, his mother, and his nephew about my food cravings also because of my hormones : (
  • wore a wig out in the snow to go listen to some live music! and got asked to dance at least ten times
  • finished transferring universities to a nice, liberal arts school here at home after a semester at a junior college!!
  • ate some delicious Minestrone from an old Italian recipe for the first time--Andy's mommy is a beautiful Italian woman who can cook like no one else!
  • been studying until i forget to eat in between times
  • stopped consuming caffeine
  •  discovered a new soda that has St. John's Wort, chamomile, lavender, and everything BUT weed in it. it has a warning to not consume it before driving and to not drink more than one bottle a day. it scares me.
have fun winding down your semesters and making plans for your holiday breaks! mine's gonna be awesome and filled with all of the things that make me so genuinely happy!

more school already? woo!


woo! my life has been busy and hectic with all of the moving back home and becoming stable [which i'm finally becoming good at doing]. i'm currently enrolled in a semester of junior college classes here at home in preparations of transferring a big lug of credits to a jewel of a nationally praised liberal arts school [right here in my home town!] in the spring. it's been a little hard for me lately, but i'm enjoying settling down to begin my new, adult life in a cozy fashion with my husband-to-be and our families. here is my load:

Monday:
8:00 AM-9:15 AM Statistics
10:50 AM-12:05 PM Chemistry Lecture
12:15 PM-2:55 PM Chemistry Laboratory

Tuesday:
10:50 AM-12:05 PM Biology Lecture

Wednesday:
8:00 AM-9:15 AM Statistics
10:50 AM-12:05 PM Chemistry Lecture

Thursday:
10:50 AM-12:05 PM Biology Lecture
2:05 PM-3:45 PM Biology Laboratory

Friday:
9:00 AM-11:45 AM Algebra

it's an easy and healthy course load, but i still can't wait for it to be over. none of my classmates, even the nursing students, can identify their correct glassware [snicker] and my teachers are really impressed with my knowledge and we spend minutes talking about material that's a bit extraneous to the textbook, and thus, completely over most others' heads. i'm a nerd and yes, i AM bragging!

but i'm a genuinely good person and i'm in a swell mood. i'll read and comment ASAP, but tell me this: how are everyone's classes? do you have a locker? are your teachers and professors miserable? is this going to be the year that you make some super productive changes and take over the world with me? we can paint it pink and make feather boas the global uniform [and take turns molesting an enslaved Crispin Glover].

high fives all around! yeah yeah yeah!
